Hi guys, My engine light came on the other day, my mechanic told me its showing a problem with the e.t.c He cleared it, as my ute was driving perfectly fine. Then a couple of km's it came back on. He reckons I should remove my egr plate? Why though? Its a turbo diesel with 130 000 on the...

Thanks for the reply guys. Just not sure at the moment, I dont like how these modern diesels are set up. Too many problems are starting to emerge, its not just navaras either.

Hey everyone, Im just wondering how you go with your V6 petrol Navs. Just curious as Ive been thinking of selling my turbo diesel for the petrol model. I do realise they are more thirsty, but I did some calculations and I would be spending an extra $17 a week in fuel. Not much, and for what I...

I got it back today. As I thought he didnt notice/hear that buzzing noise. The ticking/clicking sound is coming from either the alternator or around the air-con condenser. I asked about some additives and he gave me a bottle of penrite enviro + DPF cleaner. I add that at every service. He...

Thanks guys, the mechanic has it at the moment so ill post what he has to say. Ill do those checks this weekend when I do the egr mod.

Thanks tony, Ill definitely get some. I honestly think my nav feels like its choking. May need to get the mechanic to do a manifold clean aswell. Ill see how it goes.

thanks scott, appreciate it

Hi everyone, Im about to blank my egr and remove the suction control valve, and I have a couple of questions. Firstly, what do I clean the scv valve with? Secondly once Ive completed the egr mod, what do you suggest to use to 'clean out' my engine. I would also like to clean my injectors...

Hi John, yea it is hard to hear. It was louder the other day. It is rough when its started first thing.

I have two videos with my issues. This one, issue 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnpxvFWYRQ8&feature=youtu.be shows the ticking/clicking noise. Not as bad as the other day though. I cant tell wether its coming from near the alternator or around turbo area. This one, issue 4...

Im about to do this mod this weekend, Im going to remove the whole pipe but what do you do with the 2 hoses that are connected to it? And also, did you guys add any additives after the mod to clean the motor?

thanks, nucking futs, good to know. I always thought the turbo was noisy but ive had petrol turbos and im not sure if they should sound similar in their ways. But something does make a definite whine, my work mate has the same model but with a snorkel and chip. Cant hear no whines on his.

ok thanks. I know it is hard to describe. Ive got the mechanics looking at it at the end of the week anyway, and then to the delearship if no problems are fixed. ill clean the maf too.

Some issues with my d40... EDIT: Now with videos Hi guys, new user here. Im familiar with forums and how helpful they can be, Ive been a member of hot4s, silvia nsw, skylinesaus (back in my sports car days) But the time had come to purchase a work ute for my trade. So here I'am with my 2008...
