Howsit fellow Fit freaks,
I bought my first fit about a month ago, loving it to bits.
I had my ac compressor replaced last week, & I noticed the following few days that when I have the ac on & fan speed 1 or 2, I feel a brief slight loss in power under load at various speeds for about 1 second, at carious intervals when ac conoressor goes on & off. I don't recall the car doing that with the original ac compressor in & the AC on. Is it pretty normal for aftermarket compressors to do that?
Also when doing 55-65mph & switching from a tar/asphalt road surface to concrete, (where off ramps & onramps usually meet), I feel like the front of the car has a slight hop to it as if I was running cut springs to a certain degree.

Thanks inadvanced for your expertise.

 

I have a GK5, and it is clearly noticeable when the AC compressor switches on. Especially in hot weather, when the pressure in the AC circuit is higher and it takes more power from the engine. Maybe the old compressor in your car couldn't create the full power anymore or maybe the amount of refridgerant was on a low side. Then it would have taken less power from the engine and also the cooling capacity is lower.

 

Thank you very much for your reply. Appreciate it. I suppose I'll just have to love it hey .

Have a blessed day & week ahead.

 

Wheel hop indicative of worn shocks. Check for cupping, replace as necessary

 

That was initially my thought, but it doesn't happen on Tared/asphalt surfaces though, only concrete, and only between 55-75mph 🤔. Both honda dealerships i took it to said only the rear shocks shows signs slight fluid leak, but not the front...

 

Concrete roads are very slippery, especially when wet. Even if they do grooves in the concrete to improve traction.
