Mitsubishi Diamante A/C Repair

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 lava. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. “Who can fix my Mitsubishi Diamante A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know our way around Mitsubishi vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1996 Mitsubishi. Steer your Mitsubishi Diamante to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1996 Mitsubishi Diamante’s 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 Mitsubishi Diamante A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Diamante A/C Recharge

While your 1996 Mitsubishi Diamante’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 Mitsubishi'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. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1996 Mitsubishi Diamante A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Mitsubishi Diamante A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Mitsubishi Diamante A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. 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 1996 Mitsubishi Diamante? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Diamante — without all the sweat puddles!

1996 Mitsubishi Diamante A/C System FAQs

  • Can I make my Diamante air conditioner 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 Diamante A/C blowing hot air? 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.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak? 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 Diamante's A/C system.
  • Does my Diamante A/C use gas? Your Diamante’s A/C uses some power from the engine to run. So, while your air conditioning system may not directly use gasoline as a fuel source, using the A/C can indirectly affect your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.
  • Why does my Diamante have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? 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 Diamante to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • What is causing my Diamante’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 Diamante’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
