In the front of an MX5 NB (1998–2000), the air conditioning works in conjunction with the ventilation and heating systems to maintain a comfortable cabin climate. The system not only cools the air but also removes moisture from it, allowing the windows to defog more quickly on rainy or cold days. Behind the bumper, the condenser and hoses are located close to the air deflector, which helps direct airflow through the radiator and condenser, meaning that good air circulation directly affects the system’s performance. In older cars, problems often arise due to leaks, aged seals, or wear on moving parts.
