paulobanez: I was going to ask you the same thing. How much is a new OEM compressor for a Nissan Tilda? I have a similar problem with a 2004 Chevrolet Lumina and want to get the AC running like new. With fully charged AC gas and confirmation that there are no vacuum leaks, my AC runs acceptably in the evenings, but not so much during the heat of the day. This leads me to deduce that the problem is definitely the compressor, which is the heart of the AC system. I'm trying to decide if I should get the repairs done here while I'm still in the UAE, or wait until I arrive in Doha at the end of August. The price for the Chevrolet OEM compressor here in the UAE is 850QR/AED (there are other parts that may also be required when replacing the compressor, eg. something called a receiver [@180QR/AED]). If I can confirm that the price is similar in Doha, I will wait to have the work done there. paulobanez, if you happen to go to an auto parts shop to inquire about the price for a compressor for your Tida, could you also ask if they have the price for a compressor for a 2004 Chevrolet Lumina (6 cylinder, 3.8 liter engine). I will check the same for your Tida here in the UAE, just so you will have a better idea of the market price to give you some information for bargaining.
