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.

Why is my SLK55 AMG 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.

How does my A/C system get a leak?

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 running the A/C in my SLK55 AMG use gasoline?

The air conditioning system in your SLK55 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.

What can cause the A/C in my SLK55 AMG to smell like vinegar?

If the air conditioning in your SLK55 AMG 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 does my SLK55 AMG’s A/C only work when the car is moving?

Damaged or worn components in your SLK55 AMG’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

A/C Repair Service for Your Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG

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. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know our way around Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2015 Mercedes-Benz A/C systems. Steer your Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and 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 SLK55 AMG A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Recharge the A/C in Your SLK55 AMG

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG, 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. 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 ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2015 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 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 suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. 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.
