How can I make my Custom Cruiser air conditioner colder?

For starters, use a sun-blocking shade in the windshield while you’re parked, or look for a shady parking spot. Closing all the passenger vents in your car can help redirect cold air toward you, cooling you off faster. Still need more chill? Head to Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.

Why is my Custom Cruiser A/C blowing hot air?

If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.

How does my A/C system get a leak?

Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Custom Cruiser’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 the A/C in my Custom Cruiser rely on gas?

Custom Cruiser 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.

Why does the A/C in my Custom Cruiser smell 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 Custom Cruiser to produce a vinegary odor.

Why does my Custom Cruiser’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 Custom Cruiser’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Bring your Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1983 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Custom Cruiser A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1983 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser, 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 use Oldsmobile’s specifications to evacuate the system. 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 good to go. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1983 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser A/C recharges.

Common Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter.

An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. And smelly A/C in a 1983 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter.
