A/C Service for Mercedes-Benz SL550

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Mercedes-Benz SL550 A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know our way around Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2016 Mercedes-Benz. Bring your Mercedes-Benz SL550 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL550’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. If we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Mercedes-Benz SL550 A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

A/C Recharge for Mercedes-Benz SL550

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL550, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Mercedes-Benz's recommendations. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL550 A/C recharges.

Common Mercedes-Benz SL550 A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Mercedes-Benz SL550 A/C problem you may encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL550? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your SL550’s A/C!

Questions About 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL550 A/C Systems

  • How do I make my SL550 air conditioning colder? For starters, use a sun-blocking shade in the windshield while you’re parked, or look for a shady parking spot. Closing all the passenger vents in your car can help redirect cold air toward you, cooling you off faster. Still need more chill? Head to Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • What’s making my SL550 A/C put out warm air? An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak? A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your SL550's A/C system.
  • Does the A/C in my SL550 rely on gas? Your SL550’s A/C uses some power from the engine to run. So, while your air conditioning system may not directly use gasoline as a fuel source, using the A/C can indirectly affect your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.
  • Why does my SL550 have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? Moisture can accumulate on your vehicle’s A/C system components, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. As this bacteria grows, it can cause the air conditioning system in your SL550 to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my SL550’s A/C to work? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your SL550 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
