Don’t lose your A/C service when you need it most. Air conditioning units tend to go unused through the cooler months of the year, only to be turned on the first hot day. This is the most vulnerable time for any type of A/C unit. Having your A/C serviced before its first use of the summer will guarantee cold air on that hot day.
These vital service components to your Mercedes Benz climate control system are often the most expensive service parts to replace. Your evaporator is in charge of turning the cooling chemical into a usable gas, while the condenser brings it back to liquid for cooling. The compressor creates pressure in the system, allowing everything to work together to keep your car cool. Servicing these components will increase their lifespan and to prevent costly repairs.
Mercedes Benz AC Freon Pressures
The compressor in your Mercedes Benz A/C system builds positive pressure within the service system in order to operate properly. It’s important to control these pressures. Too little pressure and you get no cold air. Too much pressure and your compressor gets destroyed. There is a high and low side to these pressures. The low side being around 35-45 PSI, high side around 185-230 PSI. Ask our team about checking your freon and condensing fan motors the next time you’re in for service!

In order to keep your Mercedes Benz cool on hot days, you need a full supply of refrigerant. If your A/C isn’t cooling well, more than likely your refrigerant levels are low. Let our service experts at German Car Depot check your levels. Keeping your refrigerant full will optimize car service efficiency, keeping you cooler and saving gas. Low refrigerant levels can also be a sign of leakage. If the A/C in your Mercedes Benz isn’t cold, have the system checked for leaks before filling.

Cracks or damage to these service components can easily cause leakage, lowering or stopping your car systems efficiency. Our technicians at German Car Depot are trained to notice these kinds of damages, and will make car recommendations should they be found.
