Quietest this topic has been in a while. No one saying they lost their AC. Apparently no one is using their AC during winter...even though you should to keep it functioning properly.   Will there be a rash of compressor failures in the spring?

#1047 of 1372 2004 Honda CRV EX-L - Worth it with AC issues? by kaya25 Feb 12, 2009 (7:12 am)
Hi - I am new to the forum. I am researching a car for my wife. She needs 4WD and some cargo space and the CRV was high on our radar until I came across this forum. There are a couple 2004 CRVs in the area, but if this AC problem is not an if but when issue, it seems we should be looking elsewhere.   The one I am most interested in is a 2004 EX-L with about 50K miles. Any input appreciated. Thanks. Replies to this message: madams1 (Feb 13, 2009 11:01 am) blueiedgod (Feb 17, 2009 9:54 am)

Replying to: kaya25 (Feb 12, 2009 7:12 am) I have a 2003 with 87K and the only problem so far is the throttle body sensor went bad. The problem is on the 2003 the whole throttle body has to be replaced. Mine was under extended warranty, but I was told it would have been a costly repair. I mentioned the compressor issue to my mechanic at a shop that specializes in Honda and Acura and he said that in the summer, he sees about 2 or 3 CRV's that need a new compressor. So far he has not seen one that exploded and ruined the whole system.   I love driving the CRV and sure your wife will also. Be sure to get good tires if they need replacing.

Replying to: steve_ (Feb 10, 2009 9:18 pm) I was thinking that it did also. Perhaps a mechanic or someone with more knowledge could tell us.

Or, if the bumpers match the body color, it is a grey market Canadian Import.
#1051 of 1372 Does anyone know where to find the compressor part number? by w1john Mar 01, 2009 (3:47 pm)
Does anyone know where the compressor is located in the engine compartment, and where on the compressor I can find the part number. My question is in reference to the following message that I came accrossed: "CHECK AND SEE IF YOU HAVE A UPDATED COMPRESSOR PART NUMBER 38810-PNB-006 SHOULD BE ON THE COMPRESSOR OTHERWISE YOU MAY WANT TO REPLACE YOUR COMPRESSOR WITH NEW MODEL BEFORE YOUR OLD IT COMPRESSOR BLOWS".   Thanks in advance!

#1053 of 1372 2003 with a bad compressor by beyondoil Mar 29, 2009 (12:26 pm)
Well it took a little longer for ours to go bad. It has 83K miles and even though we bought the CRV used, it has performed quite well up to this point. The bad thing is that we have to replace a badly designed compressor with another. Why of why hasn't the design of this compressor been fixed so we won't have to go though all of this again. It isn't exactly easy to change the compressor as it is way down below everything else. I am going to do it myself as I want to make sure it is done right and I want to change the serpentine belt.   The best place to own one of these CRV's would be in Alaska so you wouldn't need air conditioning.   Daniel Replies to this message: steve_ (Mar 29, 2009 7:33 pm)
