This was the best video for this honda car and the best info I been doing welding and mechanics for over 45 years but it’s like that saying can’t teach a old dog new tricks but that’s not true because video’s like this one I have learnt more so thank u and hope to c more

[@kwedtc]

Thanks! I don't want to do that job at all.

[@garybaker2288]

What is the point of pouring out new oil and then adding new oil right back this video is not clear and this is a real question not sarcasm

[@pasivo2009]

The ac in my 2010 Honda only cools when I'm going 40 miles per hour. A mechanic told me that he had to change the compressor. It is certain that?

[@jacobkasparian6153]

There was a third bolt on the alternator. So if the alternator doesn’t budge, don’t force it like I did. I chipped the frame 4:26

[@jacobkasparian6153]

It should be located on the very bottom if you have a third bolt, which isn’t mentioned in the video

[@josemarrero7982]

Incredible video man, love your informative content but i definitely DO NOT WANT TO DO THIS 🙄

[@ronaldsosa951]

So is it 3 onz of oil or 6?
Because you never mentioned you changed you say you add it more

[@bigx9963]

Thanks for such a detailed installation. I fast forward and rewind your installation procedure several times. Only thing that I've seen missing is that you should flush the system with high pressure air and a/c flush and clean before the installation of the new parts (compressor and etc.) since there may be old (aluminum) debris inside the line. BTW, why is this Honda so rusty.🤔

[@user-pe7qc9im9g]

I love the way you explain it so perfect I REALLY appreciate you God bless you 😊

[@matthewhamilton7184]

Is it necessary to change the oil from the new compressor? What if I take my car to get the AC charged?

[@5.7tundra]

Just replaced the compressor in my 07 si. The new belt was the same size as the old but I could not get it on. I ended up have to buy a belt that was slightly larger. Even then I had a hard time. I had to remove the idle pulley put belt in place and then idle pulley and then release the tensioner to get it on

[@Scary-Terry]

Thanks a lot your instructions helped me a lot in changing out the ac compressor .

[@randyjames4718]

You should do civic hybrid video for compressor and charging system and condenser etc

[@chrisk5178]

Best video by far on the subject

[@dhoser9296]

Great video, thanks for doing it. What power impact wrench/driver did you use? Didn't see it listed below.

[@sami0661]

Thanks for the video , you provide great details , I really appreciate that , I just have a question please , I have Honda civic 2010 it has 70000 miles in mint condition , I don't know if i will do same as in your video same as in this , the A/C weak sometimes blow hot air after cool air , I add ferion and put the pressure caliper found the low side 80 and the high side is 50 !!!! This before I run A/C staying like that even when I increase the engine to 2000 rpm just the low side went to 75 after 5 minutes but the high side didn't change what do you think the problem ? There is no any leak at all , I have short video clip if you interested to see what is going on .
Thanks

[@adeelanjum3732]

Awesome video, explains everything so well

[@antoniowade3318]

Good job, thank you guys and gals for what you'll do.. Thanks again. Wade Out..

[@albertmartinez2019]

my AC works when im just parked air on but i gotta gradually increase the cooling as it goes, if i step on the gas the air cuts out but when i maintain a solid speed under 70 itll be cool sometimes it cuts in n out. im GUESSING its my compressor after seeing reels showing it move n the freeze up, i feel thats what im going thru as i drive or even struggle to get cold air coming thru. im not abl to turn max AC right when i get in, ive noticed that hotter months cause it to not work at all at times. please help another persons input would help

[@MrGreateinstein]

Isnt it better if you remove it from the bottom the part itself?

[@HC_Chriss]

Do you necessarily need a torque wrench

[@msschill]

Is there any rule of thumb that states if the AC compressor has failed and run for "x amount" of time, replace more lines and condenser due to sending debris into the system??

[@hagi_]

What about the ac compressor on a 7th gen civic

[@gingerfication3375]

Subbed thank you guys! Good stuff, bought a 5 speed beater civic EX 2007

[@victorgastelum3062]

Is an exelent work

[@cognac8297]

[@mrFalconlem]

[@bob15479]

Good heavens the corrosion in this engine bay

[@lucavergara5128]

A lot of unanswered questions :(

[@user-zg7wg1pr3k]

ExcelenteElVideoMaestroGraciasPorCompartirSaludos

[@_ColeJackson_]

Why you pour out oil for knowing that exact amount ?

[@ronaldsosa951]

So is it 3 onz of oil or 6?
Because you never mentioned you changed you say you add it more
