A/C Service for Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. “Who can fix my Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG’s A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a 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” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

SLK55 AMG A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Then, they’ll use Mercedes-Benz’s specifications to evacuate the system. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this 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 2010 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your SLK55 AMG.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG A/C Systems

  • How can I make my SLK55 AMG air conditioner 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.
  • What’s making my SLK55 AMG A/C put out warm 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 causes A/C system leaks? 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 SLK55 AMG’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my SLK55 AMG A/C run on gas? 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.
  • What can cause the A/C in my SLK55 AMG 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 SLK55 AMG creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • What is causing my SLK55 AMG’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 SLK55 AMG may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
