CL-608362 38810-RNA-A02 38810-RNA-A01 12V 7PK AC Compressor for Honda Civic 1.8L 2006–2011

What the 38810-RNA-A02 Honda Civic AC Compressor Does in the 2006–2011 Civic

The Honda Civic AC compressor is the part that makes the air conditioning work in the 2006–2011 Civic 1.8L. Driven by the engine belt, it pressurises the refrigerant and keeps it moving through the system, and without it the rest of the A/C system has nothing to do. The CL-608362 is our replacement unit for the 38810-RNA-A02 compressor, which superseded the earlier 38810-RNA-A01.

When the fault is inside the compressor, the car stops cooling and the workshop replaces the whole unit rather than repairing it. That is the job CL-608362 is made for: a complete, new compressor that goes straight onto the car.

Honda Civic AC Compressor Specifications: 38810-RNA-A02

The CL-608362 Honda Civic AC compressor is a new 12V unit with a 7PK, 100 mm pulley, referenced to OE 38810-RNA-A02 and fitting the 2006–2011 Civic 1.8L. Use the details below to match it to the enquiries you receive and to list it correctly in your own catalogue.

Which Honda Civic Models Does This AC Compressor Fit?

This Honda Civic AC compressor fits the Civic built from 2006 to 2011 with the 1.8L engine, in DX, LX and EX trims, as a sedan or coupe. The Civic Si with the 2.0L engine and the Civic Hybrid use different compressors and are not covered by this model; other Honda models are covered in our wholesale auto AC compressors range. To check a particular model year or trim, contact our sales team or send your vehicle list through the inquiry form.

Why the 2006–2011 Honda Civic AC Compressor Is Worth Sourcing

The 2006–2011 Honda Civic AC compressor is worth sourcing because it serves a very large base of cars that are now old enough to need one, driven by owners who rely on their air conditioning. That combination is what keeps replacement demand coming.

A very large base of cars. Honda sold more than 1.7 million Civics in the United States and nearly 390,000 in Canada from 2006 to 2011, according to GoodCarBadCar’s sales records. One compressor model covers the 1.8L versions across all six model years, so it answers a wide spread of enquiries.

Cars at the age when compressors fail. The average light vehicle in the United States reached a record 12.8 years in 2025, according to S&P Global Mobility, and even the newest of these Civics is older than that. At this age many original compressors reach the end of their life, and the repairs go to independent workshops and the distributors who supply them.

Climates where A/C is a necessity. In hot markets, a car without working air conditioning is hard to drive for much of the year, so owners fix a failed compressor rather than live without it. The longer your hot season, the more often these compressors come up for replacement.

If the Civic of this generation is common where you sell, CL-608362 gives you six model years of demand with one part number.

Finding a Reliable Supplier for the Honda Civic AC Compressor

With steady demand behind these cars, the next question is a supplier who keeps your workshop customers happy without taking up your time. Every CL-608362 is tested on our own line before it ships, not a sample from the batch, so fewer units come back from workshops. Tell us which cars your customers bring in, and we will tell you which compressors, A/C compressor clutches, automotive AC expansion valves and control valves fit them, such as our CL-88522 expansion valve for the Honda Accord, CR-V and Civic, and which are not worth your money.

If some models on your list are ones we don’t make, send us the full list anyway. With more than 15 years in this industry, we know China’s supply market well. We find the product that fits your requirement, explain how the available versions differ in material and price, including when the cheaper one is enough for your customers, and check each one again using our own production experience before it ships together with the rest of your order. You start from 20 pieces per model, with different models in one order, and you get the parts you need with the least effort, through one supplier and one contact.

How Is Every Honda Civic AC Compressor (CL-608362) Tested Before Shipment?

Every CL-608362 Honda Civic AC compressor is tested on our own testing line before it is packed, and every unit goes through it, not a sample from the batch. Each compressor is checked for damage and against the order, leak-tested at the housing joints, shaft seal and refrigerant ports, and checked for clutch engagement and electrical insulation. After a bench run, the model, label and quantity are checked once more, and the refrigerant ports are capped before packing.

The bench run is the step that matters most. A compressor can turn freely by hand and still fail once it is under load, so every unit runs on a test bench that reproduces the temperature and pressure it will face in the Civic’s A/C system, while we check pressure build-up, stable running, noise and vibration. Faults that a quick static check would miss are caught here, not after a workshop has fitted the unit, refilled the system and handed the car back, so fewer units come back to you as claims.

What Happens If Something Goes Wrong With a Honda Civic AC Compressor Order?

We don’t avoid responsibility, and you don’t have to prove whose fault it is before we act. Send us the order reference, how many pieces are affected, the vehicle, and photos or a short video; if you only have part of that, send what you have. You get a first reply within about two hours of our working day. Before anyone discusses the cause, our sales team works through the immediate problem with you: what your customer is waiting for, where the affected goods are, and what you have already promised. That way you have an answer for your own customer straight away.

Once the immediate problem is handled, we check the cause step by step: whether the right compressor was supplied, the product and its transport, the installation, and the rest of the car’s A/C system. We don’t call it a product fault or an installation fault until every step is checked, so the result holds up when you pass it on. We then tell you what we found and whether the rest of the order can stay on sale. Our sales team follows up with you directly to agree the final solution.

Build a Purchase Plan for the Honda Civic AC Compressor

Tell us a little about your market, and we will put together a purchase plan for CL-608362: whether it suits regular repeat orders or works better as one line in a mixed order, what makes sense for a first order, and which other Honda models are worth adding for the same customers. Every unit in that plan is tested before it ships, and any model we don’t make is sourced and checked for you.

To build the plan, three basic details are enough: the product or OE number, the country you sell into, and the quantity you have in mind. If you can also share what the purchase is for, such as reordering a model that already sells or building a wider Honda range, and what you want the project to achieve, the plan can go further than a single price.

If you are not yet sure what to include, our sales team is available to talk it through. We will take the time to understand your situation and recommend the approach that suits your business best.
