Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV A/C Repair

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV?" Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Mitsubishi vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2018 Mitsubishi A/C systems. Bring your Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV’s A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and 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” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Outlander PHEV A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, we’ll also do 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 perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Mitsubishi guidelines. 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. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV A/C recharges.

Common Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems 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 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV? 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 technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Outlander PHEV’s A/C!

Questions About 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Outlander PHEV 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 Outlander PHEV 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? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Outlander PHEV’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  • Does my Outlander PHEV A/C use gas? Your Outlander PHEV’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 Outlander PHEV smells like vinegar? 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 Outlander PHEV to produce a vinegary odor.
  • What is causing my Outlander PHEV’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Outlander PHEV is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
