Probably got a punctured condenser. See https://www.qashqaiforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=5447&p=48901&hilit=aircon+problems#p48901 re J11 model issues. I doubt the OP has a J11 if it only cost £50 for a regas. On my first QQ, I had a leak and it was in the little dryer tank, when sh...

I recently rotated the front / back wheels of my QQ. I was just chatting to the service desk guy a week or 2 before whilst my car was in for a service & told him my intention to rotate the wheels. He told me I needed the TPS sensors to be recalibrated and it required special equipment. I had pr...

If anyone is thinking of paying for their re-gas then try Westway Nissan. They quoted me £79 and this includes a decontamination of the system. They have confirmed this is for the new style gas (I had 3 different people confirm it because I didn't believe them !). I got ripped off for £264 by a loc...

Another interesting thing about re-gas costs is that the machines vacuum out to retrieve the gas out of your system before refilling, as it is so expensive. But this then means someone regassing who's had a leak and at 0% will be using 100% new gas, compared to someone who just has a regas done as p...

I still think a 2014 car shouldn't need a regas unless a leak has occurred, so I'd rule out a leak first. Otherwise a very expensive refill could just leak out again.

As Tom40my said, there has been an issue with air con condensers on the J11 Qashqai - even if your car is just out of warranty, Nissan should do something about it. The OP doesn't mention if there is an issue with the aircon, and the fact that his daughters 2014 Vauxhall has just had a regas, makes...

You should not need to have the aircon regassed in 2017 for a 2014 car unless there's been a leak. Why did your daughter get her Vauxhall recharged, and why do you think you need to get your QQ recharged?

Has anybody risked installing the firmware themselves before?

Does the new style gas, from factory, come with the green dye? When I had a leak on the J10 I could shine an ultra violet light into the engine bay at night and see the green dye splattered all over near the leak, but it was invisible to the naked eye.

An internet radio app would have been great, and they do have these for non-UK accounts, TuneIn radio was on there at one point for other markets. I'm off to Devon on holiday next week so I like to listen to local Devon radio this week to keep an eye on weather forecasts and local events and suchlik...
