discover the problem. Open up your bonnet turn on the a/c check if both fans roll.

Good Day People,

My Nissan Pathfinder AC is acting up.

When the temperature is set at 18C it cools normally. Once the temperature goes above 18C even by 1 degree, the AC begins to blow hot air!

Kindly assist with the cause and solution.

Thank you.

I just changed my car’s alternator (GS350). How do I know if it’s overcharging because not everyone have got the alternator tester.

Start by returning the thermostat back, ensuring cooling system is not leaking, ensure radiator is running optimal, ensure fans are not running steady. Clean up the spark plugs, decarbonize the O2 sensors, clean out airfilters (better still replace if dirty) finally if any previous work has been done on your fuel pump, ensure the regulators have not been blocked. Meanwhile what car is this.

I am sorry I did not mention the car name..its Honda accord 2005 v4...i havent done any work on the fuel pump. How do I decarbonize the o2 sensors.? My downstream sensor is new.. I got it from oga Rowland. The fans run steady and There is no thermostat.. I guess I will fix that first.. I have to order for thermostat From Rowland then. I will ask the spark plugs to be cleaned. As well as the air filter.. Or even replace it.. Someone suggested that I add thinner to my fuel.. Do you concur sir??

They eventually ask how much I can pay and I told them just 5h. They hit d iron covering d fan and it started working. I've been using that method since but I want to repair it.

remove fans and cross check properly before jumping to gasket issues.
