- 2020 CRV Touring, 2017 Civic EX Sedan Honda Sensing
Most of the CRV (and Honda AC issues in general) issues were down to the clutch not engaging anymore. The quick DIY fix is to take the spacer off that is on the clutch shaft between the clutch plate and the compressor assembly. I had to do this on my old 2001 Civic and I could have done it on our 2010 CRV but where my brother works at a parts warehouse, I got a new one at his price and had Honda install it. $550 all in. (For those wondering, the prescription from the dealership was to replace only the clutch assembly at a price higher than what I paid for the whole new compressor)What bothers me is, we had a CRV that the compressor stopped working and once it stopped ….that was it....no A/C. This situations seems different. Maybe the compressor clutch is choosing not to work intermittently and the rebuild kit is for it.....?
ZOMG YES!!! For all the praise I have for the dealership and service I get where I go, man, only the manager and senior supervisor on the service desk know anything. The rest of the clowns are just paper pushers or pushy sales wannabes.What the Honda Desk Rep tells you is whatever they want to tell you--- they are typically not techs
