A/C Service for Lincoln Mark VIII

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Lincoln Mark VIII?" Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We’ve got experience with Lincoln vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1998 Lincoln. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Lincoln Mark VIII

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII’s A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). 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 Lincoln Mark VIII 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.

Recharge the A/C in Your Mark VIII

While your 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII’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). Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Lincoln guidelines. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII A/C recharges.

Common Lincoln Mark VIII A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Lincoln Mark VIII A/C problem you may encounter. 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 may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Mark VIII’s A/C!

Frequently Asked Questions for 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII A/C Systems

  • How can I make my Mark VIII air conditioner colder? For starters, use a sun-blocking shade in the windshield while you’re parked, or look for a shady parking spot. Closing all the passenger vents in your car can help redirect cold air toward you, cooling you off faster. Still need more chill? Head to Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • Why do I get hot air from my Mark VIII 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 causes A/C system leaks? 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 Mark VIII’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Is my Mark VIII A/C powered by gas?  The air conditioning system in your Mark VIII 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 Mark VIII 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 Mark VIII to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my Mark VIII’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 Mark VIII’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
