A/C Service for Ford Transit Connect

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. “Who can fix my Ford Transit Connect A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We’ve got experience with Ford vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2018 Ford A/C systems. Steer your Ford Transit Connect to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2018 Ford Transit Connect’s 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 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" is a machine that's run along parts of your Ford Transit Connect A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Transit Connect A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2018 Ford Transit Connect, 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). Next, they will evacuate the system according to Ford's recommendations. 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 good to go. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2018 Ford Transit Connect A/C recharges.

Other Ford Transit Connect A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Ford Transit Connect 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. 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 2018 Ford Transit Connect? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Transit Connect.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2018 Ford Transit Connect A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Transit Connect 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 Transit Connect A/C? 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 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 Transit Connect's A/C system.
  •  Does the A/C in my Transit Connect 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 Transit Connect.
  • What can cause the A/C in my Transit Connect to smell like vinegar? It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your Transit Connect to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Transit Connect’s A/C to work? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Transit Connect may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
