How much were the new parts - condenser and compressor?

The compressor was $100 used and the condenser was $150 but that was with my shop account at Autozone. It will be a bit more regularly

I believe my alternator went out but I’m not 100% sure. Is there any other way to check besides checking voltage?
@fixitish27 күн бұрын
@@cichfish7525 if you have a voltmeter I usually check the voltage at the battery when the truck is running. Then I check for battery voltage at the positive terminal on the back of the alternator with the truck off. If I have voltage there but it’s not charging it’s usually just a bad alternator. There’s other tests you can do but this has always worked for me. Way back in the day with older cars you were able to remove the negative battery terminal to test an alternator but you don’t wanna do that with this truck. It worked with older cars since they didn’t have much electronics on them

@fixitishАй бұрын
You can refill it yourself if you go rent the tools for it you’ll need to use the ac manifold gauges and vacuum pump. If you don’t wanna go through all that a shop can recharge it for not too much. And you’ll also need to make sure you add oil to the compressor. If you get a new one it will usually say it comes prefilled with some but you’ll need the correct amount for this car

Hey, I have a unique issue. So my compressor wants to turn off 5-15 seconds anytime its on by itself, however I can use the climate control to forcefully turn the compressor on and it stays on and works perfectly. Do you think this could be the AC refrigerant switch on the condenser causing this? For some reason the cabin air temperature sensor does not read accurately after I put a brand new one on from the dealership...
@fixitishАй бұрын
It’s possible it’s that switch. It sounds like a low refrigerant condition with it turning on and off

Hi man, I have 350Z 2008 which has the same engine Same Compressor. I want to repalce the AC compressor but do you have any idea how much Pag Oil I need to add to it? I'd really appreciate your help. Last year my new Compressor blew up mostly due to wrong amount of Oil that was added to it. If you have any idea or can help I will be grateful.
@rexxor4219Ай бұрын
The new compressor typically comes with a small amount of oil, but you should add the total system oil capacity minus what you drained from the old compressor. For the 2008 Nissan 350Z, the total system capacity is approximately 6.75 to 7 ounces (200 ml) of PAG 46 oil.

I did 3 pulls in a row, my best guess is that the cylinder got too hot at the piston rings butted up again each other and that’s what took out that piston. The fuel pump was bad as well so going lean contributed in the cylinder getting hot. I’ll probably try and make a video on common 300zx problem someday but that might be about the whole car lol 😆

Just finished mine on an 07, didn't have to remove sway bar and I removed mine through where the wheel would mount. For the alternator, you have 2 on top and 2 on the bottom. As a correction to your video, there are only 2 bolts that connects the powersteering to the mount. Both need to go through the pulley to remove or assemble. Any other do it yourselfers beware, this job is a pain in the ass. Better not plan anything all day.

For anyone who works on this same car in the future, it has a cool feature where you press the button that tells the car your driver's side front door is closed 5 times rapidly and it puts the car in a test mode and cycles a bunch of stuff including the AC compressor clutch to see if it functions even if your freon levels aren't right. Real easy way to test if the compressor clutch is the problem or not.

I did mine the same way. Drop the sway bar is a must to get your hands in there and for alt removal thru bottom. More tips .. use a rope from the top to tie back the power steering unit and use another rope to tie back the radiator hose to the brake rotor from the side. It makes so much more room to remove and replace the alt. Also to reset the idle. Turn the ignition on to light up the dash, engine OFF. SLOWLY PRESS AND RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND BACK 3 TIMES then turn the key off. Start the engine and it should fix the idle speed to just under 1000 rpm.
