How do I make my 4000 Quattro air conditioning 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.

What’s making my 4000 Quattro A/C put out warm 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.

How does my A/C system get a leak?

To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your 4000 Quattro’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Does my 4000 Quattro A/C use gas?

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 4000 Quattro.

What does it mean if the A/C in my 4000 Quattro smells 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 4000 Quattro to produce a vinegary odor.

Why does my 4000 Quattro’s A/C only work when the car is moving?

There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your 4000 Quattro may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

A/C Service for Audi 4000 Quattro

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. “Who can fix my Audi 4000 Quattro A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Audi vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1985 Audi A/C systems. Steer your Audi 4000 Quattro to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1985 Audi 4000 Quattro’s A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. 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. What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Audi 4000 Quattro A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

A/C Recharge for Audi 4000 Quattro

While your 1985 Audi 4000 Quattro’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Audi guidelines. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1985 Audi 4000 Quattro A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Audi 4000 Quattro A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Audi 4000 Quattro 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. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1985 Audi 4000 Quattro? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your 4000 Quattro.
