How can I make my MX-5 Miata 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 is my MX-5 Miata A/C blowing hot 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 MX-5 Miata's A/C system.

Does my MX-5 Miata A/C run on gas?

MX-5 Miata 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 MX-5 Miata smells like vinegar?

It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your MX-5 Miata to produce a vinegary odor.

Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my MX-5 Miata’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 MX-5 Miata’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Steer your Mazda MX-5 Miata to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2014 Mazda MX-5 Miata A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Mazda MX-5 Miata A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

MX-5 Miata A/C Recharge

While your 2014 Mazda MX-5 Miata’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Mazda guidelines. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2014 Mazda MX-5 Miata A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Mazda MX-5 Miata A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Mazda MX-5 Miata A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems 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. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2014 Mazda MX-5 Miata? 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 MX-5 Miata — without all the sweat puddles!
