When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat.

We’ve got experience with Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500 A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500’s 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." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500 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.

Recharge the A/C in Your Sprinter 1500

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500, 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 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500 A/C recharges.

Other Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500 A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500 A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. 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 can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. And smelly A/C in a 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Sprinter 1500.

Questions About 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500 A/C Systems

  • How can I make my Sprinter 1500 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 do I get hot air from my Sprinter 1500 A/C? 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? 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 Sprinter 1500's A/C system.
  •  Does running the A/C in my Sprinter 1500 use gasoline?  The air conditioning system in your Sprinter 1500 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.
  • Why does my Sprinter 1500 have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? If the air conditioning in your Sprinter 1500 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 Sprinter 1500’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 Sprinter 1500 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
