Car Trouble (24)
DrBob: Are there any Mechanics on this site or anyone that has had trouble with a Nissan X-Trail?
I seem to have had a run of trouble with mine in the last few days, engine stalling when I go to change down gears, tonight I had no power in the engine whatsoever 0 to 60 took about 15 min, full headlights are gone now as well. I dont seem to be able to get any satisfaction from any of the garages that I've taken it to they all seem to be only able to have a guess at whats wrong. No fault codes showing up of course

I'M not a mechanic but it sounds very similar to what happened my car at the start of the year it took 6 months for my mechanic to figure out it was a problem with the battery, just throwing that out there as something you could look at

as in the dizzie and the rotor maybe?
sounds like an EGR problem to me
im sure the mechanics changed the diesel filter ? check the fuses for your headlights bulbs , have you a black smoke when she is dying ?
Thanks H yeah diesel shoulda said
Will add that to the "list" along with SCV and MAF sensor
Will add that to the "list" along with SCV and MAF sensor2.2dci ya??? whats the mileage?
DrBob: Battery is ok Tusemic, thanks though
is your alarm working okis there a black smoke she is dying and knocking sound ? and is both headlights gone?are the sidelights working?

Could be just a coincedence with the lights
It's not long serviced, no black smoke, injectors seem to be ok as does heater plugsinjectors are grand ya? piston rings are gone maybe?
having thought about it all I would say ECU is bollixed...lights not working and cuttin out 
DrBob: Could be just a coincedence with the lights It's not long serviced, no black smoke, injectors seem to be ok as does heater plugs
why i asked about the black smoke as the egr acts that bollix can cause power loss and big black smoke if its bollixed , but my hunch is seen as the lights are gone it could be your ecu, try a breaker yard you could be lucky,as about the progamming it you can bypass that if you know how, there is ways around everythingDrBob: If the piston rings were gone there'd be a cloud of smoke(blue) out the exhaust constantly and would need constant top up of engine oil but it hasn't dropped on the dip at all
deffo not that then..is it showing any code faults when rigged up?

Off to MacBride in the morn so. Any way of checking ECU or will it only show up as a fault code?
if you donr know much about electrics , i would suggest you bring it to an auto electrican , not a mechanic

i think there is a light for it on the dash , it can show up on diagnostics most of the time you can check for errors on itMore Threads
