Hyundai Excel A/C Repair

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. “Who can fix my Hyundai Excel A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We’ve got experience with Hyundai vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1987 Hyundai. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Hyundai Excel

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1987 Hyundai Excel’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. 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. What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Hyundai Excel A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Excel A/C Recharge

While your 1987 Hyundai Excel’s air conditioner is being serviced, 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). Next, they will evacuate the system according to Hyundai's recommendations. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you're ready to get back on the road. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1987 Hyundai Excel A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Hyundai Excel A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Hyundai Excel A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. 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 may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1987 Hyundai Excel? 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. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Excel — without all the sweat puddles!

Questions About 1987 Hyundai Excel A/C Systems

  • How can I make my Excel 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 Excel A/C? 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 Excel’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 my Excel A/C use gas?  The air conditioning system in your Excel 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 does it mean if the A/C in my Excel smells like vinegar? If the air conditioning in your Excel 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 Excel’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 Excel’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
  • Where can I get my Excel’s A/C repaired? Firestone Complete Auto Care has decades of experience inspecting and repairing Excel air conditioning systems. Schedule an A/C repair appointment at one of our locations near you today.
