  1. 16 Civic AC Not Working

    Only the condenser unfortunately.
  2. 16 Civic AC Not Working

    I'm not sure, probably isn't great if you are doing it over and over. Having to do it every so often shouldn't bother it much.
  3. 16 Civic AC Not Working

    Hard to say for sure. I'd say chances are it's the condenser, but don't be surprised if its the compressor. I know the condenser leaks are slow which seems to be what you are experiencing. I am not sure if the compressor leaks are slow or not. I wouldn't tell them that you refilled the system DIY.

    Mine had the same issue, driver side vent was by far the warmest. It was due to my system being low on refrigerant due to a condenser leak. All was covered under the extended condenser warranty.

    I am, no deductible has been charged for this fix though. Just curious if they are repairing other components that people have been having trouble with.
  6. 16 Civic AC Not Working

    Is this only for condenser's, or are they repairing other problematic parts like the compressor as well?
  7. 16 Civic AC Not Working

    So you got shot down by the dealer, therefore you recommend that other people with this issue just refill their systems and not even try to get it fixed under warranty?
  8. 16 Civic AC Not Working

    Or you could just try to have it fixed for free by the dealer like many of us have. I'm not trying to knock you or anything, you do you. I'd rather have things fixed properly though. If I can do a proper fix myself then I'll do it. I don't have the tools to recover/fill an A/C system, so to the...
  9. 16 Civic AC Not Working

    When I dropped off my car the dealer did say it was going to be $350 for the diag. However, once the condenser was found to be the issue I was not charged. I did bring up the TSB in my initial email, and to the service advisor when I dropped off the car. I also inspected and took pictures of my...
  10. 16 Civic AC Not Working

    I would take it to the dealer asap (before the summer A/C rush) and have them check it out. My 2016 Civic had the same behavior last year, didn't really notice the A/C was bad until it was over 90. Ended up being a leaky condenser which was covered under the extended warranty they attached to...
  11. 16 Civic AC Not Working

    I didn't pay a dime to get mine fixed, lots of others had the same experience. Why not schedule an appointment with the dealer just to see what they say? I'd bring up the condenser TSB so the dealer knows that you are aware of the issue. If you trade it in your cars value will be reduced...

    When I got my condenser replaced under warranty the service advisor indicated it came from China. If that is true, then there is likely only one factory churning these out and sending them to Honda factories. This would mean it's a worldwide problem. In response to the recent remarks in this...
  13. A/C not working: Work in progress

    It'll be hard to get the money back after the fact, the proof is gone. Check the invoice and see if they charged you for the condenser. If they did, see if it specifies why it was replaced. The only reason you should have been charged for a bad condenser would be rock damage. If they replaced it...
  14. 16 Civic AC Not Working

    I got a call this week saying my condenser was in. They had an opening the next day, so I got it in and its taken care of. Air is nice and cold again. While it's been a frustrating experience with the back order and lack of communication from the dealership, I did not get charged a dime. Can't...
  15. A/C not working: Work in progress

    Don't mean to thread hijack. Could you share a thread or DM me links to what you bought? I'm a month in to waiting for my condenser and am about done.....
  16. 16 Civic AC Not Working

    Nice! I was never that impressed with the Civic's A/C from the start, I just figured that's how the car was. Hopefully I'll have the same experience as you when it gets fixed.
  17. 16 Civic AC Not Working

    Is your A/C all sorted now zspeed?
  18. 16 Civic AC Not Working

    I was looking at the Mazda 3, the one thing I really didn't like about it was visibility. It also didn't have the daylight LED's on it at the time. Not a big deal, but it swayed me a little more towards the Civic. I've been a loyal Honda guy since the late 90s, it's been hard for me to let go...
  19. 16 Civic AC Not Working

    The late 90s Honda's were as good as they got. They've been going downhill since then really. Saying that, I like my 10th gen, just wish they had put a quality condenser in the car so I wouldn't be where I'm at. I am on a medication that has made me heat sensitive, and we've been having one of...
  20. 16 Civic AC Not Working

    2020 Civic's are still rolling off the assembly line though.... I was told this part comes from China. There were issues for a couple months after COVID hit there and you could tell just shopping around that things were difficult to get. That hasn't been the case for a couple months now.
