ForeverMaker Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I have an 07 CR-V that probably just needs a recharge or something. Where should I take it because I have a feeling the dealer will rape me. :no: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Ive seen the condensors go bad on those, as the bottom of them are kind of out in the open.. Rocks and crap shooting in there. Check for a greasy build up on it. I dont have an AC machine or I would hook you up.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staywide8 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Compressor usually. See it a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverMaker Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Thanks for the tip. It is still under warranty so I am guessing it will be covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fast5gp Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Thanks for the tip. It is still under warranty so I am guessing it will be covered. If it is the compressor, make sure they replace the whole system. This was a common problem on the 03-04 crvs, the AC compressor implodes and contaminate the whole system. Even if you replace the compressor, metal shards from the previous compressor will screw up the new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeverMaker Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 So apparently it is indeed the compressor and all related parts in the system. Would have cost $800 but will be covered under warranty. :fuckyeah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
