A/C Repair Service for Your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500

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. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500?" Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We’ve got experience with Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 A/C systems. Bring your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). 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” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 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 3500

Let's say we repair your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Next, they will evacuate the system according to Mercedes-Benz's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2016 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. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. And smelly A/C in a 2016 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. 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 3500’s A/C!

Questions About 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 A/C Systems

  • How can I make my Sprinter 3500 air conditioner colder? Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • Why is my Sprinter 3500 A/C blowing hot 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.
  • How does my A/C system get a 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 3500's A/C system.
  •  Does running the A/C in my Sprinter 3500 use gasoline? While your vehicle’s A/C system doesn’t directly use fuel, it does draw power from the engine, which can impact the fuel consumption of your Sprinter 3500.
  • What can cause the A/C in my Sprinter 3500 to smell like vinegar? 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? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Sprinter 3500 is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
