Air Conditioning

Most vehicle air conditioning systems require regular maintenance every 2 years or at 24,000 mile intervals (maximum).  The vast majority of car servicing schedules do not include the air conditioning system.

A typical air-con service comprises the following stages:

  1. Check:
    • Cabin tempeture at Air vents
    • Quanity of Gas in the system
    • Pressure in the System
    • Drive Belt tension and condition
    • Condition of hoses and fittings
  2. Recharge of the Refrigerant
  3. Microbiologically clean the system
  4. Replace:
    • Cabin / Pollen Filter
    • Reciver Drier
