However, the problem could also be leaking refrigerant or low refrigerant pressure stemming from compressor failure. This is why if your car isn’t feeling as cool as it did last summer, it’s a sign you should bring it into LaFontaine Volkswagen, and not only because you hate the summer heat, but because undiagnosed problems can quickly escalate into major expensive ones.

The Dangers of Ignoring Air Conditioner Performance Problems

If you ignore leaking coolant, whether it’s from the compressor, a cracked hose, or the condenser, it will soon empty out, resulting in moist warm air filling the AC system and corroding its parts. And a weakened belt can become so loose that it can no longer drive the compressor can snap and damage other engine components.

Our factory-trained technicians at LaFontaine Volkswagen have the state-of-the-art equipment needed to thoroughly inspect your car’s climate control system. They can then follow the cutting edge protocols needed to address the root cause of your air conditioner performance rather than just treating the symptoms.
