ST Turbo Diesel 4wd got car at 32,000 klms Regularly serviced at Nissan dealer.
1st Trip to Brisbane had to be fix Altinator at 64,000, then car started blowing black smoke and losing power. Car was taken to local dealer, blamed it on non genuine air cleaner. Changed that and then replaced Dust sensor valve drove home car still blowing black smoke, took car back and they blamed fuel filter and changed fuel filter was assured problem was fixed drove home more black smoke . Taken car back Nissan ensisted it was injecter fuel pump, Pump was taken off and tested and found to be OK. called brother in Fremantal his mate believed it to be ECT valve, told Nissan to check valve, they proceded to clean valve, end off problem, then two weeks later got back from work could hear noise in transmission car was taken back to Nissan they suggested to change Automatic Transmission. Extended warrenty didn't want to know about it. I then sought a transmission expert for their opinion and he assured me it was bearings could fix for $1300.00, had car booked in for job to be done, but car did not make it their think engine is now siezed, car waiting at Nissan to be seen.

so its a Patrol?

I wish you well.. the grenade is a common issue.. Havent heard recently of many having a happy result with blown 3.0's under warranty, I think there was a close off date wich is pretty bleep poor.

Repairs if they dont come to the party, are not cheap, new donk replacement $10-15k if they dont.. for that money, look towards a V8 Chev, or even better the TD42..

Search the forum for Val Davis' contact info at Nissan, you will need it

heres one recent report on Nissan warranty service.

groundy,
do a search on this site on 3lt issues, you will get enough info to keep you reading for a week. Also what is the build date of your Patrol?
Goodluck Pete

Was it a Nissan Extended Factory Warranty or one of the dealer sponsored ones.

If it is the factory warranty they should be OK with it. Don't take what the dealers says. Nissan was fixing motors out of warranty for a whilefor free then for parts only. But as this sounds like it is covered by the extended Nissan Warranty they have no reason to knock it back and as someone has suggested below get onto the People at Nissan in Melbourne. The womans name is Val Davis at head office on 039797 4111

Agree.
The normal warranty would have run out last year (2007) and the factory extended warranty would have added another 50,000km or 2 years, which ever comes first.
