A/C Repair Service for Your Plymouth Scamp

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. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Plymouth Scamp?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with Plymouth vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1983 Plymouth Scamp A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Plymouth Scamp

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1983 Plymouth Scamp 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 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 Plymouth Scamp A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Scamp A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1983 Plymouth Scamp, 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. 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 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 1983 Plymouth Scamp A/C recharges.

Other Plymouth Scamp A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Plymouth Scamp A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Other common A/C problems 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 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. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1983 Plymouth Scamp? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. 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 Scamp — without all the sweat puddles!

1983 Plymouth Scamp A/C System FAQs

  • Can I make my Scamp air conditioner 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 is my Scamp A/C blowing hot air? 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 Scamp's A/C system.
  • Does my Scamp A/C run on gas?  The air conditioning system in your Scamp 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.
  • Why does the A/C in my Scamp 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 Scamp to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why won’t my Scamp’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Scamp is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
