A/C Service for Saab 9000

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. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Saab 9000?" Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Saab vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1987 Saab. Bring your Saab 9000 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1987 Saab 9000’s A/C system to see if repair work is required. 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." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Saab 9000 A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

9000 A/C Recharge

While your 1987 Saab 9000’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 use Saab’s specifications to evacuate the system. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re all set. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1987 Saab 9000 A/C recharges.

Common Saab 9000 A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Saab 9000 A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. 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 suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. And smelly A/C in a 1987 Saab 9000? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your 9000.

Questions About 1987 Saab 9000 A/C Systems

  • How can I make my 9000 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 do I get hot air from my 9000 A/C? 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 9000’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my 9000 A/C run on gas? While your vehicle’s A/C system doesn’t directly use fuel, it does draw power from the engine, which can impact the fuel consumption of your 9000.
  • Why does my 9000 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 9000 to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • What is causing my 9000’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your 9000 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
