How do I make my EuroVan air conditioning 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 EuroVan A/C blowing hot air?

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

Is my EuroVan A/C powered by 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 EuroVan.

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

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

Damaged or worn components in your EuroVan’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.

A/C Service for Volkswagen EuroVan

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 Volkswagen EuroVan A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’ve got experience with Volkswagen vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2000 Volkswagen EuroVan A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Volkswagen EuroVan

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2000 Volkswagen EuroVan 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 we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Volkswagen EuroVan 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.

EuroVan A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 2000 Volkswagen EuroVan 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. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Volkswagen 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 all set. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2000 Volkswagen EuroVan A/C recharges.

Other Volkswagen EuroVan A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Volkswagen EuroVan A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Other common A/C problems include 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 may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2000 Volkswagen EuroVan? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your EuroVan — without all the sweat puddles!
