A breath of fresh air
Over time, all air conditioners develop trapped condensation and moisture between the evaporator fins. Dirt, pollen and dust then gathers on the moist fins, leading to bacteria and fungi flourishing in this environment. These particles are then passed into the vehicle interior and can cause unpleasant musty smells, but also lead to the irritation of eyes, throat and bronchial tubes, or infections and allergic reactions.

For optimum performance, your vehicle’s air conditioning system needs to be serviced every year. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Service dealers have the equipment and know-how to ensure that your air conditioning system offers a pleasant environment every time it’s turned-on. By treating your Volkswagen to a fixed-price air conditioning service, you’ll ensure that you and your passengers will travel in comfort – whatever the weather is doing outside your van.

The air conditioning service includes two processes:
1. Cleaning, disinfection of your evaporator and replacement of the pollen filter. This is where micro-organisms and bacteria like to breed. They enter the cabin through the vents and cause unpleasant and allergic reactions. Replacing the pollen filter is particularly important as it filters pollen, dust, dirt and other impurities.
2. The air conditioner system is checked for performance and leakage. Natural evaporation of the refrigerant and the possibility of moisture and dirt entering the system through porous seals, or stones being deflected up from the road, will have a detrimental effect on the system. If moisture and dirt is not purged from the system regularly, it can lead to a total failure of the system and compressor, resulting in an unexpected and expensive repair bill.
