3.0 T/D Nissan patrol 2007 mod

The motors are not quite the same as experts will tell you.
1 Diifference is the Patrols have variable vane turbos.

Some of all years have had probs just the $ amount that differs.

John,

you'll find everything you need to know and more on the 3L T/D at the Patrol forum. Here is the link....Patrol 4x4.


Cheers Mick

From what I understand it was pre 2001 3L motors that had some serious problems. I too read a million horror stories on the Patrol forum but I am not going to tell you another one. I own a 2005 Patrol 3L TDI and have found it to be nothing but a smooth, quiet, reliable motor that gets great fuel econemy and has good power for all but really heavy duty towing applications. I do see some folk towing large dual axle vans with the 3L but if I were going to do this I would look at some engine mods or buy a 4.8 Petrol or V8 Land Cruiser. Ive no doubt the 3L will do it but there are others out there that will do it easier.

Your mate must be very thrilled with his new vehicle.

Tell him that the 3 litre Patrol problems were well and truly fixed by 2007, and he has nothing to worry about.
