Sounds very similar to a problem that I had, changed the fuel filters 3 times before I found the problem!!!! A switch on the gear linkage cost me about 300. To sort problem out

Turbo !!!!! Who need's a Turbo ,get shut and keep it simple and buy a big daft Yank tank like my Ford F350 superduty Petrol with no Turbo . People laugh at me about fuel costs but it has never been near a garage in 8 years of me owning it and 150,000 later and can fit a compact tractor on it bed .. LOL

How much does a F350 weigh? Must be much space for cargo on a standard cat B licence?

They vary massively from 2.4 t right up to 3.5 tons empty depending on year and spec ie long bed ,short bed ,king cab ,crew cab etc .

Mine is the lighter model been a Alloy petrol engine and 2wd .

Long bed are 8ft long and 5 ft wide .

Ouch

 

I doubt i'd be able to drive something 8'long and 5' wide around the roads near me. I'd get wedged between all the poor parking.

I had the exhaust gas re-circulator valve go on mine a few weeks back which killed almost all the power from the engine. Could be yours is stuck part way so it is just restricting it a bit?

According to the RAC bloke there are no sensors on the valve so no diagnostics logs which means taking it apart to see if it is gunked up or in my case finding the bits where the weld broke.

The valve is front left of the engine and a really easy to take out to check but you'll need to be sat down down when the give you the price of a new one. Most people just blank them off with a bit of stainless plate (as mine now is).

 

Might be worth a 10 minute look anyway.

Where did you put the blanking plate? Any chance of a photo? Cheers

Hi Stuart this is the EGR valve Stewart Sam you can just blank off some you have to map out on the ECU then it can be a bit of a nightmare my mate had on his Audi brother on his vwt5 they get clogged up thanks Jon

I blanked mine off and took the guts out of the DPF . Runs a lot sweeter now .

[cornish wood burner]

You don't mention that you have changed/ checked the air filter or did I miss that.

My understanding is the EGR on the Renault engine in the Nav can apparently just be blanked off without upsetting the ECU as it is a pretty basic engine.

I'm still running with the one the RAC bloke fitted but at some point I'll get a slightly thicker one from ebay for around £5. (bit better then the £700 Nissan want for a replacement valve!)

Loads of posts from people that know way more about it than me on the Navara forum and they might even have a how to guide. Like Stubby I'm pretty sure mine goes better with it blanked off.
