What Are the Signs That an Air Conditioner Needs Refilling?

Generally, for newer car models, manufacturers recommend refilling the air conditioner every two to three years, but for cars older than 10 years, it should be done at least every one to two years.

Signs that it’s time to top up your car’s air conditioner include:

• Reduced cooling capacity;
• Longer air cooling times;
• Blowing warm air from the vents;
• A whistling sound (indicating a leak).

Why Choose a Professional Air Conditioner Refill?

Although there are various online tutorials on how to fill your air conditioner yourself, it’s safer to let certified professionals take care of it. 

Air conditioner refilling is a complex procedure that requires professional equipment and specialist experience to accurately diagnose cooling system problems, identify leaks, and refill the system with the correct type of gas. 

MMK Tyre Centre’s specialists guarantee optimal performance of the air conditioning system, safety, and compliance with environmental regulations.

Why Do I Need a Diagnostic?

A diagnostic is a visual inspection of the car that identifies problems with the air conditioning system, such as leaks and various mechanical faults. The air conditioner’s associated equipment – compressor and fans – is also checked. 

Any leaks and faults found must be repaired before the air conditioner is refilled to ensure safe and efficient operation. MMK technicians are certified in the diagnosis of car air conditioning systems.

How Do I Diagnose and Refill My Air Conditioner?

1. Drain all excess oil, residual gas compounds, and condensate deposits;
2. Check for any leaks by testing the system’s pressure;
3. Remove accumulated moisture and unwanted impurities;
4. Feed the exact amount of refrigerant gas;
5. Top up the oil needed to run the compressor;
6. Add ultraviolet dye into the system, making it easier to identify any future leaks;
7. Perform a system temperature and performance check.

The type and volume of cooling gas are chosen based on the manufacturer’s specifications, particularly for cars produced after 2016.
