Great job! Very straight up and informative. You've given me the tools I need to fix my car! Thank you!
Glad I could help you fix your car bro 🙏🏼
@@TheGerbsteve Thanks again! I had a quick question..
If I have to do my condenser and radiator, should I disconnect the condenser first and then the radiator? We almost have the same cars.
Yeah, disconnect condenser first because it’s in front of radiator.
@@TheGerbsteve Thanks brother! Simple and straight up👍
Subbed! Looking forward to more of your vids
+1 for taking responsibility for the broken bolt. That right there is a sign of a mature mechanic.
Gerb!As always thanks for your documentation and detail and torque specs you are my manual you saved my hide again I’ve got a slow leak in mine rock hit it just paid a shop $180 to do leak test vac down and refill 2 weeks and it’s already hot air again but they did the leak due so found the problem will fix myself only reason I had them do it I was in vacay and a massive road trip and a/c wasn’t getting it done they couldn’t find the leak of course... they did replace the Schrader valves o rings ....never stop wrenching plz keep the vids coming I bought this car 6 wks ago and have watched almost all your content ...thx
You’re welcome 👍🏼... more wrench sessions to come man, sure something will break lol... Never Stop Wrenching 🔧... And I really appreciate all your support
Where did you get the specs for the PAG oil ? Some folks are telling me its only in the Condenser ?
I had mine vac’d down and I’m not seeing any oil in the condenser and the same guys are hoping to recharge it after installed so perhaps they oil it up as well ?
hello , a quick question . what was the sensor in front of the grill?
Thank you! Definitely going to use this as a guide.
Yes buddy. DENSO is the OEM supplier.
Good choice
Can’t beat oem my guy 💪🏼
Gerb Productions true shit. I try to replace everything with the original supplier’s parts (not from Honda), and if I can’t do that, I usually get the part from another OEM supplier.
So do i for the most part lol
These cars look so good without the front bumper, I didn't wanna put mine back on lmao.
+Active EJ That's what I'm saying... Only reason I want to re install my bumper is because I don't want a rock hitting my brand new condenser and causing a leak. These cars must look so nasty with an intercooler on the front 👌🏼
how do i change my high pressure ac line?
Another helpful video man thanks for sharing.
You got it... Thanks for watching
Should the condenser leak when taking the ac lines off ? I attempted to unbolt mine and it was coming out pretty good
Would you happen to know if I still need to add PAG oil to the condesor when im also changing the compressor that already has oil in it?
Great video, I had a shop do my condenser but it’s now making some noise when accelerating or going over bumps so will check if any bolts are loose. Thanks!!
Make sure it's properly mounted into the brackets
Thanks it was very good for me I replaced it with watching it ., it is very helpful video
Thanks again
Straight boss work. Haven't been following up with your vids. what exactly happened to your ac system?
Ac compressor almost shit out on me man... Pretty sure the clutch or bearing was on it's way out.
Hi, can you make a video How to take off and replace a AC CLUTCH Honda Civic Si 8th Gen (2006-2011) . Thank you.
Thanks , helpful going to try it today . Good work bro
Thanks man, hope it helps you out. You got this 👍🏼
Gerb Productions Thanks man - sucessfully installed yesterday and AC is working again! :D
I love your videos !
🙏🏼
I love your vids - what video editing software do you use?
Love your support bro 🙏🏻... I use Final Cut Pro
Thanks--Well done. Very informative.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
I know this is an old video but I'm replacing my condensor/compressor. Comes with O rings, oil, and expansion valve. I'm wondering if you also did the dryer? Where is it located? Thanks in advance
Off Topic But I Have A Question .! I’m Trying To Add Mishimoto Fans & Shroud But Says Its Only For Si . I Dont Have An Si Can I Still Use The Fan Shroud .
That sensor at 2:15, where can you relocate it if you plan to do an AC delete?
Did your AC work?
I never knew I had to add oil after installing my condenser. Is there anything I can do rather then taking it off?
thanks! helped me a lot
Glad it helped!
My Honda is a 2014 lx, will it be basically the same thing?
So it had no freon in it before u took it off right?
Right, had it evacuated at a shop.
what is the purpose of adding oil to the new condenser? 6:40
Do I have to use the pag 46 oil when replacing the ac condenser??
