Cadillac Eldorado A/C Repair

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Cadillac Eldorado?" Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Cadillac vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1988 Cadillac A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Cadillac Eldorado

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1988 Cadillac Eldorado A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and 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 Cadillac Eldorado A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Eldorado A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 1988 Cadillac Eldorado 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 Cadillac guidelines. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1988 Cadillac Eldorado A/C recharges.

Common Cadillac Eldorado A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Cadillac Eldorado A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems include 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 1988 Cadillac Eldorado? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Eldorado — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 1988 Cadillac Eldorado A/C Systems

  • How do I make my Eldorado air conditioning colder? Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • Why is my Eldorado A/C blowing hot air? 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? 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 Eldorado's A/C system.
  • Is my Eldorado A/C powered by gas? While your vehicle’s A/C system doesn’t directly use fuel, it does draw power from the engine, which can impact the fuel consumption of your Eldorado.
  • My Eldorado’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your Eldorado creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why does my Eldorado’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 Eldorado’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
