    Cooling System

    The air conditioner on my 2003 honda civic si stopped working suddenly after a loud breaking sound came out of the car.

    Cooling System

    In august of 2006 my vehicle overheated for the first time. I promptly took it in and they fixed an "air hose leak". After that my car overheated every few weeks without warning and after coolant had been found leaked into the engine a new thermostat was installed.
