Do you have to add any PAG oil to the new dryer? The Nissan manual says to add 2 ounces of PAG oil before installing.
Yes, follow the manual.
Your videos are wonderful. I really appreciate the clear angles showing everything you are doing. There are far to many dark, shaky videos about fixing cars on youtube. Good work!
Thank you!

Take bottom bolt off 1st in case it’s in there tight. If you take off clamp 1st and bottom bolt is tight it will twist and break the lines off
Thank you very much for taking your time to make these videos as they have been very helpful and informative. You saved me a good amount of headaches and money.
Awesome, it's great to hear that!
Hi, have Infiniti M45 2010. Issue - AC-clutch not engaging. Parts look the same. Can I replace the low pressure switch without evacuating the system?
That plate was installed upside down under the dryer. I know from experience. Cause all my refrigerant to leak. Lmao I first uninstalled it the correct position and was watching your video and did it because you did it because I was questioning myself. Well I flipped it and the o rings were able to seal properly. No more leak.
Not sure how you got it wrong. There is only one way to install it. The plate has a raised edge on the bottom. There is no way to install it upside-down.
@@HookCircle okay so you see where those curled out edges are on his? The outer perimeter, those are facing down. Mine are facing the opposite way yet the raised parts that go around the pipe are opposite to the plate in this video. Same plate yet the punch for the raised parts around the pipes are on the opposite side. Lol
@@baileyclark6916 Nissan must have changed that part at some point.
Another fine tutorial, thanks so much!
😁👍🏼
Can you use any small screw and not for that??? My screw to the old one won't fit on the new one I bought.
My 2011 Altima just started leaking oil from compressor yesterday.. after I replaced the pulley ( it was warped )
So do I really need to replace the receiver and and expansion valve ???
It's only 5 years old.. and it was blowing perfectly nice Cold air.. Oil looks new to.. I'm thinking just compressor and recharge ?
+naiefelyemeni1986
Definitely replace receiver drier. Expansion valve is up to you. Here is a good article that can help answer your questions:
Thanks bud I'll just do compressor and drier..
Thank you so much. You give me very good information.
I’m glad it helped!
Awesome tutorial ac receiver drier. Thank youl
Thanks!
Is it safe to crank the car up to recharge ac system even though it has been evacuated...
I really appreciate this video 📹🙌 great job 👍 👏
Thank you!
Hey my Ac is not working on my Infiniti m45 06. Clutch is not Spinning and I was wondering if I change the AC low pressure switch would the AC Compressor kick on or do I need a new compressor??
Is the pressure within normal range in your AC system? If its low, the pressure switch will shout off compressor to prevent it from damaging.
I bought 2008 Nissan Altima in this winter and I knew that my AC don't work when I found the oil leakage under condenser and receiver drier . Do I need to change receiver drier or not. What happen and what to do ? Thank you.
Great clear videos Sir!
Question, those O-rings looked very loose and a little different in size, did you have any issues by chance?
I saw some other people who have had issues with the aftermarket O-rings like this..
Great attention to details!
I just didnt have the right size at the moment of the recording, so I just used another one for visual. But if you cant find the exact size, its ok to use a lightly bigger o-ring. It will seal the connection just fine. On the other side, if you use a smaller o-ring - it may stretch a little or even rip when you connect the pipes, and wont have a tight seal anymore.
@@DIYtime Ok, a few other questions I want to ask.
I am almost ready to replace my 2010 Altima Compressor, condenser and dryer/accumulator.
1) Is there an orifice tube I need to replace, if so where is it?
2) How much PAG oil will I need to add and to where once I replace the Condenser?
3) I understand some oil may get in other parts of the system but I wouldn't think it does anything in the condenser besides take up space... So with my logic (which I'm not sure is right) shouldn't I just add it all back to the compressor while I am changing it?
Thanks
1) No, your car doesnt have it. It mostly found on older cars.
2) Read the description of your replacement compressor. Very often it cones refilled with correct amount of oil. If not, normally there is a sticker under the hood saying how much oil is needed. If you don't have a sticker, you would need to check that info in repair manual.
