How can I make my Veloster air conditioner colder?

Park in the shade whenever you can, and use a reflective sunshade in the windshield when you’re parked. If you’re the only one in the car, close all the vents except the ones that point toward you. Give the system the final boost it needs with an A/C performance check and recharge from Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Why is my Veloster A/C blowing hot air?

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 causes A/C system leaks?

Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Veloster’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.

Does the A/C in my Veloster use gas?

The air conditioning system in your Veloster does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.

What does it mean if the A/C in my Veloster smells like vinegar?

If the air conditioning in your Veloster 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 Veloster’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped?

A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Veloster is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.

Hyundai Veloster A/C Repair

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Hyundai Veloster A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Hyundai vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2012 Hyundai Veloster A/C systems. Bring your Hyundai Veloster to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2012 Hyundai Veloster’s A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If any signs point to a possible leak, we’ll send a special U/V dye through the system, or use something called a “sniffer.” A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Hyundai Veloster A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Recharge the A/C in Your Veloster

While your 2012 Hyundai Veloster’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do 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 use Hyundai’s specifications to evacuate the system. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2012 Hyundai Veloster A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Hyundai Veloster A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Hyundai Veloster 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. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2012 Hyundai Veloster? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Veloster’s A/C!
