okay so i recharged my ac cus thats all the guy who i bought the car from said it needed to do.
cost me 110.
was pretty cheap for some 2hour coldness.
left the shop was super uber cold loved it.
then it came back to the hotass blower.
went back the next day to the shop and the guy recharged once more and we heard a leak coming from the compressor only.
a loud sssssssssssssssssssssss.
then the freeon level was at 0 again.

well my main question is can i just replace the ac compressor and everything will work fine and be cold again.?

pleather std seats need to go,burns my chicks *** and mines too.
please help!?
any sugggestions or should just buy a whole full ac system?

 

bump...help please

 

bump cmon guys anyone experience this or could help me?

 

Did the shop use leak detection dye when they charged the system? They should have.

If you pinpointed the leak point as the compressor itself and are certain that nothing else was leaking, then you should be able to get it to hold a charge by replacing the compressor with a good one. However, there are no guarantees when working with air conditioning, especially on an 18+ year old car. The system is only as good as its weakest link. You could very well replace the compressor and charge the system, only for it to spring a leak elsewhere.

 

all true,
thanks for your opinion.

on another note,
are DX Si Hf EX sedan hatch and wagon a/c compressors all interchangible?
thanks in advance.

 

It could just be an oring blown or missing on the hose the connects to the compressor. Did you try disconnecting both hoses to check??

 

no i didnt,ha
i had no knowledge towards A/C
all the guy said was your compressor is bad,let me giive yu and estimate on fixing it.
THEN BAM!
800$
LABOR PARTS AND COLD AIR.
my immediate response was....
gone home with the windows down.

 

HAHA yea I understand well bro I got a Compressor off my 89 hatch D15B1
I'll trade ya then you could deside if you want try put it in or not.

 

'88-91 Civic/CRX A/C compressors are not all interchangeable, but it doesn't have anything to do with trim level. Your car may have either a Sanden or a Matsushita compressor depending on which A/C accessory kit was installed by the selling dealership when the car was new. The two compressors require different lines because the fittings are in different locations. They also take a different belt length, but that's not as big of a deal as the line fitment.

I believe someone has posted pictures in this forum detailing the visual differences between the Matsushita and Sanden compressors to make them easier to identify. You may want to try a search.
