I did account for the oil in the compressor and adjusted accordingly. I'm almost ready to put the clutch from the new compressor on the original and see if the noise is the same. Then I would know for sure it's something that I'm doing in the charging/oiling process.

Need AC help

A few weekends ago we were heading home from our day trip destination and as we left we noticed immediately that the AC was not getting cold. I used the IPDM self diagnostic feature to determine the clutch was not engaging. In a time crunch I opted for the reman compressor from the local parts store...

The wife's 2012 Pathfinder with 98k miles on it just started with these 2 codes first was the P0456 (very small leak detected) then eventually the P0442 came too.

Need help wtih some gremlins

Ya, I like the idea of the later years of a particular model as well.

I looked at the vehicle on Monday and ended up making a deal. Everything looked as it should, no surprises. Working with the banks before I pick it up but the wife is looking forward to it.

I'm very mechanically inclined and I do all my own work and know what to look for. Doing my research I have learned about the common issues, the major being the int...
