A/C Repair Service for Your Volkswagen Scirocco

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. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Volkswagen Scirocco?" Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We’ve got experience with Volkswagen vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1985 Volkswagen. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Volkswagen Scirocco

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1985 Volkswagen Scirocco A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. 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 Volkswagen Scirocco A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

A/C Recharge for Volkswagen Scirocco

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1985 Volkswagen Scirocco, 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 use Volkswagen’s specifications to evacuate the system. 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. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1985 Volkswagen Scirocco A/C recharges.

Other Volkswagen Scirocco A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Volkswagen Scirocco A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. 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. 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 1985 Volkswagen Scirocco? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Scirocco.

1985 Volkswagen Scirocco A/C System FAQs

  • Can I make my Scirocco 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 is my Scirocco A/C blowing hot air? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • 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 Scirocco’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does the A/C in my Scirocco rely on gas? Scirocco air conditioning systems don’t use gasoline as a direct fuel source. However, they do rely on engine power, which can indirectly affect your vehicle’s gas mileage.
  • Why does the A/C in my Scirocco smell 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 Scirocco creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why won’t my Scirocco’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped? Damaged or worn components in your Scirocco’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.
