Car Forum / Honda Cars / May 20061995 Honda Accord AC Problem.
Hi, I have a 1995 Honda Accord LX with 140k miles on it. The vehicle is smooth and good except for the AC, which failed twice. I took it to the reapir shop twice once last year and once the year before, but both the times it seemed to work for sometime (6 months) - before it failed again. Im not a do-it-yourself type of guy - Can anyone in this forum refer a good service shop or a AC mechanic in Dallas, Tx? Thanks, RK This sounds like a leak which the shops aren't finding. They charge the system with refrigerant, and it works for six months, but then all the refrigerant leaks out. There are really only two likely sources of a leak in a system like this--O-rings and the compressor seal. Next time, ask the mechanic to replace all the O-rings in the system, before recharging it.

And if one is bad, the rest are getting ready to go bad.
