Car Air Con Not Blowing Cold? Here’s What Might Be Wrong

Car Air Con Not Blowing Cold? Here’s What Might Be Wrong

Is your car’s air conditioning no longer keeping you cool? If your air con is blowing warm air or not working at all, it could be due to a simple issue – or a more serious fault. At MC Motors in Ashford, we offer fast, affordable air con diagnostics and regas services to restore your comfort.

Why Is My Car Air Conditioning Not Working?

There are a number of reasons why your air con might not be blowing cold air:

  • Low refrigerant gas – The most common cause. Over time, the gas in your air con system escapes through seals and pipework. A regas restores pressure and cooling power.
  • Faulty compressor – If the compressor fails, the system can’t circulate refrigerant properly, leading to no cold air.
  • Blocked cabin filter or condenser – Dust and debris can block airflow, reducing cooling performance.
  • Leaks in the system – Even a small refrigerant leak can make the system ineffective. We can pressure-test to find the fault.
  • Electrical faults or sensor issues – Faulty pressure switches or broken wires can prevent the system from activating.

How Often Should I Get an Air Con Regas?

Most car manufacturers recommend an air con regas every 2 years. If you’ve noticed the air isn’t as cold as it used to be, or it’s stopped working altogether, your system probably just needs a top-up.

Signs You Need an Air Con Service

  • Warm or inconsistent air from the vents
  • Strange smells when the air con is on
  • Windows taking longer to clear
  • The air con makes noise but doesn’t cool
  • System fails to turn on at all
