Hi as you can see am new to this as have never owned A nissan before (had A maverick 7 years ago but gave it back to seller when he refused to fix problems ) have now bought an 2003 xtrail 2.2dci which has come with its own bag of trouble so may be being another send back to seller though this one at least has said will look at it , any good techs known around North Wales for nissan cos local dealer has bad rep though that doesnt seem to be uncommon:

What do I start with ? After looking around for A while ( unfortunately after the snow so all prices got hiked !) I found what looked to be A good deal (ha) A 2003 dci with 85k on the clock 2 lady owners (Never known why the fact its lady owners should make such A difference ) full nsh went all the way to Blackburn to view & liked what I saw & drove (around town) so I did the deal ! Driving home serious lack of power so tuned back to garage Closed ! Has no power on hills, doesnt rev much over 3k , any answers ? still like the machine its comfy goes where I want it to (slowly) & doesnt seem bad on fuel any ideas ?

im betting its a reno 2.2dci lump from laguna,bet its something daft like air mass meter or maf as some call them nissan should just stick it on computer and it will tell them 30min job max!

Find out where the MAF is located (will be in the air inlet somewhere or an owner will come along and tell us), disconnect the wiring and if it makes no difference at all to the poor running then thats the culprit. Symptoms are typical if you have no unusual smoke etc..

Could be crappy air filter or fuel filter, or a fuel pump problem but thats descending order of likeliness

If you can get hold of previous owner from V5 its worth talking to them to find out why they got shot, just in case.

Bottom line though is dealer is liable for all faults within six months of purchase, especially if they were present or developing at time of sale.

Make him change the MAF as a starter for 10. Its a plug and play job so should take him ten minutes.

Thanks for this will be having A look at what you say , cant get it to garage till 22/02 am in dispute about (verbal)loan car agreement while xtrail is in so dont know how long its gonna be till I find out ! be back to you all as soon as

By the seaside in sunny (lol) Conwy county,hopin to keep the xtrail even with the cra*%y french engine (why couldnt they team with peugeot ? noisy but not cr*%y french engine )if the people it came from ( bein polite see !! )can sort it out cos its great for the dogs ! + it all I want

my old man had the older 2.2 in laguna esr 130mph and nearly 400k clutch went it was mot time etc so went scrap very good engine so dont panic mate!

[iain.s]

Me other half is happy for it not to go too quick cos she dont like my driving anyway & the dogs dont like the rear in the xtrail cos its hard plastic & the slide all over, I just wash it out when they come back all crappy from the beach ! Does anyone know any good nissan mechs in N/Wales coast area ?

Welcome to the club mate, I am sure someone with a XTrail will come along to help shortly, most of us seem to have Nissan Terrano's so response is normally quicker lol.

Either way I am sure it will be a cheap quick fix mate as the guys say above!!

Good luck and hope you stick with the club.

If its a YD22 engine its a Nissan unit, not Peugeot?

What makes you think its Peugeot out of interest?

no he "hoped" it was a pug unit,itll be a reno engine fetched across sein as they own nissan,doubtfull theyd let nissan engineer complete new engine when one of theres could be adapted!
