Engine Weaknesses 3
The turbocharger of the V9X 3.0 V6 dCi wears at higher mileages. Typical signs from 120,000–180,000 km. Turbo repair on this V6 diesel is particularly expensive.
Symptoms: Whistling turbo noise, power loss at high load, blue smoke, oil in intercooler
The electric fuel pump of the V9X fails between 100,000 and 150,000 km. The engine fails to start or runs erratically. Risk of breakdown.
Symptoms: Engine fails to start, irregular running, sudden power loss, breakdown
The V9X DPF blocks particularly quickly under short-trip use. Problems are documented from 60,000 km. The heavy SUV (Pathfinder) is often used in urban traffic, making regeneration difficult.
