A/C Service for Audi Q5 PHEV

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like lava. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Audi Q5 PHEV A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with Audi vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2021 Audi A/C systems. Bring your Audi Q5 PHEV to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2021 Audi Q5 PHEV 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 suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Audi Q5 PHEV A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Recharge the A/C in Your Q5 PHEV

While your 2021 Audi Q5 PHEV’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 use Audi’s specifications to evacuate the system. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2021 Audi Q5 PHEV A/C recharges.

Common Audi Q5 PHEV A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Audi Q5 PHEV A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2021 Audi Q5 PHEV? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Q5 PHEV’s A/C!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2021 Audi Q5 PHEV A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Q5 PHEV air conditioner 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.
  • Why do I get hot air from my Q5 PHEV A/C? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Q5 PHEV’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.
  • Is my Q5 PHEV A/C powered by gas? Your Q5 PHEV’s A/C uses some power from the engine to run. So, while your air conditioning system may not directly use gasoline as a fuel source, using the A/C can indirectly affect your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.
  • Why does my Q5 PHEV have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? If the air conditioning in your Q5 PHEV 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 vehicle have to be moving for my Q5 PHEV’s A/C to work? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Q5 PHEV may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
  • Where can I get my Q5 PHEV’s A/C repaired? Firestone Complete Auto Care is ready to inspect and repair your Q5 PHEV’s air conditioning system. Make an appointment at one of our nearby A/C repair shops today.
