The other tech I work with has had two this week with evaporators. Both he found with Bullseye leak detector. The one on Monday had oil spots all over it. The one today the customer already had condenser done last year from dealer. Customer is going to try and have dealer pay for evap core. Good video. Thanks for the info. 👍

EVERYONE WITH HONDA A/C ISSUES PLEASE MAKE A COMPLAINT TO HONDA. They said there aren’t enough complaints for a recall. I’m almost 4 wks and $3,000 in, and that is with them covering the condenser under “good will”. It is not good will when they know the leak will ruin the whole system. ‘16-‘18 Civics and some CRVs have the issue.

@schochy13 8 дней назад

We just started having this problem on our 19 crv ex. I will def be making a complaint to honda. Barely pushed the a/c button the entire time ive had it since 2019 and used the ac button the week of the 4th only for it to happen to us. Just took it into the dealer and was quoted $400 for diag if its more than just the seals. Will find out more when i pick it up tonight. Hoping its just what is covered under warranty so im not out $400+😕

I worked in service at a honda dealership, and every honda began leaking refrigerant from just about any component after r1234yf was introduced. The toyota dealer next door even contacted us to ask if we were having refrigerant leaks. The toyota dealer told us they were experiencing the same problem. R1234yf is decomposing seals.

I’d love to be able to remove the lines going to the expansion valve and only change the o rings. Whenever those O rings start to leak, we replace the lines. The parts are less than $110 and it comes with the o rings. I’ve seen so many times the leak is caused by corrosion and 50% of the time the lines will break off in the expansion valve.

@BCautosolutions 11 месяцев назад

Unfortunately that’s just going to be the case. Remember it’s like turning off your house ac I’m 100 degree day them turning it on. It’s going to take a while between getting all the hot air out (I drive with windows down for 3-5 minutes) having the vents come down in temps, and lastly being efficient enough to actually be able to cool that much.

@joekickass2819 11 месяцев назад

Do you know if it’s normal for a slight squeaking sound coming from the front passenger side when the AC is running? I thought it was just an issue with my 19 civic but my new 23 pilot has the same sound Changing the fan speed doesn’t make the sound go up or down. Turning the ac off with the blower on stops the sound so I am pretty sure it’s something AC related

@BCautosolutions 11 месяцев назад

Chances are something going on with the expansion valve. They are typically the ones that can cause a noise (usually a hiss or whistle type noise)

@@BCautosolutions I have a 2021 Civic EX that has a 'rattling noise' when the A/C is on that is on the passenger side. The noise is always there at any speed, and it does go away when you shut the A/C off and leave the blower on. The dealer never notices it and I'm getting no answers from them. The A/C blows cold.

We own a 2020 Sport with the 2 liter, At idle I can hear when the Compressor is on, But have to be standing outside to hear it, Outside next to the right front at least, To me that's normal but maybe yours changed in sound since new, Just my observation as a owner especially when it's really Hot out, Also at first I thought I maybe wouldn't like the performance of this new YF freon, But driving Yesterday in over 80⁰f temps I had to set it above 65⁰f as it was too cold once the humidity was gone, I guess it's not a bad problem to have 😁 .

@@raymondreiff8170 so I hear the squeaking only from in the cabin. My wife can hear it too. Can’t hear it when outside from the engine bay. I guess it’s normal since both the civic and my brand new pilot have the same sound. Also because of the civic condenser recall I got worried it was related

My car was in the shop for about 1 month. My car kept losing power when i accelerated. I took it to Honda and they did a coolant flush, changed a spark plug, and changed the cabin air filter. The car kept having the same issue and they checked for a coolant leak and didnt find anything, I refused to take it back til they found the coolant was leaking into the engine through a head gasket. They told me it was going to be 3k to fix luckly i was still under warranty.

It’s a matter of making up a bastard of an ac hose, you take both a R-134 and 1234YF charger, cut them in half and put the fitting for the R-134 can on the 1234YF low side fitting, not exactly legal and it’s emissions tampering but it’s very doable

@KaranSingh5 11 месяцев назад

Dear, my 2017 Civic 1800cc was not heating up as per the gauge but on turning ON the AC would generate heat in the engine cabin and run the radiator fan on fullest speed. My AC mechanic fixed it by reducing the AC high pressure. Now it trips and the fan works in peace with good cooling. Can you please share the high and low pressure values of AC for this model ? Or share a spec doc with these for honda?
