I have a D40 2012 Thai built 2WD manual drive Navara and it has about 90k on the clock. I think I have two problems but they may be related. Reading about limp mode around the internet but nothing that I could find that relates to my issues.
Below are the 2 issue I have:
1. Knocking sound coming from around the turbo charger. It appears to be the boost control actuator but not sure. When I accelerate and take my foot off and the engine speed reaches 1500rpm, you can hear the clicking sound. Its not too loud or concerning. Could it just be the actuator or could it be the vanes of the turbo?
2. Loss of power going up hill. Was told by the dealer after they did a full service to the truck that my intake tube that connects the air cleaner assembly to the turbo is weak and will collapse leading to loss of power. They took it out and cleaned it and put it back. However, when I lost power, the truck did not have any black smoke. Happened to me twice and the second time I switched off the engine and started back and no issues. Something wrong with the electronics? What could it be? Maybe something wrong with the reading to the turbo? Or with that clicking sound above?
