AC Compressor

My Type-S · Post by **Carlosfandango** » Sat May 11, 2024 12:40 pm

Bought mine from Rock Auto... along with an ac air drier and my CRV's brake carriers. Damn expensive shipping due to weight, but hey I've got them now

Thought it best to preempt it failing in the future. Turned out the racket the car was making was the alternator!

Where is the stone guard fitted/what does it cover?
Do you have any pics?

It's just fitted in the lower section of the front bumper as below.

Hopefully You can just see it.
I made it up to protect from stones ect and I didn't like the lower section looking so open.

the grille wont affect airflow over the rad. If you get down low and shine a torch in there, can you see all your air con rad fins?

Lo All

I had the AC checked out a few day's ago and they found the low pressure valve had a leak.
They Re-gassed the system but they still think the compressor has an issue.
They said the temperature is fluctuating.
It appears to be working better.
I got a price to replace with a new compressor and also a new drier Re-gas labour and VAT.
£637
