BLACK EM1 & Air conditioning

**mimps** · 21-10-2007 12:36 AM

Does anyone find the air cond for this particular car cr@p or not particularly great?
I've had my car for 4.5 yrs now, and all this time I've always thought that this was normal for the civic.
I recently had it looked at and the guy says my thermostat is stuffed.
I mean, it's cool but i'll still be uncomfortable on a 30+ day
anyone with a Black EM1 in the same situation?

I dont think colour would make to much of a differance but my ej8 is fine. I just bumb it up if i get a lil warm but i havnt owned the car through a typical QLD summer yet.

is it when you stop start?
because if you dont have ur AC fan working it could cause it to go hot cold as you stop start in traffic

i think it cost me all up around 700 with a re-gas on the new compressor..
it is now alot colder than before because it was a reconditioned compressor
