A/C Service for Mitsubishi Mirage

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. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Mitsubishi Mirage A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know our way around Mitsubishi vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1996 Mitsubishi. Bring your Mitsubishi Mirage to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1996 Mitsubishi Mirage 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 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 Mirage A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

A/C Recharge for Mitsubishi Mirage

While your 1996 Mitsubishi Mirage’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do 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 once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1996 Mitsubishi Mirage A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Mitsubishi Mirage A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Mitsubishi Mirage 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. 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. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1996 Mitsubishi Mirage? 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. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Mirage — without all the sweat puddles!

Questions About 1996 Mitsubishi Mirage A/C Systems

  • How can I make my Mirage air conditioner 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 Mirage A/C put out warm 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.
  • 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 Mirage’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my Mirage A/C run on gas?  The air conditioning system in your Mirage 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 Mirage’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your Mirage to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why does my Mirage’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 Mirage may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
