IMPORTANT! THE ALTIMA BASE AND S MODEL DOESN'T HAVE A VALVE. ONLY SL AND SR. SAVE TIME!
I know this is off topic but for anyone who sees this if you own a Nissan of almost any model listen up. About 3 years ago Nissan was sued in a massive enormous multi billion even trillion dollar lawsuit. For those of you who didn’t know about it, they were supposed to send notices to all registered owners however I have heard they didn’t and they made no effort to forward the notices or call people who relocated so they received a load of returned mail with no follow up for which they got huge fines and are supposed to be tracking these owners down through the DMV. They were putting in junk parts inside the transmission and they knew they were faulty and would not last even past 45-50,000 miles at best in order to cut corners in production. They knew the transmissions would not last long and some were lasting just past the factory warranty conveniently of 30,000 miles, like 35k miles and Nissan knew they wouldn’t so people were replacing them left and right at a ton of money. Transmissions are way expensive. When they replaced them they put in the same junk parts but they were milking everyone for the cost of a new transmission which we know are not cheap. So they had billions of dollars in charges they should not have had because of fraud. When Nissan tested each model before it’s release they knew this was going to be an issue but they put the junk parts in anyway. People’s transmissions were dropping literally in the middle of the highway at 75 mph and there were serious even fatal accidents everywhere. The cars were just outside the warranty period when they started jolting and stalling. Ironically these cars were barely out of the warranty period so if they didn’t buy an extended warranty which I don’t think a lot of people do, at least I never have because I keep up on maintenance and service which works for me. Plus those extended warranties are limited and none of them would do much for me. New car owners were paying hand over fist for new transmissions of course being none the wiser. Then a guy bought one who was a very experienced mechanic and it happened to his at 35k miles. He knew better so he put it up on his racks and took the whole engine apart. When he looked at it he saw it was the transmission and knew it should not be having issues at 35kmiles. He knew better so he took apart absolutely everything and found the junk part they used and tested it to be sure he was right and he was. That’s when he knew Nissan was making them and they were going out way too early and peoole were replacing them left and right. But when they would replace them they were replacing them with the same junk part but charging the price you would pay for the brand new one. Transmissions were going out on all Sentra’s and altimas and several other models, nearly all models from about 2005 through I think 2015 maybe 2016 all over the world. He concluded he probably was not the only one this was happening to. He hired an attorney and started an enormous class action lawsuit after he took apart several Nissans of different models and they were all the same. . It took a few years in court but they were sued out the butt. In the end the judge ordered them to replace every transmission that was junk no matter how many miles it had on it or how long ago they bought it if they got lucky and hadn’t had a problem. They also had to go back and contact everyone who bought one and replace theirs at no charge. I had abiut 42k miles on mine and about a week before the decision came down mine started having issues. I got a brand new transmission for no charge and they had to give me a loaner while they were working on it. They were so backed up my car sat there for 16 days. If you have a Nissan whether or not you’ve had or are having issues with the transmission google the case online. I’m not sure if there was an end date to the lawsuit but I have a 2013 and it was covered but not until 2020 was the lawsuit settled. It was massive and cost them billions of dollars because it was so blatant the court had no sympathy. So if your transmission has been giving you grief or you’ve had to replaceit and the year was after I believe 2012 call Nissan headquarters and find out. They sent out notices about the lawsuit saying to call your dealer but if you have relocated then you might not have gotten it. I got a brand new transmission in 2020 with zero miles on it so virtually I got a brand new engine almost that runs like a champ like a brand new car, quiet and smooth. The difference in price in the junk fake one and the real I’ve was about 2500.00. So by doing what they did and putting junk parts in and knowing it they ended up loosing billions. I didn’t feel the least bit bad either they deserved it because they deceived their customers. I’ll never buy a Nissan again but the one I have now only has 50k miles on it and I’ve worked remotely since the shut down so I barely go anywhere. I’ll drive this until the doors fall off it’s been paid off for years. It was due to be paid off in 2021 but I paid it off I think in 2018 and with a brand new transmission I’m not planning on buying anything new, not in this economy plus the body is in great shape. I just wanted to to put this out there in case this pertained to you and you didn’t know. Feel free to share this as well. Good luck.
I can 100% say I spent 90$ for this part and some Freon and it worked in my 2013 Nissan Sentra with 115k miles, mechanics saying it’s the compressor, thank you for putting the information out there! So it’s not only in altima’s as well!
Hey man, just wanted to say THANK YOU! Saved $1,400 by replacing this exact part in my wife’s 2014 Altima! Thank you again buddy!
I need this!!
for a struggling husband/father u don't know how much I appreciate this video u saved me money I didn't have ur awesome ty
I have a 136k miles on my 2018 Altima 2.5 SL. I live in Texas and my A/C only blows hot. I was told my compressor is bad. The funny thing was they first told me my compressor was good then when they checked the pressure they the Hi/Low was off. I ordered the control valve so hopefully this fixes the problem
This guy is right, 90% of the time that compressor pressure valve will fix your problem. Good job guy
I have. 2013 SL. Just ordered the part. Pep boys says they will evacuate AC, replace valve , and recharge for $163. Appointment Is this Thursday. We will see.....
I have a 2013 SV and you're right, Nissan is complete trash. I had to get the CVT reprogrammed but fortunately it was free with the recall. The hood latch recall feels like it made it worse. It feels like it's being held in with a cheap wire now. Also the car has issues with the suspension which was recalled for, and the airbags. Never buy a Nissan again. Thanks for the tip by the way for the AC. Mine still blows fairly cool air but I probably will get this done to get some freezing cold air for the summer.
Not all Heroes wear capes, you're saving lives and wallets bro. Thank you for sharing. 54 crooked mechanics didn't like this video though, but WE DON'T CARE lmaooo.
Im so Glad i came to your channel. long story short, and 3 mechanics later with 3 different repair options, i told them well i saw this video on UA-cam, with same issue. told him about the compressor valve, and he was like okayyy lets do it. tell you what, it sure did fix the issue!!
Recently watched this video & it saved me from spending hundreds on a new compressor had multiple mechanics tell me I needed a new compressor or buy a refurbished one.I replaced a new solenoid on my 2013 Altima $90 thanks a lot man !
If only I came across your video much earlier, I wouldn't have spent almost $600 replacing my dryer and condenser when my AC was acting up. After getting fixed, it's still acting up once again and 2 mechanics were telling me that my compressor was running weak and needed replacement. Thank you for this very valuable information. Instead of spending another $500, now I'm only going to spend $40 for part plus $150 AC service.
You have no idea how much I do appreciate you posting this video, my 2015 altima was doing the same thing yours was doing, replaced that part and the ac is blowing really cold. Thank you very much.
Daughter has a 2015 Sentra SV and 🥵 Swapped the part for about $100 total cost and it’s freezing cold in the car now. 🥶 Thank You Sir!!! I really appreciate you doing this video… 😁🙏🏽👍
Good informative video. I had learned about this too when working on my wife's 2013 altima a year ago. Also if your upstream oxygen sensor starts a p1148 code. Check the o2 sensor 15 amp mini fuse on the drivers side under the hood also.
Thank you! I've been trying to figure this out for the last 2 years and they told me it needed a compressor but I knew it didn't. I know this is what it is! Thank you thank you!!
Thank you sooooo much! Now I have the wisdom to make the choice to keep my family cool in the car in this Texas summer heat!!
this worked for my a/c. thank you so.much for this video. it was hard to find someone to do it but once I did it was an easy fix. I'm so happy because its HOTTTT....
