2008 sl550 r230 A/C not cold and blowing hot air
My A/C is blowing hot air not cold? any advise
thank u |
It could be many things. First of all, set the temperature controls to their coldest setting. See if it changes based on top open vs. closed. If you set the temperature dials to the warmest setting to verify that you get heat. If none of that helps, then my question is, "Are you going to DIY this repair?" If not, take it to a mechanic. If you are going to DIY, the next step is to put gauges on it and read the pressures.

I would check high and low side pressures as Rodney suggested. If you haven't got a set of gauges, then consider investing in a diagnostic tool. Among useful statuses Star Diagnosis can display the high side pressure and the control signal the in-dash climate controller is sending to the A/C compressor.

The cheaper iCarsoft tools probably can as well.

My Mini Cooper would do this almost annually as the clutch on the compressor would go bad. That was the one issue I had with the car. I think since 2009 I went through 4 compressors.

I know a lot of people bad-mouth those recharge kits, but if you know what you are doing with them, they are fine. I will say that the gauges on them tend to be of fairly low quality.
