Can I make my Sprinter 3500XD 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.

Why is my Sprinter 3500XD 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.

What causes A/C system leaks?

Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Sprinter 3500XD’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 3500XD use gas?

Your Sprinter 3500XD’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 can cause the A/C in my Sprinter 3500XD to smell like vinegar?

If the air conditioning in your Sprinter 3500XD 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 does my Sprinter 3500XD’s A/C only work when the car is moving?

If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Sprinter 3500XD’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’ve got experience with Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD A/C systems. Steer your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD 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 3500XD

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD, 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. 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 once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD A/C recharges.

Common Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this 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 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. 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 3500XD — without all the sweat puddles!
