2004 Nissan X-Trail Sport review from UK and Ireland
"Seriously flawed in the turbo department"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Turbo and inter-cooler went at 12000 miles.
Turbo went again at 62000.
At 12000 miles, as I drove in for my first service,the turbo started whistling and resulted in a new turbo and inter-cooler, followed by 3 or 4 returns to change boost valves.
All was fine till 62000 miles, and yes it's the turbo again.
Nissan, as with other reports, wanted nothing more to do with it other than to empty my account at their prices.
My advice is to get on the Internet and shop around.
I had a reconditioned unit fitted for less cost than Nissan wanted for the turbo alone.
Yes they have a problem with this, it's obvious from the reviews, but once that warranty is out, make no mistake, Nissan won't want to know!
General comments?
Bought for its good reviews.
Comfy and reasonably quick.
