| Description of the problem | Honda cr-v(2004) a/c compressor: i was driving down the hwy and it sounded as if i had a flat tire, at that point my a/c stopped blowing cold air. I continued driving, thinking that i had to get my a/c recharged. Then i heard a loud clunk, swerved off an exit (my steering wheel locked up) and my car began smoking. I pulled into the nearest parking lot, and discovered that the serpentine belt was broken. The belt broke b/c the compress had exploded, causing the clutch to lock up. The cost of the repair was $1400. The whole system had to be replaced: condenser, compressor, expansion valve. |
