    Purchasing 2009 Nissan Partol ST-L 3.0 Diesel

    Hi Guys, I'm am brand new to this forum and joined because I just purchased a 2009 Nissan Patrol ST-L with the 3.0L Diesel engine. It only has 55K on the clock and looks in good nick all around and that's why I decided to purchase it. It's being sold by a dealer who is offering 01 Year warranty and 01 Year comprehensive insurance.

    I stumbled upon this group as I was doing research on the vehicle and read about the disasters of the earlier ZD30 engines. I am a little worried now and was wondering if there were a few kind souls in this thread who can advise me what exactly I am supposed to look out for and what needs to be done to ensure I enjoy trouble free patrolling.

    G'day mate and welcome to the forum. A 2009 with a CRD engine and only55K, should not have any issues at all. The earlier Di (like mine) 3ltr diesels had some problems and there are methods to assist in increasing their longevity. I have seen some posts about problems with water leaks and a few other things on your motor, but they are not as common the early 3.ltr issues. If you have a warranty for 1 year you should be OK. Just keep it happy with servicing and use good quality fuels, filters etc. as this applies to all diesel motors. Dirt and water in the motor is a quick way to end a diesels life. Having said all that it is still a machine, and machines can sometimes defy all the rules.

    And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.

    Thanks a lot for your response 4bye4. This is the 1st time of owning a CRD for me. My previous workhorse was a 1992 Nissan D21 Navara with the TD27 engine and boy was that a workhorse. it had a ton of miles on it and still did everything it was asked without giving up ever. Cheap oils and filters and the works... It was however religiously serviced every 5K.
    Please advice what oil / filters are recommended for this and also what would the best service interval be? Thanks for all your help!!

    Hi mate, I wont advise anything as I am not a dealer. I use genuine filters etc in all my vehicles and also Penrie oils and coolant etc. Just search this site for say "what oil" and you will get pleanty of threads with what others do. Penrit will be upthere with a couple of others. As long as it is a quality name brand it should be ok. If you want additional info on 3 ltr diesels, search "grenade " and you will get about 5 years worth of reading.
    Cheers Tony

    First off I'd be checking the intercooler for signs of oil a sure sign its leaking.
    and therefore not holding boost. A fully tigged change over IC would be the
    way to go.
    A Catch can is helpful as well ,If you plan on fitting a dawes /needle valve then
    a set of gauges eg a boost and EGT gauge is a must, This way you can monitor whats going
    on under the bonnet with every mod you do, Google Chaz Yellowfoot as well for extra info>>>

    I take it you want to turn this Patrol into a great touring platform that
    you can live out of for a few days up to a couple of weeks

    Hey mate, thanks a lot!!
    That's quite an interesting arrangement you got there. Really clean and tidy.. I need to fix a EGT and Boost gauge too. I need some help with what the most appropriate gauges are and how best I can fit them. Do I need to start a new topic for that or am I able to get help from here?

    You have a CRD so all you need is a Scangauge and an EGT
    Scangauge (or similar) will pay for itself in fuel savings alone

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
