  1. Nissan has announced a warranty extension on the 2005-2010 trucks with radiator problems:

     

    This announcement is to inform you that Nissan has decided, for customer satisfaction purposes, to extend the warranty for the Radiator Assembly on all 2005-10 Frontier, Pathfinder and Xterra vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions.

    The New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage on applied vehicles for the Radiator Assembly will be extended from its original duration of 3 years/60,000 kilometres to 8 years/130,000 kilometres (whichever occurs first). This warranty extension applies only to the Radiator Assembly (and its component parts), including damage, repairs, replacement, and related towing resulting from this issue. Customers who may have previously paid for a repair that would have been covered by this extended warranty will be eligible for reimbursement. Coverage of other vehicle components will remain unchanged, and all other terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions of Nissan’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty continue to apply.

    Additional details regarding this warranty extension and reimbursement eligibility and procedures will be provided to you no later than October 29, 2010.

  2. It stands for "CD Error F!^k O!f"

     

    lol.

     

    probably somethings gone wrong with the loading mechanisim.

     

    If you feel brave enough, take it out, take the screws out and split it open. See if somethings come out of place and put it back.

  3. I changed my O2 sensor last winter on my Pathfinder 94.

    Now I have the check engine code for the EGT sensor (code 35)

     

    What's the difference between these two sensors? Are they related?

    How much can cost to change the EST sensor?

     

    Thanks a lot for your help :rolleyes:

     

    EGT - Exhaust gas temperature

    O2 - Oxygen sensor

     

    1 tells the ecm how much oxygen left in the exhaust, the other tells it the temperature of the exhaust.

  4. i planned on putting a brush bar on to. was the height in the front pretty noticeable? or no?

     

    It was over an inch higher in the front, now that was before I installed my KMA bumper and winch, so I'm sure it settled, just never went back and re-measured, or re-installed the spacers. Now that the pathy's up for sale, I may never re-install them.

  5. When I installed 1" strut spacers with the AC lift coils, the front end actually sat higher than the rear. The AC lift takes some time to settle, but I took my spacers right back out after installing them, and never got around to putting them back in.

  6. The switch is part of the latch/lock assembly.

     

    Were you driving when the door opened? There's safety's built in so you can't open any of the automatic doors when the vehicle is in motion.. Strange yours would at all.

     

    I've seen quest sliding doors, and front automatic windows go hay-wire by themselfes when a remote f-'s up internally, sending out a signal even with no button pushed, but the rear door opening while moving is a new one for me....

  7. Heres a pic of some Armada lines we replaced, they are similar

    It's a catch 22 if you should remove the brackets or not. The best way is to take the clamp apart, make sure all the dirt and grit that might "sandpaper" through the lines is cleaned out, and use some new foam, then seal it up with something.

  8. Well nissan has lost at least 15 customers , no one in my family will go near one .All my fords never had a problem like this , and if they did it was fixed under warranty , NO QUESTIONS ASKED . Nissan is playing a stupid game , this and the rad/transmission problem will bite them in the a$$ .Own up to your defects .

     

    They're not my defects, I didn't build the car!

     

    Sounds to me you should sell your's quick and buy a jeep. lol!

  9. The metal is fine, it's aluminum. The problem is the foam they use at certain places to prevent vibration. The foam holds moisture, and water and corrodes the aluminum till a leak occours.

     

    There is 2 ways to fix it.

     

    Take the body off the truck and replace the entire line

     

    Use a hose repair kit to cut out the affected line piece and splice in a repair piece.

     

    The coolant lines also corrode through, but that is less common, and is easily repaired with some rubber line and hose clamps.

     

    Anyone with an 05+ with rear air should climb under their truck, find the lines (they run along the passenger frame rail), remove all the foam that they can find, and then use a good quality undercoating or rocker guard to spray the entire line to prevent future corrosion.

     

    Unfortunatly, nissan is only covering this line for 3yr/60,000km even if you have an extended warranty, as the extended warranty doesn't cover "corrosion".

     

    Personally, I think it sucks, and it's a kick in the balls on nissan's part, but sometimes there's just certain things the dealer's hands are tied on....

  10. check www.car-part.com for a used one in your area.

     

    The cans are only good to "top up" your system, not fill it. many of them only contain a fraction of a pound of freon. The system from empty takes 1.5 lbs. do the math. Better to spend a few bucks and get someone with the proper equipment to fill it after.

  11. I order from the US often for work, and UPS calls me every time to verify if I want them to broker the item across the border or not.

     

    you will ALWAYS get screwed on brokerage fees when you pay someone else to bring things across the border for you. The taxes are unavoidable, that is what it is. You should not be paying any taxes at the originating shipping point because they are shipping out of state, so you really didn't get screwed on those.

     

    I haven't looked into it yet, but I assume that there are probably brokerage people out there that don't charge as much as UPS do in fees, so when they make that phonecall, I can tell them no, I don't want them too. I haven't been too concerned yet, as it's not my money, so I'm not so worried. One day I might...

  12. Really? I actually didn't do that this time. Maybe that is what the problem was. This was my first time doing my brakes without someone watching me, but I honestly don't ever remember doing that before.

     

    You live and learn I suppose.

    Not opening the bleeder won't do anything other than what grimgreg said. It's not the cause of the leak, more likely a score int the piston, or just some fluid getting past the seal.

     

    It's better to open the bleeder so the dirt/overheated fluid doesn't go back into the brake system.

  13. if you build up pressure by pumping the pedal seveal times, and then stomp on it and hold the pedal very hard, like a panic stop, it will push your entire brake system to the maximum pressure it will ever sustain. If it doesn't leak, you should be good.

     

    Sometimes the fluid will push past the seals when pushing the piston back if you push it too quickly. The fluid has to go somewhere.

     

    however, for $35 bucks for a caliper, you can't really go wrong...

     

    I wish mine had been that cheap when I needed to replace them.

  14. I don't have the info infront of me, but there is a test using an infared thermometer to read the temperature at the front of the cat, and at the rear of the cat. There should be a noticible difference, I believe hotter in the back of the cat.

     

    If the temperature is the same both ends, then it isn't working properly.

     

    Someone can chime in if they know the specs on what temp and temp difference there should be.
