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. |

+1 on having a shop check it out first. The last time my ac failed (99 Grand Caravan) was due to the evaporator core developing a hole. I never would have figured it out on my own. That was a ridiculous repair, but I did it myself to save ridiculous money.
If it is the compressor, get a new one, rather than rebuilt, if you can. I will cost a bit more, but will be worth it. Double check all the parts that should be replaced along with the compressor and drier. Expansion valve, orifice tube, switches... Some of these may also need to be replaced. Good luck!
