A/C Service for Mitsubishi Precis

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like lava. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Mitsubishi Precis?" Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’ve got experience with Mitsubishi vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1988 Mitsubishi. Bring your Mitsubishi Precis to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1988 Mitsubishi Precis 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 we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use 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 Precis A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Precis A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 1988 Mitsubishi Precis A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll use Mitsubishi’s specifications to evacuate the system. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1988 Mitsubishi Precis A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Mitsubishi Precis A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Mitsubishi Precis A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might 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. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. And smelly A/C in a 1988 Mitsubishi Precis? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. 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 Precis — without all the sweat puddles!

1988 Mitsubishi Precis A/C System FAQs

  • How can I make my Precis 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 is my Precis A/C blowing hot 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 causes A/C system leaks? 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 Precis’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Is my Precis A/C powered by gas? Your Precis’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.
  • Why does the A/C in my Precis 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 Precis creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why does my Precis’s A/C only work when the car is moving? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Precis’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
