GU -Turbo and speedo problems

Grader,

Have your Air Flow Meter checked, it could be causing the lack of power problem.

A for your speedo, etc. Not sure about that one.

Geoff.

Unlike yours my GU has only done 50,000 klms and recently exhibited problems with power when towing the van. It had to work real hard with some smoke coming out of the air scoup when pulling the van up the Toowoomba Range at Easter. Upon my return I took it into Nissan thinking it was a air flow sensor but found that the problem was with the turbo. Oil was getting past the gaskets and were stuffing up the operation. Nissan replaced it under warrenty.

Do't assume that your problem ios with the air flow sensor until you have had it fully checked out by a qualified mechanic and a Nissan one to that. My local bloke, who I have great faith in, thought it was the sensor and was suprised to hear that the turbo was at fualt.

Lets hope that whatever it is, it's not real expensive especially now that you are out of warrenty.

Best of luck,

Cheers, Patrick

Thanks guys you were right, it was the sensor. $200 later and it is going like a dream! Funny that the first check on the computer didn't pick it up but the second did.
The speedo has been a different saga. After two more days at the Auto elec. they finally deduced it is the speedo itself which needs replacing. Costs over $1000!
Since I reported it to Nissan before the warranty ran out I am hoping they will come to the party!
