A/C Repair Service for Your Cadillac XT5

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. 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 XT5 A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know our way around Cadillac vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2017 Cadillac. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Cadillac XT5

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2017 Cadillac XT5’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a 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 XT5 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.

A/C Recharge for Cadillac XT5

While your 2017 Cadillac XT5’s air conditioner is being serviced, 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. 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. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2017 Cadillac XT5 A/C recharges.

Other Cadillac XT5 A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Cadillac XT5 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. 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. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2017 Cadillac XT5? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. 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 XT5 — without all the sweat puddles!

Questions About 2017 Cadillac XT5 A/C Systems

  • How do I make my XT5 air conditioning 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.
  • What’s making my XT5 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 XT5’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Is my XT5 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 XT5.
  • What can cause the A/C in my XT5 to smell like vinegar? 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 XT5 creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why does my XT5’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 XT5’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