3) Oil circulates through the AC system with refrigerant. Yes, in condenser there is no moving parts, so it doesn't lubricate anything. It is probably serves anti corrosion function though. If you replacing condenser, you need to add 2.5 US fl oz of oil. And you are correct, you would add it through the compressor.
Does it matter how you mount the drier onto the condenser? i just swapped mind and was confused as to how to put on the dried both holes align perfectly, and hoping it was done correctly.
There is only one way, cuz there is a third hole for the screw.
I have a Nissa Altima s 2013 and its AC is blowing hot air. The AC was recharge but still blowing hot air.
2009 Nissan Altima same problem... I wonder if replacing drier will possibly fix the problem
My 99 Ford ranger has a leak in the ac. They added dye could not find any said it was probably the dryer and said would cost 1500. Seems like a easy job at least on that car 1500 seems excessive
hi I have 2008 Altima hybrid I have only .52 volt at pressure switch on signal wire. my ac compressor not coming on. what should be lo side psi when compressor not working. thank you
Hello, your video is very good. One question, I have a 2015 Nissan rogue select and I want to change only the Pressure Switch Sensor, do I also have to empty the Gas, or can it be done?
Yes, system needs to be evacuated first. You cant remove sensor with refrigerant in the system.
Do you know what could cause (for the same vehicle) the ac to blow cold air and after a while of it being on , goes back to blowing hot air ? I’ve been told it could be the expansion valve or the pressure switch
It could be failing or blocked expansion valve.
Great content man i have problem in my 08 altima V6 which is the compressor keep working until the evaporator freezes and air flow becomes weak till i disengage the ac manually do you by any chance know a solution..?
Could be bad expansion calve, having too much or too little flow, causing system to freeze up.
Do we hve to clean the condensor when replacing dryer?
Your videos are very good and easy to understand. I'm looking for the Expansion Valve Replacement video but could not find it on You Tube site. Can you please help me?
Thanks, I put in a lot of time and effort to keep them that way...
Expansion valve video is not ready yet, I just started editing it.
I can upload raw draft and send you a private link though.
It won't be as clean and polished, but it'll give you an idea how to do the job.
+Temachok man video is one of the best i have seen on RUclips about a Nissan expansion valve no need to polish video
Hi I have a question I replace my radiator and my condenser AC was working before they went out now that I replaced it in my AC stopped working do you think might needs to be recharged
Not sure how you did it...
When replacing AC condenser, you have to evacuate refrigerant properly, and after you are finished, you need to recharge the system.
Thank you soon much for another wonderful video you are great but Nissan and these crooked automotive mechanics are not these crooks will not get my money today.
Great video, very well explained. I have a question, on the replacement drier I bought, under it it says 'IN' for one of the pipe entrance. In which one should this go to? It didn't had that one the original factory one.
It should be the one leaving the condenser.
Hi... Thanks for above video and information... I need your help in how to remove the hup from the Ac blower motor shaft (the hup is plastic not a clib or nut) an this is the problem.
Not sure, never worked with one of those before. Look for some sort of retaining pin or ring maybe.
Great Video! I have a question maybe you can help me with. I have a 2011 Nissan Altima, SR V6. There is no power going to the A/C compressor. The compressor was replaced as well as the HVAC System switch and the Heater Temperature AC Climate Control. I know the A/C works because I had some help after recharging the system we connected the A/C straight to the battery and works great. I've also checked the a/c relay as well and its working fine. I cannot figure out why there is no power going to the A/C compressor.
Check if AC system has correct pressure. If it's too low, AC compressor won't turn on.
very informative, thanks a lot
Hi I have a question my compressor work I have my ac change but I don’t have a cool air I would like to know if you have a idea what could be my car is a 2014 Nissan Altima thanks!!! Please if you can help me!!!
Is there enough pressure in the system?
I have nissan dayz roox 2015 that car have ac problem on idle compressor is working but when i press break padal on drive gear position compressor continues on an off working
It could be the gap is too wide and compressor clutch is having hard time to engage.
