Punctured Condenser
2001 Honda Civic EX: I pulled a piece of road debris out of my condensor and noticed around the same time my AC no longer blows cold air. Obviously I'm assuming I have a punctured condenser that needs to be replaced. Is this hard to do? Is that all that needs to be replaced? Obviously the refrigerant needs to be replaced. I couldn't find any DIY on this.

Re: Punctured Condenser
You need to replace the condenser: http://www.hondapartscheap.com/find-...RONT%20FENDERS and the dryer bottle since the system was opened (number 7): http://www.hondapartscheap.com/find-...ES%20-%20PIPES
-Make sure you have a wrench on both sides of the connection so you don't twist and ruin a pipe
-Once you have the parts replaced you need to have the system vacuumed down to get rid of any residual moisture. And if they're gonna be vacuuming it down you might as well let them fill it with refrigerant so you know you have the correct amount.
