Has anyone tried that?
I have A/C issues just like many of us civic owners. I already took mine in to the dealer twice, 2nd time they put in a dye in the system. I scheduled an appointment for a 3rd service, but decided to look at the condenser with a blacklight. I found 3 small oil circles right at the same level where the unprotected vents in the bumper are.
Honda unfortunately does not cover condenser that are shot because of debris. One user in another topic here wrote that his dealer replaced his free of charge along with some other things, but I don't know if I want to risk that route, as the dealers charge like $300 fee diagnostic fee if it's your fault, and fighting it in corporate ends with Honda telling you to go f yourself, as described by other users.
So, can we just shoot R134 into our systems? The main issue is the oil - some people claim it'll work just fine, some say it requires a flush and then using oil that'll work with R134. I found a dude on a dodge forum (https://www.dodgedurango.net/forums...nvert-their-r1234yf-systems-back-r134a-2.html) who said he just shot it in and claimed to have worked fine.
Has anyone tried that with the civic yet?
