correctly & can it effect the ac? Hi, I recently just had my timing belt replaced for my 2002 Honda Civic. However, afterwards I noticed that the air conditioning doesn't work as well as it used to. I don't know if this is because the changing of the timing belt. I had the whole package done at the same time, the water pump, belt, compressor and coolant all changed. I don't know if the solution is simple as adding more anti-freeze or if it was because of all the changes. Now when I use the air conditioner, I have to turn the fan all the way to get an effect like I had it before, when I just had to turn it half way before to get the same results.
I don't know if this can be because of all the changes, but thought that I would ask. I also wanted to know if I should be looking out for anything else, just in case something wasn't done correctly. This is the first time I had my car's timing belt changed, so I have no idea if there is anything to look for. Maybe not nothing is wrong, or maybe something is. Sadly, I have no idea.
Thanks for any advice!
Hi br549, nope, on the work order it definitely says that they changed the compressor and water pump as well- which was all included with the changing of the timing belt. It definitely isn't the hotter weather either, since where I live we have been lucky, we haven't really had much of the summer heat.
I'll probably definitely have to take it back for them to look at. I just know that they turned the heat all the way up in my car, so I turned on the a/c to cool down from all the warm air the heater cranked out, but I drove long enough to know that the a/c was not working as well as it has been. Seeing that I had the a/c going for about half an hour, but it truly wasn't working like it has been. Opening the window helped dispel the heat with all the wind outside, but it is truly weird that the a/c seemed to work almost half of it's efficiency. I may try it again tomorrow because I don't know if having the heater turned on at max heat made the a/c slower to react?
Sorry, it actually says compressor belt.
So to recap, they changed the: timing belt, water pump, PS (power steering) pump belt, compressor belt and coolant.
