I wouldn't think it was a head gasket as that would blow water out the expansion tank due to compression force over running the cap pressure, I have had this problem on a Ford. Is there not a heater bleed valve located at the top of the front to back section. white smoke is common in Canada over win...

I had an evap valve replaced under APC warranty but am sure they did not follow TSB. should they have done this? They did sheer the bolt holding up the canister so I know they did that. I had an SES light on prior to replacement. I am out of warranty now but should I be asking for this TSB to be don...

Although I have a V6, I think this issue was solved with the replacement of the EVAP valve assembly. Mounts to the top of the black canister behind the rear passenger wheel. Sorted under warranty so a little vague.

I thought on behalf of Canadian owners I would contact Nissan Canada re rad warranty. I was told it was for 120 months / 160000kms and did have a pro rated element . I checked the sticker that they sent and it say 96 months / 130000kms so I assume this is an upgrade based on the class action in NY. ...

thanks for the answer.

So, do you remove the unit from the air intake and spray the surfaces with MAF cleaner or is there a slot or area that you need to spray into.

MAF cleaning

I set off today with the expectation of cleaning the MAF sensor. however when I removed the air cleaner box and short pipe I was confronted with a small silver cartridge item, not what I was expecting. So I saw a little dust on the cover that was all. Can you clean these with MAF cleaner? and if so ...

I have been looking at power bleeding my brakes. I have looked at several units and even tried an old master cylinder unit, but it wouldn't seal. I have decided to make my own. I have a large peanut butter tub and drilled a couple of oles for the bleed pipe and the vacs inlet. Getting a good seal is...

I made a small top and bottom sandwich plate to stop the leak, but have not reconnected yet. However, I am looking at the sequence which is ...

So I have eventually tracked down the problem. I was thinking it had something to do with the install of my P3 brake controller but it was not. I had just day before purchased an Ultra Gauge unit to read engine data and fault codes etc. I also wanted to see if by having the instant MPG I could hype ...

So finish the final testing today and all is as it should be. I used a trailer connector with both a 7 way RV and 4 way connector combo. It connected onto the existing 4 way installed by Nissan , the white 12 volt and blue trailer brake wires I took from the Nissan plug. If you look at this unit is ...

I used the Nissan one fromP3 It would appear that I had a bad relay. new one arrived and has been installed for 1 week withou...
