mine also waiting for aircon compressor replacement..but i tried to off the aircon, the sound is still there.... :( so dont really know the problem and the sound is really loud....!!!!

Mine has been confirmed by TCM to be aircon compressor. I ask them how can it be, as I have off my aircon, and can still hear the sound. The SA mention that the aircon compressor is auto turned on after ignition.

As they have run out of stocks, they need to order from Japan, which should take 6 - 8 weeks to arrive.

Luckily mine is still under warranty. Any idea how much a compressor would cost if I am out of warranty?

Hi all,
Long time didn't visit the forum after selling my ride for a year. Was surprise after so long, nissan have yet to resolve the aircon compressor issue. Had the problem after 1 year of ownership. It is definitely an aircon compressor issue when we hear whirling sound in morning and when pulling off. Lucky thing is tanchong warrant it and replace it foc.
Anyway, found the facefilted latiosport rear lights looks very chio. Enjoy the comfy ride guys.

I am surprised to hear that they dont have aircon compressor. The day I went in, they mentioned compressor dont sound right, they change on that day. Maybe its not available in that Svc Centre but they can search if other svc centre has it. I normally request they arrange that or I will go down to the location that has the stock. To wait for 6-8 weeks is just an estimation. They normally wait till they have fillup the container to be shipped to Spore. So the waiting time not sure how long.

I got this weird "whirling" sound when moving off...sound goes away after it starts to cruise. Could the sound be from the CVT gearbox, anyone encounter this problem?

did u install side window visors ? when they slightly detached from your door while cruising high speed ..u will hear the whirling sound... :bleh:
