Air conditioning service from Bosch
Air conditioning service benefits mainly workshops
with special knowledge and correct devices. Air
conditioners in the vehicle require regular maintenance. Therefore, there is a fast growing potential
for competent air conditioning service.

The calculation at the side shows: If a workshop uses all
options in a professional manner, it can make a turnover
of up to 12,000 euros during the 4-month season of air
conditioning service. The device therefore pays for itself
even during the first season. The air conditioning service
workshop equipment makes comfortable and fully automatic work possible. Bosch has more know-how in this
area than any others.

The oil in air conditioners fulfills
several tasks. This includes, primarily,
the lubrication of movable components.

Complete solutions from Bosch for air conditioning service
Modern air conditioners are frequently equipped with a control unit.
Apart from mechanical tasks at the air conditioner, fault memories
and control unit data must also be read out. Bosch offers the ECU
diagnostics devices from the KTS series for this purpose. Specified
data and maintenance schedules are provided by the workshop
software ESI[tronic].
