How do I make my Fuego air conditioning 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.

What’s making my Fuego A/C put out warm air?

An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.

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

Does my Fuego A/C run on gas?

Fuego air conditioning systems don’t use gasoline as a direct fuel source. However, they do rely on engine power, which can indirectly affect your vehicle’s gas mileage.

Why does my Fuego have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C?

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 Fuego to have a vinegar-like smell.

What is causing my Fuego’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 Fuego’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

A/C Service for Renault Fuego

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. “Who can fix my Renault Fuego A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We’ve got experience with Renault vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1984 Renault Fuego A/C systems. Steer your Renault Fuego to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1984 Renault Fuego’s A/C system to see if repair work is required. 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." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Renault Fuego A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Fuego A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 1984 Renault Fuego 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). Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Renault guidelines. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1984 Renault Fuego A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Renault Fuego A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Renault Fuego A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. 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. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1984 Renault Fuego? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Fuego — without all the sweat puddles!
