Anyone else having trouble with the oil seals on the garret turbo on an x-trail..... Mine had a new (well they use 'exchange' ones) one 2500miles ago but is showing all the signs of needing yet another!! - Intercooler oil saturated again....
My Landrover discovery never had any problem!
Turbo problems on the Dci engine is *VERY* well known about.
Nissan have been replacing turbo's as and when they fail, FOC, and also checking the ECU is running the latest software which runs the turbo at less than orginal boost (to make life easier for it) but which also has the effect that power and torque are reduced soemwhat.
Allowing extra cooling off time after a high boost run has apparently been helping abit, as does more frequent oil changes, however the turbo is guarenteed to fail sometime before 50k miles, if not once, but twice.
