Can I make my Discovery Sport 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 Discovery Sport A/C?

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 causes A/C system leaks?

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

Does my Discovery Sport A/C use gas?

Your Discovery Sport’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 Discovery Sport’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that?

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 Discovery Sport to produce a vinegary odor.

Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Discovery Sport’s A/C to work?

There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Discovery Sport may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

A/C Repair Service for Your Land Rover Discovery Sport

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. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. “Who can fix my Land Rover Discovery Sport A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know our way around Land Rover vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2018 Land Rover A/C systems. Bring your Land Rover Discovery Sport to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a 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.” What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Land Rover Discovery Sport A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Discovery Sport A/C Recharge

While your 2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport’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 perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Land Rover guidelines. 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 ready to get back on the road. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport A/C recharges.

Other Land Rover Discovery Sport A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Land Rover Discovery Sport A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport? 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 Discovery Sport’s A/C!
