Buick LeSabre A/C Repair

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. “Who can fix my Buick LeSabre A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Buick vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1990 Buick LeSabre A/C systems. Bring your Buick LeSabre to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1990 Buick LeSabre’s A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a 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” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Buick LeSabre A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

A/C Recharge for Buick LeSabre

Let's say we repair your 1990 Buick LeSabre A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Buick's recommendations. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1990 Buick LeSabre A/C recharges.

Other Buick LeSabre A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Buick LeSabre A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1990 Buick LeSabre? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your LeSabre.

1990 Buick LeSabre A/C System FAQs

  • 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 do I get hot air from my LeSabre A/C? If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.
  • 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 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? LeSabre 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.
  • My LeSabre’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? 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.
