Well it looks like my compressor is leaking from the bottom port looking thing...almost looked like a tire pressure gauge tester...not sure if thats where they leak from. I got it from a junk yard about 4 summers ago, so I guess its time to just bite the bullet and get something new. I already have a new dryer so I wont have to replace that.

Anyone with similiar experiences with purchasing a NEW A/C Compressor, please let me know where you purchased from. I DONT want a remand unit. NEW ONLY

The cheapest I found was online and in stores. Honestly I don't think your gonna be able to find a brand brand new one for a good price let alone finding one that was never remand. All I got to say is just avoid anything at the junkyard cause the last thing that u need to happen is to contaminate ur whole system.

 

i saw rebuilt ones on ebay for $150 or so, but new ones are gonna run you alot more

you'll still have to replace the drier. anytime you open the system you have to replace it. the desiccant is quickly spent in the presence of atmospheric moisture.

 

Even if its only for a few minutes while I swap out the Compressor ?? thats another $70 from Nissan and the one I have in there is Brand New

If the new compressor is installed within a short time of opening the system, your drier will be fine. I have done many AC jobs. I have even had one open for several hours with no consequences. Just pull a vacuum for 30 minutes or so to boil out all the moisture.

 

i just took mine too nissan and let them fix it..........460 dollars tho not including labor.


but yours is different mine didnt leak but made a very very embarrasing noise....i thought it was the alternator but that was fine and they said it was the AC compressor.

 

Ordered from David Burnette.

$322.69 New

He gave me a price of $360

The place that SVI30 recommended was out of stock on the new units. I ended up with a reman instead at $250. If it dies I'll probably be ready to junk the car and get an Altima coupe.

Who's the man?

 

its good hvac practice to replace the filter drier any time you open a sealed system. i wouldnt take any chances,spend the extra money and replace the filter drier as well.

 

I called the guy you told me to. His price was $360

I got the compressor from David Burnette for $322.
