Alfa Romeo 4C A/C Repair

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 it's burning your hands. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Alfa Romeo 4C A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know our way around Alfa Romeo vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2018 Alfa Romeo. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Alfa Romeo 4C

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2018 Alfa Romeo 4C A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. If any signs point to a possible leak, we’ll send a special U/V dye through the system, or use something called a “sniffer.” A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Alfa Romeo 4C A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

A/C Recharge for Alfa Romeo 4C

While your 2018 Alfa Romeo 4C’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Alfa Romeo guidelines. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2018 Alfa Romeo 4C A/C recharges.

Common Alfa Romeo 4C A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Alfa Romeo 4C A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. 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 2018 Alfa Romeo 4C? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your 4C’s A/C!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2018 Alfa Romeo 4C A/C Systems

  • 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 do I get hot air from my 4C A/C? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? 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.
  • Is my 4C A/C powered by gas?  The air conditioning system in your 4C does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.
  • What does it mean if the A/C in my 4C smells like vinegar? If the air conditioning in your 4C smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.
  • What is causing my 4C’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your 4C’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
