Need Car A/C Repair?
Apart from the obvious lack of cold air in your car, there are other indicators that your vehicle’s cooling system isn’t functioning as it should. Signs you need a car A/C recharge or repair:
- Rattling or other noises when turning on the car A/C
- Musty scent coming from vents when operating the A/C
- Coolant stains under the vehicle
- Leaking water in your vehicle
Causes of Car A/C Not Working
Your cooling system is a complex system made from a collection of parts that work together to provide cold air. Everything from the compressor to the A/C clutch can affect whether your A/C is working. Common issues our technicians find, and repair are:
- Low coolant levels
- Clogged filters
- Broken A/C clutch
- Car needs an A/C recharge
- Electrical problems
Signs of Car Heating Failure
The obvious sign of your heating system not working is cold air coming out for an extended period. But your car may still warm up, even with an issue. Other signs of a failure in your heating system include:
- Windows fogging up after temperature warms
- A sweet or bitter scent when turning on the heater
- A drop in coolant levels, most noticeable by a ‘low coolant’ message on your dashboard.
- Vehicle engine overheats when the heater is in use
Causes of Car Heating Not Working
To heat your vehicle, your heater takes coolant from your radiator to help warm up the air. If there’s a lack of coolant available, your car’s heating won’t work properly. A leak in your radiator or a faulty water pump can contribute to a loss of coolant. Other issues Bosch Auto Service technicians look for to diagnose car heating problems are:
- A bad heater core
- A bad blower motor
- Faulty HVAC controls or valves
- A broken or stuck thermostat
Importance of Car A/C and Heating Services
Often, malfunctioning vehicle heating or cooling systems indicate further damage to your vehicle. Failure to repair these problems could lead to further damage and potentially a safety risk while driving. The heating and cooling systems in your car are connected to your electrical system and engine, meaning that an issue with one of them could cause an issue with a larger system in your vehicle.

Why isn’t my heater blowing warm air or my A/C blowing cold air?
