Hi, I've started reading a.a.honda and r.a.m.honda recently, and find
that there're nice and very knowledgeable people here. Hope you can give
me some ideas regarding my 2001 Civic
I live in the Pacific Northwest, where we have dry summers and wet
winters. That means, I only use the air conditioning mostly during the
winter. To save gas, I turn off the a/c when the windshield is clear,
and turn it back on when it fogs up again.
I don't know whether this practice actually gave me this problem, but
when I turn on the a/c, it started to give a mouldy/mewdewy smell. I
don't think breathing this kinda air is very healthy anyway...
So, my question is: is it easy to take apart the HVAC system (ducts,
filters etc...) for a thorough cleaning? Is it a DIY job?
Second question: regarding my rear suspension. The 2001 Civic is known
to have very soft rear suspension, and the poor rear passengers get
tossed around for quite a bit. What kind of aftermarket parts exist that
can improve its ride? (Or even OEM parts that fits the 2001 Civic...)
Thank you very much!!
Kevin
