An excellent video, thanks for sharing. I have to do this job on my girlfriend’s 2013 Maxima. We’ve done all the cheap fixes already, but clearly, the compressor needs to be replaced. And thanks to your video, I now know how to do it. Thanks again, Sir!
Alldata says 3 hours! And wants me to take out the fans and upper radiator hose. But you didn’t do any of that. I got small hands and plenty of tiny tools that can get the hoses off with out removing all that crap. Doing this on a 2012 tomorrow morning
Only thing he doesn't show is the two bolts on top of the compressor that most would remove from the top. U need either a ramp or a lift to get it from the bottom. I don't mind the music cause I'm a visual learner anyways lol good job tho my mans!
I just finished tackling this job and I have to say, removing the radiator fans were only way I was about to get to the 2 10mm bolts for the a/c lines. It's a bit too troubling if you do not have a lift. No specialty tools necessary. Just my $0.02 Good luck!
Hate to sound ungrateful, but all that camera panning and zooming gave me a headache. Also, the music, was way too loud. Thanks for taking the time. You seem to be a nice guy...
@mechanicmode I'm working on this project now. how did you get the bolts of of the lines to the compressor? you can't reach it with a ratchet or wrench?
It can be specially if your are in the north part of the country! But actual ac compressor is not common problem, but it can happen Wish you good luck and hopefully you will fix your car soon
I have a 2011 SV and just had the compressor and high pressure hose replaced. Had it done by an auto air specialty shop and it wasn’t cheap - at ALL (probably second in cost only to the dealership). But I wanted it done right, and with a warranty (12 mos/unlimited mileage). Car had 238k miles and runs immaculately. This is the only problem I’ve ever had with a/c…..and I hope to keep the car at least two more years.
I have a 2011 Maxima like the one in this video. I was involved in a collision with a dear resulting in damage to multiple front end parts. The condenser was breached so it needed replacement. When I got the car back from being repaired the heater and A/C were not functioning properly. The blower was working but I was only getting heat on the passenger side. I took the car back to the repair shop but only got the run around from the owner. A few weeks later the blower gave out too. Now I'm having to pay out of pocket for a new blower and god know what else. Can anyone advise me on what is going on with this system that functioned perfectly before they "repaired" it? I am a senior who cannot afford this expense. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
He left out the hardest part which are the two screws on top of the compressor the ac lines which actually takes a hell of a lot of time to remove and replace
He left out a whole lot of parts. What a horrible video. How to get to the other 14mm which I figured out on my own but how much oil to put into the new compressor
I am sorry to hear that , but sometimes we have to figure out if we can do that or not In case it’s impossible for you to do Give the car to a local mechanic and don’t don’t hurt yourself Hopefully you are doing great !
Do anybody know some video on UA-cam, showing how to change air compressor in Nissan Maxima 2010. This video is maybe okay, but the loud annoying music messing up my brain. I can't take it anymore. As they say the genius people don't like loud noise.

Thank you 🙏
I really appreciate your support .
excellent video. i feel confident that i can replace my own A/C compressor now after watching your video.
Thank you so much for your words
I really appreciate that
Good luck with your car
Thank you for the video. Alldata lost their mind. Had it out in 15 after discharging the system.
you are welcome , yeah man that is crazy some times alldata does not show you the right info

