Just a little knowledge I had on my pathfinder cruise control. I had issues engaging the cruise control. The prob was a neutral position sensor. The easy check for this was use the idle up switch left lower of the steering wheel on the right hand drive. With the switch on and in neutral the rpm’s are higher.. press the clutch and put into any gear with the clutch still engaged if the rpms lower the nps is good if the rpms remain higher. Check your neutral position sensor... this was my issue are higher
Great video Alex, i had an STX 550 with the 3.0lt V6 loved it to bits. Only issues i had with it was a EGR valve failure and a strange bottoming out on the left hand rear when loaded, even with 300kg constant rated springs. I loved that engine so much that i have tracked one down with only 80,000KM on it. just cant beat 170kw and 550nm. So back to D40 life for me.
I have driven the STX 550, loads of power and enough torque to pull a train. Brilliant engine! EGR & DPF systems are common to have issues on any modern diesel vehicle, some worse than others. Was your suspension factory or aftermarket. ?
@@alexeyersautomotive9440 suspension was originally factory, even when changed to after market, the strange bottoming out remained. The new beast (stx550) is completely stock and I have no bottoming out issue so i'm at a bit of a loss this the old cars issue.
My issues so far for a 2006 spain built D40 owend for 15 years. 350,000 kms cracked fire wall clutch and , pedal box welded up.

Good video, My 2011 Spain M D40 my head unit failed the screen pretty melted at 80,000ks Cruise control stopped working at 70,000 it turns on but doesn't engage. Other than that no other issues yet now 120000 on it
A quick question....... Which year was the timing chain issue addressed on YD25 D40? Reason why I am asking is, I wish to buy a used Navara D40 but am not sure how to check if the car has a double timing chain without opening the engine.
2010 Spanish stx d40 150 000km lost oil pressure, after inspection, replaced timing set, oil pump, harmonic balancer, clutch pressure plate to oem. Still under powered and smoky on take off, turbo wet but not leaking, looking to put catch can!? .DONE 22000 km in three yrs since rebuild. Cruse control failed , air con just failed, central window control failed, paint failing , white. Now putting it up on hoist tomorrow as clunk front right when going over speed bump or out of drive way. Ordered a new car but this has to last the 12mth wait. Regards Rob
I worked on a UK spec 2008 last week ... had the flashing airbag light.. replaced the clock spring .worked flawlessly for 5 days ... new aftermarket clock spring has failed. 4x4 light on solid as well . Front shaft crosses were bad . Heavy black smoke when driving with a code for the turbo . Loss of throttle as well 😢 ... suction control valve failed.
Love this video thank you for the info! I just bought a 2014 Navara (Spanish) and am now concerned, with all the problems you have listed. Is it normal for a 4WD to have so many issues? Are Navaras worse than all the others in their class? Thanks again. A great resource
have to say mines great for the price and any car I've owned I've moded to suit me the factory suspension control system sucks with the rear drum breaks locking up at the wrong time eton lsd is a god send for on road,
Hi Alex i have a d40 2009 and I'm having a problem with power loss especially up to hill and full tank making 290 miles 😢 this is no pdf no egr what's going on this car ? 😢😢
mate I love your work, I've been reading up on these issues but its so much easier to understand when you explain them would it be worth getting one second hand or do you reckon they are just straight lemons?
Hey mate, I own a D40 navara that has fairly high kms but was always looked after and regularly serviced and its been perfect. They are good vehicles provided you look after them & ensure you keep up with regular maintenance requirements.
Most tailgates have rubber rests/stoppers to stop them from rattling, I'd be checking to see if they are in good condition and adjusted properly first.
I have a few issues overheating on highway and up hills rough clunky ticking on start up cold.rough idle but smooth as butter with revs,noises for days behind the dash if I play with the ac controls it quite simply for abit.hub bearings gone stereo surrounds cracked ac controls gone hazard light gone it drives ok round the city but that's about it.bout to burn it
I've got a 2010 140kw 5sp auto, done a clock spring, front uni joint (mine was really squeaky when idling/coasting in gear, went away under load), drive belt tensioner and replaced instrument cluster to fix the manual mode in the auto. Another common issue is the front speakers randomly cutting in and out, it's not a wiring issue it's the speakers themselves so I just replaced them with some decent aftermarket ones. Also I've noticed a lot of people in the facebook groups seem to be recommending the revised single row timing chain kit over the double row now.
