Additional information about the service
The air conditioner compressor plays a key role in cooling the air in your vehicle - it compresses the refrigerant and directs it to the evaporator, where the cooling occurs. If the compressor fails, the system stops working, and restoring cool air can only be achieved by replacing this component. We offer a full range of services related to air conditioner compressor replacement to ensure your air conditioner works like new again.
Preparation and Diagnosis
Before starting the work, we always remove the refrigerant from the system to avoid leaks and damage. Then, we disconnect the hoses and remove the tensioner belt from the compressor pulley. We pay special attention to the condition of the pulley - if it is damaged, we replace it along with the compressor. We also check for metal shavings in the system, as this is a sign of serious damage.
Replacement Process
After removing the old compressor, we thoroughly flush the air conditioning system to remove any residual contaminants and metal particles. Simultaneously, we replace the drier filter and expansion valve - these components protect the system and ensure its proper operation. We add special oil to the new compressor, which lubricates the internal parts and extends its lifespan.
Completion and Testing
After installing the new compressor and connecting all hoses, we manually rotate the mechanism several times to evenly distribute the oil inside. Then, we charge the system with fresh refrigerant and turn on the air conditioner to check its operation. Our specialists ensure that the compressor runs smoothly and that the system is leak-free. This approach guarantees long-lasting and reliable performance of the air conditioner after replacement.
