2008 rdx 200k miles, the A/C recently started to turn off only blowing warm and cold air intermittently. When the cold does come on, it blows cold like everything is fine, but it's pretty inconsistent, sometimes not working for longer periods, and recently it's actually been working most of the time, but still will blow hot sometimes for long car rides.
Somethings I've noticed:
- Most of the time it will blow cold when first stating a trip (usually when engine is cold like the first drive of the day, but only blows cold about 5-10 minutes if it isn't one of those days it lasts 30-45+ minutes)
- I personally didn't check the refrigerant myself but the owner checked it and says it's fine.
- when it blows warm the fan clutch isn't engaged
- sometimes when it's been blowing warm it will start to blow cold when driving but only for a minute or two then goes back to warm.
So if anyone has any suggestions or ideas or knows of something that is known to go bad that would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for any help!
