Hi,

Took car to dealer today and they have told me that the condensor is doamged due to stone chip.

They have quoted me £690 to fit new condensor and regas ?

Can condensors be repaired or is it a bin job.

TIA

Hi, I have spoken to the Nissan dealer and they have said the following. The only way to test the aircon system is to try and regas it, if it takes the gas they will charge me £150 if it fails then obviously it has a fault.

The gassing process requires a vacuum test for leaks. The Aircon system must hold that vacuum for a specified time frame before gassing ca...

Hi, I have a 65 plate 1.6 petrol Qashqai. 10 months ago we had an issue with the aircon making a slight hissing noise through the vents and not cooling the car enough. We took it back to the dealer and was charged a regas at £150. The car is now showing the same issue again with the noise and not co...
