Workshops need to be somewhat more proactive and make sure the maintenance of the system is on their ‘to do’ list

AVA’s Clever Fit Concept helps workshops make the Clever Choice for the AC season

AVA, part of the Nissens Group, is a thermal management specialist with a difference, offering ‘The Clever Choice’ in the automotive aftermarket with a well balanced mix of competitive pricing, good quality, optimised range and flexible logistics solutions.

Optimised Product Range

While others aim to expand their product range with numerous references, AVA distinguishes itself by prioritising actively moving references. It doesn’t just fill shelves, it optimises the car parc coverage, ensuring that every product counts, to provide a fine-tuned selection of references that boosts sales, without overloading inventory.

However, this emphasis on optimisation doesn’t compromise the level of quality AVA provides, because quality is paramount for both its customers and its reputation. As a result, every product undergoes rigorous development and testing to ensure it meets the company’s strict standards, and installation is smooth and hassle-free, thanks to the superior finish all the products in the range receive.

AVA’s AC range comprises more than 3,180 references, which correspond to 16,600 plus original equipment (OE) part numbers, precisely reflecting the applications in use and maximising sales potential for its customers.

Oil & Gas Finder

As ‘The Clever Choice,’ AVA is dedicated to make business life easier. Recognising the importance of the correct AC system filling to ensure optimum performance and safety, it introduced the AVA Oil and Gas Finder. This tool simplifies the identification of the appropriate refrigerant and lubricant types and quantity for specific requirements, eliminating the guesswork to achieve peak performance and safety.

Clever Fit Concept

Alongside its optimised range, AVA recognises that workshops need solutions that provide them with quality, convenience, and reliability, which is why it is committed to making their lives easier by ensuring seamless and hassle-free product installation.

With this goal at the forefront, AVA has now developed the Clever Fit Concept, a product range designed for top performance, ease of installation, and maximum efficiency, and which helps workshops to make the Clever Choice for the AC work they undertake.

Perfect Fit, Every Time
With more than 570 products already added to the Clever Fit Concept and more on the way, every AVA product undergoes strict fitment checks to ensure a seamless fit, in a wide range of vehicles.

Time is valuable in the workshop, which is why the products within AVA’s Clever Fit Concept come with everything that’s required for a quick, hassle-free installation – O-rings, clips, and washers – all neatly packaged in the box. That also means no extra calls to the factor or hunting down missing parts because everything that’s needed is right there, ready for use.

Key Benefits in the Workshop:

  • Faster Turnaround: Save time on installations and get vehicles back on the road quickly
  • Reliable Performance: Products are tested for optimal fit and long-term durability
  • All-in-One Convenience: Each Clever Fit Concept kit includes everything that’s needed, eliminating extra trips for parts

AC Compressor Top Tips

The compressor is known as the ‘heart’ of the AC system because it is the vital component in the AC cycle. It is fundamentally a pump that puts the refrigerant and oil mixture under high pressure before it flows into the condenser, where it changes from a gas into a liquid. A fully functioning compressor is therefore necessary for the system to perform and deliver the desired temperatures in the vehicle.

The compressor is generally mounted on the engine and usually driven by an auxiliary belt from the crankshaft, which will normally also drive several of the vehicle’s other components. The internal parts are lubricated by a specially formulated oil, which is why it’s a mixture of oil and refrigerant that is present in the AC loop.

The compressor needs to be replaced when it fails to pump at the proper pressures, which will mean the AC system will be cooling down the ambient air more slowly than it did previously. Sometimes the compressor can make noises which indicate internal damage or perhaps that the loop is suffering from a lack of oil, which left unresolved, can finally result in a broken compressor.

If its drive belt is not running in the correct alignment or should one of the pulleys begin to seize or locks completely, the compressor is one of the first components to feel the repercussions. This can have a huge impact on the compressor and may break its delimiter pulley or cause another malfunction.

If something like this happens, technicians need to check all the components driven by the auxiliary belt to see if anything is stuck or not running as it should, because if another component near the compressor isn’t working properly either, but it is only the compressor that is replaced, the problem may reoccur with all the unwelcome consequences that would bring with it.
