For all the services on the video, including new spark plugs ( some were frozen in so there was extra time involved in that ) the total was around $1,500.00 dollars. We didn't do anything with the struts yet.
Yes, you can take the bolt out with a 10mm socket. Find a good muffler shop in your area and you can usually have the cracks welded instead of replacing the manifold.
oh and btw, genuine nissan power steering fluid is RED. factory fill stuff is brown on some models but the genuine nissan steering fluid we use at work for warranty repairs is red(everything else gets trans fluid cuz its cheaper and works the same)
Morning John, I have one of these and have just recently experienced braking issues including intermittent soft spongy break pedal. The brake fluid seems at the correct level but it appears off color. No obvious leaks around breaks or under master cylinder. Would you change the fluid and recheck or just replace the master cylinder?
Good morning, I would check the brake pads on all 4 wheels first. If they are worn out I would use only factory pads and shim/fit kits. Then change the brake fluid and retest.
thanks for the tips..realy was helpful. I have the same vehicle and always took it in for service but im getting a host of problems now that turns out to be very costly. one being that exhaust leak. im going to start checking my fluids myself but that transmission stick is bolted. Is that to keep me out or can I unbolt it?
John Sadler's Auto Repair Sorry for not not being more specific. My truck randomly goes out of gear while driving and then I have to let it sit and totally cool off and then it drives again temporarily for about another 30-40 miles. So as I was advised to do, I bought a new transmission speed sensor but I don’t know exactly where it goes on the transmission.
Jay Log They usually blow when some part of the circuit it's on comes in contact with a ground. Like the wire harness rubbing on a frame rail for example.What make and model is your 2005. What doesn't work when the fusible link blows?
How about my qx56 has grumbling sound at idling. I guess i can just say a rough idle. Its an 05 with 142k miles. Had a tune up but dint fix the rough grumbling..any ideas??
Tommy Stewart in my experience it will be the fuel system. the QX doesnt get along with 87 over extended periods of time. Also they have timing chain issues that I believe have been recalled in some instances.
it depends on where the oil leak is coming from, and what the cause is. You'll need to get it diagnosed by a professional, but at very least several hundred dollars.
lets try rough idling..My qx56 is a 05' with 140k miles and when I start it up iI get a mild grumbling. My last service was a CAT change and tune up. Any ideas??
sixstrangtommy Yes! Remove your air intake hose from the throttle body and look for carbon build up, if you have it there is throttle body cleaner just for that. Next, where do you buy your gas? In California, Chevron and Shell is what we use and have no fuel related issues. Arco and some other brands cause lots of concerns like your talking about. Next, go to BG Products website and buy a can of 44K and add it to a full tank of gas to clean your fuel injector spray pattern, the spark plug and the top of the piston of carbon.
A crank sensor is an electronic device used in an internal combustion engine, both petrol and diesel, to monitor the position or rotational speed of the crankshaft. This information is used by engine management systems to control the fuel injection or the ignition system timing and other engine parameters.
Philip Turner HI Philip: The A.C. and heater both functioned properly, all the windows worked good, nice interior. I repaired everything except the suspension. John
@@JohnSadlersAutoRepair No I don't charge at all. I do my own work. If you would've landed the job with the struts and all and rear air ride suspension parts and labor I'm sure would've probably been close to what I said.
Excellent presentation!!
Thanks Alfonso!!!
john, what would be a rough (ball park) number for doing all of the fluid changes on this vehicle? Also, did any work get done to the struts?

Sure is a nice driving vehicle, would buy one myself. On these higher end vehicles you must do the maintenance.

and it has 110000 miles could this bethe problem and could it afect the timing belt???
thanks
thanks for your video.How often should we have the power streering fluid changed? i have a used 2008 qx with 85,000k miles
Tony Box HI Tony: I change it every 30,000 miles.
thank you.
Where is this located I want you to do mines
I have a 2005 QX56 4x4. Can u tell me exactly where the transmission sensor is located?
Hi Cristo, do you mean the tdc sensor or a specific sensor on the transmission?

What causes a fusible link on the battery cable to blow? Can a blown fusible link drain the battery? The car is a 2005

Infinity Qx56 2005 4 wheel drive transmission fluid all over front driver side wheel any thoughts of where it’s coming from??????
Donald Johnson maybe a transmission cooler hose connection at the radiator.

hi my qx56 ismaking a weird sound when i turn it on and is usually when it cools down, some one told me it could be water pump. that is going bad///
Great video. You should always rest the car back down on the locks for safety. It only takes a fraction of a second to get crushed by a car.
Thanks Bruce !!!! I usually do lower the vehicle to rest on the locks, all it takes is one time! Thanks so much for looking out for me! John
Am stranded now my nissan of 2006 model cranks but wont start because currenr does not get to the plug
Do you have any codes?
Great job
My infiniti has an oil leak from the engine how much would it cost to fix it it a 2006
it depends on where the oil leak is coming from, and what the cause is. You'll need to get it diagnosed by a professional, but at very least several hundred dollars.
good info but i wish you would have shown the work done. not much DIY info for QX56 on you tube.
What specifically would you like to know? I will try to get you some good info on those subjects.

Donald Johnson Your welcome Donald!
How do you lock the back window on the qx56?
Shut the window with a little pressure
And turn off the car it will lock automatically took me some time to figure out 🤣
Thanks john

what is crankshaft position sensor
A crank sensor is an electronic device used in an internal combustion engine, both petrol and diesel, to monitor the position or rotational speed of the crankshaft. This information is used by engine management systems to control the fuel injection or the ignition system timing and other engine parameters.
and i bet that manifold does leak, they always do. listen very close for the tick on startup lol
How about the AC
Philip Turner HI Philip: The A.C. and heater both functioned properly, all the windows worked good, nice interior. I repaired everything except the suspension. John
Where the fuel filter
not even gonna watch the video but i bet it needs AT LEAST the power steering pressure hose. they always piss on these
This guy seems trustworthy ...🙄
Thanks!
All for a grand total of only $3,500.00 dollars! 😣
Maybe you charge that much? It was $1,529.13 dollars
