Thermal and climate systems

Heat pumps, chillers, valves and coolant loops — the system that decides how long the pack lasts.

When to have it looked at

  • Charging speed that drops off far sooner than it should.
  • No cabin heat, or air conditioning that has quietly stopped.
  • Coolant loss, or a pump or valve you can hear working constantly.

Why it fails

The thermal system decides how hard the pack is allowed to work and therefore how long it lasts. A stuck valve or a tired pump does not throw a dramatic fault — it quietly keeps the pack too warm or too cold, the car protects itself by limiting power and charging, and the owner blames the battery.

How we work

  1. We record the condition in writing before anything is opened, and you get a copy.
  2. The unit is stripped and inspected. It is the only way to know the real state of it.
  3. Everything that matters is measured, not estimated.
  4. You get a written quote before any repair starts. Nothing proceeds without your agreement.
  5. We replace what has actually failed and what will fail next, not the whole assembly.
  6. It is tested under load and returned to you with the findings written up.

What decides the price

What moves the price is the platform, what we find once it is open — which nobody can know beforehand — and whether the original parts can be reused. That is why the quote comes after the inspection and not before it.

Turnaround, warranty and whether a teardown is chargeable are set by this workshop. Ask us before you commit.
