Air Conditioning Evaporator Service & Replacement
The evaporator is the component that plays a large role in removing the condensation that forms on the inside of your windshield during humid conditions. It works by cooling and dehumidifying the interior air to keep things pleasant inside your Volkswagen. Foul odors or foggy windshields are common signs that you may have an issue related to your evaporator.
Air Conditioning Condenser Repair and Replacement
The condenser is a component of your A/C system that’s used to maintain a comfortable temperature inside the cabin. You can usually find the condenser near the vehicle’s radiator. It’s able to convert the refrigerant into a cooled liquid that’s then circulated across the entire system. You’ll notice significantly reduced performance from your A/C if this component is damaged or worn.
Air Conditioning Compressor Repair and Replacement
Essential for staying comfortable inside your Volkswagen, the air conditioning compressor is the heartbeat of the entire system. Its main role is to pressurize the Freon required to chill the air. Other responsibilities of the compressor are to regulate temperature changes, control the air speed, and channel air into the A/C condenser.
Air Conditioning Freon Recharge
Different from your engine’s oil system, the air conditioning system is a sealed unit. This means that no Freon should be needed unless there’s a small leak that’s happened somewhere in the system. Components like the condenser, evaporator, compressor, expansion tube, and related A/C hoses may have cracked or formed a small leak. Freon is a type of refrigerant that’s responsible for keeping the air cool. A Freon recharge is often a simple procedure that can restore your A/C performance.
