A luxury car invariably comes with an AC and it is one of the perks of having a high end car. However, there are times when the AC stops working and this could be due to a variety of reasons. While a serious break down definitely calls for professional help, there are a few things that you should know that can be done to fix your car AC.

Here is how:

Firstly, be acquainted with all the components of your car AC. Identifying the various parts will help you get a clear idea regarding where to look for when you face trouble. Apart from the compressor, there is the refrigerant, the condenser, the evaporator and the receiver. All these parts work in sync to keep your AC working. The first thing that you will notice is that the AC has stopped cooling your car and you need to remove the outer covering. If you find nothing wrong with the compressor, then you can move on to the condenser- this is the area that turns the refrigerant from gas to liquid and also helps in removing the heated air. The condenser might slow down and this can be due to accumulated grime. Clean the condenser and replace the refrigerant if you have to. You can also install a larger fan. You should tighten the fan belt accordingly and restart your AC to see if it is working.

Next, another area to look into while repairing the car’s AC is to check for leaks. The valves connecting the various components within the AC unit and connecting the unit to the rest of the car are numerous and a serious leak in any one of them will cause the pressure to fall. However, to fix most of the valves and wiring, you need to pull the AC apart. If you feel confident enough to do so, then start with checking the exterior valves. You can use a florescent liquid available in most hardware shops to do this. Once you have detected the leak, check if the valve can be dismounted from both ends and whether you will be able to put it back together and reconnect it t the unit. Replace the valve if you have to and connect it securely to the other ends. If you find that the valve is refusing to budge under your efforts, try to seek expert help.
