How can I make my Defender 90 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 Defender 90 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.

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 Defender 90’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Is my Defender 90 A/C powered by gas?

The air conditioning system in your Defender 90 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 Defender 90 smells like vinegar?

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 Defender 90 creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.

Why won’t my Defender 90’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped?

Damaged or worn components in your Defender 90’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.

Land Rover Defender 90 A/C Repair

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. “Who can fix my Land Rover Defender 90 A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Land Rover vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1995 Land Rover Defender 90 A/C systems. Steer your Land Rover Defender 90 to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1995 Land Rover Defender 90 A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. 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” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Land Rover Defender 90 A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Defender 90 A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1995 Land Rover Defender 90, 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 Land Rover's recommendations. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re good to go. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1995 Land Rover Defender 90 A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Land Rover Defender 90 A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Land Rover Defender 90 A/C problem you may encounter. 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 can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1995 Land Rover Defender 90? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Defender 90.
