Common Car Air Conditioning Problems

At SDM Cars in Falkirk, we understand the importance of a fully functional car air conditioning system. It's not just about keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter; your aircon also helps defog your windscreen, ensuring a clear view for safe driving. Here are some common car aircon problems you might encounter

No Air Being Blown from the Vents

When no air is coming from the vents, the issue could be due to low pressure causing the system to shut off. Alternatively, an electrical fault might prevent the system from activating. A technician can diagnose the problem, whether it's a blown fuse or a faulty motor, and get your aircon back up and running.

No Cold Air Coming from the Aircon

If your car’s air conditioning isn't blowing cold air, it’s often due to a refrigerant issue. Refrigerant absorbs heat and cools the air from the vents. Over time, its pressure can drop, making it less effective. An aircon regas is typically the solution to restore its cooling efficiency.

Unpleasant Smells from the Aircon

A foul smell from your aircon, such as mildew, suggests bacterial growth in the system. A professional cleaning will remove bacteria and eliminate the odour.
