A/C Repair Service for Your Cadillac DeVille

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. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Cadillac DeVille A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know our way around Cadillac vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1998 Cadillac. Bring your Cadillac DeVille to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1998 Cadillac DeVille’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. 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 Cadillac DeVille 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 Cadillac DeVille

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1998 Cadillac DeVille, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll use Cadillac’s specifications to evacuate the system. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1998 Cadillac DeVille A/C recharges.

Other Cadillac DeVille A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Cadillac DeVille 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 your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this 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 1998 Cadillac DeVille? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your DeVille.

Questions About 1998 Cadillac DeVille A/C Systems

  • Can I make my DeVille 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.
  • What’s making my DeVille A/C put out warm air? 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.
  • How does my A/C system get a 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 DeVille’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my DeVille A/C use gas?  The air conditioning system in your DeVille 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.
  • My DeVille’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? 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 DeVille to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • What is causing my DeVille’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your DeVille may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
