How do I make my 6 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.

Why do I get hot air from my 6 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.

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 6’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Does the A/C in my 6 use gas?

The air conditioning system in your 6 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.

Why does my 6 have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C?

If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your 6 creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.

What is causing my 6’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?

If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your 6’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Mazda 6 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. “Who can fix my Mazda 6 A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Mazda vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2021 Mazda 6 A/C systems. Steer your Mazda 6 to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2021 Mazda 6 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.” What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Mazda 6 A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Recharge the A/C in Your 6

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2021 Mazda 6, 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 Mazda’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. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2021 Mazda 6 A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Mazda 6 A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Mazda 6 A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might 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. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2021 Mazda 6? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your 6’s A/C!
