Located in the east of Adana, a certain distance from the provincial centre, Ceyhan is one of Adana's most distinctive districts, with its oil terminal, industrial facilities, fertile farmland and its own town centre. In Ceyhan, drivers cover long distances both within the district and on the connecting roads to central Adana. When high summer temperatures combine with this usage, auto AC systems work under an intense load. At Temel Servis we provide AC gas refill, compressor-condenser repair, leak detection and odor removal to all vehicles in Ceyhan.
Ceyhan is one of Adana's hottest settlements, and high temperatures persist for a long time through the summer. Drivers who leave their car under the sun in the industrial zone or in the open meet cabin temperatures exceeding 60 degrees by the end of the day. Cooling such a cabin quickly keeps the AC compressor at full load for a long time. Also, because short trips within the district and long drives on the Adana connecting road occur together, the system constantly works at different loads. This intensity makes regular AC maintenance especially important in Ceyhan.
An auto AC's cooling depends on the amount and pressure of the gas in the closed loop. Depending on your model, R134a (older and mid-age cars) or R1234yf (newer cars) gas is used. The two cannot be substituted for one another. Before refilling we fully evacuate the existing gas with a vacuum, test whether there is a leak in the system, and then charge the manufacturer's specified amount together with compressor oil using a precision device. In a hot climate even a small gas shortfall markedly weakens cooling, which is why we do the refill based on measurement.
A compressor running at full load for a long time is the part that tires most in Ceyhan's heat. Clutch wear, a bearing noise, or cooling that cuts out as it heats up can be compressor-related. The condenser is exposed to dust, insects and road material in the mixed industry-and-farming areas; its fins clog. At high outside temperatures a clogged condenser cannot cool the gas enough, and cooling weakens badly. Cleaning the fins brings performance back markedly in most cases. We assess both parts with manometer and thermometer readings and do not recommend a part unless it is truly needed.
A musty or damp smell from the AC comes from moisture on the evaporator combining with dust and organic matter to produce bacteria and mold. Ceyhan's agricultural surroundings and dusty air fill the pollen filter quickly; when the filter clogs airflow drops and more dust enters the cabin. We renew the pollen filter and apply disinfectant to the evaporator to clean the odor source. For drivers travelling with windows closed and the AC on in the heat, clean cabin air matters for both comfort and health. For AC and auto-electrical details you can look at our Adana auto AC and auto-electrical page.
If the AC stops cooling again shortly, there is a leak in the system. O-rings, union connections and micro-cracks in the condenser leak gas over time. By introducing UV dye or nitrogen pressure we locate the leak and solve the seepage permanently rather than just adding gas. Since the AC is linked to the auto-electrical system, we also check the fan, relay and pressure sensor. To see your car's general condition you can review our Adana auto service page, and to see which service suits you our Adana service guide page.
Our workshop is in Seyhan's Fevzipaşa neighbourhood, a location you can stop by while coming from Ceyhan to central Adana. Although we are Opel and Chevrolet specialists, we provide AC service for all makes. We know Ceyhan's hot climate and long-drive profile and do the work based on measurement and transparency. For our service in the neighbouring district you can look at our Yüreğir auto AC service page. For an appointment and pricing call 0533 662 01 00. Address: Fevzipaşa Mah. 48057. Sk. No:16/A, 01355 Seyhan/Adana.
Because high temperatures strain the system more, parts can tire faster. That is why having a cooling and leak check once a year in a hot climate keeps the system efficient.
Our workshop is in Seyhan Fevzipaşa and is easy to stop by while coming from Ceyhan to central Adana. If you book an appointment we complete your work without waiting.
When the car is stopped the condenser does not get enough airflow; if there is a fan fault or a clogged condenser, cooling drops badly. We determine the cause with a fan and condenser check.
The AC label under the bonnet shows the gas type and amount. If the label is unreadable we determine it from the model and year; we always check this to avoid charging the wrong gas.
No, the smell is usually not related to gas. Mold and bacteria caused by moisture and dust on the evaporator cause it. Filter replacement and evaporator disinfection remove it.
