I have seen in some other places where they say just put the blanking plate in, but dont mention changing the hoses over. What happens if you dont change the hoses over?

Been reading a lot about the EGR mods, and the apparent benefits. Are there any long term (e.g. 50-100,000km) modders that can give some feedback as to if there are any long term problems?

Ok guys, I am back with a bit of an update. I went back to my mechanic and asked him about the possibility of it being the EGR valve. He agreed to "test" is by bypassing the coolant system. He fabricated a hose that effectively bypasses the EGR and I have been running with that for a couple of...

Thanks for asking. I havent sorted it out yet. I went back to my mechanic and told him about my experience with the dealer, and he wasnt greatly impressed. I asked him about the EGR, and he wants me to bring the ute around Tuesday so he can swap some hoses around to by pass it and see if that...

Thanks. The radiator guys thought that might have been the case too, but they looked all over with mirrors so they could see everywhere. Checked it hot and cold. The thing I dont get is that it is losing what I would think would be a fair amount. It should be obvious if its going into the motor...

That was the very first thing I suggested to the radiator guys, but they said it wont be that. They didnt do anything with the thermostat

Hi all, Just thought I would see if anyone can make some suggestions to help me get to the bottom of a mystery I have. For quite a while now, my 2006 diesel 3ltr D22 has been losing coolant from the expansion tank. There is no evidence of leaks, no puddles, white marks etc. I have had it to the...

Hi all, I have recently bought a 2006 D22 Navara, and it has a bit of an oil leak that I want to get some feedback on. When I bought the vehicle, I noticed the leak, and told the dealer I wanted it fixed. His guys looked at it, and said it was "blow by". Is it normal for a Navara to have an oil...
