...uses and where I ca n buy a charge kit. Thanks.

A Honda dealer, and I doubt if you can do it yourself--rules regarding freon.

To replace the freon, you need some very specialized equipment to be able to drain the system, vacuum it down, dry it out, and then put in the replacement freon. The machine that does this is over $1000. It's cheaper to go to the dealer and have them deal with it.

actually they made where you don't have to certified to put the freon in your vehicle but you can ask the dealership or your local parts store

Take to any garage that does A/C work...you will need R-134a type of freon.....R-12 is for older pre 80's vehicle's. You will need the system drained & checked for leak's (the garage will do) BEFORE any freon is added....To anyone with a R-12 system: they make retrofit kit's for R-134a

yes your honda uses r-34a . this must be done a licensed shop or what ever the rules are in your state. oh and by the way some shops and dealerships and recycle r-34a in which i recommend

needs to be taken to the dealer there must be a leak if your having problems with freon and there are laws regarding freon.. takes r34 as i said being a 2002 there is a leak and need a surtain amount of pressure

It probably takes R134-A refrigerant. You can buy it at Wal-Mart. Look under the hood for a sticker that tells what kind it takes and how much. If it needs refrigerant, that means there is a leak. You really need to take it somewhere and get that fixed. Unless you have some kind of extended warranty on your car, you should take it somewhere like Tires Plus or Tire Kingdom. The dealership will charge more.
