How can I make my 200SX 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 is my 200SX 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 can cause an A/C system leak?

A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your 200SX's A/C system.

Does my 200SX A/C use gas?

200SX 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.

My 200SX’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that?

If the air conditioning in your 200SX smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.

Why won’t my 200SX’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped?

If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your 200SX’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Next, they will evacuate the system according to Nissan's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re good to go. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1998 Nissan 200SX A/C recharges.

Common Nissan 200SX A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Nissan 200SX A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Another common A/C problem is 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. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1998 Nissan 200SX? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter.
