Can I make my Sprinter 3500 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 3500 A/C put out warm 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.

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 Sprinter 3500’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Does my Sprinter 3500 A/C run on gas?

Sprinter 3500 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.

Why does my Sprinter 3500 have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C?

It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your Sprinter 3500 to produce a vinegary odor.

What is causing my Sprinter 3500’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?

Damaged or worn components in your Sprinter 3500’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.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 A/C Repair

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2010 Mercedes-Benz A/C systems. Bring your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2010 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 A/C system to see if repair work is required. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. If we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

A/C Recharge for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2010 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the 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 the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re all set. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2010 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 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. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2010 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Sprinter 3500 — without all the sweat puddles!
