Navara D40 fuel effiency
Posted: Fri Feb 08, 2008 12:47 pm
Hi,
I have a D 40 2.5 T/D Auto and I, like most other owners of this type of vehicle, am getting poor fuel consumption. 15 l/100 - town 12.5 - h/way and 20 to 25 l/100 when towing (gently)
I have noticed the VNT turbo controller bobbing up & down at about 3 cycles / second, this to me is UNSTABLE.
The ECM is located in the HOT engine bay and reaches temperatures in excess of 60*C. (As most operations are controlled through the ECM, this may explain some of the problems Nissan is having).
Nissan aren't offering any help and only give "customer relations self survival" type answers.
With their head continually in the sand (and arse in the air) like that it's a wonder someone hasn't come along and done something indecent to them
( but then maybe they have & maybe nissan like it
)
Can anybody help with the technical problems