Cool 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
@@mechanicmode did you game to remove radiator just to get to the two 10mm bolts on the sc lines going to the compressor
If the volume was the same with the music and talking would be great thanks good video!
Yes always it can be better
Thanks
great video. hopefully i won't have to change mine in the morning
Thank you ! Good luck with that
They go bad after long time so make sure your it’s not too old
Skip the music next time
Alright
Did you have to replace any rings and replace oil in the compressor before replacing it
Yes when you install the new compressor you should put brand new O-rings and after installation refill with freon
Hate to sound ungrateful, but all that camera panning and zooming gave me a headache. Also, the music, was way too loud.
Thanks for taking the time. You seem to be a nice guy...
Yeah I figured after that I posted it was really bad well I fixed that on the new videos
Thanks
Did you have to drain the coolant before replacing the AC compressor?
No you have to drain only the freon and that’s it after that you have to refill it
@mechanicmode I'm working on this project now. how did you get the bolts of of the lines to the compressor? you can't reach it with a ratchet or wrench?
Hey you should get the out under the car ,
Try to lift the car a bit
@@mechanicmode Thanks. I was able to complete my project over the weekend!
How did you flush out the old refrigerant is there a bolt where that fluid came out of or do you need to force it into the atmosphere
There is a set with a tank that you can drain the frion or buy a $2-3k machine that will drain and refill the system
Do you have to empty the AC pressure and it’s fluid before uninstalling old part?
Yes you have to empty the system before removing the old ac and after putting the new one you turn the engine and insert the new freon
Is the AC compressor a common problem with the Nassan Maxima? My 2010 Nissan Maxima is in the shop now for this issue with less 80k miles.
It can be specially if your are in the north part of the country!
But actual ac compressor is not common problem, but it can happen
Wish you good luck and hopefully you will fix your car soon

Hopefully you fixed your car and you got all you need if not than let me know if you still need anything
Do you need to drain the system first?
Yes you need to
He left out the hardest part which are the two screws on top of the compressor the ac lines which actually takes a hell of a lot of time to remove and replace
It was really hard to keep the camerA and aldo work Sorry to hear that I hope you figured out how to remove those bolts
Did you have to replace the receiver drier as well? Thank you.
No I did not replace anything except the ac compressor!
@@mechanicmode Thank you.
The worst part for me was tightening the ac lines up so hard to get to.
Yeah that is hard , depends also on miles and the place you are leaving
Did you have to add more pag oil?
No
What type of breaker bar did you use to removed the top 14mm bolt near the catalytic converter?
3/8 ratchet
you put a used one back in ????
Yes sir , i got the part from nearest junk yard
Did you drain the refrigerant first?
Yes I did !
Other way will explode out if you don’t drain it first
BLESSUP WELL DONE MY NEW FRIEND.........100 NOW CLEAN UP! LOL HOW MUCH YUH CHARGED HER?
Thanks ! I did not charge anything that was my friends car , if you need any price on this job you can look up on the google
@@mechanicmode thank yuh
When i do them i remove the fans its much better
Well that is your way to take the compressor out
But for me it’s much faster to take it out this way
5:12 what type of rachet did you use for the 10mm ac lines
A regular ratchet 12-13 mm
My A/C only works in the winter time when it’s cold outside, but does not work in the summer time. Why my ac only work in winter when I don’t need it?
You have to check if your wires are working and probably is time to replace the AC compressor
@@mechanicmode .. but if wires are bad, how come it blow cold air in winter time? Also ac compressor should be good if blowing cold air in winter
Low in charge
Because it’s cold outside, that’s why it works, doesn’t have to cool air that’s already cold….
@@cole5209 . Yes but I am talking about the air inside the car is blowing cold in winter.
How much aprox could be this labor? Including the new compressor
New After market compressor and labor will be around $600-$700 but a compressor from Nissan dealer probably $1000-$1200 including labor
That song playing, is she saying you got a big head?
No lol 😅🤣
Less music, more narration.
True , thanks
Are you in MD
yes Maryland dmv area
My Ac went out on my Nissan (same) and I believe this is the issue. Can you take a look at it ?
Does it make any noice ?
Still here ? Did you fix it ?
Is your neighbor gonna tell us how to put the gas in
What ?
He left out a whole lot of parts. What a horrible video. How to get to the other 14mm which I figured out on my own but how much oil to put into the new compressor
Oil in the compressor ?
Idk what are you talking about but never put oil in the AC compressor you gotta fill it with Freon
@@mechanicmode a new or reman compressor usually comes with 3oz of oil but on the maxima you need to fill so it equals 6.8oz
F*** this this s*** took me all day. And I cought my finger to the bone in the process of it. 😡
I am sorry to hear that , but sometimes we have to figure out if we can do that or not
In case it’s impossible for you to do
Give the car to a local mechanic and don’t don’t hurt yourself
Hopefully you are doing great !