My dad had a similar problem on his Honda Civic a while ago.
He installed a few shims and it fixed the problem for him.
3:49 I'm sorry i couldn't help seeing that hit xD lol
😁👍🏼
Great video!! Thank you for posting. What is the tube called on the opposite side of the condenser? Do you have a video on how to change that one?
Not sure what you are talking about. How does it look? Why are you replacing it?
Where is this part/assembly on a 2014 Murano? What engine is that, 2L or bigger? Working on a 2014 3.5L Murano, AC just quit 1 day. - thanks, take care.
This is 2.5.
It should be in the similar place on your car...
Sir I have a question ... I have the Nissan Juke 2015 I checked and inside most connection looks same as in the movie ... in my case Once the car warms up to operating temperature and I'm in park with the car idling, the compressor comes on for 5-10 seconds and then off for 5-10 seconds. It just continues with that cycle. If I turn the climate OFF everything its normal. IM SO CONFUSE ... its the A/C Pressure Sensor Switch fault, the HEATER CLIMATE CONTROL SWITCH PANEL fault, the sensors inside the cabin fault ??... I went to dealer and good trick the mechanic turned the climate off and everything went fain Dealer diagnose nothing going on with a 36000 miles Nissan Juke 2015. When back home I turned the climate ON and again the compressor comes on for 5-10 seconds and then off for 5-10 seconds. I know I'm not craz... I want to fix it but I don't know what to do. I checked the pressure for AC its normal in the spec ... I schedule appointment at AC Nissan Mechanic for full diagnoze. Please help What Can Be?
Sounds like your car should be still under warranty. I wouldn't recommend touching anything, because you may void the warranty. Take it to dealer and tell them to fix it. If they keep saying this is ok, get a second opinion from another shop.
i have a 02 i35 infiniti, nissan and infiniti are identical basically, my AC blows hot air, my compressor works, the shop told me the compressor is just pushing metal shavings out and said i need to replace compressor dryer and extension valve, does this sound right? also my coolant fans dont work but half the time, could it really be the fans and not the AC system thats at fault?
Nice vedio.can you tell me why I change the drier.
What is the sign telling me that you have had dier
Drier has to be replaced every time the AC system is empty, because desiccant pellets will break down and clog up the expansion valve.
Hi your videos are great, I replace the compressor also yesterday I try to vacuum the system but idk if I put the drier in the right position? honestly I didn't pay attention how the old drier goes, stupid mistake, I saw freon coming out from this area, thanks.
Did you use new O-rings when replacing it?
+DIY-time yes I replace the new o rings, how do i know if I connected the drier backwards? but it looks like is only one position to put it on.
Yea, it's been a while since I did that, but as far as I remember, the holes are different sizes, so there is only one way to install it. You can try to buy a can of refrigerant with UV dye to determine where exactly it is leaking.
Is there one of these videos for an 04 Xterra.
Hello I have a 2011 nissan maxima is it possible to remove the a/c high pressure switch without removing all the freon from the system thanks.
No, you must evacuate freon first, otherwise it will escape when you remove the pressure switch.
Great video quality and easy to follow!! Have one question... Do you have the o-rings sizes for the AC dryer and condenser?
What year and engine size do you have?
2008, 2.5
I couldn't find exact part numbers and sizes for dryer or condenser anywhere, so I just bought aftermarket universal set like one of these:

Thank you. Appreciate the help!!
Great video. My 2007 sentra has not had it's AC working for 7 years. When it stopped working 7 years ago the dealership said it had a condenser leak. I bought a spare condenser which come with AC dryer. Would you recommend replacing anything else? Also if I replace the AC dryer condenser and then drive to shop next day to have system recharged and oiled, is that too much of a wait. I assume there is moisture and oxygen in the AC system as it was open for 7 years?
+razz P
I would replace condenser and drier, than evacuate moisture from the system using vacuum pump, and then charge system using refrigerant with leak detection dye to make sure there is no other leaks.
Okay thanks. Do you recommend flushing out the system of old oil? Does the AC oil go bad? Since there has been leak in system for about 8 years? And i guess I'd have to add a little oil to compensate for condenser replacement.
