Hey guys newbie here

So had a mare with our aircon on our 1.2 j11

Was intermitnant working and not so went to nissan and of course the day it went it worked a dream and they couldn't find or didn't want to find the issue. Thought I solved it by replacing cabin filter and was working great for a month then the last 2 days been intermittent again. Just tried leaving the battery off to restart the system which I see was a tip online but nope nothing so removed the cabin filter and tried and it's now working 🙈

I'm now having a thought that the compressor is poosibly shite and is struggling to push air through the system with the filter in but really haven't got a clue

Anyone got any ideas?

Did you put filter in correctly, last time I did one there are flow arrows, probably not that but worth a thought.

Are you saying that the fan air speed is intermittent or low?

Fan speed is fine and going up and down when asked.

It's now not working again so can't be just the filter issue.

When it isnt working you need to go back into nissan and leave it running and drag the service manager or master technician out and show them

Where you based?
