Perfect timing! Middle of Texas summer and my A/C goes out.
Its a 2002 Civic. I'm going to replace the compressor and probably the drier. Has anyone done this? Any pitfalls I need to look out for? Any advice is greatly appreciated. |

If your compressor failed it may have contaminated the system and requires a complete flush. If you don't get all the contamination out of the condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, etc. it can cause your new compressor to also fail or simply won't work properly.
