well I found a 2001 xe with 5sp in better condition going to have a look at it this weekend. not as loaded but maybe that's ok too,

Well when I drove it the engine overheated so I stepped back didn't want to get involved with a u known if it has happened before I'll keep looking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That going to be a hard area to deal with? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well no open recalls and the shock towers are good. Just the rust in the rear wells goes into where the back doors are Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is that just for the U.S.? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

well some of the rust bubbles are about where the flares are so it will need to have some cosmetic cleanup done to it for sure and where the flares screw into the wheel well there is rust there so some form of repair needed for that too.....

i see it is quite the process that bulletin is from the states canada must have a equivalent bulletin i imagine.

i guess bring a screw driver and poke it...

ok ill have a check

i looked in the engine bay at the shock towers they looked ok to me...or do i check them from inside the wheel well?

isn't there a recall on those?

i appreciate all your help i know this is going to be my project vehicle just hate seeing the rust ....and all the little things not working but thats what this is about learning and reading and asking questions of you pathfinder owners and getting help.

por15 the best way to treat the rust?

and the rust is a common item under the fender flares just remove them and treat them as best as possible.....

Has rust under the rear flares and one of the front flares drivers side. Also rear windows go down but not up with the switch. Have to use drivers switch. Rear hatch won't unlock unless you use the key in the door. Has the dial 4x4 system is this any good? Are these all fixable issues? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

yes is there a list of maintenance items to do to the truck somewhere sorta checklist for myself?

yes I know I will need to do a out of province inspection to get it registered and I will do some more checking and take it for a long test drive to see if it overheats or makes weird noises but even at this price it would make a good winter vehicle when the roads were bad with too much snow....and after seeing what everyone has done on here to theirs it gives me ideas even with a vehicle with the mileage and age. I would want to do the regular maintenance on it to give me piece of mind and look at all the weak points that have been identified from other posts. I have read conflicting things about this engine overheating lots to others that have no issues.

well don't need a pathfinder for performance and as it won't be my daily just a winter project and fun vehicle I guess I can afford to fill it with premium .... as I won't be driving it daily

yes I was shocked he was willing to come down on price.....but he needs his parking space and obviously needs it gone. hopefully this weekend it will be parked at my place. even if I do some maintenance and cleaning up and don't care for it I can still get my money back. Do you need to put in 91 octane for this engine or can you use 87? might be a cost factor since it doesn't get great fuel mileage but then again it is a truck and I have a daily driver.

what are you talking about seized???

He didn't tell me what the code was just his mechanic told him that is what it was. If I get it I will run the code myself and it does start/run/drive normal.

Yes I have googled how to change the sensor and I have pretty good mechanical abilities do most of my own work on my vehicles so this wouldn't scare me. This will be a fun project for me as I have a daily driver already so this seems to be a pretty good deal even with the high mileage but for a 2001 I guess not too bad. Looking at what a few of the users on here have done to theirs has inspired me.

Is this a good deal?

Hi all I am looking at possibly buying a 2001 Pathfinder LE. Has 260000kms, everything looks ok only thing it has is a check engine light on for camshaft position sensor. Is this a easy fix or something to be concerned about? He was originally asking for 1000.00 but I have talked him down to 600.00. He has put on new tires and new brakes.
