FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Why is My VW Air Conditioning Not Blowing Cold?

The main reasons why your VW’s air conditioning is not blowing cold are:

• Not enough refrigerant. Air con systems lose about 10-20% of this gas per year and cannot work efficiently once they lose too much.
• Old refrigerant gas. Similarly, if you don’t regas your air con system regularly, the refrigerant gas can go bad due to old age. This also makes it ineffective at cooling the air.
• Low system pressure. This is usually caused by a leak or a failed part. This will require a more detailed inspection and repair to fix.
• Lack of use. If you don’t use your air con system regularly, it can suffer as a result of this disuse. Switching it on after a long period of inactivity can place additional strain on certain parts, causing them to fail.

If your VW is suffering from an air conditioning problem, you should book an appointment at a local garage so that a professional technician can inspect the system, recommend a repair and fix the issue.

Can I Regas My Air Con Myself?

While you can regas your car’s air conditioning system yourself, we would strongly advise against it. Without using the specialist equipment and proper training, it can be a time-consuming and dangerous process. You risk freeze burns if the gas comes into contact with your skin and improper maintenance can lead to expensive repairs in the future.

You would be much better off booking an air con regas with a professional local garage than attempting to complete the job yourself.

How Do I Know if My Air Con Needs Regassing?

If your car’s air conditioning system is in need of a recharge, you will notice the following signs:

• A lack of cold air when you switch the system on.
• A noisy or inefficient system that struggles to cool the cabin
• Condensation on the inside of the windscreen
• A musty smell or similar when you use the air conditioning

If you notice any of the above symptoms, you should book an air con regas near you as soon as possible.

What Happens If I Don’t Regas My Aircon?

If you don’t take proper care of your car’s air conditioning system, it will fall into disrepair. Every year, your system loses 10% of the vital refrigerant that cools the air. This means that it will become inefficient quickly if you don’t look after it.

What’s more, if the refrigerant level drops too low, it will stop working altogether. If this happens, you may see problems in the long run as well. Pipes can easily seize and crack if the system isn’t used for long periods of time.

Moreover, failing to service your air conditioning system can allow mould and harmful bacteria to develop and filter into the cabin. These can be harmful if breathed in.

How Long Does an Air Conditioning Recharge Take?

An air conditioning recharge takes about 45 minutes. If the technician finds any issues or other problems, the repair time will increase.

How Long Does an Air Conditioning Service Take?

A full air conditioning service takes around 1 hour. Again, if the technician finds any issues or other problems, the repair time will increase.
