How do I make my S80 air conditioning colder?

Park in the shade whenever you can, and use a reflective sunshade in the windshield when you’re parked. If you’re the only one in the car, close all the vents except the ones that point toward you. Give the system the final boost it needs with an A/C performance check and recharge from Firestone Complete Auto Care.

What’s making my S80 A/C put out warm air?

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 causes A/C system leaks?

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 S80's A/C system.

Does the A/C in my S80 rely on gas?

The air conditioning system in your S80 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 S80’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that?

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 S80 creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.

Why does my S80’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 S80 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Recharge the A/C in Your S80

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2014 Volvo S80, 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. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Volvo's recommendations. 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 know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2014 Volvo S80 A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Volvo S80 A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Volvo S80 A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. 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. And smelly A/C in a 2014 Volvo S80? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter.
