How do I make my Freelander air conditioning 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 Freelander 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?

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

Does my Freelander A/C use gas?

The air conditioning system in your Freelander 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.

My Freelander’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that?

If the air conditioning in your Freelander 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 does my Freelander’s A/C only work when the car is moving?

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

We know our way around Land Rover vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2005 Land Rover A/C systems. Bring your Land Rover Freelander to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2005 Land Rover Freelander’s A/C system to see if repair work is required. 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 Land Rover Freelander A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

A/C Recharge for Land Rover Freelander

Let's say we repair your 2005 Land Rover Freelander A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. 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 ready to get back on the road. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2005 Land Rover Freelander A/C recharges.

Common Land Rover Freelander A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Land Rover Freelander A/C problem you may encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this 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 2005 Land Rover Freelander? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Freelander’s A/C!
