Yes, using low-quality o r incorrect refrigerants can damage the AC system and reduce cooling performance. Substandard refrigerant may not have the right properties to function effectively in the Honda City’s AC system, leading to poor cooling o r system failure. It’s important to ensure that refrigerant refills are done with the correct type and grade of refrigerant, which is typically R-134a for many Honda City models. Owners should only use reputable workshops that adhere to manufacturer specifications to ensure they’re getting the right refrigerant.
