Does a 6-year-old car need refrigerant replacement?
1 Answers
Generally not needed. There is no fixed time cycle for refrigerant (commonly known as "snow seed" in Chinese) replenishment or replacement in principle. Whether replacement or replenishment is required mainly depends on the air conditioning cooling performance. Here are extended details: Conditions for refrigerant replacement: The simplest way to evaluate cooling performance is to measure the air outlet temperature, which may vary slightly among different vehicle models. After excluding factors like heat dissipation issues or refrigerant leakage, refrigerant replacement can be considered. Additionally, after performing maintenance or replacing components in the air conditioning system, refrigerant replacement may be conducted to ensure optimal cooling performance.
