    2008 Nissan Navara smoking problem

    Nissan Nissan Advice Nissan Navara Nissan Navara Advice Nissan Navara 2008
    My 2008 Nissan Navara that has had a smoking problem practically all its life! Right from the first service I told Nissan and all they would say was they would reset the computer. At about 80,000 km and 10 months out of warranty the smoke was ridiculous, so I took it to MTQ in Dandenong who said the injectors were out of spec and needed replacing, and that it was a common problem for Navaras around that year. I put in a good will claim to Nissan, but it was rejected. Is there anything else I can do, as it will cost $3600 to fix?

    The diesel mechanics are correct, there was/are problems with the injectors in the Navara. One dealer told us to stop blaming Nissan as all brands use the same injectors and they too have the problem. But that head-in-the-sand approach doesn't help the poor customer who has shelled out to buy a car with a known problem, and it doesn't help that you now have to shell out even more money to fix it. It helps that you reported the problem when the car was still under warranty, so I would go back to Nissan and give them the full history of your car and press them for some assistance with the cost of repairs. You could also try consumer affairs.
