A/C Service for Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser?" Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’ve got experience with Oldsmobile vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1987 Oldsmobile A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and 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.” A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Recharge the A/C in Your Cutlass Cruiser

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass 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 perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Oldsmobile guidelines. 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 all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1987 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. Other common A/C problems include 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 can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. And smelly A/C in a 1987 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Cutlass Cruiser.

Questions About 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser A/C Systems

  • How can I make my Cutlass 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 do I get hot air from my Cutlass Cruiser A/C? 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.
  • How does my A/C system get a 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 Cutlass Cruiser's A/C system.
  • Does my Cutlass Cruiser A/C run on gas? Cutlass 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 Cutlass Cruiser smell like vinegar? If the air conditioning in your Cutlass Cruiser 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 does my vehicle have to be moving for my Cutlass Cruiser’s A/C to work? 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.
