Psyxologos Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Hi. Can you please expand on the engine mod? What is that? Is this relevant to Pathfinders and Navaras 'aventura' or does it relate to all Navaras and Pathfinders? PM sent with regards to pictures too!

jeff8861 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Hi navaras and pathfinders have a problem with cam chain snapping, then blowing the engine to bits. a local engineering company that specialises in these cars modifies the crank and other component's and fits a strong dual chain thus saving your engine. If you check out the Nissan 4x4 centre you will get a better idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I need to let him know? Thanks for the Pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redgum Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 i am now c**ping myself as I have a navara Aventura which I am certain hasn't had the Mod.......... ohhhhhhhh noooooooooooo I will never sleep tonight,,, I have to drive back home from Glasgow to Cumbria tomorrow Wouldn't worry about not having the mod mate, if the timing chain is stronger then something else will break, trade it in on the way home for an Isuzu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratts Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 http://www.navaraownersclub.com/2009/10/the-infamous-d22-engine-problem/ Quite well known issues by all accounts. Nice motor by the way mate good luck with the sale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Fairly sure the problems were with the D22 engine, which I think was changed to the D40 engine in 2006. Had no problems whatsoever with my 2009 Navara which now has 110k on the clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff8861 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Hi the problem is still ther on the d40 and the new ones are no different Nissan have denied all knowledge of the fault even though the U.S. market took them to court Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fandango Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 hi jeff8861,, home safely,,, really appreciate the good advice though as I didn't know there was a fault, I am looking at billcar for a double chain timing belt and best of all they do a decent chip as well,,,,,, bit of cash but better than looking for a engine replacement.... mine has 120k on the clock and does between 600 to 1200 a week so its worth looking into the after market timing chain. really thank you for the heads up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
796 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Billcar are excellent i bought the bits to upgrade my d22 engine from there the d22 and 40 engines have different problems by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 These are posts from the sales thread for a Nissan Pathfinder Aventura that got a bit side tracked discussing this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct mate, and verified by nissan mechanics and engine testers at Shell, I know ,I looked into the matter deeply before buying mine All cars " break "at some point , no matter how well maintained, Atb Flynny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
