Air Conditioning Services
Air conditioning – aircon, had become a standard feature in most late model European vehicle and many other imports. While most air conditioning systems supplied by manufacturers like VW, Audi, BMW and Mercedes are not originally manufactured by these car manufacturers, it is important to follow set manufacturers procedures to have the many air conditioning components serviced correctly using genuine or OEM parts as required.
Air conditioning is often forgotten when it comes to service and maintenance, and while many air con systems are very durable, early detection of possible issues, can avoid a more expensive repairs.
The most common failure of your car air-conditioning system relates to drop of the refrigerant due to brittle seals, connectors and other system related connecting hoses and tubes. The drop of optimum cooling operation of your air conditioning system doesn’t always presents itself clearly. The refrigerant volume in your air con system typically drops gradually over a period of few years. Many vehicles can lose as much as 16% of the overall refrigerant volume in any given year, particularly when it comes to vehicles with few years of service - and when the air conditioning compressor is not used regularly throughout winter. Prolonged non-use causes o rings and seals to dry out and essentially create opportunity for the cooling refrigerant to leak out. The gradual deterioration of your air conditioning performance is often not detected.
Air conditioning leak detection service is easy and very cost effective. By injecting safe, ultraviolet die into the cars air con system, we are able to quickly and cost effectively establish any areas of potential concern. Majority of repairs come down to replacement of O rings and other parts which may have become brittle with age. A simple refill or top up of your air conditioning system with appropriate refrigerant is often all that may be required to get your air conditioning system operating within its specified range.
