Lexus RC F A/C Repair

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 Lexus RC F A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know our way around Lexus vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2018 Lexus. Steer your Lexus RC F to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2018 Lexus RC F’s A/C system to see if repair work is required. 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 Lexus RC F A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

A/C Recharge for Lexus RC F

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2018 Lexus RC F, 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 Lexus’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 ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2018 Lexus RC F A/C recharges.

Other Lexus RC F A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Lexus RC F A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Another common A/C problem is 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 can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. And smelly A/C in a 2018 Lexus RC F? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your RC F.

Questions About 2018 Lexus RC F A/C Systems

  • How do I make my RC F air conditioning 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.
  • What’s making my RC F A/C put out warm air? An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your RC F's A/C system.
  • Does the A/C in my RC F rely on gas?  The air conditioning system in your RC F 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 RC F to smell 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 RC F to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my RC F’s A/C to work? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your RC F’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
  • Where can I get my RC F’s A/C repaired? Firestone Complete Auto Care has decades of experience inspecting and repairing RC F air conditioning systems. Schedule an A/C repair appointment at one of our locations near you today.
