A/C Service for Mitsubishi Eclipse

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. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Mitsubishi Eclipse?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with Mitsubishi vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2009 Mitsubishi A/C systems. Steer your Mitsubishi Eclipse to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). 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." A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Recharge the A/C in Your Eclipse

Let's say we repair your 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C system. We will also perform 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. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Mitsubishi's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2009 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 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. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Eclipse.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Eclipse 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 do I get hot air from my Eclipse A/C? 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.
  • How does my A/C system get a 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 Eclipse’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  •  Does running the A/C in my Eclipse use gasoline?  The air conditioning system in your Eclipse 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.
  • My Eclipse’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? 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 Eclipse to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my Eclipse’s A/C only work when the car is moving? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Eclipse’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
