| Description of the problem | I was driving about 30 mph and heard a loud bang coming from the front of the car. The air conditioning started to blow hot air . I pulled over and found upon opening the hood that oil from the a/c compressor had been forced out of the compressor on to the engine. I brought the honda crv to my service station immediately. Upon their inspection, they found that the a/c compressor had exploded,sending refrigerant oil and pieces of the compressor housing down to the ground under the front tire. The repairs needed were a new a/c compressor,condensor,a/c hoses,expansion valve at a cost of twelve hundred dollars. |
