What causes uneven cooling in the Mercedes-Benz R300 air conditioning system?
1 Answers
Uneven cooling in the Mercedes-Benz R300 air conditioning system may be caused by the following reasons: 1. Refrigerant shortage: Car air conditioners typically require refrigerant replenishment every 2-3 years. Most refrigerant loss occurs due to leaks. If the AC performance deteriorates after refrigerant recharge and then worsens again after some time, this requires attention. 2. Damaged air blend door: Failure of the air blend door actuator is relatively uncommon but not unheard of. When no air comes from any vents after turning on the AC, replacing the actuator requires dashboard removal. 3. Dirty condenser: During summer, when car AC systems fail to cool properly despite normal system pressure readings during inspection, dealerships often recommend radiator cleaning. The primary purpose of cleaning the radiator and condenser is to improve heat dissipation. Accumulation of springtime poplar and willow catkins on the condenser can cause engine overheating or poor AC performance.
