06 Impala AC Compressor by endurancemom

I had a new AC Compressor put in my 06 Impala (66,000miles) for total cost of $800 including parts/labor. I had to find the part online as all the local shops had it on backorder. I went to discountacparts.com and got it NEW for about $350. All the dealerships and GM warehouses were quoting $600+ for the part. I had it shipped direct to my repair shop where the guys fixed it in about a 3 hour time window. I was told it's a common part to go bad on these 06 models.

Gm has been using Nippondenso compressors for the past few years, those compressors are total junk & are expensive to replace. I've replaced several of them over the past few years on various GM products. Unfortunately, our beloved Impalas also use them. Our '06 Impala SS has some compressor noise after its been driven on a long trip while using the AC. I'm sure its only a mater of time before it fails.

How to replace the driver side temp. actuator? Help. by zeog

The driver side climate control of my 2004 chevy impala doesn't work, only code air and no heat regardless of the temp. control. I searched here and found that it might be the problem of driver side temp, actuator. Could somebody tell me how the part look like, where it is located, and how to replace it? It would be great if you have pics for that. Thanks.

Thanks for the detailed description! I also have an 05 Impala. I got the part for $46.16. That included tax. Once I found out what the part looked like I was able to find it and replace it! The dealer said it would cost $109.00 to change it. A local repair shop said they would do it for $100.00. I did it in an hour and a half an donly had one screw left over. The part was made in China. I took apart the old actuator and it has 3 plastic gears and a motor in it. The gears were still intact. Evidently the motor failed. Yes, the motor said it was made in China. I am guessing the part cost G.M. about $4.00 at most. I am wondering if I should buy another actuator before the price goes up. The passenger actuator is probably right around the corner as far as failure.

Can't change where the air blows by ppollock

Hi,
 
The temperature controls work, the fan speed works, everything works except the air comes out half on the feet and half straight ahead and it won't change.
 
Turn the control knob to set it to feet or face or windshield and nothing happens.
 
Any ideas how to fix this? it would be so nice to be able to set the air to blow up on the windshield in winter!

Are you asking about the remote start feature? Is it possible to reprogram that the defrost stays on.

AC Compressor clutch bearing? (2000) by blaineb

Thought I heard a vacuum leak noise (that kind of high pitched hissing sound) while driving my 2000 Impala, but when I opened the hood I could tell it was a grinding sound coming from one of the pulleys. It goes away when I turn on the AC. What's the cause and is there a (low $$$) fix?
Thx.
Blaine
