This Suzuki needed car air conditioning in Cannington after the system stopped cooling correctly. CMM Automotive attended the vehicle at the customer’s location to diagnose the fault.

We inspected the air conditioning system and carried out several tests. During the vacuum test, we found that the system would not hold vacuum correctly. This indicated a leak somewhere within the air conditioning system.

Further testing traced the leak to the air conditioning compressor. The compressor could not maintain the required vacuum, confirming that it had developed a leak.

Finding this fault was important before attempting to regas the system.

Air Conditioning Compressor Leak

The compressor plays a major role in circulating refrigerant through a vehicle’s air conditioning system. A leaking compressor can allow refrigerant to escape and eventually cause the air conditioner to stop cooling.

Vacuum testing can help identify whether an air conditioning system has a leak before adding refrigerant. If the system loses vacuum, we need to locate the cause before continuing with the service.

On this Suzuki, our testing identified the compressor as the source of the problem. This allowed us to recommend the correct repair instead of simply regassing a leaking system.
