fuel use is pretty good, got close to 680klm on a full tank going and coming home from the grampians on new years eve 40 degree heat with aircon all the way home. had to run it low on fuel as the dealer owed me a full tank from when i bought the truck, still had about an 1/8 of a tank left so possibly could have got 720 or more out of it.

You cant break it by doing that.
It just reverts to the settings that its programmed to do.

Hey guys had my truck's 10,000 service done today and fully mentioned the blowing smoke problem, they called me to pick it up and said it was fine. I asked what was done and he said they basically reset the ecu to which I added that I had already done that, he said you cant do it with having the correct computer machinery to hook it up. I left it at that and said i will check it out and if still blowing heaps of smoke I will be back. Got in the car and gave it stick and low and behold no smoke even under heavy load. I will have to wait till I try it at night when smoke is mosat visible in headlights. I suggested to them the injectors but he said they were or are a problem in the D40's and not the D22's. I asked him what is the benchmark for excessive smoke to which he shrugged his shoulders. He did say not to listen to forums or other peoples opinions. I will update when I take it out at night.

seems like it might have solved the problem. went for a night drive and hardly any smoke when driving under heavy load.

Hi People
I have a 2002 Navara D22 low milage
I ah exactly the same problem, instant loss of power and thick black smoke. I limped home thinking the worst. My brother and nephew have an auto electrical business. He put the tester on and no faults came up. I took the ute to his workshop and my nephew fixed it in no time. He just cleaned out the EGR valve which was clogged and then all was good. A quick cheap fix. TRY THIS

if you block off the EGR valve unit it won,t get clogged plus your inlet manifold etc will stay much much cleaner..

Nissan told me to change my fuel filter and yes it made a huge difference to the amount of smoke
