Many drivers overlook their car’s air conditioning system until it stops working. However, like any other component of your vehicle, the air conditioning system requires regular maintenance to operate efficiently. Neglecting it can lead to reduced cooling performance, increased fuel consumption and costly repairs.
Why regular air conditioning maintenance matters: Signs your car or 4WD air conditioning needs attention
Wondering if your car or 4WD’s air cooling system needs servicing? Here’s what you need to look out for:
Weak airflow
If the air coming from the vents is weak, there may be a blockage or an issue with the blower.
Insufficient cooling
Warm or lukewarm air could indicate low refrigerant levels or a failing compressor.
Bad smells
Unpleasant odours might suggest mould or bacteria buildup in the system.
Strange noises
Unusual sounds when the air cooling is running could signal a mechanical issue.
Leaks
Moisture or refrigerant leaks around the system are a clear indication of a problem. If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to bring your car to Moorooka Automotive for a thorough inspection.

To keep your air cooling system in top condition, follow these simple tips:
⦁ Run the system regularly: Even during cooler months, run your air conditioning for a few minutes each week to keep components lubricated.
⦁ Replace the cabin filter: Check and replace the cabin filter as recommended in your vehicle’s manual.
