How do I make my SLK32 AMG air conditioning 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 SLK32 AMG 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 causes A/C system leaks?

Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your SLK32 AMG’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 running the A/C in my SLK32 AMG use gasoline?

The air conditioning system in your SLK32 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.

My SLK32 AMG’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that?

If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your SLK32 AMG creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.

Why won’t my SLK32 AMG’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped?

If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your SLK32 AMG’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Mercedes-Benz SLK32 AMG A/C Repair

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. 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 SLK32 AMG?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2002 Mercedes-Benz SLK32 AMG A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Mercedes-Benz SLK32 AMG

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2002 Mercedes-Benz SLK32 AMG 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 SLK32 AMG A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

SLK32 AMG A/C Recharge

While your 2002 Mercedes-Benz SLK32 AMG’s air conditioner is being serviced, 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. 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 are trained to efficiently perform 2002 Mercedes-Benz SLK32 AMG A/C recharges.

Common Mercedes-Benz SLK32 AMG A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Mercedes-Benz SLK32 AMG A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Another common A/C problem is 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. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2002 Mercedes-Benz SLK32 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 SLK32 AMG — without all the sweat puddles!
