AC compressor OEM Honda or OEM Subaru
Reviews
We have a 2010 CR-V with 200k miles. It’s been the most absolutely reliable and capable vehicle we’ve ever owned. We live in MN, an it has always gone everywhere we needed with zero problems.
Pros: reliable and capable vehicle
Cons: AC compressor replaced
Vehicle:
Honda
Mileage: 321869 km
After determining the root cause of the noise being the A/C compressor, I did indeed cut the belt right off...Success! The screeching sound stopped immediately.
Pros: screeching sound stopped
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I have a 2015 OB, just surpassed 200k. This car has gone coast to coast, up to the Great Lakes, across to PA, through the desert, everywhere, all for DOG SHOWS and sports. The past 6 weeks I had two trips to TN, one to MO, and one to KY. It has hair in it that’ll never get out again, but I bought this vehicle to haul them as well as equipment and people. Worst thing to happen to it is my AC went out this year (I live in Texas) and I had to get a new compressor for it.
Pros: reliable, good for hauling
Cons: AC went out
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Mileage: 200000 km
It’s honestly pretty fun to drive, but just know that insurance and gas aren’t cheap, and parts can get expensive if you don’t have a warranty. About two months into owning it, my AC compressor and condenser had to be replaced.
Pros: pretty fun to drive
Cons: parts can get expensive
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 86000 km
I’ve had some cheapo parts store compressor in there since and it’s surprisingly still going fine. Though it was never as cold as the original.

Right at 5k miles the AC Compressor stopped working. Took it to the dealer and they replaced the Compressor. 3 weeks later, 5,600 miles, hot air blower out the vents again. Again they replace the Condensor, Compressor. All under warranty... 4 AC Compressors. When we got rid of it in 2019, the APP and the AC stopped working for the 4th time.
Cons: repeated failures, stopped working
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Mileage: 5000 km
She's replaced the compressor, condensor, AC recharged then a year or so later once again blowing hot air (we're in TX). Spoke to the mechanic right now & he said the compressor clutch is not kicking in because it's not receiving the ground signal from the engine computer.
Cons: blowing hot air, clutch not engaging
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
