Bad Condenser | Automotive Blessings 2 Marietta

What are the signs of a bad Condenser? The biggest and easiest sign is if there is a leak in the Condenser? Once there is a leak in the Condenser the only fix is to have it replaced. The A/C Condenser sits right in front of the Radiator and even looks like a Radiator. It is the first thing you see when you look through the grill of your vehicle. Small rocks and road debris can put small holes in the A/C Condenser and over time will cause the Freon to leak out. If the A/C Condenser gets clogged it can cause a lack of cooling in the cabin of the vehicle. Once an A/C Compressor goes bad the Condenser is the first thing to catch the debris and gets clogged up. Any time that you have a compressor replaced it is a good time to replace the Condenser also. If you notice a lack of cooling call Automotive Blessings 770-575-0400 or go to or web site https://www.automotiveblessings.com/ and book your appointment.

What happens if you don't change power steering fluid?

By automotiveblessings • May 31, 2023

Not changing the power steering fluid in your vehicle can lead to several issues: Contaminated Fluid: Fluid can become contaminated with dirt, and metal particles. They can build up and damage the system, such as the pump, rack and pinion, and seals. Reduced Performance: As the fluid gets older, its lubricating ability is less. This results in more friction and wear within the system. You may experience hard turning, or a whining noise. Component Damage: The pump will have higher temperatures due to dirty fluid. This can lead to wear and failure of the pump. Seals within the system can get hard, causing them to leak.
