AC Repair, The Hard Way

This is another video in my Used Car Experiment Series where I’m taking an older used car to see if I can make something comparable to a newer used car with a warranty.

In this installment I tackle the AC system. The entire AC system. It is comprehensive and complete especially if you’re looking for information on the 2nd generation Honda CR-V.
