Mitsubishi Eclipse 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. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. “Who can fix my Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We’ve got experience with Mitsubishi vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2000 Mitsubishi A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Mitsubishi Eclipse

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. 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" is a machine that's run along parts of your Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Eclipse A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Mitsubishi guidelines. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C recharges.

Other Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Typical A/C problems also 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 may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. 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 Eclipse — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C Systems

  • How can I make my Eclipse air conditioner colder? For starters, use a sun-blocking shade in the windshield while you’re parked, or look for a shady parking spot. Closing all the passenger vents in your car can help redirect cold air toward you, cooling you off faster. Still need more chill? Head to Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • Why is my Eclipse A/C blowing hot 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 Eclipse’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Is my Eclipse A/C powered by gas? Your Eclipse’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.
  • My Eclipse’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? If the air conditioning in your Eclipse smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.
  • What is causing my Eclipse’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Eclipse may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
