The A/C compressor on the Honda Civic is the belt-driven, clutch-equipped pump that compresses and circulates the refrigerant so the system can cool the cabin. It runs a 12V electromagnetic clutch and PAG oil, which means an R-134a system. This is a used compressor, clutch tested where possible before it ships.
The most important note is fitment. Civic AC compressors vary widely by year, generation, and engine, and the live title had no year at all. The page also contradicted itself: the 'Fits' section lists 1.8L or 2.0L engines (which point to a modern Civic, roughly 2006 onward, such as the 1.8L R18 or a 2.0L K20/R20 in the Si), while the compatibility field said '1972 Honda Civic'. The 1972 entry is almost certainly auto-filled and wrong, so do not rely on it. Confirm your exact year, generation, and engine by VIN before ordering.

| Vehicle | Compatibility |
|---|---|
| Honda Civic | Confirm exact year, generation, and engine by VIN |
| Engine note | 1.8L or 2.0L point to a modern Civic; the '1972' listing is almost certainly wrong |
This A/C compressor is offered for the Honda Civic, but the correct compressor depends on the year, generation, and engine, so confirm by VIN at order. The live '1972' compatibility entry contradicts the 1.8L/2.0L engine listing and should not be relied on. We disclose the donor details before shipping.
