How to Maintain Car AC in Pakistan’s Summers
Pakistan’s blistering summers, especially in Multan and Karachi, push car ACs to their limits. Proper maintenance ensures cool, comfortable drives. Here’s how to keep your AC running, with products on Carparts4less.co.uk.
Clean Filters: Dirty filters reduce airflow. Clean cabin filters (PKR 1,500) monthly using a vacuum. Replace yearly via Pakwheels.com.
Check Refrigerant: Low gas causes weak cooling. Recharge with R134a gas (PKR 3,000) at workshops in Lahore. Avoid overfilling to prevent leaks.
Inspect Belts and Hoses: Worn belts (PKR 2,000) or cracked hoses reduce efficiency. Check during oil changes in Islamabad.
Run AC Weekly: Even in winter, run the AC for 10 minutes to prevent compressor damage, common in Faisalabad’s dry climate.
Use Shade: Park in shade or use sunshades (PKR 1,000) from Autostore.pk to reduce AC strain in Hyderabad.
Professional Servicing: Annual servicing (PKR 5,000) at Gomechanic.in includes leak checks and deep cleaning.
