Common AC Problems in European Cars

  1. Compressor Failures – Air conditioner damages might involve an array of symptoms: hot air blowing, slow cooling, short cycling, no air blowing, and so forth. If your AC emits lots of noise and warm air, then you may have a compressor issue. This may also produce constant cycling, which ultimately wears out your AC components, and consumes refrigerant faster.
  2. Refrigerant Leaks – Speaking of refrigerants, this may not always be the top priority among European car manufacturers. That’s because they enjoy a significantly cooler climate than what we endure in Spring, Texas. At any rate, you’ll want to check the refrigerant level if your vehicle’s AC isn’t cooperating. Also, since European models have a different AC design, it’s imperative that you bring those cars to us rather than ordinary automotive centers.
  3. Condenser Leaks – The condenser serves an important purpose: to convert high-pressure refrigerant gas into liquid form. What happens if there’s a leak? Then, this function won’t run smoothly, and you’ll lose refrigerant all the while.
  4. Malfunctioning Cooler Fans – If a cooler fan malfunctions, then you could have a problem with its controlling unit. Of course, this is a typical calamity for any model, often brought about by worn components or excessive dirt or corrosion around the control connection.
