Keep your air con working all year round

Air conditioning systems naturally lose about 15% of the system gas over a year, and if left unchecked, this can seriously affect the efficiency of the air con system. We always recommend that you continue to use the air con over the winter (at least once or twice per week) as this will help to prevent the system from ceasing. If the air con system starts to lose charge, over a period of time this will cause the system to work harder, and will use more fuel to attain the same level of performance. If it is not working at all, we recommend that repair is undertaken as soon as possible to avoid absorption of moisture and damage to the compressor and other parts of the system. Servicing of air conditioning and anti-bacterial treatments are recommended every 2-3 years.

Air Conditioning services include re-gassing, servicing, fault-finding, leak detection, and system cleaning.

Steering Mechanisms

It is important to keep your steering components in good condition, but it is often difficult to access the steering mechanisms but we have specialist tools which give us the access we require to identify any problems and resolve them in accordance with manufacturerà³°ecifications.

Steering problems that VW Autos in Fleet can help with include tracking checks and adjustment, noisy or worn wheel bearings, leaking or weak shock absorbers, driveshaft and CV joint knocking or worn, steering rack/track rod ends/column cracked, ceased wheels.

Worn-out Suspension Parts

If you have a problem with your car suspension, it may be causing excessive bouncing or swaying movements, it may not sit level and it may not handle well on the road. Over time, suspension springs and shock absorbers wear out. This is generally a gradual decline so you may not notice it until it is close to breaking or does break. Repairing your suspension can give your car a new lease of life. It will feel more stable during sudden turns and will give a much smoother ride. Suspension repairs include leaking or weak shock absorbers, broken or weak coil springs, noisy or failed suspension bushes, worn or knocking ball joints or gator damage.

VW Autos in Fleet offers free tyre checks to check that your tyre tread is within the legal limit of 1.6mm. Replacement tyres can be supplied and fitted and we also offer tracking and 4 wheel alignment, wheel balancing and puncture repairs.
