Hate to say this but the V6 diesel injection system is a bloody nightmare, simply too much unnecessary stuff on it and the egr system just sucks- After lots of drama mine is running perfectly and it’s for sale- I’ve replaced it with an Amarok which will be replaced before the warranty runs out 🤣🤣

I’ve rebuilt mine and it’s running well, however I believe that the main bearings are too small, I chipped mine and 50,000 km later- failure, many reports of longevity with no chip , but love the extra power

Hey "Billyburnout" what's your opinion of the V9X bottom end, mine for the record is that the crank mains are too narrow and don't seem to handle the load, it also seems that 220k is the limit when they quit.

Back to the V9X engine issue one thing I've experienced is that you need to remove the OB2 connector (I'm using a MaxiAP AP200M Autel excellent product) after clearing and before checking for new codes. My experience was a whole lot of 'new' codes arrived when I left the bluetooth adapter in...

Hey Cowboy550 I also have a friend who has a Tesla S was looking at after Old.Tony's comments and wow am I impressed check the 4500kg towing 'truck' out coming later this year can order one with $150 deposit:redcool: Sometimes it pays to actually have some knowledge :D

It's going to be real interesting watching on the sidelines, rare earth miners are going to make a killing, and as technology is changing so fast many will go broke chasing the elusive new metal with all the answers. China's already stitched up most of the African territories. I can't see it in...

But Canada has solved the problem apparently they are banning new combustion engines from 2050

A few lessons learned - 1. slow down and pay attention to the small details 2. problems are always solvable, depends on how much we're prepared to invest 3. The little "pollution" that all this "EGR recirculating stuff" supposedly saves, is more than outweighed by the cost ($ and pollution) of...

Runs like a new one just a bit “wet” underneath 🤣🤣

Well there’s never a simple answer, firstly yes - due to an oil leak when installing the timing cover, should’ve been more careful. However the starting issue is resolved and it came down to the “condom” Cap on the primer connector, I was priming, but before attempting to start removing the...

Awesome the tricks of every model; Thanks that makes sense, I'll give it a go and revert

Hmm, It's bloody cold here atm so I can't see how it could be too hot, i'll give the unplug replug trick tomorrow. I did have issues when I tried to "delete" the EGR, a tune up company did it and I had issues with fault codes coming up continually until they had the car for a week or so and...

I have an issue with fault code P2457 EGR cooling system ?? I've checked plugs etc: cleared the code, which then reappears after 1. approx 2km drive 2. I attempt to use the cruise control. Can't see how they are related but wondering if someone has any experience with the code error.

If I am correct (I've attached a schematic drawing for guidance) there is NO check valve/backflow valve that prevents air being admitted to the system. Refer to drawing to follow my discussion - At the fuel filter supply (refer section 'A') there is a check valve that stops fuel going back to...

Further update - Hand primed, now the interesting part is that there is a valve between the fuel filter and pump that ensures that air & fuel is bled out of the fuel supply lines and fuel rail prior to any incoming fuel from the filter (this is the 3 way connector), so given that, we should...

Update - still no start on diesel, process was to fully bleed the system via the primer which gave a pretty clear fluid flow, certainly good enough to provide some real pressure from a good pump. I then attempted to rebleed the system at the injectors, little or no fuel resulted, we are supposed...

Just some inside info (or - so I'm told by a dealer service manager) - when the 550 is delivered it has "straight running in " engine oil in it, and also my engine machine shop also advised the same, it is required by the Nissan manufacturer to change it to synthetic at 10,000 km to achieve the...

Should have mentioned that as part of the rebuild I had the injectors checked by the local diesel specialist all okay

Thanks for all the input, I really appreciate the help. In total frustration and advice from elsewhere I used "start ya *******" to see if it would actually fire - we have combustion in fact I actually thought it might start running on it's own accord at one point. So it comes down to fuel...

Hey Andyjo how the hell did they/you get the engine started eventually?? I'm really curious as I have a similar issue with no joy
