  2. A/C OUT AGAIN! - 10th Gen Civic Sport Hatch

    This will be my 3rd trip to the dealership. 48k miles on 2017 civic hatch sport. Dallas / Fort Worth, TX location. 1st trip - dealer refilled refrigerant and added dye since they couldn't find the leak. This was covered under goodwill warranty at 36k miles 2nd trip (1 year later) - dealer...
  3. ECON mode effect on AC

    I know the civics have pretty problematic AC systems and I just had mine replaced. I am wondering if ECON mode increases wear and tear on the system or if the part quality from honda is just lower than expected.
  4. Broken Air Conditioner -- Again

    I have a 2017 si with 35,000 miles. Some time back, Honda replaced the air conditioning condensor. Now, the car is blowing hot air again. I took it to the dealer who told me that the condensor, evaporator and compressor are all leaking. The condensor is under the 10 year extended warranty but...
  5. 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.

  7. 2017 Civic Si A/C

    Hey everyone! I have a few comments/concerns about my ac. I’m trying to figure this out as to why my car does this. 1. When it’s really hot outside my car blows cold air but not enough of it. It generally gets a little warmer inside the car than usual. It’s fully charged too. 2. The other...
  8. DIY refrigerant recharge experiences

    If anyone DIYed recharging refrigerant (1234yf) or if service center recharged without repairing underlying leak, please share their experiences: - For how long did the a/c work? Various thread comments seem to vary anywhere from days to a year. - Did the refrigerant leak out after not using...
  9. Honda A/C -- Use it or Lose it !!

    I know there are already a multitude of threads about the Honda A/C failing, but a very likely reason for this failure is not being talked about very much, and since this may be KEY to the failures so many are having, it seems that it should warrant a new Thread. It would seem that NOT...
