[threedogs]

Is that half a goat?? lol anyway doesn't sound good. trying to get my head around the system. I keep coming up with a blockage some where.
Hope Goat gets home ok. keep us up-dated please

As this is an odd problem, to help yourselves and the dealer I would be removing the insect screen as well. I know that I was originally told not to put a screen across the front of the grill too.

Anyway of getting in touch with the previous owner to get some history, books can be fudged

Home! Engine light still on. Guess it just means that there is a "code" happening somewhere. Unfortunately the engine didn't blow, but the needle went as far across the gauge as it could go, steam and coolant poured out of the overflow tank. Coming in the morning with the tilt tray to pick up the vehicle. The insect screens have been on since the locust plague in 2010. Never had a problem. We've had it since new so no fudging on the service history. Sad that it was a tad late to ring Nissan Australia. Someone in customer service will cop a mouthful in the morning.

Do a fair bit of reading here one thing keeps popping up. just throwing this out there. check or re do all the earth straps for engine, chassis and dash, it may be causing a sensor to throw out an incorrect reading causing a fault. thats all I've got. Disconnect your battery for an hour to

How would that explain the overheating though?
I'm not saying it wouldn't, genuinely don't understand how because I'm a mechanical gimp lmao

Mr Goat, I would definately now be asking for new compresion test and watch them do it, and ask for a print out of results.Also presure test the radiator it could be the radiator cap. NO engine likes that sort of abuse. It is only the beginnig of trouble now. Good luck don`t let them try putting any thing over you. There is always the mta. ( Motor traders association) They have helped me in the past.

Krisstoffa if it has a faulty earth, its like touching the battery terminal with a wire, sparking and farting with no constant power, but talking earth, sort of like yes its on ,no its not, yes it is,.
until the earth is fixed properly you'll never get a correct reading,or power going to sensor

Tell Nissan to get a mechanic to look at the car not a first year apprentice it shouldn’t take this long to work out a overheating issue... they are seriously a bunch of idiots. have they told you what they have done to fix the issue or are they being very vague.
i agree to get a courtesy car while they sort it out

[Goat]

Just thought you might like to see what the temp gauge ended up on.


And the engine bay during the overheating session this arvo:
