Just got my car back. 1400 out the door, with a 2 year warranty for the AC components. All oem Honda new. Pretty freaking happy. Thought it was gonna be way worse.

 

Interresting. Where is this Dealership?
Thanks

Got it done within a day, working great been blasting AC all day. Paperwork with warranty.

 

Search OfferUp and Facebook marketplace for used parts . People part these guys out all the time. You can probably get the entire AC system for a couple hundred bucks from a guy on there. OEM parts off a wrecked vehicle.

 

Great, that you got the AC working. Congrats of the new car!

 

Mine is one owner, black 09 autosport 120k. AC had to be replaced by honda due to a bad AC clutch of some sort.
AC is evidently a common problem with the 2nd gen.
Cost shy of $1000 for Honda to fix. According to them, evidently replacing JUST the clutch is more difficult and expensive than just doing a whole new AC. Quoted over $1200.
Now blows like a champ.

 

What do you mean with whole new AC? I would assume they replaced just the compressor with the clutch. Not condenser, evaporator, dryer and lines.
