Car Aircon Leak Test Brisbane | Mobile Leak Detection

If your car air conditioning stops cooling soon after a regas, there is a strong chance the system has a leak. Our car aircon leak testing service focuses on finding the source of the problem as accurately as possible.

At Mobile Car Air Conditioning Brisbane, we provide professional mobile leak detection and system diagnostics.

With 39+ years of hands-on automotive air conditioning experience and ARCtick authorisation AU13448, we use appropriate leak-detection and diagnostic methods to help identify where refrigerant is being lost. You can check our ARCtick licence through the official licence checking service.

Why Car Aircon Leak Testing Matters

A car air conditioning system is sealed. If refrigerant has escaped, it means there is a leak somewhere in the system. Common leak points include:

• Compressor seals
• Condenser
• Hoses and pipes
• Service ports
• Evaporator
• O-rings and fittings

Without proper testing, you can end up paying for regas services again and again without solving the actual issue.

Car Aircon Leak Test Cost Brisbane

Our mobile car aircon leak detection service starts from $170.

The final cost can depend on the vehicle and the testing required to identify the source of the leak.

Our car aircon leak test process

Our car aircon leak test Brisbane service focuses on finding the source of the problem as accurately as possible. The testing method used depends on the vehicle, the condition of the system and the suspected location of the leak. Depending on the vehicle and fault, testing may include:

• Visual inspection
• Pressure testing
• Trace gas testing
• UV dye inspection
• Electronic leak detection
• Performance and system checks

Signs your car may have an aircon leak

• Aircon was cold after regas but quickly became warm again
• Cooling gets worse every few weeks or months
• Oily residue around aircon components
• Compressor short cycling
• Pressure readings showing low refrigerant

Stop wasting money on repeat regassing

A regas can restore cooling when the system has the correct refrigerant charge and no significant leak. If refrigerant is escaping, the underlying leak needs to be identified and repaired. Continuing to add refrigerant without finding the leak is only a temporary solution. We focus on proper car air conditioning diagnosis so you know exactly what the issue is and what repair options are available.
