How can I make my Capri 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.

What’s making my Capri A/C put out warm air?

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 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 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?

Capri 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.

My Capri’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that?

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 Capri creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.

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

A/C Repair Service for Your Mercury Capri

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Mercury Capri?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know our way around Mercury vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1993 Mercury Capri A/C systems. Bring your Mercury Capri to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1993 Mercury Capri A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. 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 refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Capri A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 1993 Mercury Capri A/C system. We will also perform 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 Mercury’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 all set. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1993 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. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. 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. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1993 Mercury Capri? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. 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 Capri — without all the sweat puddles!
