A/C Service for Oldsmobile Firenza

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Oldsmobile Firenza A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Oldsmobile vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1986 Oldsmobile Firenza A/C systems. Steer your Oldsmobile Firenza to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1986 Oldsmobile Firenza’s A/C system to see if repair work is required. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Oldsmobile Firenza A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Recharge the A/C in Your Firenza

While your 1986 Oldsmobile Firenza’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. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1986 Oldsmobile Firenza A/C recharges.

Common Oldsmobile Firenza A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Oldsmobile Firenza A/C problem you may 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 can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. And smelly A/C in a 1986 Oldsmobile Firenza? 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. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Firenza — without all the sweat puddles!

1986 Oldsmobile Firenza A/C System FAQs

  • How do I make my Firenza air conditioning colder? Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • Why do I get hot air from my Firenza A/C? 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 causes A/C system leaks? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Firenza’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Is my Firenza A/C powered by gas? Your Firenza’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 Firenza 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 Firenza to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why does my Firenza’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 Firenza’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