My air con seems to be stuck on defog. Air only comes out of the windscreen vents and a small vent on the door frame adjacent to the windscreen. Has a switch failed or some linkage become detached?
Good morning dear, good video, the Nissan Navara engine YD25 diesel 2010 warmed up recently, I would like to know what number of radiator cap and reserve tank cap that Navara that you have on video has.
Hi Alex,very interesting. I reside in Trinidad and Tobago and I have the 2.5 turbo navara which is always factory serviced. In this island parts have become tremendously exspensive and I am thinking of importing certain parts that needs replacing around 100k, could you point me I the correct direction and give me a list of these sensors that I could use to order and have it at home Waiting to replace.....?
Hi Alex, thanks a lot for the video, very helpful as I'm looking to buy a D40. The recall links are ending up at page not found for me. Have those pages moved?
Great video !!! I have a 2014 Spanish d40 , I have a very hard to identify noise , not belts or pulleys as all been replaced ! Noise can only be heard from inside car when engine is running and it speeds up with engine revs , I have a video for reference on you tube ! Also noise is there even with belts removed ! Any ideas please !?
My why my D40 sometimes goes into a sluggish mood and when I completely release the accelerator pedal and accelerate again it goes back to normal normal . 280000 km replaced one timing chain 4 new injectors . Other ways no problem whatsoever .
Thanks for the info. I have a 2012 D40 STX550 V9X and have issues with the 7 speed auto. When I push it into manual shift mode, nothing happens? Could you shed some light as to what the problem may be. Cheers
Hi Rod, I can't say I have heard of this problem before. Could be something as simple as a faulty switch in the selector making the car think it is still in standard drive mode. Does the gear indicator light change in the instrument cluster when you put it into manual mode?
If the switch in the selector is fine I would be looking at the instrument cluster. Mine didn't work and had no gear indicator light on the dash either, got another cluster from the wreckers and it worked as soon as I put it in. Make sure you get a matching one though the first one I got was out of a 2wd so my 4wd selector didn't work!
Hey my d40 navara 4x4 manual gears 1 and 2 keeps sticking, i have change the master cylinder and the slave cylinder and still having the same problem. Do have any solutions
Thanks for the vid, Two questions for you... Firstly how can you identify a Spanish built to others ? Secondly how can you identify a single row chain timing belt from a double row chain, pls advise.
Great Questions! The VIN # is the fastest way of determining whether its a Spanish built of Thai built car. Spanish models the VIN # starts with VSK and Thai models start with MNT. It can be hard to determine whether your vehicle has a single row or double row timing chain, easiest way to confirm it would be to call you local Nissan parts dealer, give them the VIN # and ask which type of chain it uses. Hope this helps!
My dear good afternoon, good video. A query, I have a Nissan Navara diesel engine YD25 year 2010, the radiator is no longer original, it is an alternative, I have been told that the radiator cap is without a pressure valve, it is a blind cover; the cap with pressure valve goes in the radiator reserve tank, because the engine has already heated up and affected the cylinder head. I could confirm the Navara that is in the video, the radiator cap is with valve pressure or it is a blind cap.
Hi mate. Great comprehensive video. Can I please get your advice. Looking at buying a 2007 Nissan Navara stx diesel with 235,000km automatic. In Australia. Any major issues or has this video pretty much covered it. Thank you
if you are getting a spanish built I havethe same year and model you will want to look out for the SCV they get funky after lots of K's that and teh fuel filter, whoever had mine didnt look after it very well the correct coolant to use is blue they say green is ok but Blue is what the block is rated for. I would also change the cabin filter and do and oil flush with a fresh filter.
What’s your economy just general driving How’s the cab space? I test drove one before and didn’t think it would be a factor but I had what felt like 1cm headroom
Good day Alex. Looking at a navara which would be the first 4x4 I've ever owned. I've heard them be called belly scrapers. How bad is their ground clearance actually? And are lift kits a viable option. I heard lifting the vehicle can cause it's own issues with the CV joints etc. Your input would be appreciated
Hey James, The ground clearance on the D40s from factory isn't terrible for standard use but if you intend to use them for proper 4wding then I would highly recommend lifting them. My D40 runs a 2" old man emu lift kit and 33s which doesn't require anything else to be modified and provides excellent ground clearance. If you go over a 2" lift then you will have to start carrying out extra mods for example diff droppers etc. Any other questions let me know!
