Quick answer
With seven seats in three rows, the Exeed VX has a large cabin to cool, so a small drop in A/C performance is felt first by passengers at the back. Possible causes include a refrigerant leak, a compressor or pressure-switch fault, a blocked condenser, an expansion valve problem, or a clogged cabin filter and weak blower reducing airflow. ShipMyPart has not verified the VX A/C layout, including any separate rear unit, so parts are matched by VIN after a qualified workshop has tested the system.
Scope and limits of this VX A/C page
Covers the Exeed VX seven-seater (Luxury and Flagship) with the 2.0TGDI engine and 8-speed automatic, as listed in the Exeed UAE 2026 brochure. Not verified by ShipMyPart: the refrigerant type and charge, the compressor type, and whether a separate rear evaporator or rear blower is fitted to your grade. We do not assume any of these; the VIN decides which A/C parts fit.

How A/C trouble shows up in a seven-seater
- The third row complains of heat while the front feels acceptable.
- Vents give cool rather than cold air, getting slowly worse.
- Cooling fades in slow traffic and returns at speed.
- Fan is loud but airflow at the vents is poor.
- Cooling cuts out on very hot afternoons, then comes back.
- A damp or musty smell at start-up, or water in a footwell.
- Clicking from the engine bay every few seconds with the A/C on.
Possible causes and where they sit
Whole cabin only cool, fading over weeks: the usual suspect is a slow refrigerant leak at a hose crimp, seal, condenser or evaporator. Oily, dust-caked joints under the bonnet support that idea.
Cold while cruising, warm while waiting: heat is not leaving the condenser at low speed, through blocked fins or a cooling fan that stays off.
Cold for a while, then nothing, with clicking: the compressor may be switching on and off, because of a low charge, a faulty pressure switch or the compressor itself.
Erratic temperature, frost on pipes: an expansion valve that sticks.
Air cold but weak, worst in the third row: a clogged cabin filter, a tired blower, or rear climate components if your VX has them.
All of these remain possible causes until a workshop has measured the system.
VX A/C parts available
| Part | Role in the seven-seat VX | What stresses it |
|---|---|---|
| Compressor (clutch only if fitted) | Driven by the 2.0TGDI, it has to pull down a three-row cabin | Long full-load runs on hot afternoons and repeated short school trips |
| Condenser | Releases cabin heat at the front of the car | Dust and insects on the fins, slow queues with little airflow |
| Pressure switch | Shuts the compressor off when pressures go out of range | Low charge after a leak; heat-soaked wiring |
| Refrigerant hoses | Carry refrigerant between the engine bay and the dashboard | Vibration and engine-bay heat at crimped joints |
| Expansion valve and evaporator | Turn refrigerant into cold air behind the dashboard | Debris in the circuit; a blocked drain leaves water in the footwell |
| Blower motor and cabin air filter | Push air towards all three rows | Running at high speed for long periods; fine dust packing the filter |
Any rear-row climate parts are identified from the VIN.
Checks for VX owners
Work through the cabin row by row:
- Front: coldest setting, recirculation on, fan high, windows closed; after a few minutes of driving, the centre vents should feel properly cold.
- Second and third rows: if your VX has rear vents or rear controls, check that air comes out and that the controls change anything; sit in the back yourself for a minute.
- Fan and modes: each blower speed and each distribution mode should work.
- Outside: look through the grille at the condenser for leaves or dust, and check the floor mats for water.
Note whether passengers, speed or time of day change the result. Leave refrigerant lines and DIY recharge cans to the workshop.
When to take the VX to a workshop
On a family seven-seater the decision is usually made by the passengers: once the back rows are uncomfortable on an ordinary summer trip, it is time for a qualified workshop to put gauges on the system. Go sooner if the compressor has started to rumble, if the A/C drops out and returns on its own, or if greasy residue has appeared on pipe unions. Turn the A/C off and stop where it is safe if there is smoke, a burning smell, or a sharp squeal from the front of the engine. Young children and older relatives in a hot third row are a safety concern, so avoid waiting for the weekend.
Cooling a large cabin in UAE summers
A three-row SUV left in an open car park in July can take a long time to cool, especially for third-row passengers furthest from the front vents. School runs and short trips give the system little time to catch up. Using sunshades, venting hot air for the first moment after start-up, and keeping the cabin filter and condenser clean all help the VX system keep up with the heat.
How ShipMyPart sources VX A/C parts
Family SUVs rarely get time off the road in summer, so ordering A/C parts before the car goes in shortens the job. Send ShipMyPart the VX VIN plus the finding in the workshop’s words, for example “condenser leaking” or “blower weak”. If the workshop suspects rear-row climate parts, say so: we check from the VIN whether your VX has them. You receive a matched quote with delivery to your emirate. The Exeed VX spare parts hub lists the other categories.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the third row of my VX warmer than the front?
Rear passengers are furthest from the main vents, but weak rear cooling can also indicate low refrigerant, a clogged filter or, if fitted, a rear A/C component issue.
Does the Exeed VX have rear A/C?
ShipMyPart has not verified the rear A/C layout for each grade. We identify it from your VIN.
Why does my VX A/C cool on the highway but not in traffic?
Possible causes include a blocked condenser or a cooling fan problem.
Can I recharge the VX A/C myself?
Not recommended. Refrigerant type and quantity are not verified by ShipMyPart; a qualified workshop should test and charge the system.
Can a dirty cabin filter affect the VX A/C?
Yes. A clogged filter reduces airflow throughout the cabin.
Can ShipMyPart supply A/C parts for the Exeed VX?
Yes. Send the VIN and we identify, match and quote the parts with UAE delivery.
