Air Cond

LOUMAY

MEMBER
HONDA ACCORD

HI there I have a 1996 hoday accord 2.0i es and it has done 124k miles. The problem is that when I put the air conditioning loses water from somewhere and causes the car to over heat and we don't know why, it does the same symptoms as if it was the radiator burst but only happens when the air con is on. Please if you can suggest any help as my hubby is good with cars.

Read your post again and you will see that we don't have answers to that off the top of our head. We have no clue where the oil is coming from. Without that information no one can tell you what the damage to the vehicle and your pocket book will be.

Her is my two cents worth. There is a leak in the cooling system for the car. The extra pull on the engine makes it increase the heat and it takes more to cool it. The heat expands something letting out coolant and letting air into the system. The air in the system decreases the boiling point of the system. It gets hot and the air in the system does not allow it to work as it was designed. Check for a leak at the radiator, even a small crack. If nothing is found has be gotten the engine good and warm with the radiator cap off to see if there is any bubbling? You could have the early stages of a head gasket failure.
