Why Your Car Aircon Might Be Leaking!

If your air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air, you might have a leak in the system. At 1Stop Motor Shop in Newtownabbey, we use UV tracer dye to pinpoint the exact source of aircon leaks — fast, accurate, and cost-effective.

This video shows a clear leak found using our diagnostic dye method. Left untreated, aircon leaks can:

  • Drain your refrigerant

  • Cause the system to seize

  • Lead to costly compressor failure

  • Reduce your driving comfort in hot weather

 

Signs Your Aircon Might Be Leaking

  • Warm air blowing from vents

  • Aircon works briefly then stops

  • Hissing or bubbling sounds

  • Visible oil residue around pipe joints

  • A/C warning light (in some cars)
