Jim thanks for the great video on testing and R/R of AC compressor on 2009 Honda CRV. It saved me about $635.00 to do it myself by watching your video.
Excellent way to make a how to video , straight forward no BS! Excellent
Where did you buy your compressor from? Any knowledge you care to share on OE or aftermarket parts, maybe a specific brand you'll take if not OE?! Please and thank you.
I would like people to call R-134a "refrigerant" or "R-134a". R-12 was called "Freon'. Oh, me? A retired 50 year fleet mechanic and an ASE certified mechanic for Auto and HD Truck. Yes, too many PRO mechanics call that R134a refrigerant "Freon" but just 'cuz they do, does not mean it's right. This is a good video on the procedure to replace the compressor! Thanks!
Jim, Thank you for this fantastic video on replacing the AC compressor. I have a 2007 CRV and was quoted over $1800 to replace the compressor. With your help and step by step instructions I am in it for a little over $335. I know the car is not worth over $3000 but now we have a second great car that will last for several more years. Thanks again, much appreciated!
Very informative, thank you.
Happened to me twice this summer 2020, Driving in the freeway at 75mph with the a c on,and suddenly after an hour of driving the a c stop blowing cold air.After 5 minutes the cold air came back.I replaced the condenser cooling fan that I thought was the culprit because the temp went up when it happened.Yesterday it happened again Driving home from O.C to Palmdale about 90miles drive after about 70 miles of driving it happened again cooling stopped for 5 minutes and came back.What do you think is the culprit,Any DIY or AC expert.Please share if you know the fix. Thanks.
Thanks for the video; giving the replacement a go on a 2011
Hi Jim! Great video. I have a question. If the compressor is not locked up. All pressures are normal and I have voltage from the clutch relay to the clutch, is it a possible answer the the clutch could bad and not the entire compressor?
Thanks for ac compressor replacement video. AC worked perfectly to/from trip until accelerating up hill when cool air stopped. Just questioning why a single owned garaged car/compressor with 114M miles should need replacement. Thanks again.
Just a point of technicality. When Jimmy says there is power at the clutch connector and because there is power present the compressor is bad. What he really should say is the clutch is bad. The compressor maybe fine it's just the clutch that is faulty. However the reason he says this is because these days you sometimes cannot get a clutch assembly by it;s self and just swap it out. You have to get an entire new compressor. And also Jimmy being a shop if he just changed out the clutch and the compressor failed in a year and he offers a 2 year warranty hows he going to explain that to the customer. So it's a better angle for him to replace the clutch and compressor even though technically there may not be anything wrong with the compressor.
Good morning, would this be the same for a 2004 Honda crv
Another awesome video Jim! This vid helped me tremendously as I swapped my old Honda CRV compressor for a new one. I will note that the top low pressure line bolt was pretty seized. I ended up using a universal joint on a really long extension to get the access or torque needed by coming from the top down. Keep the great videos coming!
Thank you for the step by step video. With your video and Chris fix video on recharging, i completed the evacuation, installation and recharge on my 2011 Crv. Thanks
Thank you Jim. Great step by step which saved me about $1,200. First ac repair on my part so I’m glad that I found your video and bought the required tools.
Great video, are you in California, if so please work on my car 🙂
Hartech automotive says yes,,, a good instruction
Im planning on installing a bypass pulley and completely remove the ac compressor. Will this same removal process work for a 2002 Honda CRV model?
FYI i tried looking for the small serpentine belt gates k070553 to bypass the AC and not deal with the hassle of removing the AC, but the parts store will receive tuesday and i needed my honda to be on the road ASAP.
Can the compressor stop the engine from turning over? I’ve been driving the CRV for days and nothing happened until this morning. It was cold here and just didn’t start.
Thanks Jim, Told that my compressor seized, likely sending shards/contaminants into system, so I need to replace with 5 pc kit (compressor, condenser, drier, expansion valve, oil, O-rings… Questions:
1. What remaining parts I don't change (hoses/pipes) do I need to air flush repainting pipes before connecting hi/lo to new compressor (of contaminants)?
2. Once everything assembled, can I for a very short time (minutes) test run the compressor to make sure in goes on (prior to vacumming/recharging w/ refrig.)? I plan to have local shop recharge.
Again, thanks for great video.
Awesome job Jim! My son’s 2006 Civic Si ac clutch stops working after the engine is running about 20 minutes. Both radiator/condenser fans remain running , except the clutch. Once the engine cools off, it’ll function normal for 20 minutes. Any suggestions or advice will be appreciated.
Hi Jim. I replaced the compressor myself. I didn't vacuum before I removed it tho. When i installed new one the compressor n clutch did turned on but there was no cold air coming from vents only warm. I drove for 2 days but I was not turning on the ac. When I got my vacuum pump I vacuumed the system 2 times and then i tried to charge with refrigerant but it seems that it wont take it. Now my problem is that the clutch doesn't engage and so I can turn on the ac but there is warm air coming from the vents only and my lines pressure both are around 80-86 psi. What could be the problem?
Thanks for the vídeo. I have a 2007 crv my questions are how do I charge the compressor before putting refrigerant? I dont have the machine that you have to vacuum? Is it necessary to vacuum? Can I just put refrigerant after install the compressor?
To check a static charge of refrigerant you only need one guage line on low side preferred also this is a typical AC compressor CLUTCH failure very common on Honda and does not require the removal of the refrigerant nor the Entire Compressor to repair but most shops dont want to do this because the lose labor and parts money. Also you can purchase the clutch alone for a fraction of the cost of the entire Compressor
i change the ac compressor on a 2011 crv its cold perfect, but i notice it does not cutting off like automatic
Good video, he is so knowledgeable and nice
