A/C Service for Mercedes-Benz SLK350

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. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Mercedes-Benz SLK350 A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We’ve got experience with Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 A/C systems. Bring your Mercedes-Benz SLK350 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 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 SLK350 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.

Recharge the A/C in Your SLK350

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK350, 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. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 A/C recharges.

Common Mercedes-Benz SLK350 A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Mercedes-Benz SLK350 A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK350? 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 SLK350.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 A/C Systems

  • How can I make my SLK350 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.
  • Why do I get hot air from my SLK350 A/C? 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? A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your SLK350's A/C system.
  •  Does running the A/C in my SLK350 use gasoline? SLK350 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.
  • Why does my SLK350 have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? If the air conditioning in your SLK350 smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.
  • Why won’t my SLK350’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your SLK350 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
  • Where can I get my SLK350’s A/C repaired? Firestone Complete Auto Care is ready to inspect and repair your SLK350’s air conditioning system. Make an appointment at one of our nearby A/C repair shops today.
