Chevrolet Cavalier A/C Repair

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. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Chevrolet Cavalier A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Chevrolet vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1984 Chevrolet A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Chevrolet Cavalier

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1984 Chevrolet Cavalier’s A/C system to see if repair work is required. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. 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” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Chevrolet Cavalier A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Cavalier A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1984 Chevrolet Cavalier, we’ll also do 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 use Chevrolet’s specifications to evacuate the system. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re good to go. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1984 Chevrolet Cavalier A/C recharges.

Common Chevrolet Cavalier A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Chevrolet Cavalier A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Typical A/C problems also 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 1984 Chevrolet Cavalier? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Cavalier.

Frequently Asked Questions for 1984 Chevrolet Cavalier A/C Systems

  • How can I make my Cavalier air conditioner 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 do I get hot air from my Cavalier 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 Cavalier’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my Cavalier A/C use gas?  The air conditioning system in your Cavalier 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.
  • What can cause the A/C in my Cavalier to smell like vinegar? It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your Cavalier to produce a vinegary odor.
  • What is causing my Cavalier’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Cavalier is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
