Buick LeSabre 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. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. “Who can fix my Buick LeSabre A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Buick vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1987 Buick. Bring your Buick LeSabre to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1987 Buick LeSabre A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. 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.” What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Buick LeSabre A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Recharge the A/C in Your LeSabre

Let's say we repair your 1987 Buick LeSabre A/C system. We will also perform 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 Buick guidelines. The A/C system is recharged 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 1987 Buick LeSabre A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Buick LeSabre A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Buick LeSabre A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Typical A/C problems also 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 can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. And smelly A/C in a 1987 Buick LeSabre? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your LeSabre — without all the sweat puddles!

1987 Buick LeSabre A/C System FAQs

  • How can I make my LeSabre 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 LeSabre 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 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 LeSabre’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my LeSabre A/C run on gas?  The air conditioning system in your LeSabre 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 LeSabre smells like vinegar? If the air conditioning in your LeSabre 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.
  • Why does my LeSabre’s A/C only work when the car is moving? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your LeSabre’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
