Can I make my Tiguan air conditioner 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 do I get hot air from my Tiguan 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.

How does my A/C system get a 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 Tiguan's A/C system.

Does running the A/C in my Tiguan use gasoline?

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 Tiguan.

My Tiguan’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 Tiguan to produce a vinegary odor.

What is causing my Tiguan’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?

A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Tiguan is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.

A/C Repair Service for Your Volkswagen Tiguan

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like lava.

We know our way around Volkswagen vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2009 Volkswagen A/C systems. Bring your Volkswagen Tiguan to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and 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 Tiguan A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

A/C Recharge for Volkswagen Tiguan

Let's say we repair your 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). 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 good to go. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan A/C recharges.

Other Volkswagen Tiguan A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Volkswagen Tiguan A/C problem you may encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm 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 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Tiguan.
