Cadillac STS A/C Repair

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. “Who can fix my Cadillac STS A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Cadillac vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2006 Cadillac. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Cadillac STS

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2006 Cadillac STS A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Cadillac STS A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Recharge the A/C in Your STS

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2006 Cadillac STS, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Cadillac guidelines. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2006 Cadillac STS A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Cadillac STS A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Cadillac STS A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Another common A/C problem is 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 be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2006 Cadillac STS? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your STS — without all the sweat puddles!

Questions About 2006 Cadillac STS A/C Systems

  • How can I make my STS air conditioner 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 STS A/C? 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 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 STS’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  •  Does running the A/C in my STS use gasoline? 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 STS.
  • What does it mean if the A/C in my STS smells like vinegar? 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 STS to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why won’t my STS’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your STS is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
