What are the reasons for the air conditioning not cooling in the Lynk & Co 01?

The main reason for the air conditioning not cooling in the Lynk & Co 01 is a dirty condenser. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Dirty condenser: The condenser is a part of the car's air conditioning system, with its main function being heat dissipation. If the driving environment is poor, excessive dust accumulation can lead to poor heat dissipation performance, resulting in reduced air conditioning cooling efficiency. 2. Long-term non-replacement of the filter: The car's air conditioning filter acts as a 'filter barrier' for outside air entering the car. If the air conditioning filter is covered with dust, the airflow from the air conditioning will decrease, and consequently, the cooling effect will be reduced, affecting the car's cooling performance. 3. Lack of refrigerant: Insufficient refrigerant is also a significant reason for the air conditioning not cooling. Without enough refrigerant, the car's air conditioning cannot cool. This lack of refrigerant is generally not easy to occur unless the car has suffered an impact leading to leakage.

I think the issue of the Lynk & Co 01 air conditioning not cooling is quite common, and I've experienced it myself. While driving, I was sweating from the heat, and after checking, I found it might be due to refrigerant leakage or a faulty compressor. Also, when the air filter is clogged, the airflow decreases. I tried a DIY check on the filter, which is located under the passenger seat, took it out and rinsed it with water, but there was no improvement. Later, I went to a professional repair shop, and they told me that aging wires caused the control board to malfunction. Replacing it solved the problem. I recommend testing the air conditioning before hot weather arrives. If you find any issues, don't delay fixing them to avoid discomfort and distraction on the road—safety first. A little tip is to listen to the compressor's sound; if it makes a clicking noise, it might be faulty—don't ignore it.

When repairing cars, I often encounter such situations. There are usually several reasons why the Lynk & Co 01 air conditioning doesn't cool. Insufficient refrigerant is the most common, possibly due to minor leaks in the pipes; compressor failure if it runs weakly or makes obvious abnormal noises; poor heat dissipation from the fan or condenser can cause the front of the car to overheat; a clogged filter can reduce airflow but not cooling; and there are also cases where the fuse is blown or the switch malfunctions. My usual inspection steps: first check if the fan is running, replace the filter, and if it still doesn't work, test the refrigerant pressure. Those who don't understand shouldn't randomly dismantle electrical components, as it's easy to damage more parts. It's recommended to regularly clean the condenser fins to prevent clogging, extend lifespan, and reduce sudden issues. Driving in hot weather with a malfunctioning air conditioner is truly dangerous, as it can easily cause distraction and lead to accidents, so repairs must be done promptly.

My car once had an air conditioning failure, probably due to similar issues. Refrigerant leakage, compressor wear, or fan stoppage can all lead to no cooling. Another key factor is a dirty air filter blocking the vents—try cleaning it yourself, it's quite simple. Loose wire connections are also common; just pop the hood and take a look. If the compressor sounds abnormal or the air isn't cool enough, it's best to get it checked at a 4S shop. Don't forget to check the settings—make sure ECO mode isn't mistakenly reducing cooling. A reminder to everyone: regular maintenance can save you from costly repairs and unexpected breakdowns.
