Whats invloved to change the Aircon Compressor

[Hodge]

I think mine's shot, too. Is yours a genuine Nissan air con compressor? How much?

Mine makes a horrible noise when I turn the fan on.

Have a read of my thread about it here mate. Posted a little while ago.

I initially thought it was the bearing under the main pulley that was shot. This was a replacable bearing, albeit a major PITA to do.
Mine was noisy without AC/Clutch being kicked in. But when i engage AC, it goes super loud.
This means the internals of the compressor could be shot as the load is transferred off the pulley bearing onto the internal bearing.
I've taken my old compressor apart and the internals were shot and slightly rusty, very noisy by simply turning with hand. Mine would have seized up within weeks if i didnt act on it.
