A/C Service for Mitsubishi Lancer

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. “Who can fix my Mitsubishi Lancer A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’ve got experience with Mitsubishi vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2002 Mitsubishi A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Mitsubishi Lancer

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer 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 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" is a machine that's run along parts of your Mitsubishi Lancer A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Lancer A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the 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 all set. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer A/C recharges.

Common Mitsubishi Lancer A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Mitsubishi Lancer A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Another common A/C problem is 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 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 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Lancer.

Questions About 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer A/C Systems

  • How do I make my Lancer air conditioning 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 Lancer 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.
  • What can cause an A/C system 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 Lancer's A/C system.
  • Does my Lancer A/C run on gas? Your Lancer’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.
  • What does it mean if the A/C in my Lancer smells like vinegar? 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 Lancer creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why won’t my Lancer’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Lancer’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
