Hey everyone, I drive a 2009 Pathfinder Diesel, which I know shares the same drivetrain as the D40 Nav. I picked it up in Brisbane with 270kkm on the clock, and drove it back to Darwin where I live - I didn’t manage to achieve any better than 530km to a full tank of diesel, and since I’ve gotten back here, I’ve had white smoke being expelled from the exhaust at low speeds and at idle, with the fumes coming through the air vents in the cabin. I’ve since had the DPF manually regenerated, the MAF sensor cleaned (was dirty and caked in gunk) and the radiator replaced, and had a full service and oil change done. After the service it was running great with much more power for the first few days, felt like a brand new car, but since then it’s gone downhill, it feels even more down on power than it did previously, and since filling the tank, it’s done 280km and I’m already down to under a quarter of a tank.. this economy seems to me like it’s running rich. Does anybody have any suggestions around what it could be, whether it’s mechanical or perhaps the previous owner may have messed with the computer and tuned it in a particular way? I’m really concerned and am almost at the point of trading it in but, any suggestions would help if it means I get to hold onto it, other than this, it’s been a good vehicle. Thank you in advance!
