A/C Repair Service for Your Cadillac XLR

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Cadillac XLR?" Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know our way around Cadillac vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2006 Cadillac XLR A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Cadillac XLR

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2006 Cadillac XLR A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. 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" is a machine that's run along parts of your Cadillac XLR A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

XLR A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2006 Cadillac XLR, 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 use Cadillac’s specifications to evacuate the system. 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 ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2006 Cadillac XLR A/C recharges.

Common Cadillac XLR A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Cadillac XLR A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems 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 be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. And smelly A/C in a 2006 Cadillac XLR? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your XLR’s A/C!

Questions About 2006 Cadillac XLR A/C Systems

  • How do I make my XLR air conditioning 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 XLR A/C blowing hot 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 XLR’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my XLR A/C use 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 XLR.
  • What does it mean if the A/C in my XLR smells like vinegar? If the air conditioning in your XLR 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 XLR’s A/C only work when the car is moving? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your XLR may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
