air conditioning

  1. AC System different on Type R vs 2.0L EX Trim Civic?

    My car was in service for a week at the dealer and they gave me a 2021 loaner civic EX with just under 4k KM on it. Noticed right away that the AC in the loaner civic didn't blow as cold as my Type R which has over 110k KM and a 2017 model(covered under extended AC warranty). I did notice the...
  2. Brand new 2021 Civic Hatchback with low refrigerant, cause unknown

    Hi, I bought my car new from the dealer 5/31/21. Right away the air conditioner was weak and required being on full blast to cool down at all(at first I assumed user error so i read the manual but i was doing the right things). Soon on a 90°F+ day it failed to cool at all so I brought it into...
  3. AC Squeal or Squeak

    Does anyone else have this issue where when they are sitting idle with the AC on, there is a squeal of squeak sound coming from the front passenger side. I can’t tell if it’s from the belt/compressor or from the actual fan motor. Increasing the fan speed or driving makes the noise inaudible...
  4. Window Issues, AC Out, Regional Honda Rep Meeting soon. Help?

    Hi all, I have a 2016 Civic Lx that I have on lease and was planning on buying out. Recently, the car has had a window issue on both driver and passenger side that I've taken to the dealer 3x now. The windows make an incredibly loud banging/hitting sound when switching from rolling it down to...
  5. 2017 Hatchback EX - Left Center Air Vent Moves On its Own

    I've had my 2017 Hatch EX since December, and love almost everything about the car. The biggest complaint I have so far is that the left center vent moves on its own. I'm pretty sure it's related to the temperature, and weight of the vent. Oddly enough it's only ever the left center vent, the...
  6. A/C During Cool Mornings

    When I'm driving around in the morning, temp in the 50s-60s... I'm coming out of a relatively warm garage. A/C set to 66, auto, synced. The cabin just does not cool down. I have to set the temp to LO to get it blow good A/C, then when it gets cooler, it will maintain temperature ok. To...
  7. Air Conditioner heating has weird smell, like burning or bad air freshener

    Hi there, I just picked up a 2016 Civic Touring about three weeks ago (6,000km) and so far I'm still getting used to the car. One thing that seems odd is that when the air conditioner applies any heat (or if the climate control puts in heat without the air conditioner) there is a weird smell...
  8. AC leak

    My touring has 14500 miles on it. The AC has been gugrling for some time now. I thought it was normal, but brought it up anyway. Apparently it failed a vacuum test and had to be refilled with freon and dye so they can track down the leak on next visit. Gurgling is now gone though. Thoughts...
  9. Normal AC Operation (Sound)

    Hello all, Second day of owning my new 2016 Civic. (2.0L Version). The more you drive, the more you hear the car. I started hearing a noise, when the aircon is on, regardless of mode/temp, very faint and very infrequent, and I am wondering if it's supposed to sound like that or if it's not...
  10. A/C help

    I have looked around and found air conditioning issues addressed here but not exactly like our issue, or at least I couldn't find the thread. We just purchased a 2016 Civic Sedan Touring. We only have a few hundred miles on it. Our issue is this, the a/c works great while moving, once you sit...
