Hey mate, what gave away the Timing Chain problem, was there noticeable noise that you could here or performance loss?

Just want to know what to expect ?

A rattle from the engine at start up... Usually it only acures during the first start off the day....

Hi Guy's

Here's my list

< 5000k- Front light in cabin not turning on due to buggered switch.
New Fuel guage at around 15,000k as it was reading about 20% out. Would not read even 3/4 full when I just filled it to the top.
40,000k had power loss to just over idle. Would not rev past 2000k, then when I stopped car it stalled 10 times. in a row. Left it for 1 min then tried it again. All worked fine like nothing happened. Had looked at at Nissan Moorooka. Did it 3 times again before I could get it in. They supposedly reset EMS and said let us know if it happens anymore.
Kept doing it intermittantly when i put foot down a little. (not flogging it BTW). Told them my concerns about pulling into traffic and losing all power and how dangerous it was and that I couldn't trust it when I needed it the most. Fuel economy ok at this stage, but down the track what felt like a misfire happens when it was cold at around 1800rpm. Car would shudder very noticibly. When hot problem disappeared.

30,000k Sqeak from front at 90+k/hr annoying. ( now I see it could be the bonnet rubbers I will ty the tips you all gave. Thanks!!!)
Misifre got worse and power loss happening more frequently. They tried reset of EMS and every test he could rattle off and the missfire seemed midly better, but soon got worse till around 60-70,000k.

At 70,000k they asked to have it for a week to see what they could do. Gave me courtesy car.(very much needed as I use it as a service vehicle for my job) Found out that they were going to put it a new common rail. This didn't really help anything. Took it back and they sent the fuel system offsite somewhere to have it pressue tested and found the fuel pump was stuffed along with some thing else i can't remember. Installed recond. unit. This fixed the power loss problem but a few weeks later my overall power dropped by approx 30%. Hills I could power up in 6th gear I was struggling to do in 4th while pushing it hard. Noticed smokey exhaust like you would not believe. ( so bad one of my work mates said the Cops would pull me off the road for Pollution if they saw it. This was even with the lightest of acceleration. Another friend in his Prado 150mtrs ahead of me said he could see massive amounts of smoke from my car too while I towed my 1000kg poptop van)) and the fuel econony was crap from what I was used to. Would regularly get 650k out of approx 65lt diesel. Now around 530-550 for the same amount of fuel. I carry roughly 2-300kg of chemicals/crap around at all times nearly + a canopy with roof racks since day one.

So I took it back. They were at a loss as to what it could be, so he sent the problem off to Nissan HO and they said get 4 new injectors(but would be 6 week wait as they had to come from Germany). Drove it like this till they came. If this didn't sort it then I was buggered. I know the Sales Manager there and if it didn't get sorted this time he was about to get a call.

Thanks christ it worked. They also said they had to replace the fuel pressure sensor as well BTW. That was all done at 90,000k. Now 600k from 100,000K and fingers crossed. Seems good now Mark at Nissan has helped me where he could, but his hands were tied as to getting things authorized from HO.

I need to say some things. I love the way the cars has plenty of power/comfort/ride quality/awesome gadgets/ good on the beach etc and have recommended them to lots of mates who have since got one. Will I buy another one even after this. Well probably yes, but when it happens I sure as shit want to know Nissan has gone some ways to sorting what seems to be a lot of lag in getting some pretty major issues fixed( this includes my problem and those of you others here that I see repeated on other forums time and time again.) Overall they make a great product. They just need to back it up with big improvements in restoring the faith of their customers by fixing these things up with much less accusations that it is nearly always the purchasers fault or that they just need to put up with it a problem that is obviously happening in big numbers.

I work in a service industry and have put my reputation/name/heart and soul for last 20yrs into being the best along with a hell of a lot of my work colleagues, and it virtually always pays dividends in getting repeat business and loyal customers. If Nissan wants to stay in the game then I'd hope that some smart bigwig there would see the light one day and do the same. To all the people here I hope you have good luck in getting your issues sorted soon. Sorry for the war and peace!!! Any feedback to what I have said (good or bad won't offend) is welcome. What do you folks think of their product/ Sevices overall???

Cheers

Hi

2.5 turbo diesel 2007, 30,000 ks. New rear door lock, noisy dry airflow switch in the dash somewhere that used to rattle and now it has been diagnosed with a worn crown and pinion in the diff (whining). Diff is waiting for the parts but other repairs so far have been done promptly by my dealer so I am not complaining.

My D40 is for its 10,000 this coming week. Only warranty issue thus far has been the replacement of the bluetooth module in the radio.

Nov. 2008 STX King Cab Chassis, 10,000k service just done, only needed hand brake adjusted.

Forgot to mention the electric 4 x 4 switch

seen a couple of mentions of not engaging or being difficult to engage & I've had similar experience.

Not an ideal set up for quick changes in sticky situations ... looks like old lever change is the best way.
