Car air conditioning not cooling? Causes and when to recharge it

30 June 2026

4 min read

By the Pinchazos Vargas team

In short

When air conditioning stops cooling, the usual cause is refrigerant lost through a leak or a fault in one of the system’s components. The right approach is to inspect the system, repair what is needed and then recharge it.

Most common causes

Leaks in the circuit.
Lack of refrigerant gas.
Faults in system components.
Lack of maintenance.

Why a recharge alone isn’t enough

If there is a leak, the gas will be lost again. That is why we first inspect the system to identify the problem, repair it and then recharge it with specialist equipment.

Comfort and safety

Good climate control isn’t just about comfort: driving in excessive heat is more tiring and reduces concentration. At Pinchazos Vargas we inspect, repair and recharge your car’s air conditioning.
