  1. They've just told me after two days of exploratory work, they don't know what's wrong. They want to take the engine out to explore further. They tell me they think it's oil pump, or oil cooler in nature. But to fix the pump, they have to remove the engine apparently. I'm not so sure about that - anyone know?

  3. Hi Guys and Girls,

     

    I'm hoping you'll be able to help me here. I see another post about this a little further down, but it seems to have become off topic and heated, so I thought I best start afresh.

     

    My Zed, 61k on the clock, HR Engine, when warm and idling, is putting out 7psi of pressure according to the oil gauge in my cluster. When I'm doing normal speeds down the motorway, and when starting from cold it'll sit bang on 60psi, rarely going the slightest bit over.

     

    I've recently had a "Winter Check" from Nissan, where they mentioned it so I have given it to them to check. It's been with them all of today and they've not yet found the problem. They have said that coolant came out when they removed the oil pressure sensor to do a manual check. I imagine that's not a particularly good sign. Neither is the fact that the oil pressure is low even when the motor is revving below 3,000rpm..?

    I was thinking it might be a cooler problem or it might be a problem with the oil pump. They're talking to Nissan HQ tomorrow about it.. But the mechanic says (maybe to scare me) the last Z they had in with this they had to take the engine out to investigate. I'm getting worries about the dollar at the best of times.. I start thinking about doomsday scenarios and that I might wind up having to trade it against a Note or Pixo!

     

    Any words of advice, comfort or expertise?

     

    Greatly appreciated,

     

    Scott.

  4. Makes you wonder what really goes on a Stealerships. I've dropped mine off today at Cambridge Nissan. They keep trying to update my software and I keep telling them not to. I like what the RS Tuning laptop did, and I'll thank you to keep it that way.

    I'd be peeved if I found my car was being ragged around.
