How can I make my SL600 air conditioner 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 SL600 A/C put out warm air?

If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.

What causes A/C system leaks?

Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your SL600’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.

Does the A/C in my SL600 use gas?

While your vehicle’s A/C system doesn’t directly use fuel, it does draw power from the engine, which can impact the fuel consumption of your SL600.

Why does the A/C in my SL600 smell like vinegar?

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 SL600 to have a vinegar-like smell.

What is causing my SL600’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?

If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your SL600’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

A/C Service for Mercedes-Benz SL600

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Mercedes-Benz SL600 A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1994 Mercedes-Benz. Steer your Mercedes-Benz SL600 to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1994 Mercedes-Benz SL600 A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Mercedes-Benz SL600 A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

SL600 A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 1994 Mercedes-Benz SL600 A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Mercedes-Benz guidelines. 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 all set. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1994 Mercedes-Benz SL600 A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Mercedes-Benz SL600 A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Mercedes-Benz SL600 A/C problem you may encounter. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this 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 1994 Mercedes-Benz SL600? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your SL600.
