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 it's burning your hands. Sweat soaks 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 — that’s who! We know Mitsubishi vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2008 Mitsubishi A/C systems. Bring your Mitsubishi Lancer to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer 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 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

Let's say we repair your 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer 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. Then, they’ll use Mitsubishi’s specifications to evacuate the system. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer A/C recharges.

Other Mitsubishi Lancer A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Mitsubishi Lancer A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems 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 your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. And smelly A/C in a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer? 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 Lancer — without all the sweat puddles!

2008 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.
  • What’s making my Lancer A/C put out warm 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.
  • What can cause an A/C system 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.
  • Is my Lancer A/C powered by gas? Lancer air conditioning systems don’t use gasoline as a direct fuel source. However, they do rely on engine power, which can indirectly affect your vehicle’s gas mileage.
  • What can cause the A/C in my Lancer to smell 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.
  • What is causing my Lancer’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 Lancer may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
