A/C Service for Mitsubishi Lancer

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. 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. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Mitsubishi vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2006 Mitsubishi. Steer your Mitsubishi Lancer to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). 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 Lancer A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Lancer A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer, 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). Then, they’ll use Mitsubishi’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 good to go. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting 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. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns 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 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. 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 Lancer — without all the sweat puddles!

2006 Mitsubishi Lancer A/C System FAQs

  • How do I make my Lancer air conditioning 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 Lancer A/C blowing hot air? 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 Lancer’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • 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? 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 Lancer to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my Lancer’s A/C only work when the car is moving? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Lancer may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
