AC in car works fine around 70 degrees fahrenheit but when it gets really warm it just blows hot air. What is wrong with my car?

2008 Honda Civic ex coupe

The 134a charge is too low from normal slow leakage.

Charge is likely low. See a car AC shop.

You may just need a re-gas, but get an auto electrician to check your system to find out why the gas needs topping up.

One thing you can do first is make sure the radiator is clean, not full of bugs. Clean gently. Don't poke it, or puncture it.

Can't inspect it from here. Take it to a shop.

The AC system needs to be recharged. It's out of the juice that makes the air it blows cold. It needs the juice refilled. Take it to a mechanic and tell them you want your AC system recharged.

Hi it is not working as it should chances are re-gas is required.

It DOES NOT require an A/C recharge, I have a Honda accord and had the exact same thing. My car would blow cold air like no other on the typical day but when it got over 90 degrees it wouldn't blow anything other than hot air. Its because somehow my A/C became over pressurized so I had to let out a little bit. Its as simple as letting air out of a tire just don't let the A/C touch your hand. But if you under pressurize it then you'll have to buy a recharge so take it slow.

  • Why does AC quit cooling on 2011 Honda CRV? Seems to be working fine- then hot air? The wife complained yesterday- so I checked ut. Its has freon in it. Pressure check was in the green. Blowing cool. Again today she calls- it started blowing hot air again. Could it be something beside the compressor?
  • Why does my honda Civic heater just blows somewhat warm air? I have a 98Civic Lx and the heater use to work great about a month ago it use to blow hot air to when it would be to hot but now it just blows warm air but mostly cold what can be the problem, the fuses are good!
  • Drivers side window rolls up really slowly or gets suck? I have a 05 honda civic ex. The window rolls down fine. But coming back up is really slow then when it hits a little more than half way it gains speed when closing. Once in a blue moon it gets stuck coming up maybe 7 inchs of the window is up. Only way i have fixed this was by just yanking it up with my hands and it starts working again. I have tried getting a spray bottle to lubricate in inside of the window (not wd40). But it did not work. Any ideas?
  • How lease works? How much around would it cost me to lease a car. FIRST CAR? I'm a youngster fresh out of university into my second year of a good full time job. I'm a bit confused about leasing. Honda claims to charge 45 weekly on an ad for a civic, but this seems way to cheap to be true. What is the catch/extra cost on a lease? P.S I'm also weighing the option of buying a used car, but don't want to risk repair costs.
