Hi Ladies and Gents, Just thought I would respond to my own thread now that I have been able to source the correct hoses. Let me start by saying a good Google search DID NOT produce any useful results for the above Nissan part numbers. So if you need these in a hurry don't waste your time. I...

Thanks for the replies guys. @Old Tony I am in NSW but closer to the Canberra area so i've got it in locally with a diesel mechanic here. Cheers for the suggestion though, I have worked in Bathurst quite a bit so if i'm ever stuck there i'll hit up Inwood Motors. Your head replacement was a lot...

Hi Guys, Just had the EGR valve replaced and the mechanic has reported that the two EGR coolant hoses are oil soaked and soft, and recommends replacing them immediately. They have spoken to Nissan who have said that not only are there none in Australia, apparently there is not even an ETA from...

Hi all, My 2009 D40 has coolant bubbling, and suspected water in the cylinders. I've put it into the diesel mechanics to diagnose and it's looking like blown head gasket or cracked head, which I know is common with these. There appears to be no other issues with the engine, it runs without any...

Hi all, Looks like my head gasket is cracked/leaking, I have engine spewing all it's coolant out the expansion tank overflow, and when filled back up with cold water I have constant bubbling and steam. I spoke to someone who said they had a blown head in an old petrol XG Falcon, and instead...

I think you might be right... Currently waiting for a tow. Lost all coolant again through the overflow, topped it back up and its constantly bubbling and steam even with cold water. I'd say it's a head for sure now. No milky oil though. I'd have to say this has been my first Navara and I'm not...

Hi Gents, We were having this discussion in another thread of mine about a black smoke issue that was solved after putting in a blanking plate, which successfully diagnosed the EGR valve as faulty. However afterwards myself and at least one other gent had the same issue of heat loss in the...

So a development today, this morning drove my son to footy, it was about 2 degrees outside. Noticed heater was blowing cold even though I'd warmed her up and we got up to 96 degrees temp, which is fairly normal. Didn't think much of it and it was a short trip. However, after the game I was...

I am having a similar issue, the common denominator is that I blanked my egr about 2 weeks ago which resolved a low power and black smoke issue. It also means that it's diagnose my EGR valve was stuffed. Since then, I seem to have intermittent cabin heating. Even with the heat turned all the...

Hi Gents, I finally got around to ordering the blanking plate ($7 on eBay like Tony suggested). I popped it in last night and wow, what a difference it has made to the vehicle. As soon as I installed it, I started the car up to check that all was well with no error codes etc, and looking on...

So Gents, I ended up cutting the aluminium pipe, removing the short hose, and running a length of heater hose instead. A bit messy in the engine bay but solved the issue without having to resort to Nissan's ripoff buying the whole assembly. I watched a YouTube vid where a guy did this, and I...

Well thanks for the help and advice Tony and I'll let you know how I get on. Cheers

Because that doesn't appear to be a thread, I'm probably going to destroy it and then just get the right diameter hose and replace that whole hose and slip it over the aluminium and some clamps. Unless anyone else can suggest why that is a bad idea? Really annoyed about how such a pov thing...

So after some more farting about, and some googling, it looks like this is the heater core hose and the plastic link is a common failure point. No wonder, a bit of plastic like that running near 100 deg water regularly AND right behind the turbo heat shield won't last very long. The thing is...

So on closer inspection, the coolant in the radiator was low (about 4 litres only), and I topped it up with water to test, and found this join (see attached) to be pissing out. Again, I'm no guru - is this part of the heater coil for the cabin heater, and does anyone know the part number? The...

Thanks for the prompt reply Tony. That is some good info to carry out some fault finding. One thing I noticed was that in the coolant reservoir, it's it's about just over the min. Now I've only had the Nav since last October and I have no idea which coolant the previous owner was running in...

Hi Gents Have a weird one on my 2009 Titanium 2.5L diesel. Ive done a lot of town driving today running my kids around, absolutely no issues. Then this evening driving down the highway I noticed the heat out of the cabin vents started blowing cold air. Shortly after, the coolant temp rapidly...

Thanks for the above response Tony, I might do some testing when I can with a blank plate and see what results I get. @Peter Coy do you mean the Boost Control solenoid or the suction control valve? If Boost controller i've already gotten rid of it and it now has a manual valve that can be...

Thankyou kindly Tony. I have adjusted the manual boost controller a full turn clockwise which has increased the boost but not the responsiveness. Actually, I wanted to confirm something and you might know the answer - the boost levels I can see in the Torque app, are they showing the output...

Hi all, I am having black smoke issues with my 2009 Titanium edition 2.5l diesel. A bit of history: - Purchased from a dealer in October 2022. Had a few minor issues like steering rack, ball joints and a few leaky seals here and there that I had replaced - In January I lost power and started...
