A/C Service for Mercedes-Benz SLK230

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Mercedes-Benz SLK230 A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know our way around Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK230 A/C systems. Steer your Mercedes-Benz SLK230 to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK230’s 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 any signs point to a possible leak, we’ll send a special U/V dye through the system, or use something called a “sniffer.” What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Mercedes-Benz SLK230 A/C system to 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 SLK230

Let's say we repair your 1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK230 A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Mercedes-Benz guidelines. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant 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 1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK230 A/C recharges.

Other Mercedes-Benz SLK230 A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Mercedes-Benz SLK230 A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. 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 1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK230? 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. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your SLK230’s A/C!

Frequently Asked Questions for 1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK230 A/C Systems

  • Can I make my SLK230 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 SLK230 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.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your SLK230’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 SLK230 use gas? SLK230 air conditioning systems don’t use gasoline as a direct fuel source. However, they do rely on engine power, which can indirectly affect your vehicle’s gas mileage.
  • What does it mean if the A/C in my SLK230 smells 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 SLK230 to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my SLK230’s A/C to work? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your SLK230 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
