Re: '95 850 Seized Compressor?

Y PS: For temp fix, don't turn on the AC, or simply remove the AC relay in the fusebox near driver's side firewall area. Photos in forum. I couldn't find a good picture of the AC relay, and the only thing I saw in the firewall fusebox was a fuse that disabled the whole HVAC...I pulled the glovebox ...

Re: '95 850 Seized Compressor?

...When the compressor on my 1990 240 gave out, it spit a bunch of metal shavings out and trashed the entire system. In the Honda world, this is known as "Black Death"...lol. One of the main reasons I quit looking for an 02-06 CR-V a few years back, way too many with either broken A/C or ...

Re: '95 850 Seized Compressor?

If the compressor grenaded internally then the whole system needs to be flushed. According to Jimmy, you can't flush condenser coil so it would need to be replaced. The flush chemicals are pretty expensive but at least they have them in a version that doesn't require a whole flush kit and an air co...

Re: '95 850 Seized Compressor?

240k on the car currently...is it possible to pull a fuse to temporarily disable the compressor so I can use defrost until I can replace the belt? The pulley on the compressor seems to have a decent amount of play now, do those actually fail on these?

'95 850 Seized Compressor?

Hey guys, So my 850 has been more or less parked since November for "winter storage" but hasn't totally been parked since I'm waiting to be able to take it to my aunts for covered garage storage. It gets driven at least once a week for a good amount to get all the bits moving. One bit that...

Re: 09 S60 vs 05 S40

Well false alarm...the S60 was sold before I could back to look at it again and the S40 was a complete turd despite all the records that came with it, not even in the same league as the S60.

09 S60 vs 05 S40

Hey guys, So I'm officially looking for a new daily driver to supplement my current 850 which is poorly executing it's responsibilities on my commute to work.