Yes
Yo so I took the bolt out of the ac condenser and guess it snapped in side like yours and a loud pop and mad stuff started spraying out. Now what Lmfaoo. Think it’d be good if I just refill it?
I'd refill it very little, see what happens. If it doesn't hold anything, try replacing o-ring's or you may need a new condenser if it's damaged
Where did you get it so I can get one
So why did you replace the condenser? Did you have a/c issues?
8th gen Gang 💪🏼
+Erick Oaks 8th gen strong 💪
LOOKS LIKE A GIANT INTERCOOLER LMFAO. HEADER AND HONDATA NEXT MOD PLEASE!!
+comment man comment man Haha 😂... Ok 👀
Which oil to add to the condenser man
New performance racing radiator to please! And a performance fuel pump, racing thermostat goes on and on! New injectors fue rail mmmm too many to list
+Adam Woltz All to come... on a mean budget right now. Currently laid off from work 👀... Least I'm getting a little unemployment though
Gerb Productions if were in texas could get you a job easy dang my job is great just my issue ha saving for my si
+Adam Woltz I bet man. What do you do? I will visit Texas one of these days 👌🏼
Gerb Productions manufacturing industrial machining very easy good pay 4000 a month starter job, pay every week.
+Adam Woltz Bro, that's crazy!! Could buy a house the first year lol. How long have you been doing it??
What is that sensor you took off called bro? Or anyone else on here know?
The Red Dawn is back on the road and more stronger than before.How are you? and how's midnight?
Hell yeah, that's what's up! I've been good man, just busy with work. Midnight has been sitting for the past few days :/ Hoping to bring her for a rip soon & do more wrenching ;)
I just installed this exact same condensor in my FA5 about a month ago. My stock one was in far worse condition, almost all the fins in the lower half were missing lol
Upon watching more of your video, it mounts differently in the sedan funny enough.
+MultiChimRichalds nice.... how's this condenser holding up?? Damn, that's not good lol. Believe it or not, my oem one was leaking I think
Gerb Productions it's fine, I had to modify the top mounting points by filing it down to be able to bolt it on. So much for "first time fit" lol..i thought that mine was leaking too so I just tried to remove it without getting the refrigerant evacuated.. big mistake - it covered me full force in oil and refrigerant.
+MultiChimRichalds So much for that fitment lol. Dude, your crazy! I was going to do the same thing myself, but was super sketched out. How bad was it haha? You good?
How much was the condenser?
Where did you buy the condenser??
hi thanks for your videos, i have to change my condesor on a 2001-2006 Honda Civic, could i know wich oil you put in and wich quantity ?
thanks a lot !
Pag 46 oil and about 2.5-3 oz of pag in the condenser. The whole system requires like 5.5oz of pag, compressor has 2.5-3oz of pag in it already.
Yo, I've been watching videos on wrinkle painting valve covers, you should check it out too. Looks hecka easy to do! I just barely started on my Civic. Bumper is now off and my bumper impact frame right there on the front is bent in! Hahahaha... I rear ended this couple on my way down a mountain one day but it didn't do any damage to there vehicle because my license plate pretty much hit straight and matched up with their license plate. It was crazy! Traffic and then my brakes were bad so they didn't stop in time and then BOOM! HIT! Anyways, I'm probably going to wrinkle paint my valve cover. JDM Red!
Dude, I've been wanting to do it for a long time myself ;).... Bro, sorry to hear that, you should gets some performance brake pads. Let me know if you do and you should make a vid ;)
mine still has full of refrigerant, but i think it's clogged. pressure on L when a/c on is about 20, but it's like 100 when it's off. how can i remove the refrigerant fluid first?
Bring it to a shop, have them remove the refrigerant.
Hope the rims are upgraded to light weight wheels to! ( :
+Adam Woltz Been planning on scooping up a set of Rota wheels 👀
I really hope you’ll see this quickly as I need to order them now, could you help me by telling me what size or length exactly the 10mm bolts are, please? If by chance you know the size o rings as well? It would be much appreciated
Can’t answer the first question man. As far as o rings go, type in on eBay, ac condenser o rings kit or something. Should pop up with some options. Did you snap a 10mm or just need new bolts?
Any o ring pack should be universal man. Mine came with the ac compressor that I ordered, so I got lucky.
