Multiple issues after installing oil cooler, intercooler, and radiator

[cryptolime]

i don't see how those mods could create a leak in the a/c condenser unless you damaged it during installation

The FK8 had two rad fans, right? That's why they think you removed one on your FL5.

they have access to all of Honda's service manuals. they could have looked...

There has to be more than issue. Trying to imagine what these issues could have in common. Is there a sensor they share, somehow?

Based on the receipt, California it seems.

Did not look at those good catch! I see dealer and I don’t look at it.

Wanted to see if he was close, but Palmdale is quite a driver from Orlando.

Willow Springs is indeed your home track!

That was so elementary. You failed at Detective 101

Right now my brain is so fried I can barely think. It’s been like this for the past 2 months, medical boards are literally draining the life from me.

You can do it. Hang in there.

Nevermind, you did the PRL charge pipes, so you would have needed to remove the battery for the installation. I'd recommend buying a cheap code scanner if you don't have one already. I also suspect, as I've seen this before, that you may have a boost leak, and this will certainly cause a check engine light. The clamps for the PRL kit have to be really tight against the silicone hoses in order to keep them from leaking. Soapy water and a boost leak tester would do the trick for locating a possible leak should the code return, and I suspect it will return.

OP, don't overlook this point. I once changed out my turbo inlet pipe on my 10th gen. Started it up and immediately got all sorts of warnings similar to the ones you had. I got out of the car wondering WTF I did to screw things up. I'm scratching my chin literally looking at the floor thinking and see a gasket laying there. Turns out it had fallen off my pipe and I had a boost leak as a result. Pull everything apart and put the gasket in its proper place. Put it together and started it up and boom-all warnings gone.

Medical school? Certification? I’m in the med field too!

Yeah, finally finishing up this long journey to start residency.

@BuntaTypeR Did they fix your condenser leak? I had the same exact leak on mine and had it replaced under warranty by Lancaster Honda. I only had 300 miles on the car at the time. PM me if you need help getting them to fix it.

Don't go to Palmdale Honda, they're crooks.

the code hasn't come back once the dealer clears the code. Although, they refuse to fix the AC problem since they blame the modified radiator.

i bought an OBD reader just in case I see that engine light again.

I have to make some calls and drive more than an hour for a Honda dealership to agree on fixing the AC leak.

I would show them the photo that @Dollabillplz has kindly shared and claim it as a common fault.

I do have to agree, it's easy to point the finger at aftermarket mods when you're in the dealers position (I have been there) but one must consider that this leak is caused by a manufacturing fault and not user error.

There is literally zero damage to the condenser. They cannot deny warranty in this case. It's clearly leaking from the plastic plug on the bottom of the condenser. There aren't any tool marks or any other disturbances. These cars use POE oil and it's known to be tough on seals.
