Thank you for clarification, @Old.Tony!

I am a bit confused. The mushroom-like valve on my picture, with vacuum line input and vacuum connection to turbo actuator, is electronically managed and as I understand,,this is SCV, Solenoid Control Valve. But few posts above you were talking aboit SCV, which ahould be located in front of...

Hmmm... isn't this the sucker we are talking about? Interesting, I changed mine 3 times in a row, first 2 replacements were faulty new, while the 3rd one worked just fine for 2 months, now it shakes like phone on vibration and emits buzzing sound, which can be heard quite loud in the cabin...

Indeed, obviously needs attention... or I (and all mechanics till now) have been looking into wrong direction. I have a chance to sell it for pretty good price, or face all the problems and expenses for the sake of loving the car.

Hi, I appologize for maybe duplicating the question, but I am a bit desperate. Having problems with 2010 Pathfinder with 3.0 V9X engine - a lot of smoke when accelerating between 1000 and 2000 rpm on highway, turbo lags some 5 seconds, just black smoke.... then pulls like crazy. What I noticed...

Boosting old post, but it's rare to find somebody taking V9X engine out. I am having simmilar problems, 5-10 seconds turbo lag and a lot of smoke giving it gas between 1000 and 2000 rpm, all dirty oily back around PCV and turbo, but when turbo kicks in, it is extremely poweefull, blows out old...

Hi, It's not Navara in my case, but R51 Pathfinder 2010 with V6 3.0 engine V9X. Having problems with smoke/poor acceleration in low rpm range, also she drinks quite some oil. I suspect injectors, maybe compression, but most of all turbo - there is quite some oil and black gunk around PCV and...

Nice to hear! Today I drove on heavy rain and those flipped-overs behave just excellent, despite of random very light shaking. So I decided to keep them as is for a while and see, if they will surrender to new placement. BTW...how were MT's on wet or snow, if you had opportunity to drive on it...

Obviously flipping tires was a bad decision. Balanced them twice after flip, rotated them on wheels, but still slight shaking is present. Will not do it again and I do not recommend. Instead, only rotating them as shown on opening post is so far the best practice. As long as they are...

Hi! This is always going on debate, with pros and cons, so it's time to pop it up again. I have non-directional symmetric tires Cooper Discoverer AT3 Sport2, for which Cooper suggests this tire rotation scheme for all 5 tires: So, I was doing this every 5000-6000km for last 25-30k and all was...

That's nice list of possible reasons. Now I need to figure out the way to diagnose, as in my case delay, smoke and bad response is random - sometimes it pullsy like it should, sometimes it just smokes. I can feel it....will try to record all possible data and make some conclustions out of those...

Tony, I've had problems with DPF last year, went into limp mode and triggered engine light, then I reset it, drove some highway and it was good for a week or two, then again. So after few months of struggle I concluded it is a combination of possibly restricted DPF + chiptuning, so I removed DPF...

Damn... few days ago we took the 2nd CAT off, together with muffler, and there was no change. Still turbo like overboosting and P0235 code. Then we changed for the 2nd time SCV Suction Control Valve and it seems to resolve the problem with P0235 code- no DTC since then. BUT with or without...

Hej Olpha, thank you for your input. So I have great chances to simply diagnose 2nd unit below vehicle - I will just break the pipe apart just before 2nd unit, let it few centimeters gap and take a test drive. If 2nd unit is blocked, then this should diagnose the problem. Then probably new...

Hey, yes, following the same video I bought it - ThinkDiag. Spent 90 EUR (On Amazon, here) and it's worth it. (...despite menus are hirearchial and you must go over from beginning every time you turn engine off, from car selection, engine, blah, blah...annoying, but you get used to). I am...
