How do I make my 90 Quattro air conditioning colder?

For starters, use a sun-blocking shade in the windshield while you’re parked, or look for a shady parking spot. Closing all the passenger vents in your car can help redirect cold air toward you, cooling you off faster. Still need more chill? Head to Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.

What’s making my 90 Quattro A/C put out warm air?

An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.

What causes A/C system leaks?

Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your 90 Quattro’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 my 90 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 90 Quattro.

My 90 Quattro’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that?

If the air conditioning in your 90 Quattro 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 90 Quattro’s A/C only work when the car is moving?

Damaged or worn components in your 90 Quattro’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Audi 90 Quattro?" Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Audi vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1990 Audi A/C systems. Steer your Audi 90 Quattro to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1990 Audi 90 Quattro A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Audi 90 Quattro A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

A/C Recharge for Audi 90 Quattro

While your 1990 Audi 90 Quattro’s air conditioner is being serviced, 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 use Audi’s specifications to evacuate the system. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1990 Audi 90 Quattro A/C recharges.

Common Audi 90 Quattro A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Audi 90 Quattro A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1990 Audi 90 Quattro? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your 90 Quattro.
