How do I make my 718 Spyder air conditioning 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.

What’s making my 718 Spyder A/C put out warm 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?

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 718 Spyder’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Does the A/C in my 718 Spyder use gas?

Your 718 Spyder’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 718 Spyder’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 718 Spyder to have a vinegar-like smell.

Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my 718 Spyder’s A/C to work?

There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your 718 Spyder may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

A/C Repair Service for Your Porsche 718 Spyder

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 it's burning your hands. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Porsche 718 Spyder?" Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Porsche vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2021 Porsche A/C systems. Bring your Porsche 718 Spyder to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and 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 Porsche 718 Spyder A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Recharge the A/C in Your 718 Spyder

While your 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder’s air conditioner is being serviced, 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 Porsche 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 good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder A/C recharges.

Common Porsche 718 Spyder A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Porsche 718 Spyder A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems include 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. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder? 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. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your 718 Spyder’s A/C!
