A/C Service for Mitsubishi Outlander

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. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. “Who can fix my Mitsubishi Outlander A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Mitsubishi vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2005 Mitsubishi. Bring your Mitsubishi Outlander to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2005 Mitsubishi Outlander A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. 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.” What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Mitsubishi Outlander A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

A/C Recharge for Mitsubishi Outlander

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2005 Mitsubishi Outlander, 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. 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 the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2005 Mitsubishi Outlander A/C recharges.

Other Mitsubishi Outlander A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Mitsubishi Outlander 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. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2005 Mitsubishi Outlander? 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 Outlander — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2005 Mitsubishi Outlander A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Outlander 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.
  • Why do I get hot air from my Outlander A/C? 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.
  • 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 Outlander’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does the A/C in my Outlander rely on gas? While your vehicle’s A/C system doesn’t directly use fuel, it does draw power from the engine, which can impact the fuel consumption of your Outlander.
  • What can cause the A/C in my Outlander to smell 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 Outlander to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my Outlander’s A/C only work when the car is moving? Damaged or worn components in your Outlander’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
