A/C Repair Service for Your Volvo V70

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Volvo V70 A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know our way around Volvo vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1999 Volvo A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Volvo V70

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1999 Volvo V70’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. If we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Volvo V70 A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

V70 A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1999 Volvo V70, we’ll also do 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 Volvo’s specifications to evacuate the system. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re all set. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1999 Volvo V70 A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Volvo V70 A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Volvo V70 A/C problem you may encounter. Typical A/C problems also 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 your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. And smelly A/C in a 1999 Volvo V70? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your V70.

Questions About 1999 Volvo V70 A/C Systems

  • How can I make my V70 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.
  • What’s making my V70 A/C put out warm 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 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 V70’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 V70 use gas? V70 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.
  • My V70’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 V70 to produce a vinegary odor.
  • What is causing my V70’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your V70’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
