    We start by dismantling the front trim, radiator brackets, and the fan assembly. Removing the old condenser, replacing it with a new one, and preserving essential components is crucial. This guide also highlights the importance of proper belt replacement and provides a schematic for correct routing.
    After securely positioning the new compressor, we delve into the critical steps of adding PAG 46 oil, vacuuming the system, and charging the refrigerant. We emphasize safety and eco-friendliness throughout the process, including using a bucket to catch leaked fluids and ensuring proper refrigerant capture.
    The video concludes with thorough testing and troubleshooting to verify a job well done. We address common issues like air temperature discrepancies and clutch engagement.

      I'm gonna clear an afternoon at this point. This makes it look like a quick bing bang boom done. The starter didn't seem too bad until I was trying to remove a misthreaded and melted bolt. Ended up calling my grandfather to borrow his pneumatic tools because I apparently didn't have a breaker bar long enough 🤬

    best video so far. Just replace clutch assembly 2004 3.0 Accord, wasn't the problem; compressor. Not sure I want to do the compressor switcherony without the AC pump apparatus. Damn.

  • @adamgerst8811

    With mine the compressor doesn't make any noises or anything, the pulley isn't seized and the clutch spins freely when you turn it by hand, I tested the wiring and relays to it but unfortunately that wasn't the issue, I'm going to just replace the compressor but is the condenser necessary in my case? I'm somewhat working on a tight budget, and your video is very helpful, great way of showing the steps.

    Great job! I was wondering if the accumulator/drier came with the condenser? All the pics and even the manufacturer website shows without. I even called TYC and they said no. I have it on order thur your amazon link but hope it comes with it. Thanks again

    • @PracticalMechanic
      @PracticalMechanic  Місяць тому

      I didn't need to order it separately when I bought it 1 yr ago. What came with the TYC one I got can be seen at 3:31.

    • @hiker5500
      @hiker5500 Місяць тому +1

      @PracticalMechanic Thanks so much for your reply...I spoke with a product specialist from tyc and they said it does come with the drier. He said they changed manufacturer in 2019 and he hasn't updated the product pics. This would have delayed my repair so I'm so glad it comes with it. I'm using your starter replacement video as well. I can't thank you enough for taking the time to do these videos to help people like me save where I can.

    If we replace only compressor, then don't we need to remove condenser and the radiator fan? Also avoid disconnecting radiator hose?

    • @2008Prashantha
      @2008Prashantha 2 місяці тому

      In another video I saw a mechanic draining the radiator fluid before removing condenser, and later after install he used a vacuum to vacuum air in the radiator and then refilled the radiator fluid. Is it required? Can we directly add fluid like you did?

    • @PracticalMechanic
      @PracticalMechanic  5 місяців тому +2

      Sorry, I don't have an 02, so can't comment on the specifics. The basic procedure would be the same, but the 02 uses a different compressor (Denso 471-1190), like this one:

      I would estimate about $1000 - $1,500, based on what I've seen recently in the forums. I would be interested to hear others chime in as well.

    A clogged condenser doesn't always caused a failed AC compressor, just like with an Alternator or Power steering pump, they all fail after 200,000 miles. Yeah if it fails when you only have 100,000 miles then maybe your theory is right. My last Honda Accord had 300,000 miles and the original AC worked fine, but I know people that the AC compressor died around the time their Alternator died. My second 8th gen Accord I'm at 261,000 miles and my AC compressor is still working but it's making noise and failing. You don't need to replace the AC condenser if your AC still works

  • @Abizzy84
    @Abizzy84 10 днів тому

    It's way easier to change the AC compressor on 2008 Accord than the 7th gens
