Year: 1997
Make: Honda
Model: Accord
Engine Size: 2.4 4 c
Refrigerant Type: 134a
Country of Origin: United States
Decreasing performance of AC on 1997 accord. Added a dose of UV dye and found Leaks as Follows
Where suction hose couples to compressor
around the manifold on the compressor
Where high pressure hose couples to condenser block
Have small leak in condenser where a tube goes from the inlet block to the condenser itself
Everything else looks good.--- I dont have a sniffer
I know that I will have to replace the condenser(looks pretty beat up anyway)
Should I also think about the compressor? It seems to be working but it is 12 yrs old
If I do the compressor I think that I would flush the system and replace the txv
Cant locate the drier-- where is it?
Is it difficult to access the evaporator on this car?
Have the tools needed to do this thanks to AMA saving me a bunch of money on a compressor replacement a couple of years ago.
Great forum and company-- Thanks for the help
Nylog, O-rings and possibly replace the condenser. Few ounces of oil and let the compressor run until it dies.

Another repair completed courtesy of the board and AMA making me look like a pro--with the wife anyway. Air works great..THANKS AGAIN
Glad to help and thanks for the support!
