How can I make my Sprinter 2500 air conditioner colder?

Park in the shade whenever you can, and use a reflective sunshade in the windshield when you’re parked. If you’re the only one in the car, close all the vents except the ones that point toward you. Give the system the final boost it needs with an A/C performance check and recharge from Firestone Complete Auto Care.

What’s making my Sprinter 2500 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 can cause an A/C system leak?

Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Sprinter 2500’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 the A/C in my Sprinter 2500 use gas?

Your Sprinter 2500’s A/C uses some power from the engine to run. So, while your air conditioning system may not directly use gasoline as a fuel source, using the A/C can indirectly affect your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.

What does it mean if the A/C in my Sprinter 2500 smells 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 Sprinter 2500 creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.

Why won’t my Sprinter 2500’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 2500 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

A/C Repair Service for Your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. “Who can fix my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We’ve got experience with Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2017 Mercedes-Benz. Steer your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500’s A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). 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 2500 A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

A/C Recharge for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500

While your 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500’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. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re good to go. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 A/C problem you may encounter. Typical A/C problems also include 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 can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500? 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. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Sprinter 2500’s A/C!
