Seeking Advice on Faulty AC and Heating/Cooling System in 2011 Nissan Interstar Diesel

Hey folks, I've got a 2011 Nissan Interstar Diesel with about 74,689 km on it and she's giving me some headaches. The AC's been pumping out warm air instead of cold and the heating/cooling system is also not performing up to the mark. I'm thinking it may be an issue with the air quality sensor signal but not totally sure. Has anyone else experienced similar issues? And could you recommend a good trustworthy mechanic since my last one didn't do so well? Appreciate any insights! Cheers.

Hey there, Sounds like you're having a rough time. Had similar issues with my 2014 Nissan Primastar not that far back. The AC started acting up, turned out it was indeed the line/cable from the sensor that was defective. Let's say it wasn't a walk in the park. Fixed the problem at a local mechanic, guy really knew his stuff. He replaced the sensor cable, recharged the AC and a full AC system service was done - took care of it. Rest easy, it's a common issue, nothing to sweat over. Seems like a big deal but a good mechanic would handle it without much hassle. Btw, mine was fixed by “Bob’s Garage”, top notch service, might want to check 'em out if they're in your local area. Cheers,

Hey, That's just the sort of thing I was going through with my 2013 Interstar! Sounds like it's even the same problem - that pesky sensor cable. Man, what a nuisance that was. I got mine fixed over at the go-to mechanic in town and it's running smoothly now. Just outta curiosity, how much did you shell out for those repairs at Bob's Garage? And have you had any recurring or new issues crop up since the fix? Cheers!

Hey, Ah, the old "how much did it cost" question! It set me back 95€ at Bob's Garage. The guy had to sort out that damn line/cable from the sensor. Maybe not loose change, but he got it sorted good and proper. And yeah, since I saw the mechanic, that ruddy 'Bad air quality sensor' signal hasn't been an issue at all. No new problems have come knocking either, fingers crossed! Cheers!

Hey, guys! Thanks so much for sharing your experiences. It's definitely put me at ease a bit. So it seems like the air quality sensor signal is indeed the likely suspect behind these issues huh? Guess it won't hurt to have it checked out. Appreciate the advice on Bob's Garage too, I'll definitely look it up and see if it's in my area. The cost sounds reasonable considering your AC problem's completely sorted now. Hoping to get mine fixed without any new surprises popping up too. This is why I love our community, so supportive in times of need. Keep those wheels rolling safely, fellas! Cheers.
