You're kidding me... another timing cover leak.

[zoki]

Guys to say, I'm angry is a huge understatement. I'm mentioned coolant smell one we got home from echuca in my intro thread. This morning few drops on the diff & axle evident. Hard to say where from, I'm confident it's the timing cover from behind & and left of alternator.

I only bought this recently and my original patrol the Di had same issue.

In pretty sure I have the statutory warranty still from dealer.

Only last night was praising it to my mate and making a small list of near future mods. And now this. Far out....

What a joke mate. I feel for you. I don't know if you seen my thread or not, but I am going through the exact same thing. Mine is progressively getting worse. Each night when it cools down, reveals a larger puddle in the morning.
If it's under warranty you should be sweet? Is yours new? Cost for it is ranging from $1800 to nearly $4k (through dealer).
Mine is turning into a bigger lemon than the vs commodore I had... Very very frustrating.

Mine will be covered. Just waiting on Nissan to book me in. They want 5 days. So annoying but, won't cost me a cent. Mines good now cause of weather.

That is a good outcome mate.

Zoki, can you update you signature with model and engine type - it helps when people respond to your posts

Does anyone think this is a common "fault" with the CRD or just affects a few models.
We know Hodges is an 09 now need to get some more data happening

I think his is a 09 like mine, judging by his intro???

I have had the nissan bloke at stealership and a guy a 4x4 solutions tell me, the worst of these were the last DI's, so, a lot from 06. But have seen them happen to many 3L across all years.

There is many more mentioned on the other ​nissan patrol forum, than there is here.

Hi guys. My leak has been fixed but it is still at Nissan waiting for other parts to put everything back together. Total cost of $4900 covered by stat warranty.
And sorry mine is a crd 2909 .

Holy farkin' s#it. Glad it wasn't your wallet mate. ONce and if you get a printout of complete works, do you mind posting it up here so we can see what exactly does nissan do and what do they replace. Mines still to be booked in.

Cheers.
