Nissan Navara Pathfinder YD25 Timing Chain Professional Check
มุมมอง 2.1K4 ปีที่แล้ว
With the right tools, we can work smarter, not harder.

    Great video. I was fully with you until you said the Pressure sensor is a sacrificial wear item……NO….. you have taken the time to prove it’s fully functional and passed with flying colours….fit a DPF and recheck the sensor. I had a situation last week when the DPF was so blocked the soot was escaping from the exhaust flange. This over pressure was noted at the pressure sensor and in turn had damaged the component. So in this case both components where replaced. Great work overall though.
