Diagnostics and repair of the car air-conditioner

Diagnostics and repair of the car air-conditioner

The VAG Master network of service centers provides the full range of diagnostics and repair services for automotive air-conditioners. Why does a car need climate control? It cools the air, removes unpleasant odors from the cabin, absorbs moisture. Because of an A/C malfunction the engine can overheat, fuel consumption rises, and condensate builds up.

    When should you visit a service center to repair the car A/C

    1. if oil spots appear on the compressor surface

    2. unusual noise

    3. the A/C runs at reduced power or cannot be turned on at all

    4. the A/C has begun shutting off frequently and unexpectedly

    5. condensation accumulates in the cabin after climate control is turned on

    6. the compressor runs continuously

    7. musty, moldy odor

    8. insufficient refrigerant

    9. a component of the A/C unit is faulty

    10. icing of hoses, climate-system pipes or the filter

    The car air-conditioner has failed—what is the cause?

    The car air-conditioner has failed—what is the cause?

    1 dust collecting on the external radiator

    2 contamination of the evaporator by deposits and debris

    3 hoses rubbing against each other because of under-bonnet vibrations

    4 oxidation of electrical components

    5 late diagnostics that increase oil consumption so the compressor quickly fails from oil starvation

    6 shortage of refrigerant because the vehicle was not taken to a workshop in time

    Which A/C parts require repair:

    • Compressor
    • Condenser
    • Receiver-drier Evaporator

    How we perform diagnostics and repair of car air-conditioners at the modern VAG Master service station

    Any A/C repair starts with checking for refrigerant leaks. We inspect all hoses, the compressor and other system parts, and measure pressure. If we record zero pressure, we connect nitrogen and evaluate how the system responds to pressure levels.

     

    1.Restoring A/C tightness

    We begin by eliminating leaks. Small cracks in metal pipes are repaired with argon welding. If cracks are large or numerous, or if vibration has thinned the pipe walls, the A/C pipes must be replaced. We fit new rubber O-rings and recommend installing a new filter-drier at the same time.

    Loss of tightness is the most common problem

    Causes:

    • cracks appear in the metal pipes of the circuit
    • rubber seals can dry out
    • threaded joints work loose

    The next step is to charge the car A/C with refrigerant

    Once tightness has been restored to withstand high pressure, we fill the system with refrigerant. Before that we carry out vacuuming to remove moisture. If this step is skipped, all parts containing metal will oxidize, shortening their service life.

     

    We always add the correct amount of oil to the refrigerant because the compressor relies on the circulating mixture.

     

    2.Cleaning the evaporator and condenser

     

    If dust collects on the inner plates of the evaporator it causes unpleasant odors. Over time microbes and even mold can appear in the cabin. In that case we remove the trim, take out the evaporator and clean its exterior with various disinfectant solutions.

     

    The external condenser can also lose heat-transfer efficiency when clogged. The inside of the fins can become coated, reducing refrigerant circulation. A complete internal and external cleaning of the condenser solves this problem.

     

    3.Compressor repair

     

    4.Diagnostics of the A/C electronic system

    This procedure is part of the comprehensive computer diagnostics. We monitor the sensors and check their serviceability

    Contact the specialists at our VAG Master service center in Kyiv—we will run full diagnostics, carefully inspect every part and carry out the repair.

    How to extend an air-conditioner’s service life

    1. clean the A/C condenser of dust and dirt

    2. charge only with the correct refrigerant

    3. avoid overheating the body

    4. periodically inspect the A/C for oil stains, dirt and mechanical damage

    The air conditioner stopped cooling properly, I went for diagnostics. The technicians quickly found the cause, repaired the system, and checked the operation after the repair. Now the cabin is cool even in the heat.

    II had my car air conditioner diagnosed and repaired — the service was at a high level. Everything was explained in simple language, the work was coordinated and completed on time. The air conditioner works quietly and efficiently.

    I came in with a problem of extraneous noise and weak cooling. They checked it, fixed the problem, and refilled the system. The result is excellent — the air conditioner works like new.
