Cooling Stops
The air con works briefly, then stops cooling properly.
Cooling Drops Again
Cooling returns after a regas but the system loses performance again.
Unusual Noise
Unusual noises, cycling or compressor-related sounds may indicate a fault.

Common reasons your air con stops cooling
Air conditioning faults can have several causes. The correct repair depends on the symptoms and what is found during the checks.
Common faults include:
- Refrigerant leak — cooling returns briefly then fades
- Condenser damage — stone impact or corrosion can reduce efficiency
- Compressor issues — poor cooling with unusual noise or cycling
- Electrical faults — sensors, switches, fans or control issues
Other faults we can investigate:
- Blocked airflow — cabin filter or airflow restrictions
- System contamination — moisture or refrigerant-related performance issues
- Leak-related symptoms — hissing or oily residue around components
- Control or component faults — further diagnosis may be required
