Audi R8 A/C Repair

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. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Audi R8 A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with Audi vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2017 Audi R8 A/C systems. Steer your Audi R8 to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2017 Audi R8 A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). 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." A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Audi R8 A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Recharge the A/C in Your R8

While your 2017 Audi R8’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. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Audi's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2017 Audi R8 A/C recharges.

Other Audi R8 A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Audi R8 A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Another common A/C problem is 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 be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2017 Audi R8? 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. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your R8 — without all the sweat puddles!

Questions About 2017 Audi R8 A/C Systems

  • How can I make my R8 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.
  • What’s making my R8 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? A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your R8's A/C system.
  • Does the A/C in my R8 rely 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 R8.
  • My R8’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? If the air conditioning in your R8 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 R8’s A/C only work when the car is moving? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your R8’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
