A/C Repair Service for Your Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. “Who can fix my Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’ve got experience with Oldsmobile vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1983 Oldsmobile A/C systems. Bring your Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a 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 Cutlass Cruiser A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Cutlass Cruiser A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Then, they’ll use Oldsmobile’s specifications to evacuate the system. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser A/C recharges.

Common Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass 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. 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 Cutlass Cruiser’s A/C!

Frequently Asked Questions for 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser A/C Systems

  • How do I make my Cutlass Cruiser air conditioning 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.
  • What’s making my Cutlass Cruiser A/C put out warm air? 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 causes A/C system leaks? 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 Cutlass Cruiser's A/C system.
  •  Does the A/C in my Cutlass Cruiser use gas? Your Cutlass Cruiser’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 my Cutlass Cruiser have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? 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 Cutlass Cruiser to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • What is causing my Cutlass Cruiser’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 Cutlass Cruiser is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
