DaveBerlin, this was the initial issue I was having. I had booked a Groupon offer for £29 @ ATS, but engineer said car had a different sized nozzle and needed the new style gas. No on else could do it so dealer quoted £189. Even I was confused when the service agent said it needed the old style gas, so cost would be cheaper (just checked invoice and was £69), even though I have the same sticker. Had it done back in July and it's been working OK ever since. My head is hurting now....lol

Sorry for the very late reply @DaveBerlin. Same has happened again, Aircon very weak so called the dealer to book for a re-gas. Was quoted £189, but when I mentioned I was charged £89 last time they amended the quote. However, when I dropped the car in I was told the wrong price has been quoted, and that it needs the new style gas. Agreed to honour price, but then got a call saying that the technician said a re-gas shouldn't be needed but suspected a leaking condenser- quote £649!!! Alot to pay for a suspicion....

Jeet, hopefully you have finally got there and a New Condenser will be installed, then your problems should go away - Best of Luck Dave :D

Just an update for you guys- I found a guy who quoted just over £300 to replace the condenser and re-gas- half the dealers quote. This was on a aftermarket condenser, £50 more for Nissan part. He has done so many recently that he's now having problems sourcing new condensers. Stupidly I didn't take any pictures but the leaks were just wet areas spread across the face of the condenser. No way that a 'stone' had damaged it, as per dealers diagnostics -the location of it is too high for any direct damage. I went for the aftermarket one has I'm thinking of changing my Qashqai soon. Not sure if I can share his details @DaveBerlin but can do if allowed. Mobile service in the Yorkshire area. The aftermarket one was slightly heavier than the original one that came out too
