The air conditioning pump is an important part of the car's cooling system. The air conditioning pump is also called the air conditioning compressor because this part pumps the air conditioning gas around. The refrigerant from the air conditioning is pressed into air conditioning gas by the compressor. This air conditioning gas is then pumped around and provides the cool air in the car when the air conditioning is on. The air conditioning pump consists of all kinds of moving parts. These parts must be lubricated to maintain life and function. For this reason, the refrigerant contains oil, which lubricates the components of the compressor. When the air conditioner is used a lot, the refrigerant will have to be topped up over time. Without this refrigerant you run the risk of premature failure of the air conditioning pump. In addition, the air conditioning in the car will not be able to blow cold air without this refrigerant.
Air conditioning compressor broken
The air conditioning pump can break because the parts are not sufficiently lubricated. You can recognize a defect in the air conditioning compressor by a number of symptoms. The first symptom is the air conditioning not working properly. Is there no cold air coming out of the air conditioner? Then the coolant may need to be topped up. If this does not solve the problem, there is a good chance that the air conditioning compressor is broken. Another symptom of a broken A/C pump is that the part makes a squeaking or rattling noise when the A/C is turned on in the car. This noise can occur when a part of the compressor has broken.
Replace air conditioning compressor
It is not possible to repair an air conditioning pump, so it will always have to be replaced. A defective compressor can, in addition to being very annoying, also cause unsafe situations. Driving in a hot car for a long time can cause fatigue and loss of concentration. Therefore, make sure that you replace the air conditioning pump in time so that you can continue to drive pleasantly and safely! Replacing the air conditioning compressor is a time-consuming job. With a little technical insight, you can assemble the new compressor yourself. Would you rather outsource the job to an expert? Buy your parts cheaply at Winparts and save costs at the garage!
