A/C doesn't work when the car is getting warm and outside is warm too - FN2

Messages

I'm mention that in the morning or when is cold, the A/C works fine.
But when the weather is geeting warm outside, the A/C stop working properly.

I speicify that last year I already changed the relay.
Then I would say that the relay can not be since A/C sometimes is working.

Any idea what else could be?

Thanks.
 
Does the A/C kick in at all, as in you can hear the engine labour ever so slightly when the A/C motor increases resistance?

The motor itself has a clutch that can fail. You could also be low in refrigerant. I had several re-gasses including ones with dye, but it ended up having to have a specialist out with a full leak test to identify the condenser had leak that just wasn't showing up with the dye...
 
Does the air con fan kick in when you select A/C and can you see physically that the condenser is spinning? I recently had exactly the same problem and fixed it my self by doing the following.
Replaced the relay with a genuine Honda one ( denso )
Checked no air con fuses had blown
Purchased this kit from Ebay :

Follow the instructions which are really easy. This kit does really work. The sealer gas, seals O rings ect
Then Regas with the supplied gas and then mine worked perfectly and ice cold.
It comes with the gauge and hose kit ect.

Hope this helps.
 
Meanwhile it has turned out that the issue is coming from A/C compressor.
I need a new one, or at least the clutch.
I see that the cost for a genuine one is approx. 1k EUR.

Does anyone used a non-OEM one? Any recommendation for a non-OEM?
