How can I make my 4C air conditioner colder?

For starters, use a sun-blocking shade in the windshield while you’re parked, or look for a shady parking spot. Closing all the passenger vents in your car can help redirect cold air toward you, cooling you off faster. Still need more chill? Head to Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.

Why is my 4C A/C blowing hot air?

An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.

What can cause an A/C system leak?

To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your 4C’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Does running the A/C in my 4C use gasoline?

4C air conditioning systems don’t use gasoline as a direct fuel source. However, they do rely on engine power, which can indirectly affect your vehicle’s gas mileage.

Why does the A/C in my 4C smell like vinegar?

Moisture can accumulate on your vehicle’s A/C system components, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. As this bacteria grows, it can cause the air conditioning system in your 4C to have a vinegar-like smell.

Why does my 4C’s A/C only work when the car is moving?

There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your 4C may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

A/C Repair Service for Your Alfa Romeo 4C

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Alfa Romeo 4C?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Alfa Romeo vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2017 Alfa Romeo 4C A/C systems. Bring your Alfa Romeo 4C to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2017 Alfa Romeo 4C’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Alfa Romeo 4C A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

4C A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2017 Alfa Romeo 4C, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll use Alfa Romeo’s specifications to evacuate the system. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2017 Alfa Romeo 4C A/C recharges.

Common Alfa Romeo 4C A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Alfa Romeo 4C A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2017 Alfa Romeo 4C? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your 4C — without all the sweat puddles!
