A/C Service for Plymouth PB150

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Plymouth PB150 A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know our way around Plymouth vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1983 Plymouth A/C systems. Bring your Plymouth PB150 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1983 Plymouth PB150 A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. 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.” What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Plymouth PB150 A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

PB150 A/C Recharge

While your 1983 Plymouth PB150’s air conditioner is being serviced, 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 Plymouth guidelines. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1983 Plymouth PB150 A/C recharges.

Common Plymouth PB150 A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Plymouth PB150 A/C problem you may encounter. Typical A/C problems also include 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 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. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1983 Plymouth PB150? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your PB150.

Frequently Asked Questions for 1983 Plymouth PB150 A/C Systems

  • How can I make my PB150 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 PB150 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.
  • 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 PB150's A/C system.
  • Does my PB150 A/C use gas?  The air conditioning system in your PB150 does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.
  • My PB150’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? 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 PB150 to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • What is causing my PB150’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your PB150 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
