Hi Everyone, The fault code was for EGT bank 1 probe 1. last Wed. I fitted a new EGT. and the problem has not returned. However it is early days and I have only done about 50klms. Fingers crossed that was the problem. It's got me stumped why the MIL was not coming up originally. I would have...

Black Outlaw & Old Tony, yesterday I did an ECU reset. Fault returned within 5mins. Also yesterday teh MIL. illuminated. I shall take it to the mechanic today and check fault code. Also will double check fuel pressures and get him to check the earth points. Car goes limp under all conditions...

Czechmate, Thank you for teh reply. What year model NAV. did you have problems with the Turbo boost pressure vacuum solenoid? Mine is a 2012 and apparently it has an electronic boost soleniod, that are not known to fail. The earlier Vacuum soleniods did have problems. Happy to be corrected but...

G'day black outlaw, Thank you for the input & suggestions. After a fun weekend driving from Sydney to Lithgow return in Limp mode. with the occassional stops to reset the limp, I am totally pissed off with Navaras. As soon as I get this fault sorted I am going to sell the Nav. and get something...

Hi Jonney, i cleaned the MAF using the the special spray cleaner. A new air cleaner was fitted last service. about 2000KLMs ago. I have double checked it and it looks like new. The mechanic checked vacuum lines and I double checked it last night. I will go over all of the electrical...

Hi Old Tony, My mechanic has the analyser. I am considering getting a bluetooth device and hook it up to my iphone. Can you recommend a blue tooth device and an App for Iphone?

HELP. The new SCV fitted today. The fault remains. I'm at a total loss with this fault. No idea what to do next. To date we have done the following. 1 - left the fuel cap loose. 2 - checked small rubber hoses for leaks. 3 - drained and cleaned the intercooler 4 - fitted a new SCV. 5 - checked...

Hi Guys, Today i received the new SCv. it is a genuine Nissan P/N. A6860AW42B. Long SCV. The Ebay supplier even contacted me to double check that I was ordering the correct part. How can Nissan justify a quote of $700 for the same part that I purchased for $200. RIP OFF! Because my time is...

Thanks Jonney. The new SCV did not arrive today. Another day wasted. So frustrating. What ever happened to the good old days when you could fault find a car easily within the same day.

Hi Old Tony, Thanks for the reply. Judging by your earlier list it seems most likely that the next step is to replace the SCV. Hopefully I will receive the new SCV today and have it replaced tomorrow. I must admit that I am getting extremely frustrated with all of this trail and error method of...

old Tony mine is a 2012 model. The car was always serviced by Nissan. Shouldn't Nissan of replaced the Turbo actuator under warranty when it went in for a service?

G'day old Tony, I purchased an SCV last night. As soon as it arrives I will fit it and see if that fixes the fault. Also I will add the diesel cleaner at the same time. If neither of the two remedies above fix the fault what would be the next thing to check/change?

Hi Bods, If it was a faulty fuel pressure switch shouldn't the Eng. light come on? Does the scan tool measure the fuel rail pressure? I will run a diesel cleaner through it. Thanks for your input.

My SCV is a long type. It has a number 276 11NO25206 stamped on the body. I cannot seem to find those matching numbers on any new SCV's. Should I just buy any long SCV and fit it?

OK. So the SCV was cleaned today. I tested the car and still it goes into limp mode. Has every one been successful by simply cleaning the SCV? Should I purchase a new SCV or begin to search for something else that is causing the car to go into limp mode/
