GU running rough

Post by tlc75v8 »

I've got a 2005 GU 3.0 litre that at times is running rough at idle. it revs up fine and has just had major service. Any ideas what this could be?

I was deadly serious! A mate took his 3L in for a service came out not running right, thought it will be something small i'll find as i go.

he got far enough to blow up his engine and it cost him 10 grand!

You took a car with known problems in for a service and it came out not running correctly - take it back!

if you dont then be it on you IF something goes wrong. it may not, but thats a big gamble especially when its their responsibility to fix a mistake they have made.

but if you keep driving it anyway then its your responsibility.

or better than taking it to nissan specialists you could ask some guys to have a guess without seeing the vehicle on the net. :roll:

you recieved sound advice lashed out? wtf.

Did they change the fuel filter? May not be sealing properly and sucking air.

Just found out it is the duel mesh fly wheel, not meshing correctly and ''holding the engine back at idle''. Was planning on doing the clutch soon anyway.
