19.01.2022 What types of vehicles does Antarctic Vehicle Air Conditioning service / repair / re-gas etc.? Car air conditioning / Truck air conditioning / Light aircraft / Equipment such as Bob cats, Excavators, Cranes etc , Custom cars / American cars / Imports / Ice pack units .

18.01.2022 Compressor Failure If your car needs a new compressor, it is not as simple as just replacing the compressor and "all is well". Generally, compressors are very reliable and if your air con is serviced correctly then it should last many years.... It is very rare that compressors fail by themselves and failure can usually be traced to any of the following: Prolonged use of the car's air con when it's low on gas - causes oil starvation to the compressor The wrong gas in the system - only R134a is approved Wrong oil in the system Receiver drier (filter) no longer effective Receiver drier collapsed internally, releasing all the desiccant balls into the system Air in the system causing high pressure - will damage the compressor Moisture in the system causing acid and freeze ups - will damage the compressor as well as other parts Faulty pressure switches - not shutting down the compressor when required Inoperative condenser fan - causes high pressure Over-charge of gas - causing high pressure Not replenishing oil when changing a/c parts Not flushing the system to remove contaminants Adding leak repair additives to quick fix leaks Incorrect service procedures Leaks in the system allowing oil and gas out and air and moisture in Too much oil or too little oil Not servicing the system regularly Wrong tension of the compressor drive belt Using compressed air as a flushing propellant - puts moisture into the system Poor vacuuming of the system - leaving moisture in the system This list goes on and on. When replacing a failed compressor there are procedures that must be followed as stated on the new compressor instructions. The whole system must be flushed to remove all contaminants and metal fragments that the failed compressor may have deposited into the system. You may have to replace a condenser that is not leaking due to the fact that contaminates cannot be flushed out. (On newer cars many of these cannot be flushed.) The TX valve must be replaced, and the dash may need to be removed to do this. The receiver drier must be replaced. (A serious case of contamination in a receiver drier is shown in the above image.) And finally, the reason(s) why the compressor failed must be rectified. So, for example, what was a $700 compressor job now becomes a whole lot more. There is no escape from doing the job correctly. Anything short of this is poor workmanship and may come back to bite you and your wallet.

14.01.2022 I am still unable to provide any physical service due to illness but can still answer any question or if you need advice on your air con problems. Just drop me a message or post a question.

05.01.2022 Most common telephone call I receive ! My car / truck s air con is not working I think it needs a re-gas , how much is a regas ? The second part of the enquiry is easy to answer , however the first part is not that simple. ... If it needs a re-gas then what happen to the gas , Has it gone due to a leak. If so then the leak needs to be found and needs to be repaired before a re-gas can be done. There are many reason why your air con may not work from something simple (fuse ) or a major problem ( compressor ) . If nothing is broken or missing then a re-gas is the starting point from which any diagnosing is done . There are occasion when it may be just a re-gas such as the gas was removed to do other work . But even then a leak test must be carried out and depending on how long it has remained empty, problems may arise that were not initially there. How your air con stops working can give me a good idea of narrowing down the cause. Did it suddenly stop working ( working good then nothing ) ? Did it slowly get worse over time ( gradually losing cooling ) ? Does the blower fan still work ( air coming out of vents hot or cold ) ? Any noise when the air con is switch on which disappears when switched off ?

03.01.2022 Antarctic vehicle Air Con has been using Lokring connection for over 15 years with great success . There are many combinations that can be used to repair ac pipes & pipe to hoses. We use Bubble crimping for crimping the hoses which is the same as the original crimp used on the hoses.
