vs
AC compressor OEM Honda or OEM Subaru
Reviews
I had one for seven years and 80k miles and the only problem I had was the A/C compressor. It was two years out of warranty and Honda went 50/50 with me on it. I drove the piss out of it, multiple trips to the redline every day, etc., and it was flawless mechanically and never burned oil or made any unhappy noises.
Pros: flawless mechanically, never burned oil
Cons: weak A/C, high revs
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 128747 km
The only problem I've had with my recently acquired 2014 XV is that it still has the old version of the ac compressor, which isn't a cheap fix. AC still works intermittently, though, I just have to toggle it on and off every few minutes.
Cons: AC works intermittently
Vehicle:
Subaru XV
With the air conditioning shutting off after driving probably gonna need to replace the compressor. Issue with almost all subarus from 2015-2017. And the hesitation when going into reverse is normal, cvts tend to be delayed.
Cons: AC shutting off, common issue
Vehicle:
Subaru
Took my 2017 Hatchback in two weeks ago, they replaced the compressor under warranty. AC lasted a week before blowing hot air again. Brought it back, now they say the evaporator needs to be replaced for $2100.
Cons: compressor failed quickly, evaporator needs replacement
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
In my situation, at 3 years and 33k miles my AC compressor when out with a leak (very well known issue). It was not covered by the 3 year 30k warranty and Honda quoted me $3k+ to fix. I said no and went to a third-party repair place that fixed it for $1,700.
Cons: compressor when out with leak
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 53108 km
My 2016 wrx has an AC compressor fit for a small drawer or shitty wine fridge. In the summer I can have the AC in full blast for the whole ride and the car never cools off. :(
Cons: car never cools off
Vehicle:
Subaru
