AC-Maintenance

Air conditioning increases driving comfort and thus also improves safety. Suitable temperature and humidity in the car help the driver maintain alertness and concentration.

All air conditioning systems lose refrigerant over time, which reduces cooling efficiency. A typical refrigerant loss in an air conditioning system is 10% per year, so air conditioning system maintenance should be done every two years.

Refrigerant inspection is usually not included in regular maintenance, so it’s worth checking its condition separately or scheduling air conditioning maintenance as needed.

Air conditioning refill service costs 69 €. The added refrigerant is charged separately.

Air Conditioning System Refill Service

We carefully remove the remnants of the old refrigerant before adding new. The procedure takes about 45 minutes, so it can be conveniently done while you wait.

We use a special device for the replacement that utilizes both high-pressure and low-pressure ports. This allows the entire system to be thoroughly cleaned before filling with new refrigerant.

Because refrigerant is harmful to the environment and potentially to health, air conditioning maintenance is subject to licensing. AutoSky Bosch Car Service operates as an officially approved provider, and the work is carried out by trained and qualified professionals.

Air Conditioning and Fuel Consumption - What Every Driver should Know

Saving fuel is usually a hot topic of discussion. It’s clear that continuous use of the system – especially in mild weather – increases consumption

However, completely turning off the air conditioning during winter months is not recommended. Long periods of disuse can dry out seals, which can lead to refrigerant leaks and expensive repairs. Regular use even in winter circulates the refrigerant and keeps the system in good condition.

Annual air conditioning maintenance is one way to save fuel and maintain system efficiency. When there’s too little refrigerant, the air conditioning has to work constantly at high power, which increases consumption. A refill service once a year ensures that the system operates optimally – efficiently and economically.

Did You Know?

  • If the windows start to fog up, it’s a sign that the air conditioning system needs maintenance. Depending on weather conditions, fogging may occur for a moment after starting the car. This is still normal
  • When the air conditioning is running and it produces a stuffy and/or damp-feeling odor, it indicates that something is wrong.
  • If the unit doesn’t cool even when set to the coldest setting, something is clearly wrong.
