Just replaced the fan clutch over the weekend and it is not that hard to do. Here's a step-by-step how to so you can do-it yourself. First, take off the metal cover underneath the engine. Take the intake tube, filter box and engine cover. Second, take the lower shroud. http://i40.photobucket.com/alb...

I opened this thread to let potential buyers know what they will be expecting when they buy a Pathfinder. Not complaining, just giving a heads up out there. Really? It sounded like a bunch of whining to me. Whining about how Nissan wouldn't warranty your radiator because it obviously wasn't covered...

All I'm hearing is complain, complain, complain.... whine, whine, whine. Your standing under a waterfall and complaining that your wet. For goodness sake, step out from under the damn waterfall!!!! I'm comparing my POS Pathfinder to other vehicles I've own and by far this is the worst. I have a hon...

Well, just paid off the Pathy with currently 68K on the ODO and now the D@mn thing just coughed a list of problems. Took her to the stealership to diagnose a whining noise coming from the engine compartment and check the radiator. Stealership called back and gave me a list of problems. First, "...

IMO the aftermarklet belts are more problematic than factory. You also have to be carefull about the pulley alignment, it's a n**ch to adjust, especially on V8's (which it also applies to), but be particular - even with jobber belts, you shouldn't have gone thru two and a tensioner already. eye-bal...

Well, I changed the belt-tensioner this weekend and she still squeeling like a pig. :roll: I checked every pulley and it sounds (90%)like it's coming from the alternator. I don't want to change the alternator, since its doing what it suppose to be doing except for that annoying sound. I don't think ...

So i went out and bought another new belt and all the noise is now gone. We shall see what happens in the next few months. So the belt is the culprit? How can a belt make a squeek noise? Mine is squeeling like a pig right now. It usually stops after a couple of miles. Now it squeeks the whole time.

So far.....

Belt Tensioner - 33K
Fuel Sending Unit - 52K
Air Filter - every 12K
Cabin Filter - every 30K

In the near future (less than a month)

Belt Tensioner - worse than before
Tires

There's a service bulletin for this issue (NTB06-072a)

According to the bulleting, it's an alignment issue not a part issue. Mine is doing the same also only on cold start and cold temperature. It doesn't squeek during the summer time only when the temperature is cold.

You know the stock tires aren't bad. However we have only owned the PF for a few months and had purchased it with only 13,000 Miles on the odometer. We are at 17,000 miles now and there is already significant tire wear. I have checked the pressure and it's good all the way around, as well as the al...

Just an update on this issue. Nissan finally gave me a call as I complain to them about this issue and request for "good will" to pay for the expenses. Guess what's their answer, "Unfortunately, it's not covered under the powertrain warranty." This really upsets me as I'm spendin...

Regarding the coolant leak, did you do a pressure test on the rad? Just wondering if the green stuff you see at the bottom of the core is the result of a spill when topping up? I haven't done the vaccum test, but it is a good possibility that it could be overflow when topping off from the manufactu...
