Air conditioning which was considered to be a luxury at one point of time is now available in almost all vehicles manufactured today. These new Nissan Altima air conditioning systems are best serviced by professionals, however to get to get most out of it, one needs to know how they work and what can go wrong and what one should do to take care for them.
1. Foul smell coming from the Nissan Altima air conditioning system usually occurs due to bacterial build up. Bacterial build ups, molds, micro organisms and fungi start growing in the front dash panel on the evaporator once the car become old or if the system is not used frequently.
This can lead to headaches and flu like symptoms which is also known as “sick car syndrome”. Anti-bacterial treatment helps destroy the bacterial growth and leaves your Nissan Altima smelling good.
2. You car needs servicing if it does not feel the same as it was before and the cooling system doesn’t give the same affect as before. Servicing schedules that are provided by the manufacturers does not usually cover the air conditioning system of the car and the refrigerant gas that helps your conditioning system also depletes over time. This leaking usually occurs during the winter months when the air conditioning system is not used and most cars loose up to 15% of the gas per annum. Depletion of this gas leads to drying up of the “O” ring seal which by time reduces the efficiency of the system. And if this continues the system will seize to operate eventually.
This can be avoided by doing a leak check on the system and by refilling the Nissan Altima air conditioning refrigerant, also know as re-gas.
