A/C Service for Hyundai Elantra

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Hyundai Elantra A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know our way around Hyundai vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2006 Hyundai A/C systems. Bring your Hyundai Elantra to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2006 Hyundai Elantra A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). 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" is a machine that's run along parts of your Hyundai Elantra A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Elantra A/C Recharge

While your 2006 Hyundai Elantra’s air conditioner is being serviced, 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. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Hyundai's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant 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 Hyundai Elantra A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Hyundai Elantra A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Hyundai Elantra A/C problem you may encounter. 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. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. And smelly A/C in a 2006 Hyundai Elantra? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Elantra — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2006 Hyundai Elantra A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Elantra 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.
  • What’s making my Elantra 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? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Elantra’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  • Does the A/C in my Elantra rely on gas? Elantra air conditioning systems don’t use gasoline as a direct fuel source. However, they do rely on engine power, which can indirectly affect your vehicle’s gas mileage.
  • What does it mean if the A/C in my Elantra 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 Elantra to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • What is causing my Elantra’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Elantra may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