+razz P
Yes, I would definitely flush it, since you may not have enough oil in the system. When my system leaked, most of the oil leaked too, which caused compressor failure.
My AC on my 07 Altima works when I first start it and then it goes out about 5 miles down the road. Turn off the engine and restart it and the AC works again. Do you know what the issue could be???
Does it stop blowing air, or stop blowing cold air?
Thank you for your help!!!
👌🏼
Can I replace the low pressure switch without having to empty the system?
No, impossible. You have to empty the system first.
dear i have a nissan altima 2008 3.5L i have a problem with the ac that when i turn on the ac on the car the compressor work directly but the cold air will delay for maybe 5 to 10min to begin flowing knowing that the air blowing will start from the sec you turn on the ac only im having delay in the cold air blowing.
Possible low refrigerant level in AC system. Possibly due to system leak.
Go check system pressure. Some places do "Free AC check".
Why did you change the drier only? What symptoms did your car have
I changed other things too, but did separate videos for each. My compressor leaked all oil and eventually locked up and got completely destroyed inside....
How are you doing. I have a 2010 nissan altima and the compressor went out. I replaced it, recharged the ac and its still blowing hot air. Do you think it can be the condenser and sensor?
Check the pressure in the system. It will give you a good clue of whats going on.
@@DIYtime i did the pressure is good
Is it cold at first and then gets wormer?
@@DIYtime um when I turn it on it barely blows cool. When I look at the new compressor it was spinning at first and now its doesnt
Maybe the fuse
Was your ac compressor working before you changed anything?
No, I changed everything when replacing broken compressor.
Y my car won't take refrigerant it only takes like 1/4 of a can crompressor sims to be working ok .thanks wait for and answer i forgot the car is a 98 Nissan maxima
Check if the pressure is normal on the low and high sides.
I have a nissan Altima08 everytime i cut ac on it cuts my car off .do u know wat may b problem
Does it happen when idling or during cruising too? Do you get any Check Engine Light error codes?
It could be electrical shortage when turning AC or possibly AC compressor going bad. Is compressor shaft turning relatively easy when trying to turn it by hand when engine is off?
Hey, it's me again lol did you have to add any oil after replacing the receiver drier or expansion valve? I'll be replacing the expansion valve while I'm there. If so, what kind of oil? PAG 46? What oil did you use to lubricate the o rings? Lol sorry, I just want to do the job right, first time.
What year is your Altima?
DIY-time 09 2.5L
Send me your email via PM, I will send you PDF will all that info.
Or use contact form on my web blog: www.diy-time.com/contact/
Look at page 19 about oil quantities.
Is this similar to the 06 Altima?
where the location of reciever drier in toyota corolla small body 1990 model
Not sure, but should be in similar location at the front near the radiator.
Thank you sir......
Hello,after this job i must be change the ac air?
In my case all refrigerant escaped the system and I had to buy a new one. If your system is not leaking, you need to go to mechanic who has special equipment to evacuate freon first. They can store freon for you until you are finished with repair, and then they will put it back into the AC system. If you want to charge your system with brand new refrigerant, that's also fine. It is not too expensive if you buy it yourself. Around $15-20 for most cars.
Hello. How empty the sistem ac please.
you either bust one of the lines somewhere middle of no where, or you draw the freon with a machine, but more then likely people always accidently remove the wrong line and the freon discharges so then that job is done for them lol then use a vacuum to take out all the moisture then you can recharge it make sure its holding pressure.
I have 2008 altima 3.5, ac compressor clutch was not engaging...fuses ok...wires to compressor ok..when i went to the pressure sensor to make sure its not loose i damaged the connector on thr receiver drier..now pressure sensor is disconnected but to my suprise ac clutch is engaging!!! How is tht possible? As i knw the clutch will not engage when the pressure sensor is disconnected
Check the pressure in the system. If it's too high or too low, sensor will shut off the AC compressor.
