problem #1

Jul 152003

Sentra 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 31,000 miles
I have a '97 & '99 Nissan Sentra gxe & both have suffered the same ac problem - the auxiliary fan ( air con cooling fan) stopped working for both when they had relatively low miles on them - 30000 - 45000 miles for the '97 & 32000 miles for the '99. On the '97 because we never got to know from regular servicing that the fan wasn't working, the ac compressor stopped working & we were left with changing the whole air con system for over $900. On the '99 the fan has just been diagnosed - the air con compressor still seems fine. These problems were diagnosed by the dealer & we were told that "like the '97, the '99 will need a new ac compressor if we don't quickly replace the fan."
