Is the Honda Civic EX air conditioner working?

How much does it cost to replace air conditioner in Honda Civic?
Their guess is the compressor most likely went bad and left shavings of metal into the system. $3,700 to replace the whole system which is probably 40% of worth value.
What should I do if my Honda Civic is running hot?
Inspect the engine. A Civic’s engine lies alongside the A/C setup under the hood, so if you can’t find anything wrong with the freon levels or the compressor, you may need to consider a different source. If you discover that the engine is running hot, its proximity to the A/C will negatively affect the system’s cooling capacity.
What kind of Freon does a Honda Civic use?
Depending on the year of your Civic, the A/C may use R12 freon. Don’t attempt to adjust the level of this freon yourself, as it requires special tools that prevent the freon from being released into the atmosphere. It’s illegal to purchase R12 freon without a license and doing so carries a hefty fine.

Why does my Honda Civic AC shut down?
If the A/C system has too little or too much Freon, the high or low side valve will shut the system down to prevent damage to the compressor. If this is the case, a very expensive reclaimer must be used to adjust the Freon level. An ASE technician certification and a MACs card is needed to own one so it must go to a shop for further diagnosis.
