Recognise the symptom
A/C running, but not cooling?
The vents are blowing, but the cabin stays warm.
- Air comes through the vents without cooling the cabin
- Turning the temperature down makes little difference
What could be behind it?
Possible causes.
Possible next steps.
These are examples to help explain the symptom. More than one fault can cause similar behaviour.
Refrigerant loss
Leak testing may identify a seal, hose or component needing repair before recharge.
Compressor or control fault
Testing may point to an electrical repair, control valve or compressor work.
Restricted airflow
Inspection may identify a filter, fan or airflow restriction that needs attention.
Inspection confirms what your vehicle needs.
This information is general guidance, not a diagnosis or repair quote. All A/C concerns are subject to inspection and diagnosis. The required work and price can only be confirmed after assessment; none of the repairs listed above is guaranteed to be needed.
A regas does not repair a leak. If a leak is found, we discuss the required repair before recharging the system.
