I have a 2001 Accord V6, and the AC has lost it's cooling since the first year. I was thinking about doing a recharge, but before I do so, I wanna ask for your expert opinions on what I should do first. Thanks!

 

Make sure it isn't still under warranty. If it is the only thing is to take it to a Honda dealer.

 

Roll down the windows and drive 65. There was no way I was gonna pay to have the AC in my '85 upgraded so I just keep a pair of earplugs in the car now and drive with the windows down.

 

who needs a/c when u average 120?

 

somthing is definately wrong

my friend has a 99 accord V6 and it blows ICE cold

I have a 94 and it blows ICE cold

check your seals and o-rings....worse case you have a leak in the condensor or evaporator best case leaky o-ring or compressor seal

 

First can you see the Clutch engage on the compressor ? Condensors are a common problem on Accords but have not seen many on the 2001 ;Look for a wet spot in front;

 

must be defected part of something..
my 90's still blow ice cold..only rechanged once at 97
