Do yourself a favor and take it into a shop, you can't do any of this stuff without the proper tools..

Low pressure hose leaks are kind of common on our cars.

I had mine replaced twice. Once under warranty and the second out of the kindness of the dealerships heart. If you a/c is blowing hot air there is a big chance it's a leak. Are you still underwarranty?

Yep it's a leak. I had the same problem a couple of months ago. everytime I turned the A/C on it would make a noise like the fan is scrapin something. took it to the dealer and they said there was a hose leak. I guess I wasnt the only with this problem.

how much did it take to fix??

SmokeNismo

I have extended warranty so I only had to pay $50(warranty and still have to pay, ), without it, I think they were gonna charge me like 300-400.

drzcrazychulo4u

If it's that thin pipe that goes along the fender on the passenger side than it's expensive!!!

I had the same leak fixed under warranty last year, the same thing happened to me again and it was actually a broken wire up near my "aftermarket intake" as the dealer stated it, basically saying it would be covered under warranty. I'm sure it was something I did so I just sucked it up and paid them to fix it...

He said they took pics, I need to get a hold of them...

I suggest recharging it first. I bought my car without ac working. never needed it since I was in hawaii allways rolled with the windows down. took it to the dealer to get it looked at for S&G and they said there wasn't any leaks and 150 dollars later that they charged it up for me. 20 dollars I could have done that myself thanx nissan.

Shop says no leaks get another compressor.. I went cheap and did pull a part shop replaced compressor cleared lines etc.. no cold air still, changed the temperature panel in dash no cold air 4can 134a can of the oil... still hot, pull apart did give me another compressor but IS IT SOMETHING ELSE WHAT IF THIS ONE DOESN'T WORK EITHER.. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR AND BEEN DOING ALL KINDS OF WORK NEEDED ITS NEVER WHAT U THINK AND NO ONE LIKES THE LABOR ON THESE CARS... SOMEONE HELO

I have had three shops UV dye test the car and couldn't find any leaks. One shop said that it could be leaking under the dash and it would be a pain to even check to confirm. Once shop tell me it was a compressor and the other two said the compressor was fine. One shop recommended replacing the condenser as he noticed gunk build up at the bottom corner. I replaced the condenser, had a shop pull vacuum and recharge the system. Just like before, cold air blows for 5 days and on the 6th day you can tell the R134 is running out. 7th day is nothing but hot air, I am at a loss and am looking for some suggestions... Thanks in advance!!!
