i dont disagree with you Johnny,your quite right diagnostics is the best way forward.For me though as long as its repaired thats good enough.
All transmissions have a torque limit set by the manufacturer - but it costs more to make a higher torque version so car manufacturers often the lowest torque limit they think they can get away with - it doesn't help that Nissan use Jatco for their transverse transmissions, not reknowned for long life - unlike Jatco's longitudinal transmissions found in a number of very high power/torque cars.seth1 said:It begs the question though why make high torque engines if the gearbox struggles to cope with it.
yep get where you are coming from about the advice, but the chicken feed remark ? with regards MAF?? i can only assume you have cheap Chinese rip off MAF's . they can work fine,heck they should work better than a knackered one but the proper ones are not chicken feed.I suppose the most important bit is if your happy and the car runs okish,its fine....personally i would never buy a cheap MAF have seen the difference where it counts.Gafferbill said:.........and my Nissan has now done 123000miles and has recently had the gearbox reconditioned and a new turbocharger at a cost of £1500 using DIY labour.
MAF sensors are chicken feed IMO and the replacement at 65000 miles is just fine and cost me £36.00
Johnny........I simply advised the OP it was the first check I would do on an engine that was down on power.
He was free to take that advice or not.
I have looked for the advice you gave at the time but can't find any!
That explains why I was confused, in a thread about Nissan Xtrail !!!JonnyG said:hi roger L.. i believe Seth had or has a fiat croma auto.
seth1 said:Yeah sorry for the confusion,still the 2.4 multi jet fiat.Only another 40k till it hits the 100k mark and that will be time.

yeah that's right the Chinese ones do come with all original markings and used to retail for about £75 ,where as the proper Bosch where extortionate, i believe at that time VW did an exchange service where they valued your old MAF at 60 or 70 pounds,did hear something about re-manufacturing MAF's at the time and indeed my local Fiat dealer would sell you an original or you could buy non original MAF' at a fraction of the cost..they looked identical . have to say i don't know anything about Nissan,except an original Bosch MAF for £35 even to the trade? well it amazes me..Gafferbill said:JonnyG said:..........but the chicken feed remark ? with regards MAF?? i can only assume you have cheap Chinese rip off MAF's . they can work fine,heck they should work better than a knackered one but the proper ones are not chicken feed.I suppose the most important bit is if your happy and the car runs okish,its fine....personally i would never buy a cheap MAF have seen the difference where it counts.
Just for you Johnny I have looked out the paperwork for the purchase of the MAF sensor...........
Purchased Bosch MAF from Nissan Main Dealer on 16/09/2008 for £35.57.
The part was the same as the Original Equipment and sold to me at a trade price!
