What I do like most is when Scotty explaining things in this case is explaining a/ c leaks in a such a nice , simple & workable manner & I do enjoy when he applied all instructions in detail of what may as well developed ...scotty knows how can cleaned up everything .

Scotty : "The compressor has to be raised up against gravity and wiggled into place blind." (Cuts out all of the swearing). "And there it is. Just need to bolt into place and fill with refrigerant."

The pig sound with the Vacuum really cracked me up 😂😂

I just had a new compressor installed on my 2010 Nissan Rogue because the clutch seized up. AC still wasn’t blowing cold after putting in a can of refrigerant so we had to search for the AC fuse and that had blown so we replaced that. Blowing cold air for now. Love your videos

Bruh my grandmother has had her 2010 Nissan Maxima since brand new she knows nothing about cars and still is running strong to this day with 176k miles and has had no issues whatsoever. She even got t boned by an Audi and the Nissan still didn't have any internal issues. Nissans are great cars. I learned how to drive with her car and I abused the hell out of it slamming on the gas pedal. CVT still going strong. Nissans are great.

Chevrolet emigrated to the US from Switzerland and the bowtie is a nod to the Swiss flag. When he went bust and GM bought Chevrolet, they kept the logo.

On my car, i use self vacuum, using the compressor itself to push out the air and create a vacuum, we allow for a small amount of leakage of refrigerant. Basically bypass the zero pressure safety switch or directly connect a positive wire to the compressor for less than a minute. High side open or simply press down on the port valve, till there is a strong a vacuum on the low side. switch off. with engine off we load a little refrigerant till its standing pressure. then repeat the process one more time . So far this works without much of a problem, if your receiver dryer is new, any small amount of residual air will be absorbed . AC goin ok for four years now.

Haha! Scotty showing James Pumphrey when he mentioned pop-up headlights is hilarious!

Thanks for all your content Scotty. I have a 2013 Nissan Maxima bought it before I started watching your channel😭. Had 26000 miles on it and I knew the old maxima’s lasted forever so thought it was a good buy. At about 36000 miles the transmission started to shutter a lil here and there. I was so angry after finding your channel and finding out Nissan has horrible transmissions. Now I am only going to look at Toyota or Lexus for the future. I am at 46000 miles the trans still shutters some time but I’ve learned to live with just going to drive the car into the ground then get a used Toyota thanks to you. P.s. don’t drive many miles as you can ,aye tell it’s been 3 years I have had the car and only put 20k miles on it I would definitely tell ppl to not buy or trust Nissan products.

Great video sir!

I might have checked to be sure the system held a vacuum for a while and then filled the hoses with refrigerant before connecting to recharge. Weighing in a charge is always best though a TXV allows an amount of variation, a piston metering system doesn't.
