Identifying car air conditioning problems and solutions by experts quickly becomes your highest priority when you are faced with issues related to your air conditioning failure.
This is especially true in today’s world where automotive air conditioning systems have a complex and sophisticated integrated climate control system.
Air conditioning is a vital necessity for drivers of any vehicle – especially in Australia which is one of the harshest environments in the world when it comes to heat and dust. Driving long distances in these conditions adds to the strain on your air conditioning.
Signs that your Air Conditioner needs Repair
1. If it is not cooling as it should – get it inspected.
2. If there is a strange smell such as mildew, fungus or mould. It could be coming from wet or decaying vegetation or a build up of dust or pollen.
3. If the air conditioner is noisy there could be a problem related to the hoses, belts or the component heading for failure. Either way you need to see a professional.

What ever the issue you need a professional with the right equipment to diagnose the likely problem.
Understanding and Diagnosing Air Conditioner Failure
There are a multitude of things that can go wrong with modern day air conditioning systems! Without the set of gauges and sometimes a scan tool diagnosing the problem is impossible.
You can diagnose air conditioner failure by having the right diagnostic equipment and through experience and knowledge and the step by step process of identifying and eliminating likely problems. Many mechanics first port of call is to re-gas your air conditioning system. It is most unlikely that re-gassing is going to fix your problems for long.
This is the starting point:
1. Check the system for loose drive belts or damaged pipe work.
2. Overheating an engine will turn off the air con – this can be true in particular for certain makes and models.
3. Understanding that most of the time re-gassing is not the issue. When the air con is low or out of gas the main issue is to find out why. Some of the likely issues:
-
Debris in front of radiator Blocked evaporator or filters
- Fans not operating
- Engine fault
- Compressor faulty
- Suction control valve faulty
- Heater jammed “ON”
- Many more…
4. Test the complete system with the right diagnostic equipment
5. Check and test each each component within your air conditioning system – be aware all systems are not the same
