Hey friends, I've just got my hands on my first Pathfinder, and I'm wrapped. Perfect service history, no audible timing chain noise, 145K on it and relatively stock which I love. A real gem. After lots of reading - I did however purchase the car working under the assumption that the 2.5L TD engine is able to achieve approximately 10.5L/100km day-to-day driving, and < 10 on long distances. Mine's an automatic, and is showing roughly 14.5L/100km atm day-to-day. Not towing anything, empty car. It's a Spanish made-model. Given that the turbo works fantastic, solenoid all good, vacuum hoses all good, does anybody: A - Agree that this figure is a little high? B - If so, where should I start looking? Any contributions or re-directs to older threads where this has already been covered would be much appreciated. Cheers
