CRD Engine failure

[Maxhead]

Sorry to hear mate, I've heard of a few cases where the oil pump bolts coming loose and falling out causing damage. I wonder if they haven't been torqued correctly in the factory. It might pay to talk to Nissan but I don't like your chances.

Big V8 diesel going in???? LOL

I too have a 2007 crd, so I was wondering if it is a easy job to check the oil pump

Don't like your chances with MR Nissan, but I would present your case
to them with the words consumer affairs in there somewhere

Believe it or not, sometimes it does work TD. Thai built D22's have body mounts notoriously fail. Navara forum is packed with threads about it. I printed off several pages and complaints, and sent it to Nissan as well as CAA because they refused a warranty job on it. Car was 12 months old. Their reason was, a/ car has a canopy, b/ car has upgraded suspension c/ car has a bullbar and winch causing extra weight and strain. Few phone call and letter exchanges my Navara had all body mounts replaced.

Anyways sorry for straying off topic. Just trying to say, never say never. Give it a shot. Hit them up.

bignev, no it wouldnt be an easy job to check them, their on the rear of the aluminium timing cover, between it and the front of the block. Would be near on impossible in the car, I had enough trouble getting the cover off out of the car with the head and sump off, which it is bolted too.

bugger mate, as you said tho give nissan a crack, i had them change the dash in my patrol at 8 yrs old and they first refused but after several letters and phone calls they did change it, not a motor i know but worth a crack anyway and dont let their first refusal be the end of it, get and engineer to write a report on the oil pump bolts etc for ammo.

They all deny it Toyota said there was no problem with the 100s front wheels snapping off.
They also said the latest hilux tubs do not crack either, even the mighty Toyota 3 litre diesel is blowing up on the hilux
but nothing is wrong.
Seemss like this will be an easy fix with some members do engine up grades

That sux GeeYou, time to hit the boys up at Brunswick and chuck a monster in there?

Hope I dont get the same issue with my 08 CRD, very first mods I have done was EGR block and the catch can, sounds like this was an oil pump issue though.

Would be handy to have oil pressure guage perhaps? Was she running a bit louder than usual?

[boots]

Not good news. Out of curiosity what type / brand of catch can was fitted

[Parksy]

Nothing good about EGR when it comes to engine performance and life. If you do get a replacement 3l, block that first and give the intake a good clean with the intake foam cleaner from Subaru.
