NHC A/c Problem

dkarthikkeyan · 7th March 2011, 16:59

Hi,

I have a NHC 2004 1.5 Exi model and had driven over 48K kms. Everything is fine till last week of Feb, now i could see a strange problem where my a/c is not working after some run in time. When i start my car the a/c is fine and after driving some time for around 15/30minutes with low gear(1/2) i could feel only the hot dry air coming out of the vents and i feel the fan is running and i presume the a/c is not working and immediately switched off the a/c. I don't hear any strange noise or any thing weird all i could feel is dry air coming out of blower.When i switch off the car for around 15minutes and take it again it works fine. What could be the problem, do i need to watch out for anything specific.
gas refilling
change compressor/condenser
Compressor clutch and bearing check
or anything

Gone through few forums from google search and ruled out going to Honda showroom as they will definitely ask me to change the entire set and rip off 40K.

can anyone point me to the right direction and any specialist/good a/c mechanics in chennai is welcome.

Have the Compressor checked; most probably it would need a refrigerant refill. Since the blower is working but dry air is coming out, something must be wrong with the Compressor.

Also check if there is a leak somewhere.

You could always show it to Honda first; get a diagnosis and then decide if you want to actually carry out the repairs.
