A/C Service for Plymouth Reliant

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Plymouth Reliant?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Plymouth vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1988 Plymouth A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Plymouth Reliant

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1988 Plymouth Reliant’s A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. 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" is a machine that's run along parts of your Plymouth Reliant A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

A/C Recharge for Plymouth Reliant

Let's say we repair your 1988 Plymouth Reliant A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Next, they will evacuate the system according to Plymouth's recommendations. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you're ready to get back on the road. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1988 Plymouth Reliant A/C recharges.

Common Plymouth Reliant A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Plymouth Reliant A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might 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. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. And smelly A/C in a 1988 Plymouth Reliant? 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 Reliant — without all the sweat puddles!

Questions About 1988 Plymouth Reliant A/C Systems

  • How do I make my Reliant 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 is my Reliant A/C blowing hot air? If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak? 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 Reliant’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Is my Reliant A/C powered by gas?  The air conditioning system in your Reliant 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.
  • What does it mean if the A/C in my Reliant smells like vinegar? 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 Reliant to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Reliant’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 Reliant is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
