Inspection and service content

What can be checked?

The exact process depends on the vehicle, refrigerant type and the condition of the system.

01

Initial performance

Vent temperature, blower operation and customer-reported symptoms.

02

System controls

Air-conditioning request, climate controls, fans and relevant dashboard indications.

03

Refrigerant identification

The correct gas type and vehicle specification are confirmed before recharge.

04

Pressure observations

System-pressure behaviour is assessed during the service process where equipment permits.

05

Vacuum and recharge

Existing refrigerant is recovered and the system is evacuated and recharged when suitable.

06

Leak indication

Obvious leakage, inability to hold vacuum or poor performance may require further investigation.

07

Temperature confirmation

Cooling performance is checked again after the service.

08

Further recommendations

Electrical, compressor, condenser or leak faults can be quoted separately.

A recharge does not repair a leak

If refrigerant has escaped because of a component or seal fault, the underlying leak must be diagnosed and repaired. A severely empty or non-operational system may require additional investigation before recharge.

Helpful information

Common air-conditioning symptoms

These symptoms help the technician understand how the system is behaving.

Air is not cold

Possible low refrigerant, compressor, electrical, sensor or airflow issue.

Cooling is intermittent

The system may require pressure, sensor, fan or electrical investigation.

Unusual noise

A compressor, pulley, fan or airflow component may require inspection.

Unpleasant smell

The cabin filter, evaporator area or ventilation system may need attention.

Before your appointment

What to tell us

Good symptom information can reduce diagnosis time.

Tell us whether the air is warm, slightly cool or intermittent.
Mention unusual noises when the air conditioning is switched on.
Tell us whether the system has recently been recharged.
Mention previous leak repairs or replacement components.
Enter the correct registration so the system type can be checked.
Remove personal items blocking access to the cabin-filter area.
Service FAQs

Common questions about Air Conditioning

How do I know which refrigerant the vehicle uses?

The team confirms the refrigerant from the vehicle specification and system label. Customers do not need to select a gas type during online booking.

Will a recharge fix every air-conditioning problem?

No. Electrical faults, leaks, compressor faults and airflow problems may require diagnosis and repair.

Why does the price vary?

Refrigerant type, required quantity and the condition of the system affect the service price.

Can you test the system if it does not work at all?

Yes. Book the vehicle and describe the symptoms so the correct initial assessment can be planned.
