How can I make my LS2 air conditioner 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.

Why is my LS2 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?

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 LS2’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 LS2 use gas?

The air conditioning system in your LS2 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.

My LS2’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 LS2 to have a vinegar-like smell.

What is causing my LS2’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?

A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your LS2 is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.

Saturn LS2 A/C Repair

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. “Who can fix my Saturn LS2 A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Saturn vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2000 Saturn LS2 A/C systems. Bring your Saturn LS2 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2000 Saturn LS2 A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. 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” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Saturn LS2 A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

A/C Recharge for Saturn LS2

Let's say we repair your 2000 Saturn LS2 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). Next, they will evacuate the system according to Saturn's recommendations. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2000 Saturn LS2 A/C recharges.

Common Saturn LS2 A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Saturn LS2 A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Typical A/C problems also 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 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 2000 Saturn LS2? 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. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your LS2’s A/C!
