How do I make my Sprinter 2500 air conditioning 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 Sprinter 2500 A/C blowing hot air?

If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.

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 Sprinter 2500’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Does the A/C in my Sprinter 2500 rely on 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.

Why does my Sprinter 2500 have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C?

If the air conditioning in your Sprinter 2500 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 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.

We’ve got experience with Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. 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" is a machine that's run along parts of your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Recharge the A/C in Your Sprinter 2500

Let's say we repair your 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 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. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Mercedes-Benz's recommendations. 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 good to go. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. 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 can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. And smelly A/C in a 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500? 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. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Sprinter 2500’s A/C!