Mine has a weird thing of after selecting 4wd and if the car stalls it won’t start again or when it starts it will stall again within seconds with very poor throttle response 🤷🏼♂️
Hi David, The navaras are known for this issue, it has to do with the gearing and the time it takes for the throttle plate in the intake to open. Navaras are very tall geared in first gear making them easier to stall than other 4wds. The operation of the throttle body is quite slow in the navaras as well. Lots of people fit iDrive throttle controllers to eliminate this issue.
I have a navara d40, what I noticed when driving the van are. 1. heavy black smoke when accelerating 2. fuel consumption is high 3. crickling sound from the engine when I accelerate the engine, the noise increases with higher acceleration. the sound is like a nocking sound. kindly assist on what to do to correct these problems.
G,day you're getting a knocking sound, if it's still the original single row timing chain, it's stretching,, if it snaps engine rebuild or change over.
there is a shop in brisbane hooks an oscilloscope up to the cam angle sensor and crank angle sensor, then calculates the timing chain stretch if out of limits. catch your worn timing chain before it fails and destroys the motor.
Great video, im looking to buy a d40 and this is very informative, thanks. How much approximately would you expect to pay a mechanic for the double row chain upgrade ? Would you own a Thai built d40?
Hi, It all depends on which mechanic you go to but generally the cost of the upgrade is between $1,500-$2,000AUD, this does not include any other repairs needed when replacing the chain.
@@kaigannon6495 if it's got the YD25 engine built to be lemons,,, change my engine, cost me extra, to upgrade as much of the cheap part's Nissan used in the engine build,,,,if it fails again 🤔 I'll look at a Cummins or Duramax engine implant if possible.
Maybe not be a problem where you are but here in Europe the chassis snaps in half between the cab and tub (corrosion). The big end shells spin in the crank, the conrod bolts failure ,engine overheating issues, heads crack. all causing major engine failure., The big mistake was letting Renault step in and putting their shit in .sadly Renault own Nissan😢 .
Jesus...was considering buying a D40 in recent weeks, with this long list of potential problems I don't think it would be worth it at any cost. Dodged a bullet.
The d40 has a weaker frame than d22, but a way better engine. Soon as the frame get rusty it gets weaker and may snap, so buy a d40 with no rust and enforce it, then youre good to go
You would have to be pretty sympathetic to Nissan or stupid to bother owning one of these junkers. At work we had trouble with chassis and exhaust intrusion into the cabin, we also had exhaust intrusion into the D21 Terrano as well. l will never own another Nissan as long as l live after my Nissan experiences. Just spend the real money and get something else worthwhile. Why would anyone dislike this good honest video, the truth must hurt them?
factory head unit fail. crappy rear suspension and handling. open centre rear diff not limited. cracked front discs. oil fliter needs replacing at oil change other wise can fail. have sld diff now 350kg rear spring upgrade and better rear shocks and air bags. touch screen head unit with gps etc better speakers and more usb power points . red ark power brakes.

3. crickling sound from the engine when I accelerate the engine, the noise increases with higher acceleration. the sound is like a nocking sound.
kindly assist on what to do to correct these problems.
G,day you're getting a knocking sound, if it's still the original single row timing chain, it's stretching,, if it snaps engine rebuild or change over.
there is a shop in brisbane hooks an oscilloscope up to the cam angle sensor and crank angle sensor, then calculates the timing chain stretch if out of limits. catch your worn timing chain before it fails and destroys the motor.
My 2012 D40 (MT) seems to lack power at low RPM. If I stop on a hill it is very difficult to get her moving again. Anyone ever had this problem?
Block EGR valve and upgrade intercooler pipes.
Great video, im looking to buy a d40 and this is very informative, thanks.
How much approximately would you expect to pay a mechanic for the double row chain upgrade ?
Would you own a Thai built d40?
Hi,
It all depends on which mechanic you go to but generally the cost of the upgrade is between $1,500-$2,000AUD, this does not include any other repairs needed when replacing the chain.
