Oldsmobile Cutlass A/C Repair

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. “Who can fix my Oldsmobile Cutlass A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Oldsmobile vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1999 Oldsmobile. Bring your Oldsmobile Cutlass to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass 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 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" is a machine that's run along parts of your Oldsmobile Cutlass A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Cutlass A/C Recharge

While your 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Oldsmobile's recommendations. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, 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 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass A/C recharges.

Common Oldsmobile Cutlass A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Oldsmobile Cutlass A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Another common A/C problem is 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 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Cutlass — without all the sweat puddles!

1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass A/C System FAQs

  • How can I make my Cutlass 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.
  • What’s making my Cutlass 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 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 Cutlass's A/C system.
  •  Does running the A/C in my Cutlass use gasoline? Your Cutlass’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.
  • What can cause the A/C in my Cutlass to 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 Cutlass to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why does my Cutlass’s A/C only work when the car is moving? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Cutlass may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
