Air Conditioning Servicing

Why do I need my air conditioning system checked?

Your Alfa Romeo handbook recommends that your air conditioning should be checked annually for the following reasons.

Firstly, when an air conditioning system is not used for a period of time or left unserviced, the combination of condensation, which is present within the system and the warmth generated from the engine produces the perfect environment for bacteria and fungi to grow. This causes unpleasant odours and can cause sore throats and allergic reactions.

Secondly, over a period of time the refrigerant gas used within the air conditioning system can escape. This can cause the system to be inefficient and increase your cars fuel consumption (due to the systems compressor needing to work harder to compenstate)
