A/C on my dad's 03 350z quit working recently. I'm pretty far away so he took it to the local Nissan dealer. If I can read the techs handwriting correctly it said this. Ac does not blow cold. High side reads low. Low side reads high. Pulled .71lbs refrigerant, system held vacuum. Refilled, ac still blows warm. Low and high side still the same pressure. Compressor spinning. Diagnosed internal compressor leak. Before he took it in I helped him confirm the compressor was spinning over the phone. This makes sense to me but I'm no expert. Let me know if I'm missing something. Dealer quoted $1600 for compressor and refill. 1yr 12000 mile warranty. Another independent shop quoted $1400 for compressor, dryer, expansion valve, and filling it. Non oem parts though. +$500 for the oem compressor. 2yr 24000mi warranty. Looks like the better deal on paper but requires pulling the dash or a lot of it to get at the expansion valve. What would you go for? Is the moisture issue caused the second you open the system or is it from being empty for an extended period?

Motronic posted:Dealer diagnosis is probably right, but their proposed repair of compressor and refill is both too expensive and not a complete job. Take it to the indy shop. They're suggesting the fix that is most likely a real permanent fix based on the available information. Thanks. How are aftermarket compressors? It's about double but 20 years was a good run. If they're all made by the same place though.
