Oldsmobile Regency A/C Repair

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like lava. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. “Who can fix my Oldsmobile Regency A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Oldsmobile vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1998 Oldsmobile Regency A/C systems. Bring your Oldsmobile Regency to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1998 Oldsmobile Regency 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." A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Oldsmobile Regency A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

A/C Recharge for Oldsmobile Regency

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1998 Oldsmobile Regency, 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. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Oldsmobile guidelines. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re all set. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1998 Oldsmobile Regency A/C recharges.

Common Oldsmobile Regency A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Oldsmobile Regency A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. 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. And smelly A/C in a 1998 Oldsmobile Regency? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Regency — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 1998 Oldsmobile Regency A/C Systems

  • How do I make my Regency air conditioning 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.
  • Why do I get hot air from my Regency 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.
  • 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 Regency's A/C system.
  • Does my Regency A/C run on gas? Your Regency’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.
  • My Regency’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? 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 Regency to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why does my Regency’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 Regency may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
