Do i need my air condition refilled?

I remembered on my old mustang when the air condition compressor would cut on and off all the time with the AC on, then it means that its low on coolant.

Is it the same on the honda fit? Is it time that i go get my coolant refilled? Iam at a stop light and i can gear the compressor come in and out. or when iam at the drive thru at some fast food place.

No you don't need to add refrigerant. You probably didn't notice it cycling when it was new, it's normal.

You don't lose any refrigerant over time unless there's a leak in the system. And if there's a leak in the system, then you need to repair it and then refill the refrigerant.

The Honda A/C cycles on and off.


The Mustang, probably didn't (it is a different type of control system, once engaged the compressor stays on)


At least, that's the way it was with our former '88 Mustang.
