Do you notice any reduced airflow from the vents and/or the blower changing its sound after running the system for 15 mi...

Ice on pipe from evaporator

This evaporator was installed less than one year ago, because the previous evaporator was leaking. The A/C has been working since then, but has never been strong, which, I thought, wa...

Aftermarket A/C compressor for 2002 Honda Civic SI

I own a 2002 Honda Civic SI (the hatchback model with the 2.0 VTEC engine, different from all other Civic).

The OEM compressor is made by Honda (or Honda put its name on It, if it is made by somebody else)

What would be a good aftermarket compressor to use for replacement?

Thanks

Oil was not added - The second time it was determined that the evaporator was leaking and it was replaced. I don’t know if oil was adde...
