I stripped out the ESG and battery to gain access to the majority of the pipes, both looked intact but there was some oil in the pipe.
The local garage had the car today and have informed me that the Lambda sensor was covered in oil and they suspect a faulty TURBO?!
Quoting around £1000+VAT in total to fit a new one! This is not something the AA man said it would be - anyone with any advise would be much appreciated. The car has only done 72K miles and has been very well cared for and I am amazed the Turbo has gone!
Meant to say ECU and mounting bracket (not ESG).
I am afraid that it probably will be the turbo. Had same fault with my 1.5 dci Ntec.
The thing is Nissan didnt cover the turbo on their cared4 warranty.....typical.
I had to bite the bullet and pay for another turbo to be fitted. Mine had done around the mid seventies in miles when it went.
