USED Nissan X-Trail 4x4 (01 - 07)

My car

05, 2 years and 9month old. Currently in the garage again.

I'm a electronics field engineer travelling 40K miles per year approx.

Current mileage 95,000 ish.

The story so far: 4 intercoolers. 2 turbos 1 waste gate actuator 2 boost relays 2 FUEL PUMPS (BIG BUCKS).... 1 Common rail system and pressure Sensor(BIG BUCKS)..

Thank god my car's a Lloyds TSB auto lease car.

We have three of the vehicles in the company, similar problems on all to varying degrees.

Watch your mileage, and may the force or your cheque book be with you.

Love the car - hate the engine.

I bought my T spec X - trail in October 2004 to date I have covered 50000 miles without fault other than having the brake discs skimmed due to poor dealer service. Moved to another dealer and their service is excellent. Fuel consumoption when driven at speed limits is anywhere from 41mpg to 42.5mpg. I have towed our caravan for many miles now in Southern Spain, spend a lot of the summer in caravan in Scotland on out of the way sites. No problems encountered, cannot fault the car. Now going for a change to the automatic diesel and cruise control for those long motorway journeys through France to Southern Spain next year. The one gripe I do have with it is the sat nav which requires updating via the DVD disk at a cost of somewhere in the region of 350 pounds. Compared to others this is very expensive. Now have a Tomtom but they are a very poor company to deal with and would recommend another make. The X - trail has been superb. It only does not get exlent ratings as I belive nothing can be perfect but for all the other cars I have driven it would rate as near perfect as is possible.

Our X trail 2.2dci had run well for 4 years having done only 42300 miles total. A loud whistle came from the engine. On this site I read the horror stories that the TURBO had blown. I wrote to Nissan informing them of this pandemic problem. they told me to go to the dealer. I was quoted £1700 to do the repair. Nissan must know of this design fault as so many have failed. I have paid £900 to have it repaired. Nissan have lost me as a customer forever. Think twice before buying the 2.2 diesel
