[QUOTE="gcarch, post: 468092, member: 13276"] Hi Palister I recently had the very same problem. Refilled my gas, cooling lasted for about 3 weeks down to about a week the second time. Brought my Z in for checking at a local aircon shop. He whipped out a gas detector. Poked around the radiator area and all around the gas piping joints- NO leaks. Went inside my car, jammed the probe into the vents- Alarm sounded. Apparently the cooling coil in our Z's dont last very long (max 5 years). Its a common problem with leaking cooling coils. Had it replaced with a genuine OEM coil for RM3800. That includes my broken a/c condenser (leaking oil), cooling coil, gas refill and workmanship. Plus, he fixed my air blower control too. (blower only works at highest setting) :)) Next to replace would be the a/c compressor. :))) I'm also due for a lambda sensor change too. (2 nos, just after the exhaust manifold) Hope this helps. Cheers bro. Happy Z'ing. :))) [/QUOTE]
