Steer your Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG 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 suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

A/C Recharge for Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG

Let's say we repair your 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG A/C system. We will also perform 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. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG A/C problem you may encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 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 SLK55 AMG — without all the sweat puddles!

2005 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG A/C System FAQs

  • Can I make my SLK55 AMG 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 is my SLK55 AMG A/C blowing hot 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.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your SLK55 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 SLK55 AMG use gasoline? SLK55 AMG 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 the A/C in my SLK55 AMG smell 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 SLK55 AMG to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my SLK55 AMG’s A/C to work? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your SLK55 AMG may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
  • Where can I get my SLK55 AMG’s A/C repaired? Firestone Complete Auto Care has decades of experience inspecting and repairing SLK55 AMG air conditioning systems. Schedule an A/C repair appointment at one of our locations near you today.
