A/C Service for Pontiac Phoenix

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. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. “Who can fix my Pontiac Phoenix A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Pontiac vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1983 Pontiac Phoenix A/C systems. Steer your Pontiac Phoenix to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1983 Pontiac Phoenix’s 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.” A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Pontiac Phoenix A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

A/C Recharge for Pontiac Phoenix

Let's say we repair your 1983 Pontiac Phoenix A/C system. We will also perform 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 Pontiac 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. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1983 Pontiac Phoenix A/C recharges.

Other Pontiac Phoenix A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Pontiac Phoenix A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might 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 may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1983 Pontiac Phoenix? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Phoenix’s A/C!

Frequently Asked Questions for 1983 Pontiac Phoenix A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Phoenix 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 Phoenix 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 Phoenix’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my Phoenix A/C run on gas? Your Phoenix’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.
  • Why does the A/C in my Phoenix smell like vinegar? If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your Phoenix creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • What is causing my Phoenix’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Phoenix’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
