Asked by Peter Addison
We are thinking of buying a new Nissan Patrol 3.0-litre diesel turbo aftercooled motor. You recently suggested there was a problem with the turbo motor. Is ours affected?
Answered by CarsGuide
12 Dec 2003The problems don't appear to affect vehicles built after 2000. The engines that appear most affected are the 2.8 and 3.0-litre turbo diesels built between 1998 and 2000. There was a problem with the oil level on the 3.0-litre which caused catastrophic engine failure, but was fixed by increasing the amount of oil in the sump. The 2.8-litre engine had problems with head gaskets, but both appear to have been fixed and shouldn't affect new models.
