Guys.... Compressor went bad.. Had a new one bought... When I took it to the AC man to change, he said its for a Tiida but will still see if it lines up and put it in. It lines up fine and AC pumping again. Problem now is, the air flow keeps switching to fresh air circulation... On its own.. What could be causing that now? Is it because it's a Tiida part or is that electrical? ??:

[trinimark]

A co worker of mine had the same problem and took his to massy. It turned out there's a cabin air sensor that automatically switches the system to fresh air when the air quality is at a certain CO2 level. Well that's what they told him.

[Shelshuk]

O gosh.. Thanks. But it never used to happen before the change.... So now I wondering if the sensor tripping or that CO2 build up is because of the Tiida compressor? Sigh! Wait.. Are you talking about the area that says Ion below and clean on top?

[trinimark]

I'm not certain cus I never had the problem myself. I'll ask him tomorrow and post what info I glean.

[Shelshuk]

Ok cool. Thanks!

Saw this issue highlighted on one of the nissan forums online a while back, I will try an locate it to see if they have a solution to the issue.

[Shelshuk]

It's best you carry the car to a garage where it can be done properly..I too was a DIY guy before I got my Sylphy and so far the advice given is not to interfere.

Simple thing as cleaning the TB can't be done The mechanic going to get all my money once more.

TB?

[Biggs3ne]

Throttle Body

Why can't you clean your tb yourself?

The Trottle body in the Sylphy is electronic or E-Trottle as it is commonly called there are no manual adjustments on it, therefore when its scrapped and cleaned or the flap is moved if you try to clean it with a rag it has to be idled back to specs with a diagnostic tool from inside the vehicle. Also keep in mind these cars have an X-Tronic CVT transmission that is integrated with the Trottle positioning sensor mounted on the Trottle body that sends a signal to the transmission together with speed sensors that allows the transmission to operate. These parts are not cheap so it is recommended that you take it to someone capable to service it. I had mines done twice and it works great, Total cost to change plugs service injectors TB and MAF sensor $1000.00.

That's nice but if you turn the ignition on and press the accelerator pedal the butterfly will open allowing you to clean the throttle body. If this isn't enough you can also remove the throttle body and clean from either side all without having to use a scan tool in order to do the idle relearn.
I could be wrong, feel free to correct me.

Yes you are right, but then it would depend on the owner having a certain level of know how as with all DIY projects, then again I have learned a lot through trial and plenty errors so I agree with you. To the sylphy owners its your choice, personally I prefer to do a total service by a mechanic when its due.

If the car idles high after a diy tb cleaning simply disconnect the +ve batt terminal for 60 seconds and reconnect. Of course clock and stereo preferences will have to be reset (no scan tool needed for that).

Oldest trick in the book, right after hitting it.

This could be done but the deck an navigation system together with the built in camera system will have to be reprogrammed, this is not a cheap fix if you don't have the right disc for the system. some men out there charge up to $500.00 to do it.

I know of all the 'tricks' you guys speak of, but I'm not prepared to pay for a costly mistake...I give electronicall y controlled parts the respect they deserve..

Guys, I brought down a F/U 2009 bluebird sylphy last month and i'm preparing for the first maintenance. Any advice on what to do, check for?

Also, what is the best engine oil and transmission oil to use (CVT)?
