DON49 Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 My 58 plate 350Z GT recently died on me at just under 180,000 trouble free miles. Local Nissan dealer diagnoses ipdm & engine compartment wiring loom damaged/burnt out due to water ingress. I am quoted £1,700 to repair. Also, they tell me the part must be custom made in Japan, so i anticipate a long wait! Has anyone else come across this, and how reasonable is the price? Quote
R35LEE Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 The IPDM units do fail due to water ingress and I have changed out lots of them. They are sometimes misdiagnosed as the car needing an ecu. The gromit underneath the IPDM can get dislodged and let water in. I have never seen it damage a loom but if it was severe water ingress then water can damage the plugs etc. Where are you based? It may be worth you getting a second opinion here. PM sent Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk Quote

Roscoe Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 I wouldn't trust what a Nissan dealer say. Get it along to an independent specialist on here!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
