Nissan Terrano 2004 Model: Heating/Cooling and Blower Functionality Issues

Hey Guys, I've got a 2004 Nissan Terrano, petrol engine, clocked 31653 KM on the road. Lately, I've been facing an issue, the heating/cooling isn't working to its full potential and the blower isn't much of a help either. I'm suspecting it might be an Electric auxiliary heater breakdown, given my recent unpleasant experience with a mechanic. Any of you had similar issues? How'd it go with your mechanic? Appreciate any guidance or tales from experience!

Hey, I feel your pain, had a similar story with my 2007 Nissan Navara not long ago. Like yours, my heating/cooling were kinda wonky and barely putting in half the effort. Turned out it was indeed the electric auxiliary heater not doing its job right. My mechanic spotted it straight away, it was indeed a serious issue. You know, living in winter without a proper heater is no fun. The solution for mine was replacing the defective part. Seems it had given up the ghost after a good amount of mileage and time. Basically, if you are noticing odd behavior and subpar efficiency, it's really worth getting it checked out professionally. I'd recommend taking it to a trusted expert, they should be able to sort it out. Good luck with yours!

Thanks for the advice! I guess taking it to a professional is my best bet. I'm just a bit curious about the costs. If you don't mind, could you give me a ballpark figure of what it cost you to get it replaced? And hey, did you face any other issues related to this since the fix? Cheers!

Hey there! Yeah, dealing with this wasn't exactly a joy ride. To keep things in perspective, getting the Electric auxiliary heater sorted cost me around 350 Euro in total. It's not precisely small change, but considering the heater functionality and overall comfort, I'd say it's worth the investment. And lucky for me, since the pro mechanic gave it the one-two, I've had no further issues with that blasted heater. So if you ask me, it's definitely money well spent. Be sure to let us know how it turns out for ya! Cheers!

Hey, Appreciate your quick response! 350 Euro is indeed somewhere around what I expected. Honestly, for the comfort and proper functioning, it'd be worthwhile. Thanks a ton for sharing your experience, definitely eases my nerves a little. I'll take it to a trustworthy mechanic this week, fingers crossed it's just the electric auxiliary heater! Thanks again for the help, I'll let ya know how it goes. Peace out!