The pressure is ok...i just broked the connector plug from the pressure switch..so probably i have to replace the receiver drier or the pressure switch...my question is the ac clutch is engaging and ac cools..but how is this possible tht ac clutch is working when pressure sensor is not connected?
I guess it is probably working in bypass mode, always on... I would suggest fixing it asap before it kills the compressor from working non stop.
@@DIYtimei saw tht the compressor is working non stop..the mechanic said its a continues variable compressor..is it?
@@DIYtime if its in bypass mode..can u tell me whr to chk to make it right? I have recently changed complete ac system..compressor..condensor...receiver drier..expansion valve..evaporator..
How you know the sensor is bad,?
Its recommended and sometimes required when replacing compressor. Otherwise warranty might be voided.
Why are both radiator fans running!? Even with ac off and heater, already replaced temp sensor and nothing, No car is not overheating.
Why do you think the fans only work when AC is on? Wrong assumption
nice job
Thanks!
I have a 2009 Nissan Altima hybrid that ac dos nothing but blow hot air
☹️
How will you know it's time to have it replaced?
If you open the AC system, this part must be replaced. It is designed to adsorb moisture, which can get in there from the atmosphere when AC system is open during servicing.
@@DIYtime oooh, thanx dude
Super
Good video I have same color altima 2008
Thanks!
Hello I have a question for you. my wife have a 2011 nissan maxima and the compressor won't engage. it was blowing real cold. I did notice my kids keep opening and closing the rear vents playing with it. and the all of a sudden the a/c compressor shut just shut off. what do you think happened. and where do I start. and what do I check for first. my wife is getting on my nerves thank you sir.
I don't think closing and opening vents has anything to do with AC breaking down, it is probably just coincidence.
Try to see if AC compressor clutch is engaging when you turn on the AC, if it's possible. I'm not sure whre AC compressor is located on your car, and if you can ecven see it easily.
Look at some of my other videos to get an idea of wat to look for.
Next step would be to check if there is a pressure in the system. You'll probably have to go to mechanic, if you didn't happen to have AC manifild gauge for that.
DIY-time update. I remove the freon with the recovery machine. change the a/c switch on top of the drier. my neighbor had me thinking that was the problem. and now the compressor won't take the charge. the clutch appears to be good. do you have any ideas. if not look like we'll be going to the dealer. and I'll be crying all the way there because I know it's gonna cost me a bit thanks for your help sir.
How are you recharging it? What tools are you using for that?
DIY-time we using gauges. but We just decided to take it to the dealer. thank you for your time.
Make sure gauges are open. Some of them open clockwise, and close counter-clock wise. It is reversed. I made that mistake first time using them....
Do you absolutely have to replace AC receiver drier?
Yes, it should be replaced every time AC system is opened for service. It collects moisture trapped inside during repair and prevents from corrosion and eventual complete failure. Plus your may viod AC compressor warranty if you don't change it. They are not that expensive either.
I need you help
I got Nissan Altima 2'5 a.c no
Work
First start by checking AC fuses and relays...
Changed mine and now leaking from one of the lines that connects to it
Make sure you use brand new o-ring that is correct size. When installing, apply a little bit of compressor oil, otherwise it may slip off during installation.
@@DIYtime do u remember if there was 2 o rings on each line so 4 total
I have nissan micra 1.6SR, my car air conditioning not working
I have a red Honda 2006 2.4L. The carpet on the drivers side has a hole in it
Don’t u have to take all Freon out first ???
Yes, it's mentioned in the video at 1:04.
I don't show it here because my refrigerant leaked from damaged AC compressor, so that step didn't apply for me and I didnt record that part.
Good
i have a problem with the ac that when I turn on the ac on the car the compressor work directly but the cold air works for 3 to 5 min then the AC turns off and starts blowing just air, I turned off and start again, for 2 min blows ac and then just air, can somebody help me with this problem, thanks in advance
It is hard to tell without proper diagnostic. Have it looked at by AC repair shop. I would start with checking if the pressure is correct when AC is on.
the pressure is good is something with the power I think because when I start driving, is when the ac turns off, any idea
I wonder if it is expansion valve...
