A/C Repair Service for Your Mercedes-Benz SLK350

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. “Who can fix my Mercedes-Benz SLK350 A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 A/C systems. Bring your Mercedes-Benz SLK350 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK350’s A/C system to see if repair work is required. 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." A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Mercedes-Benz SLK350 A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

A/C Recharge for Mercedes-Benz SLK350

While your 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK350’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 perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Mercedes-Benz guidelines. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 A/C recharges.

Other Mercedes-Benz SLK350 A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Mercedes-Benz SLK350 A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Other common A/C problems 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. 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. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK350? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. 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 SLK350.

Questions About 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 A/C Systems

  • How do I make my SLK350 air conditioning 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.
  • Why is my SLK350 A/C blowing hot 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 SLK350’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 my SLK350 A/C run on gas?  The air conditioning system in your SLK350 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.
  • What can cause the A/C in my SLK350 to smell like vinegar? 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 SLK350 creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my SLK350’s A/C to work? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your SLK350 is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
