In a Nissan Micra 2014, the water (coolant) for the air conditioning system is not typically added directly to the air conditioning system itself. Instead, the vehicle uses a refrigerant (commonly R134a) for the air conditioning system. However, the coolant for the engine, which helps regulate the engine temperature and can impact the air conditioning efficiency, is added to the radiator. Here’s how to add coolant to your Nissan Micra 2014: 1. **Locate the Radiator and Coolant Reservoir:** - Open the hood of your car. - Find the radiator, which is usually located at the front of the engine compartment. - Locate the coolant reservoir, a translucent plastic container with a cap, often marked with a symbol or labeled as "coolant." 2. **Check Coolant Levels:** - Ensure the engine is cool before checking the coolant level. - Look at the markings on the side of the coolant reservoir to see if the coolant is below the "MIN" line. 3. **Add Coolant:** - If the coolant level is low, remove the cap from the coolant reservoir. - Add a 50/50 mixture of water and antifreeze (coolant) to the reservoir until it reaches the "MAX" line. - Replace the cap securely. 4. **Check for Leaks:** - After adding coolant, check for any leaks under the car. For the actual air conditioning system, if you are experiencing issues such as warm air coming from the vents, you might need to have the refrigerant checked and refilled by a professional. This requires specific equipment and refrigerant handling knowledge. If you are unsure or uncomfortable performing these tasks, it is always best to consult a professional mechanic.

I'm having soooo much more trouble than you appear to have had, putting the bold back into the spindle, after getting the ball joint back in. I was about to pull the ball joint back out, to put the bolt in first, part way. The bold appears to have a concave groove between the top of the threads and the non-threaded long neck. I messed up the threads on the original bolt trying to install it. The bolt spun and the threads got rounded and flattened on the final quarter inch of the bolt's bottom. Did you pry the two halves apart at all? When I have the ball joint in, and look down through the hole that the bold will need to go through, I do see an ever-so-slight protrusion coming from off to one side of the sleeve. The protrusion seen is just a sliver of the edge of the collar from the ball joint bolt........................................................................ Any suggestions?

Typically, shock absorbers are designed to last for a certain number of miles or years, and their lifespan can vary based on driving conditions and maintenance. It's not uncommon for shock absorbers to need replacement before springs due to their role in absorbing impacts and providing a smoother ride. Here are a few points to consider: 1. **Shock Absorber Lifespan:** Shock absorbers usually need replacement every 50,000 to 100,000 miles. Factors such as driving on rough roads, carrying heavy loads, and aggressive driving can shorten their lifespan. 2. **Spring Lifespan:** Springs generally last longer than shock absorbers and may last the lifetime of the vehicle. However, they can also wear out or break, especially if subjected to heavy use or if the vehicle frequently carries heavy loads. 3. **Maintenance and Replacement History:** If the shock absorbers have been replaced before, it might be documented in the vehicle's maintenance records. Checking these records can provide insight into the history of the parts and whether the shock absorbers have been previously replaced. 4. **Symptoms of Wear:** Symptoms indicating that shock absorbers or springs need replacement include a bouncy or unstable ride, uneven tire wear, leaking fluid from the shock absorbers, and visible sagging of the vehicle. To determine if the shock absorbers have been replaced before, you can: - Check the vehicle’s maintenance records. - Look for aftermarket parts or labels indicating recent replacements. - Ask a mechanic to inspect the condition of the shock absorbers and springs. If you have access to the vehicle's maintenance records and need help interpreting them, feel free to share the details, and I can assist you further.
