5 BLOWN UP GU's

[threedogs]

As stated was just down the local 4x4 shop and they have this week alone 5 blown up GUs.
some are being rebuilt one has sold his motor to another guy as he's doing a LS2 conversion
Believe it or not most were CRD not Di as I thought. Seems they all lost oil pressure.
I think a member here had a loose oil pump on his CRD and made quite a mess of his engine but he's back on the road .

Must've been "Friday Cars". How much work is involved to get to the oil pump on a CRD? If I owned one, I would reckon it would be worth checking to make sure the pump fasteners are correctly torqued.

I own one and would like to know the answer to this question

I think it is an engine out job, as you have to remove the sump, or at the very least, unbolt the gearbox, as there are hidden bolts in there......

If I get down there tomorrow I'll ask the question, and approx. cost involved $$$

this is him. He says its a engine out job. Worth it imo tho. A grand on maintenance is much better then 10 on a rebuild

I wonder if it's all model GU's ?



Ignore comment,,just read through the link..cheers guys.

I'll see what year they are as well, in fact I'll get stats on all, mileage etc

[Hodge]

Will be keen to find out what range etc... Slight cause for concern.

Hell would freeze over well before Nissan would admit there is an issue and or do a recall. Its forums such as this where you find out whats going on about the place . Thanks John for keeping us in the loop. Feel sorry for the owners that have had this misfortune.
