2000 GU Patrol Engine Problem

At the moment have it in Canberra at Cooma Diesel

Hi, Jason. My 3 litre patrol did the same thing, cutting out completely. The RACV managed to get it going a couple of times, after the third time it was towed to the dealers. I had extended warranty. The dealer said the problem was caused by dirty fuel and will not be covered by warranty, but I found enough evidence on the net and through these forums to prove that the fuel injection pumps regularly fail on these and Rodeos which apparently have the same pump. I presented the dealer with this information to prove that it is a design fault, it was fixed under warranty, I also know others who have had the same problem. I recommend that you fight hard otherwise you are up for a lot of money for the repair.

An obvious answer, go to the Nissan dealer .... the problem is that there are so many cynics scaremongering on this forum that they frighten people off going to their dealers. Sure you may get things done cheaper at some small workshop with little or no test equipment or service tools, but the dealers do have the right equipment & tools, and these come at a huge cost, so of course you pay a bit more!

Also the dealers are supported by techs from head office where the smaller guys have to suck it and see all the time costing the customer heaps. I'm not a big fan of dealers either but there are times where it makes sense to use them.

Hi..
"Will tell you exactly" is a bit strong here. It certainly "may" tell if it is something that CAN be detected by the ECU.
The injection system is actually a BOSCH system and therefore any bosch diesel place may be able to help.
