A/C Repair Service for Your Mercedes-Benz SLK300

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. “Who can fix my Mercedes-Benz SLK300 A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2016 Mercedes-Benz. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Mercedes-Benz SLK300

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2016 Mercedes-Benz SLK300’s A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. 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.” A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Mercedes-Benz SLK300 A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Recharge the A/C in Your SLK300

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2016 Mercedes-Benz SLK300, 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. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Mercedes-Benz's recommendations. 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. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2016 Mercedes-Benz SLK300 A/C recharges.

Common Mercedes-Benz SLK300 A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Mercedes-Benz SLK300 A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. 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. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2016 Mercedes-Benz SLK300? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your SLK300.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2016 Mercedes-Benz SLK300 A/C Systems

  • How can I make my SLK300 air conditioner colder? Park in the shade whenever you can, and use a reflective sunshade in the windshield when you’re parked. If you’re the only one in the car, close all the vents except the ones that point toward you. Give the system the final boost it needs with an A/C performance check and recharge from Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • What’s making my SLK300 A/C put out warm air? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak? 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 SLK300’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Is my SLK300 A/C powered by gas? SLK300 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 SLK300 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 SLK300 to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • What is causing my SLK300’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your SLK300 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
