Just going through and fixing a bunch of things on my mums 89 prelude. I went down to get a quote on getting the aircon regassed or serviced, and was told that its a common problem as the compressors are made poorly. Apart from being slightly un-useful and telling me the only real solution is to buy a 2000 onwards model. He also said there is no aftermarket units available, and reconditioning it will not fix it long term.

I find it a little hard to accept that there is no aftermarket solution if this is the case, than no oem unit will change over for a relatively low cost, and that honda had a fundamental problem with its aircon units for over 10 years.

What are my options, taking in to account that the car was under 2500 to buy.

Cheers

South Australia has heaps of old hondas, so we might be able to source a good condition 89 air compressor (or one that fits) for your car. Contact details at http://www.japspares.webs.com

Otherwise your options are windows down, or sell the car.

Good Luck mate.
