Just a heads up, I've merged this with an existing thread. We welcome everyone's input, but please first do a SEARCH, to see if anyone else has experienced a similar issue (If you look to the right side of your screen, you'll notice the RED flashing SEARCH link).pteodor wrote:Hi,
I have a problem with my 2014 SV Rogue. After using the defogg and switching to normal ventilation, the AC compressor is still "ON". You can hear it by turning "off" and then "on" the ventilation knob. After turning the AC "on" and then "off", the problem will dissapear (sic). Did any of the owners of a similar model encounter this problem?
Thanks!
I've merged your post with an existing thread on this topic.JerseyJim wrote:It takes awhile to send decent heat. On the setting for legs or low angle it is not warm enough and If I don't set it to the upper and low and shut off the air recycle it is lame. Is this common?
i just threw that idea out there, to calm the nerves of people. its not a broken car or a serious problem. i assume its got something to do with the thermostat.memyself wrote:5.56 I had a versa, sentra they have smaller engines then rouge and never experienced such a problems with heating.
Maximus099, well said "Its like all or nothing" same situation here.
Lies. Nissan uses the 2.5L in many many applications world wide and all of them have a port for a block heater. Remove the plug and screw in the block heater (also replace gasket). In some markets (such as Canada) nearly EVERY SINGLE NISSAN CAR sold nation wide comes installed with such a device. The dealer your using is clearly daft.I contacted the dealer to see if we could install a engine block heater to heat the engine cooland or engine block but they explained they don't make one for the vehicle and if they were to put one in it would be an adhesive model for $125 ($30 at local auto parts stores)
We batted the block heater subject around for a few months last year. Look here:RyleyinSTL wrote:Lies.

Saying that...unless you are consistently getting overnight lows below say -15c, it's not really required.
And when refilling I always use distilled water - not tap water. No minerals. Up to you...5.56 wrote:i drained my stock engine coolant, and refilled it with a 60/40 mixture this year, versus a 50/50, and i gotta say there is a noticeable improvement. it certainly heats up quicker, and produces a slightly warmer cabin.
YES: using more water reduces your freezing protection in the winter
YES: water IS the best thing for an engine in the summer. water has better thermal conductivity that engine coolant.
YES: all cars in the desert use straight water, with a cup of engine coolant to protect the seals.
normal 50/50 coolant mixture has a freezing temp of: -37C / -35F.
so by making a 60/40 or 70/30 water to coolant ratio, i probably reduced the -35F to -20. which is fine. i live in NJ
thats pretty obvious. i didnt think i needed to clarify on that lolphmichel wrote:And when refilling I always use distilled water - not tap water. No minerals.

Merged with existing thread. Please see previous posts.wchunter wrote:I drove my wife's 2015 Rogue for the first time this evening in cold weather. We've had the vehicle since April. We drove for 10 minutes after the temperature hand reached warm, and with the fan at the medium level, the heat was never above comfortable. After wee got home, I had the temp turned up to 90 and the heater would not throw out hot air unless we were sitting still and the vent pointing straight out. When I took the vehicle in for its first oil change, I informed the dealership that the AC was never "cold" and they attributed it to "too much freon" in the system. My Tacoma will run you out if I turn my heater on high after it warms up. Is this a normal heater for the Rogue? The outside temp coming home tonight was 27
