bugga !
It appears that all is not OK.
A couple of weeks back a noise started under the bonnet. Came in at about 2200rpm through all gears.
Would not do it while car was stationary, only under load.
This noise to me sounded like a Throw Out Bearing........
It also had me thinking of a bearing of some sorts ( maybe one that was drowned some time ago ) air con, power steering ???? It even sounded like a fanbelt, you know that skreeching sound.
So, stopped off at my fav 4 x 4 shop at Slacks Creek and spoke to Brad.
Looking under the bonnet he noticed a bolt missing from the alternator bracket... mmmmm not good. Put in new bolt, but noise still there. We managed to get the motor to make the noise while stationary.
he and other mech decided I should not drive car as it appeared the problem could be in the turbo. damn.....................
Next day I get phone call late arvo saying issue is fixed.
Seems that ' other ' ( problem mechanic ) got a little slack. All bolts around the turbo, intake and manifold were loose. The gasket at the flange was also loose and " not happy ". The noise was intake sucking air.
There is not doubt how this happened. So, I am now at pains whether to call "other ' mech and let he know about his ineptitude.
I will have to replace the manifold / flange gasket down the track of course, but again, it was not my fault. The ' other ' mech caused this to happen. It will cost me a day labour ( mechanic ) and bugga all for the flange gasket and my vehicle off the road for another day. NO......... this is not a Nissan issue you Toyota drivers.
The Nissan is going well and has just clicked over 200,000k's..... and is 6 years old.
