Did the new compressor come pre-filled with oil or did you have to add it to the compressor and do you need to replace the dryer in the line since you opened the system ?
It came with some oil in it but I topped it off before installing it, and it is always a good idea to replace the dryer every time you mess with the ac system. I replaced the condenser and dryer in another video.
@@TheMileHighMechanic how long did the total service take and what was the total material cost? It's blowing hot air and shop says it needs the new ac condenser compressor and some other stuff
Hi..where you buy that compresor.that is original or copy.??
It is an OEM replacement part that I got from Parts Geek, it came as a set. Here is the part number: 18780-05858781
do you have to drain any freon or anything like that in this procedure?
Yes and you will need to refill it after.
Do you have a video on how to drain the lines, I have the machine, and the gauges, but have no idea how to use them
Change your title. It's misleading. It's 06-11 not 05-12
Oops thanks for catching that

@@seattleprowash5464 I purchased a kit that had the compressor and condenser for around 250-300 I think and it took me a day to swap everything out.
How does it work now. Does it make noises and did the gas mileage drop cause the aftermarket resistance
@@cognac8297 Nope, runs perfectly...like new!
What is the brand of the ac compressor?
Everything I swapped out AC-wise was from UAC. I got a condenser and compressor kit from them off of parts geek.
How long does this usually take on a 2011 Honda Civic typically??
Of course it depends on experience, but it took me maybe 4 hours of actual work.
@@TheMileHighMechanic you're saying this video was 4 hours? That's insane dude lol.
@@seattleprowash5464 I work at a leisurely pace, but if I had to do it fast I could do it in 1.
You need to correct the title of video as this does not apply to 2005 civic. The 2005 is 7th gen. 2006 is 8th gen civic.
I have, thanks for noticing
Are you In Colorado? Would you consider replacing mine?
I am, however, I do not have the tools to fill the system back up with freon.
