Spring has sprung, which means that hot, sunny days will be here in no time. While air conditioning in your vehicle is a luxury for some folks, it’s an absolute essential when summer comes to our desert climate!
Don’t get caught unprepared when the thermometer spikes. Instead, visit our Phoenix area Volkswagen service center now to ensure that you’re ready for the heat that summer is sure to bring.
Maintaining Your A/C and Condenser
For most drivers, the air conditioning is just a knob in the dash that makes cool air pour out of the vents. If you’re a bit more savvy, you might be familiar with your vehicle’s refrigerant or even know how to recharge it. What you might not know, though, is the importance of your vehicle’s air conditioning condenser.
Located at the front of the engine bay along with your radiator, your condenser actually serves a very similar purpose to the radiator it’s next to: it allows refrigerant to release heat. Then, the condenser does exactly what it’s name suggests and condenses the refrigerant from a gas back to a liquid state so that it can continue efficiently cooling your car’s cabin.
If the air conditioning isn’t blowing air as cold as it should be, or if you’re finding that your windows are fogging up when the a/c is on, it’s an indicator that your refrigerant may be low or that your condenser might be leaking. Our experts can diagnose the root of the problem and, if you do need a new condenser, help you find the right fit in our Phoenix area Volkswagen parts department.
The best favor you can do for yourself when it comes to your car’s a/c is to check it and have it serviced before you need it. Next time your in your car, crank the air conditioning for a bit and see how it feels. If it’s not up to snuff, simply contact Lunde’s Peoria Volkswagen by calling (623) 745-8745 to schedule an appointment and get set for summer!
