A/C Service for Volvo XC90

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. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Volvo XC90 A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’ve got experience with Volvo vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2018 Volvo A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Volvo XC90

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2018 Volvo XC90’s A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. 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 Volvo XC90 A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Recharge the A/C in Your XC90

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2018 Volvo XC90, 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 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 2018 Volvo XC90 A/C recharges.

Common Volvo XC90 A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Volvo XC90 A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. 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. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2018 Volvo XC90? 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. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your XC90 — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2018 Volvo XC90 A/C Systems

  • How do I make my XC90 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 XC90 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 XC90’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Is my XC90 A/C powered by gas?  The air conditioning system in your XC90 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.
  • Why does the A/C in my XC90 smell like vinegar? If the air conditioning in your XC90 smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.
  • Why won’t my XC90’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your XC90’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
