Honda aircon specialist

[prodigy]

Hi guys,

Dad's 96 CRV needs some serious aircon checking. At full blast, you could barely feel any air coming out. The air is cold but seems to me its not blowing strong enough. I suspect there's some blockage somewhere, it feel like there is one because there's a loud fan sound when i open the glove compartment. Is there like a filter or something like that behind the glove compartment?

Anyways, appreciate some feedback where i can find a good aircon specialist around Klang/PJ area.

bro.. i guess one of ur aircond hose's fallen off? that's y u didnt feel the aircond cold? .. my prelude.. on my right side panel got aircond vent then near my sidewindows also got vent.. the other day i accidently kicked things below my steering rack.. then i dont feel any air thru my vent..

then i bend down to check.. i see my rubber aircond hose didnt connect.. its fallen.. so i stick it back.. then its ok .. until now..

i guess u need 2 bend down first to check the black aircond hose,then try to fix it back.. if ur hose seems in its place.. then it means that ur aircond is in major problem.. hav u check ur gas?

i could recommend u my mech.. its in shah alam sec25 sri muda.. he tunes honda vtec engine.. as well as my vtec too .. he's good.. maybe i could recommend u?

Unlikely that me or my dad kicked anything. There's air, though very little. Very very likely its congested somewhere but cannot be no gas coz the air is cold.

I'd be more than happy if you let me know your mechanic place. My own car, a Civic also needs a new place to service. Quite fedup with the service centre simple because they're not expert enough and very expensive. My last service, i had no choice but to replace a freaking absorber bush for like 90 bucks. Outside, i'm sure it cost like 30 to 50 bucks only. When he showed me that rubber piece that cost 90 bucks, i nearly cried. Besides, i think i need to change timing belt,aircon belt and so on. Almost 130,000KM and its still the original belt and its giving some weird sound now. From your experience, how much they charge?

There are lot of flaps with sponge thing in the blower and the center core and maybe one of the flap is not working so it blocks the air from coming out. These flaps are used to control the direction of air flow so that it can be adjusted to flow out from your center vent, side vent, windshield vent or the bottom floor vent.

Do check the module of your blower as well because it's the place where it controls the amount of air flow coming out from the vent.

Hikaru,
Do i need to remove the dashboard and so on? If so, then i rather send to the shop to do it. Further its my dads car. I've got this really bad habit, i can't assemble back something which i took off. Hehehe. Same thing happened when i took out my own car's centre console. After trying to fix back, i found the fitting is not right, some extra screws came out and there's some clicking sound from somewhere.

mrbear,
OK, can you give me directions to his place. My fan belt sound is getting quite unbearable. Afraid the timing belt suddently pecah, then have to buy new half cut man. I need a reliable and experience mechanic in Honda cars but obviously don't charge a bomb. Those Amoil, N1RACING and other tuning house are a bit off my budget la. No doubt they add performance but its just not my budget.

Aiyo, tomorrow not free la.

Maybe you can roughly tell me how to get there, say from KESAS highway. Next week i'll be off so most likely i'll get my car serviced.