Maybe I don't understand how the A/C system works. Don't you have to recharge the R-134 after opening the system like this?
You have recover system then add nitrogen to pressure test it and add dye. Then use a vacccum pump to remove any moisture in the system then add pag oil and charge system. There are several steps needed after this is done.
Did you have to get a vacuum before removing the condenser?
Yeah. Mine already leaked out, but get it professionally removed
Hey Gerb did you have to vacuum out the system before installing new freon?
Yes you do 👍🏼
Bro I replace the ac compressor and my a/c is still not working! Do you think that replacing the condenser will make it work?
Condenser could have a leak in it. I’d try replacing condenser then recharging the system, see what happens. Good luck bro 🔧
Was there anything else that needed to be done after the condenser was put in? Such as add Freon or antifreeze/coolant?
You need to add Pag oil into the Condenser
Gerb Productions okay thank you. Did I need to recharge the ac? I see others in videos doing so because their ac isn’t working which is what’s happening with mine.
Hey bro, having touble figuring out the name of the condesor sensor, my orginal one didnt have a sensor so now i just have a dangling plug. What is it called?
da sensor just read da ambient temperature outside da car
did you use leak detector before your replaced the condenser?
No, but i could see the leak on the lower part of my condenser. Then i added refrigerant & it was pissing out of that spot.
Nice !!! 🔥 When You Refilled It With Freon Did You Do It Yourself ?!!
Yes, but it is very easy to over fill.
So You Just Got 134a Cans & Did It .
Nice job bro how much you paid for that condenser and where I can get one? I need I have to remplace my Compressor and that too.
Bought everything on ebay, but I'd recommend rock auto.
@@TheGerbsteve okay thanks
@@TheGerbsteve why you change that part bro? Mine A/c work for like 10 minutes and the compresor never clutch start again
hey bro are these condensers cleanable??? i would replace if its beyond cleaning but idk
I don’t think so bro, I’d just scoop a new one
I don't see why not with some coil cleaner
Whats the pag oil for? Ive got a leak on my ac condenser and it looks like its leaking oil. May have to replace my ac condenser too.
Pag oil is used to lubricate the compressor, condenser, etc.
@@TheGerbsteve did you have to use a vacuum pump after replacing the condensor? Shop quoted me $700 canadian for an condesor replacement. No thanks lol. Ill follow your vid and save $$$
brought it to a local shop so they could evacuate the system. Shops are wayyyy to expensive man. I'm all about saving $$$$ ;)
@@TheGerbsteve thanks ill do the same. Do i just tell the shop that i replaced my condenser and that i need for them to take the air out of the system and refill with freon?
Was 1.5 oz of pag oil the right amount?
If I remember correctly, yes. Make sure it’s pag 46 oil
Do I have to remove the whole front bumper cover?
Makes the job easier
SOAPMAN#4 yes it makes the job lot easier
Gerb, what’s the part # on this denso condenser?
Manufacturer Part Number: W0133-2035158
Gerb, is it bad if you don't add the pag oil 46? My condenser went out as well =[
Are your ac lines still empty in this video?
Yesss
@@TheGerbsteve thank you sir
Is it difficult to remove the crash beam? Just wondering
Pretty sure it's not too bad.. Haven't had to remove it yet though
what rims are those on ur civic
Regular oem honda civic si 06-08 rims
Where did you buy your condenser from?
eBay bro, $60
Gerb Productions I just bought mine from CariD.com. I couldn't wait any longer. Major major tune up is going to happen to my Civic. Here's what I'm replacing; Alternator, condenser, thermostat, water pump, front bumper, hood (maybe), head lights, head lamps, intake, and new wheels. Also, major major part I am doing is the paint. I will link a video of everything I am doing before I start the process. Mad props to you.
Your car is going to love you man haha. What’re you buying for wheels. I can’t wait to get some more stuff for my car now that I’m back to work 💪🏼
Gerb Productions it depends on my paint. If I stick with the original paint (Nighthawk pearl black) or get a totally different paint then that will be the deciding factor. Right now, I'm rocking these motegi's with red lip trim.
Gerb Productions check it out. This is how shitty my Civic looks. Can't wait for this to be fixed!

Should the condenser leak when taking the ac lines off ? I attempted to unbolt mine and it was coming out pretty good
