This Toyota Prado needed car air conditioning in Kingsley after the system started losing its cooling performance. CMM Automotive attended the vehicle in Kingsley to diagnose the problem.

We inspected the air conditioning system and carried out leak testing. Our testing traced the refrigerant loss to a leaking air conditioning condenser.

The condenser sits at the front of the vehicle and plays an important role in the air conditioning system. Its location also exposes it to dirt, stones, insects and other road debris. Over time, damage or corrosion can cause the condenser to develop a refrigerant leak.

Finding the leak allowed us to identify the correct repair before carrying out an aircon regas.

Leaking Air Conditioning Condenser

The condenser helps remove heat from the high-pressure refrigerant after it leaves the compressor. Air flowing through the condenser helps cool the refrigerant before it continues through the system.

A leaking condenser allows refrigerant to escape. As the refrigerant level falls, the air conditioner can gradually lose its ability to cool the cabin.

On this Toyota Prado, our testing confirmed that the condenser was the source of the refrigerant leak. We could then recommend the correct repair instead of simply adding more refrigerant.

Repairing the source of a leak first can help prevent repeated regassing and refrigerant loss.

Mobile Car Air Conditioning Perth

CMM Automotive provides mobile car air conditioning Perth diagnosis and repairs throughout Kingsley and surrounding suburbs.

We diagnose condenser leaks, compressor problems, leaking hoses, TX valve faults and many other air conditioning issues. We also test system pressures and cooling performance at the vehicle’s location.

If your vehicle’s air conditioner gradually stops cooling, a refrigerant leak may be the cause. Proper testing can locate the leak and identify the repair needed to restore reliable cooling.
