If the air conditioning is not cold, simply adding refrigerant is not always the right repair. The system should be assessed for charge level, leaks, compressor operation, pressure behaviour and control faults.
Refrigerant handling requires the correct equipment and procedure. Depending on the vehicle, climate-control electronics and variable compressor control can also be part of the diagnosis.
Common reasons to book
- Air conditioning not cold
- Cooling fades in traffic
