Mercury Capri A/C Repair

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. “Who can fix my Mercury Capri A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know our way around Mercury vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1983 Mercury Capri A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Mercury Capri

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1983 Mercury Capri 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 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” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Mercury Capri A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Recharge the A/C in Your Capri

While your 1983 Mercury Capri’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 Mercury's recommendations. 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 all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1983 Mercury Capri A/C recharges.

Common Mercury Capri A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Mercury Capri A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. 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. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. And smelly A/C in a 1983 Mercury Capri? 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 Capri’s A/C!

Questions About 1983 Mercury Capri A/C Systems

  • How do I make my Capri 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 is my Capri 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 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 Capri’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 Capri rely on gas?  The air conditioning system in your Capri 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 Capri 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 Capri to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Capri’s A/C to work? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Capri may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
