How can I make my SLC43 AMG air conditioner colder?

Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.

What’s making my SLC43 AMG 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?

To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your SLC43 AMG’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Does running the A/C in my SLC43 AMG use gasoline?

The air conditioning system in your SLC43 AMG does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.

Why does the A/C in my SLC43 AMG smell like vinegar?

It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your SLC43 AMG to produce a vinegary odor.

What is causing my SLC43 AMG’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 SLC43 AMG’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Mercedes-Benz SLC43 AMG A/C Repair

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. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Mercedes-Benz SLC43 AMG?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know our way around Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2017 Mercedes-Benz. Bring your Mercedes-Benz SLC43 AMG to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC43 AMG’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 think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Mercedes-Benz SLC43 AMG A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

A/C Recharge for Mercedes-Benz SLC43 AMG

While your 2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC43 AMG’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll use Mercedes-Benz’s specifications to evacuate the system. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC43 AMG A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Mercedes-Benz SLC43 AMG A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Mercedes-Benz SLC43 AMG A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. And smelly A/C in a 2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC43 AMG? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your SLC43 AMG — without all the sweat puddles!
