GU 4.2ti aircon compressor bearing

@cairns gu
Hey mate I know it's been a year since this post but wondering how did you go with this?
I've had a noisy winding bearing coming since crossing a river few times several weeks ago ...
Today determined it's the AC .
Slight bearing noise is there but it goes louder when ac is flicked on.
Nissan want $1300 for the whole lot.

Sorry for the delay in replying mate, I haven't bothered fixing or replacing it yet and it hasn't got any worse. I'll probably just wait until it falls apart before I do anything.

cheers,

Steve

Cheers for the reply Steve.
I ended up replacing the whole unit as it got pretty bad, almost to the point of seizing up.
Cheers.

Ah Ok fair enough, what did it end up costing you? Interested if there are numerous options. For instance I just replaced my starter motor for $160 when the original is $650

Hey mate. I bought a Valeo Jaylec Unit, Model CM8310. They go for around $600-700 .

I got mine trade price through our diesel mechanic at work.

I got mine de-gassed, and then I unbolted the stuffed one & bolted up the new one my self, and then got it re-gassed by a aircon place. Saved some fitting labour coin, as they're not hard to fit.

Well my compressor finally seized a couple months ago and looking at replacing it. The aircon man recommends replacing compressor, evaporator, tx valve, dryer everything for just over 2k. It did work before the compressor seized and being a tightwad I'm considering just replacing the compressor with an aftermarket cheapie from patrolapart for around $400 and getting it regassed. Any thoughts on how good those cheapies are and any other considerations?

Ended up getting a shop to sort it out completely. New Compressor, Evaporator, TX valve and receiver dryer. So glad I did, this is the old evaporator and probably why it never seemed to blow much air through the vents. Now it's awesome, fan speed 1 is all I use. All up cost a bit over $1700 but money very well spent!

Yeah wow! That obviously never had a clean in its life.
