Frequently Asked Questions
If those blasts of chilled air aren’t quite hitting the spot anymore and it takes longer to reach the desired temperature, the culprit could be a lack of refrigerant, a clogged expansion tube, a broken compressor, a damaged condenser, or a faulty fuse or switch. However, the most common air conditioning problem is a lack of gas. Generally speaking, your vehicle’s AC should be re-gassed every two years.
Moisture is a critical sign that you need urgent air-con service or repair. If AC water is leaking in your car (e.g., coming from a vent or leaving a wet patch in the passenger footwell), don’t wait. Water can cause further damage elsewhere, so it’s best to get it checked before more extensive repairs are required. Sometimes, there may also be a fault with your overall cooling system. In this case, it is also best to get your car radiator serviced.
The last thing you want is to smell odd odours emanating from your car. Odours or AC leaks from your vehicle can be attributed to a multitude of things, one of them being an air conditioning unit in need of repair. If your car’s AC smells unpleasant, it might signal that the air filter or wiring is worn and needs replacing.
Regular servicing of your car’s air conditioning system is recommended every 1-2 years, or as per the manufacturer’s guidelines. This helps ensure optimal performance and prevents potential issues that can arise from a lack of maintenance. Luckily, under Australian Consumer Law, auto air conditioning servicing can be carried out by any appropriately qualified mechanic – meaning Cox Auto is your go-to for high-quality AC maintenance.
