A/C Repair Service for Your Volkswagen Jetta

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. “Who can fix my Volkswagen Jetta A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Volkswagen vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2018 Volkswagen Jetta A/C systems. Bring your Volkswagen Jetta to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2018 Volkswagen Jetta 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." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Volkswagen Jetta A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Jetta A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2018 Volkswagen Jetta, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll use Volkswagen’s specifications to evacuate the system. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2018 Volkswagen Jetta A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Volkswagen Jetta A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Volkswagen Jetta A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Other common A/C problems 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. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2018 Volkswagen Jetta? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Jetta — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2018 Volkswagen Jetta A/C Systems

  • How do I make my Jetta 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 Jetta 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 can cause an A/C system leak? A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your Jetta's A/C system.
  • Is my Jetta A/C powered by gas?  The air conditioning system in your Jetta 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.
  • Why does my Jetta have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? If the air conditioning in your Jetta 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 vehicle have to be moving for my Jetta’s A/C to work? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Jetta is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
