a/c compressor locked up
My 2000 Honda Accord a/c compressor locked up, the belt started to
burn. The car has 82,000 miles on it. I was able to drive it to Honda dealer were I do all my repairs. They told me I need a new a/c compressor, belts and it will cost $1,880.00 I was shocked at the cost. Are they charging me too much? They told me I could not even drive the car because the a/c belt that was burning is on a pulley system and if I try to drive the car the belt would continue to burn. My 2000 Honda Accord is a V6 4 door model. Have their been problems with the a/c compressors in Hondas, any "unoffical" warranties that anyone knows of? This car has been nothing but problems, this is the model that the transmission went on. |

a/c compressor locked up
If the compressor locked up, you should still be able to drive the vehicle
as long as you don't switch on the AC or select defrost (which may turn on the compressor). If the compressor failed, it likely shot lots of metal throughout your AC system. And many parts of your system cannot be flushed out so they must be replaced. And this can be very expensive........... When I replaced the compressor, expansion valve, and reciever dryer on my 95 Civic 4 years ago, I thought I could flush the condenserand the rest of the system. My new compressor failed again after a little over 4 years. I have since found out that Honda condensers cannot be flushed. Buying all of the parts at Manchester Honda this time set me back around $800. And the very best flush is around $40 a quart. Good Luck |