I own a Spanish Built Navara, but a used car salesman told me to steer clear of the Thai model
Bit late, but stear clear of the Thai models, only buy the spanish ones
@@kaigannon6495 if it's got the YD25 engine built to be lemons,,, change my engine, cost me extra, to upgrade as much of the cheap part's Nissan used in the engine build,,,,if it fails again 🤔 I'll look at a Cummins or Duramax engine implant if possible.
howz navara 2009?? need genuine advice amigos ..plzzz
Maybe not be a problem where you are but here in Europe the chassis snaps in half between the cab and tub (corrosion).
The big end shells spin in the crank, the conrod bolts failure ,engine overheating issues, heads crack. all causing major engine failure., The big mistake was letting Renault step in and putting their shit in .sadly Renault own Nissan😢 .
These problems are for the 190hp facelift models or the earlier 175hp ones?
My navara smokes diesel when it goes over 2500 rpms idk
2017 navara 2.3 cc diesel drive and shutoff and will not start.
Someone recommend me a ute to buy 120,000kms or less and 20K or under, cheers. Also what’s the best
Jesus...was considering buying a D40 in recent weeks, with this long list of potential problems I don't think it would be worth it at any cost. Dodged a bullet.
My neighbour had a cracked fire wall, nobody wanted to repair it due to difficulty and prohibitive cost, he had to scrap the car....😮
my R51 spanish build is stuck in 4wd any idea's?
put in reverse slowly and drive a few times should come out
@@ebzery Its a manual mate
@@nathanbolton3192 mine is to you need to go back a few m ang forward may 3 times to unlock it
Hey Nathan,
Did you get to the bottom of this issue.?
Thanks
My 4x4wont work it flashes on the dash
Abs wire
Howdy, Im looking at buying a Navara, but i hear so much about the chassis breaking and folding the car in half. How common is this?
The d40 has a weaker frame than d22, but a way better engine. Soon as the frame get rusty it gets weaker and may snap, so buy a d40 with no rust and enforce it, then youre good to go
Damn half the comments are from owners wanting help diagnosing issues...
Well it's a video about Navaras common issues so that's normal,
I was going to buy one of these watching your video I don't think I'll bother I think I will buy a Toyota
Gosh, what a problematic vehicle. Might have to pass on the used one I was considering.
I thought land rovers where bad think I stick with my zafira
If ild buy one it would be the VQ 40
You would have to be pretty sympathetic to Nissan or stupid to bother owning one of these junkers. At work we had trouble with chassis and exhaust intrusion into the cabin, we also had exhaust intrusion into the D21 Terrano as well. l will never own another Nissan as long as l live after my Nissan experiences. Just spend the real money and get something else worthwhile. Why would anyone dislike this good honest video, the truth must hurt them?
love mine great on fuel towing 9 l around town i dri9ve it instead of my xr8 au falcon which i love .
Had one, Its good looks mask a multitude of problems.. Definitely avoid 👍
F sake. This is a nightmare. Nearly 30 mins of issues...i was considering this vehicle but now i just dont know
Wow, timing chain every 80,000kms? Thats a $3k spend each time - Geezuz Khryst!
My car had 245000 before I changed my single row and it was only slightly stretched
I was just going buy one .I will buy hilux.
factory head unit fail. crappy rear suspension and handling.
open centre rear diff not limited. cracked front discs. oil fliter needs replacing at oil change other wise can fail.
have sld diff now 350kg rear spring upgrade and better rear shocks and air bags. touch screen head unit with gps etc better speakers and more usb power points . red ark power brakes.
Nissan navara d40 2014 weird noises
A 26 minute video on the shortcomings of the navara, 🤨 you still think they’re worth owning?
I own one 🤦♂️
All vehicles have their faults, this is just a video explaining some of the more common ones with these particular vehicles.
Seems like the Nissan D40's were made out of cheap thin metal, and cheap poor quality parts, just from heard many of these issues..
they are a good looking car but sound like lemons
All 4x4's have weak points. Google Triton, they are a nightmare.
Bloody hell sounds like this car is a nightmare to avoid maybe get a Toyota
Hmmmm, might just safer to spend the extra cash on a used Hilux.
What to look for when buying a d40 navara.....don't buy one
