How do I make my XC60 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 XC60 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?

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 XC60’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Is my XC60 A/C powered by gas?

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 XC60.

Why does the A/C in my XC60 smell like vinegar?

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 XC60 to produce a vinegary odor.

Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my XC60’s A/C to work?

Damaged or worn components in your XC60’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.

Volvo XC60 A/C Repair

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Volvo XC60?" Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We’ve got experience with Volvo vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2021 Volvo. Steer your Volvo XC60 to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2021 Volvo XC60 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 we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Volvo XC60 A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

XC60 A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 2021 Volvo XC60 A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Volvo guidelines. 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 good to go. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2021 Volvo XC60 A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Volvo XC60 A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Volvo XC60 A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. 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 suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. And smelly A/C in a 2021 Volvo XC60? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your XC60 — without all the sweat puddles!
