Koktong2000 Neutral Newbie March 20, 2013 Share March 20, 2013 Anyone know what is the market rate of changing ac compressor oil ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger21 Clutched March 20, 2013 Share March 20, 2013 Happened to my car... Went to Mark Cool, found my Radiator fan failing. Its supposed to have two speed, but the low speed one (car idle to low speed) failed/stop. When accelerate, the fan higher speed turn works. So maybe just open up your bonnet and see if the radiator fan is running @ idle. Accelerate and see if it runs. Cost me $380 to replace. Believe Mark Cool marked up at least 50%. So check it out, confirm, buy from stocklist then get workshop to replace the motor. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyowner Neutral Newbie April 3, 2013 Share April 3, 2013 Intermidiate problem is coming back , but it only happen if I go JB , under long jam , veri hot weather. Anybody have similar problem ? Same thing happen to me, 07 latio sedan. Only happens when idling/very slow moving in long jam. Occasionally just turn the fan off completely for one-two minutes and then turn on again solve the problem. If you don't mind, please share what you learnt/serviced to me okay? thanks!

Kelisa10 Neutral Newbie May 18, 2013 Share May 18, 2013 Mine is Latio 08, 4yr 6mths, 63k mileage, air-con not cool 2 weeks ago, check with Nissan and been told checking fee is $90++. Decided sent to third party well known air-con specialist workshop in Ubi, I been told by the workshop in-charge only gas leak and nothing is spoilt, only top up gas will solve the problem. Air-con not cool again after 1-2 weeks. Don't dare to send back third party workshop, waste time and money. Now send to Nissan Ubi for repair, the Nissan Mechanic told me that technician detected the cooling coil gas leak and the repair cost me $500++, no choice and need to go ahead with it. I also been told I need to monitor it after repair, if not cool again need to change the compressor and that will cost me another $1400 ++. Is that normal? Anyone can advise if my decision is correct. 1. Nissan Ubi for repair = more expensive but at least I wont be cheated. 2. Any air-con workshop in JB to repair it = very cheap if found a honor workshop, but high risk to get cheated (due to Spore car plate) and worry about the workmanship.

SpenserTan Neutral Newbie May 18, 2013 Share May 18, 2013 Similar problem I had in my Latio. Went to check, was the aircon clutch issue which slipped. They took it out, grind it to make it even, and put it back. No issues after that. You can consider... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I changed my compressor over a year ago at nissan ubi during npmp servicing too. Parts alone was 900. After awhile, there is a musty smell during drivng. Went to Kelvin to setvice, they jst clean the airfilter and the musty smell is gone... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't tell me mine also the same issue. I should believe in Nissan service center as they are expect in their own brand product. I already paid S$500+ to Nissan to replace the cooling coil and the thermo sensor. Nissan, don't tell me you were diagnose it wrongly.....

I am a bit regret that I wasn't signup npmp servicing before. Now I need to pay for all the damages. I just hope mine wasn't the compressor problem. I will monitor it after cooling coil changed. Now is only day 1 after repair, I hope it can remain cool after 2 months, and the problem consider solved. cross finger...

Better to send it to TC afterall they are more reliable. Even after repairing, there is this periodic "hissing" noise - i do not know what that is but i find that rather irritating.

Perlygate Neutral Newbie August 5, 2013 Share August 5, 2013 Hi I just joined as a new member and I drive a Nissan Latio sedan. I don't have a aircon smell problem but I do have an aircon issue. My cooling coil was leaking and I have changed it. I also changed the fan not to long ago. I now have this problem that the aircon gets cut-off every 15 min or so. ie the aircon blows out air but it is not cold (the aircon still blows air and air flow is ok). If I switch off the aircon (just off the aircon button) and switch it on again 2 min later, the aircon starts to blow cold air again. It then gets cut-off again in another 15 min and I have to repeat the process. The experience so far is this happens when I drive for long distance, like on the NS highway in M'sia. Does anyone knows what is wrong with the aircon. Is it a thermostat sensor issue or is it a compressor issue? Thanks for all the advices and assistances in advance. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
