I have read to-day,Sat,5-5-07., in your "Choose a Car" section that there have been problems with the X Trails diesel engine, as I have just bought an 06 model with 19,000 miles or so on the clock can you enlighten me as to what the problems are so the I cab be on the look out for them and perhaps try and eliminate them if that is at all possible.

Thanks.

Read Car by car breakdown on the left menu

Nissan tech bulletin dated 24th April 2006. Problem is described as hesitation on overrun between 2000 and 2400 rpm with Euro step 4 dCi engines. Most pronounced in 5th/6th gear. It is caused by an incorrect calibration of the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) - operating at the wrong frequency, and to prove that the problem is caused by this, the garage has to drive the vehicle around without the EGR connected to see if the hesitation goes away. Nissan is working on "electronic countermeasures" in the ECU to deal with the problem. Proper fix with Nissan dealers from end August 2006.
