Tesla Model S β A/C & Suspension Overhaul | UKTESLA
This customer originally came to us because the air conditioning was no longer blowing cold. After carrying out a full inspection, we found there was much more going on than just an A/C problem.
βοΈ Air Conditioning System
Both the left and right A/C condensers were found to be leaking refrigerant and required replacement.
Once everything was removed, we also discovered a large build-up of leaves, dirt and debris trapped around the condenser/radiator cooling pack. π
Rather than simply replacing the faulty parts, our team took the time to thoroughly clean the entire cooling pack and remove all trapped debris before installing the new components.
A blocked cooling pack can restrict airflow and reduce heat dissipation, which can affect the efficiency of the A/C and thermal management system.
β
New condensers installed
β
New A/C seals fitted
β
Cooling pack thoroughly cleaned
β
Leaves, dirt & debris removed
β
A/C system recharged
β
Tesla Thermal System Test completed β PASS, no failure detected β
Itβs not just about replacing parts β itβs about doing the job properly.
π© Suspension & Chassis Inspection
We also discovered multiple worn suspension components and ball joints with damaged boots and excessive play, causing several knocking and creaking noises from underneath the vehicle.
β οΈ More importantly, the lower steering U-joint had developed excessive play, causing noticeable free play in the steering wheel and affecting steering response and safety.
After a major overhaul:
β
Suspension components replaced
β
Worn ball joints addressed
β
Lower steering U-joint replaced
β
A/C refrigerant leaks repaired
β
A/C system serviced & tested
β
Full road test completed
The result? A completely different car! π
No more suspension noises, the steering feels tight and precise again, and the car is now smooth, quiet and confidence-inspiring to drive.
And of courseβ¦ βοΈ the A/C is ICE COLD again! π₯Ά
