Honda FRV problems


Recommended Posts

We have just had the family FRV re-gassed as the air con wasn't cold, well it still isn't cold and the people who re-gassed it haven't got a clue what to do next, so does anyone have any idea what else it could be?

I have noticed that if you put the air con on you get no raise in the revs etc like it does on the Supra, I'm clutching at straws but I know there are some very diverse people on here :)

If the revs aren't changing then the system must have a leak. There is a pressure switch fitted in the system on the pipe somewhere and if there isnt enough gas in the system it won't fire up.

There is a dye kit you can put through the system and it should show up where the leak is. My money would be on the air con radiator as they are prone to be punctured with stones or corrode in the corners.

Put it in somewhere that knows what they are doing,a/c systems are pretty straight forward and a leak should be easy to spot with the dye.

It is quite rare for the compressor to give up it is usually the piping joints or the radiator, hope that helps.
