CARNAMA - Episode 29 - Maintenance of car AC

CARNAMA – Episode 29 – How to maintain car AC !

So u are already tired of the heat outside? And just when u are about to travel I your car, you realise that the AC isn’t cooling enough and you have to roll down your car windows instead.

Well, the problem lies in the fact that many people ignore maintenance of the car A/C. Just filling gas is not sufficient.

Here’s some tips on how to keep your car’s AC running cool all year:

•Check the condition of the air filter as a dirty air filter may clog up the air passages and reduce the coolness of the AC. You can clean the air filter with water and soap. If it is too dirty or damaged, replace with a new one.

•Excess moisture can cause bad smell in your AC system. You can reduce moisture by running the car AC for longer periods or even by switching ON the defroster for about 15 minutes or so.

•Once in a month run the car’s AC on full cold and highest fan speed for 15-20 minutes.

•Timely check for any leakages in the hose pipes.

•Maintain clean evaporator coils. Replace damaged evaporator coils.

•Be gentle when using the car AC switches.

•Finally, do get the AC gas topped up regularly from an authorised outlet.

So go ahead and enjoy your drive in the hot summer with CARNAMA confidence !
