williamweb Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Hello all!Ford at the moment has an offer of £49 for an air conditioning service.I've a couple of questions:Do you think this is a good deal?Is it a better to wait and get the system serviced just before summer when it's warmer,what do you think?Thanks.

GMX Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 It does seem a good price @ £49 Air conditioning is not just for the warmer months. It is very useful in keeping condensation and damp out of the vehicle during the damp days of winter - more so if you have a damp panting dog in the back Whilst I've not had mine long, I've noted it takes about 1 minute to clear all the condensation that quickly covers the windows on a rainy day, following a rain sodden walk with the dog. When did you last have yours serviced? On other cars, I have it checked and serviced annually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 As long as this service covers a leak test it appears good value - as it is pointless having a/c re-gassed if a leak is present & of course any leak needs fixing for the a/c to work properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IINexusII Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Does that include a proper clean of the system and a regas/ leak check? if so then its good value, else its not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamweb Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 What do you think,looks fairly basic to me.Thanks. Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 That is not an a/c service - it's a coolant flush & refill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
