Re: Alternator questions

What't the average life expectancy of the alternator? Mine died at 185K km without any warning, no low-voltage light. It started with that the gearbox didn't shift, remained in the same gear. First I thought the gearbox died on me :shock: . Parked the car at the shoulder and wasn't able to start due...

Engine cooling fan clutch & overheating

Hi, Last summer it happened to me twice that the engine temperature crawled up. No overheating or losing water, just the needle moved up from it's normal stable position. Both times towing a really small trailer with a motor cycle (together not more then 200kg). Once on uphill on a high way doing 90...

Re: Italy The Grand Tour

Very cool. very cool indeed. I bet that little Fiat got a bit of claustrophopia next to you? 8) Going around with the pathfinder in these old cities is scary as well, narrow streets and tight corners. Looks decent, planned few trips by myself aswell but since that corona panic all over da world is ...

2 types of AC compressors?

Hi, I've just had my ac serviced. Had one leak at the condensor and one going into the front evaporator and somewhere near the rear evaporator. Three new o-rings and and probably the major leaks are now covered now. But... the shop mentioned that the compressor was leaking near the clutch. Not much,...

Re: Found my coolant leak

Mine are corroded in three places: Above the exhaust, some 15cm further down and finally just before the rear heater core. If (if!) I'm going to repair this then it is the whole section, a hose from above the exhaust right into the heater core. Problem is that there is no place to fix these hoses to...

Re: Found my coolant leak

Resolved. No rear heat anymore, but that's no problem for the next months. Rear A/C still functions :mrgreen: . If I get to it I will have a look at the corroded lines going into the rear heater core. IMG_9484.jpg IMG_9483.jpg Not in the pictures but I capped the open lines so no debris gets in.

Re: Found my coolant leak

Mmh, looks like the last section of pipes (covered with a hose) going into the rear heater core are corroded as well. Before setting of for a big trip I want to fix this. Is it an option to bypass the whole rear heater section right at front passenger wheel well? That is to make an U joint at the bo...

Re: Questions about buying a Pathfinder

https://engineswork.com/engines/nissan-engine/vq40de-engine.html rare, but happened to mine. There is some sort of EGR systems where an exhaust valve is opened during the intake stroke, allowing exhaust gasses to be sucked back into the cylinder transporting ceramic dust. If you hear a rattling cat...

Re: 08 misfire aftermath

Don't know how expensive a coil is, but I would replace all of them. They all had the same amount of miles.
