Alfa Romeo Spider A/C Repair

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Alfa Romeo Spider?" Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Alfa Romeo vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1989 Alfa Romeo A/C systems. Steer your Alfa Romeo Spider to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1989 Alfa Romeo Spider A/C system to see if repair work is required. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. 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 Spider A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Spider A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1989 Alfa Romeo Spider, 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). Next, they will evacuate the system according to Alfa Romeo's recommendations. 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 all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1989 Alfa Romeo Spider A/C recharges.

Common Alfa Romeo Spider A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Alfa Romeo Spider A/C problem you may encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. And smelly A/C in a 1989 Alfa Romeo Spider? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. 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 Spider’s A/C!

1989 Alfa Romeo Spider A/C System FAQs

  • How do I make my Spider air conditioning colder? Park in the shade whenever you can, and use a reflective sunshade in the windshield when you’re parked. If you’re the only one in the car, close all the vents except the ones that point toward you. Give the system the final boost it needs with an A/C performance check and recharge from Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • Why do I get hot air from my Spider A/C? 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? A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your Spider's A/C system.
  •  Does the A/C in my Spider use gas?  The air conditioning system in your Spider 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 Spider smells like vinegar? It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your Spider to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why does my Spider’s A/C only work when the car is moving? Damaged or worn components in your Spider’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
