Replies: 3

I have seen one or two oil coolers fail, but 99.9% of the time it's not the oil cooler, itself, but the seal behind it, that fails. If it happens to be the seal, it's an easy and inexpensive repair. If done with an oil change, it should cost another $5 in parts (for the seal) and an extra 1/2 hours...

?: Worth fixing up?

Hello everyone, Hope all is well. I have a 2004 Nissan Pathfinder LE Platinum 2WD with 115000 miles. It runs great and I have replaced the catalytic converter along with some other repairs that have totaled about $1500 over the last year or so. It still needs body work (has multiple dents), interior...

Oil consumption is not uncommon on the early VQ35DE engines. If you are lucky, it is just a PCV valve. If it's stuck open, it will allow oil to be sucked into the intake, resulting in excessive oil burning. Unfortunately, that's not often the case. Most of the time, it's the piston rings that are c...

?: Would love your opinion on a possible purchase!

Hello everyone, Id love to get your opinion on a possible purchase Im considering. We have had 5 Nissan Pathfinders over the years, 1994, two 1997s, 1998 and 1999 and are looking at a 2001 LE version. Im not the most knowledgeable person in the world regarding cars, but this one looks and drives pre...

Check your pro date. Since you have a 94 model, you would likely need "73910X," which states for production between 7/92 to 6/94. The "73990M" was only used up to 7/93 production. The lock knobs show 6/94 pro and later. I usually purchase parts from 1stAAANissanParts.com as they...

The sunshade on the WD21's, IIRC, has two hooks on the front and there are plastic knobs at the back that thread into the sunroof glass assy. to keep it up. Refer to the parts diagram linked at the bottom: Part code "91692" is the locking plastic knob. Part code "73910X" is the ...

There should be a sliding sun shade under the sunroof that is used for this purpose. If you are referring to a cover that goes on the outside of the sunroof, I've never heard of any such cover. Thanks very much for the reply. Appreciate it! Mine doesnt have a sliding piece that would cover from und...
