A/C Service for Audi Cabriolet

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Audi Cabriolet?" Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Audi vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1996 Audi A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Audi Cabriolet

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1996 Audi Cabriolet A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Audi Cabriolet A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Cabriolet A/C Recharge

While your 1996 Audi Cabriolet’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Audi guidelines. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1996 Audi Cabriolet A/C recharges.

Other Audi Cabriolet A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Audi Cabriolet A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems 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 1996 Audi Cabriolet? 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. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Cabriolet — without all the sweat puddles!

1996 Audi Cabriolet A/C System FAQs

  • How do I make my Cabriolet air conditioning colder? Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • What’s making my Cabriolet 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.
  • What can cause an A/C system 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 Cabriolet’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my Cabriolet A/C run on 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 Cabriolet.
  • Why does my Cabriolet have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? If the air conditioning in your Cabriolet 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 won’t my Cabriolet’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Cabriolet’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
