Mkl22 Twincharged June 28, 2021 Share June 28, 2021 @Columbian78 you can check it yourself. Just switch the Aircon to max cold and see if any of the engine fan spins. If so then any workshop can fix it. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayz89 3rd Gear June 29, 2021 Share June 29, 2021 Hi all, my 2017 vezel aircon will blow out some particles when first turn on. After a while, it will stop. I read online it seems the corrosion of the aluminium coil parts there. aircon runs fine, its cold but the thing when blown out is not healthy and annoying. any idea which shop specialist that can recommend to me? tks in advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it could be some insulating material used to wrap around the vent outlet where cold air passes through. No biggies imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamburger Hypersonic June 29, 2021 Share June 29, 2021 13 hours ago, Hamburger said: The evaporator fan that sits along side radiator fan probably konked out. When car moves, the air flow helps cool it down. When stationary, the fan failed its job of cooling the evaporator. Hence the air con system not cold where it should be. Need to rectify. Should be condenser fan and not evaporator fan. My bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbian78 6th Gear June 30, 2021 Share June 30, 2021 So i went to kim and found the issue is the fan spolit n not turning. My car has a single large fan to blow both the radiator and the aircon coil. Kim says need to change just the motor. Original motor 480 all in. Took his offer. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eviltrap 2nd Gear June 30, 2021 Share June 30, 2021 I replaced my air con compresser with L and Kim. Much cheaper than C&C, definitely! And it was thanks to the recommendation here! Car was terrible to drive when the compressor was down. The day I drove to fix it, it was raining, and the interior fogged up. 😱 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbian78 6th Gear June 30, 2021 Share June 30, 2021 Yeah i must have been lucky. The fan probably stopped working about 2 mths ago cos that was when i first observed aircon problems. I thought its just aircon n i could live with it for a while so i ignored first. Did not really noticed the temp needle might have creeped higher. I dont idle in car with engine running and i drive v little nowadays so these also hide the problem. Then 1 mth ago i started having other engine issues which i am now not sure if is caused by the fan not working n the resultant heat. Maybe maybe not. I got 1 cylinder misfire and my bov vacuumn needle was found broken and 1 end of charge pipe rubber melted. These were replaced and repaired and i finally got round to attending the aircon problem 3 days ago. We all never realised temp had been high. I did noticed coolant temp had been 90+ instead of 80+ when i hooked up my obd device. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorLim 1st Gear May 31, 2022 Share May 31, 2022 (edited) Just checking what is the price to replace air compressor in a Nissan Sylphy? Edited May 31, 2022 by VictorLim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahtan2010 Clutched August 7, 2023 Share August 7, 2023 Hi, after hearing many positive comments for l & Kim in this forum, I brought my jap car, which has AC problem, to the workshop. After a quick diagnosis, was quoted 860 and possibly more to replace a faulty cooling coil. Not exactly cheap. Is that reasonable? Seem about same price as AD. Any advice greatly appreciated. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
