frostman83 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Bought my car two and half years ago. It's 2010 and in the two and half years I had it it's not had an aircon service. Not sure the last owner did it so it might never have had one? It doesnt blow as cold but should I still get it serviced to prevent future problems? Got a anti bacterial and recharge for £32!

IINexusII Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 i think its recommended to get it recharged every 2 years, keeps it nice and lubed up, you should also use it at least once a month to keep the thing working and not drying up £32 is very cheap for a clean + regas, i would go for it especially with the heatwave incoming 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenST13 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Nexus is right aircon services are to be done at 24 month intervals. Which should be a full vacuum, 1 hour clean and full regas which takes about 1.5hrs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artscot79 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Strangely enough http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/faq/air-conditioning From the owners handbook It I necessary to keep you're air conditioning functioning correctly and ensure it is in optimum condition therefore a service is recommended 3 years from the date of registration then every 2 years after that it is also necessary to have the cabin filter replaced annually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 took my info from etis , thats what ford garages refer to as thats the most up to date info and is updated daily, autodata also confirms the same interval Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Given theres 2 different systems in use the standard pump which cycles on and off or the vss variable pump which doesn't and runs continuously IDE imagine theres different service recommendations for each even at 3 years the vss pump has plenty of gas left I do the cabin filter myself and an antibac clean as well once a year ford recommend replacing the drier experts dont so like all servicing its up to each person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
