As the summer heat intensifies, there’s nothing worse than realising your vehicle’s air conditioning isn’t working properly. When it comes to staying cool on the Sunshine Coast, your car’s AC is your best ally. However, like any other component, it requires regular maintenance to ensure it functions optimally. At Sunshine Coast European Vehicle Centre, we understand the importance of a reliable air conditioning system, and we’re here to help you beat the heat this summer.

Signs Your Vehicle’s Air Conditioning Needs Servicing:

1. Reduced Cooling Performance: If you’ve noticed that your AC isn’t cooling your car as effectively as it used to, it’s a clear sign that something might be amiss. Reduced cooling performance can be caused by low refrigerant levels, a malfunctioning compressor, or a clogged condenser.
2. Unpleasant Odours: A foul smell emanating from your vents is not only unpleasant but also a potential sign of mould or bacterial growth within the AC system. Regular servicing can help eliminate these odours and ensure the air you’re breathing inside your car is clean and fresh.
3. Strange Noises: Any unusual sounds, such as rattling or hissing, when you turn on the AC could indicate a problem with the compressor or other components. Ignoring these noises may lead to more significant issues and costly repairs down the road.
4. Leaking Refrigerant: If you notice puddles of water or a sweet-smelling liquid under your car, it could be a refrigerant leak. Refrigerant is crucial for the proper functioning of your AC, and a leak can result in reduced cooling efficiency and potential damage to the entire system.

What’s Involved in Car Air Conditioning Servicing

At Sunshine Coast European Vehicle Centre, our expert mechanics follow a comprehensive process to ensure your vehicle’s air conditioning system is in excellent working condition:

3. Component Lubrication: Proper lubrication of moving parts ensures smooth operation and extends the lifespan of your AC system.
4. Filter Replacement: We replace the cabin air filter to improve air quality inside your vehicle and prevent contaminants from entering the AC system.
5. Performance Test: A final performance test ensures that your air conditioning system is operating at its best, providing you with reliable and efficient cooling.
