How can I make my E-350 Econoline Club Wagon air conditioner 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.

Why is my E-350 Econoline Club Wagon A/C blowing hot 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 E-350 Econoline Club Wagon’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Does running the A/C in my E-350 Econoline Club Wagon use gasoline?

Your E-350 Econoline Club Wagon’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.

My E-350 Econoline Club Wagon’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that?

If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your E-350 Econoline Club Wagon creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.

What is causing my E-350 Econoline Club Wagon’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?

Damaged or worn components in your E-350 Econoline Club Wagon’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.

Let's say we repair your 1983 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon A/C system. We will also perform 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 Ford guidelines. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1983 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon A/C recharges.

Common Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon A/C Problems
