An Annoying Problem

[gerry whtie]

My nm35s pop up screen has started to turn off after a 1min or so after I put up the fuel useage function which is then followed by a black screen and some Japanese writing, has anybody got any idea whats happening and how it can be overcome.

gerry, time for the language conversion and all this will be solved because you will see the message in English.

I would guess that you have selected the display to turn off. From memory you need to select the bottom left button then scroll down to the second selection down. This should turn this feature off. (I think)

Andy one problem with the english conversion its called money and theres not alot around at the moment. Actually I,ve just gotten onto a Japanese translator locally as I have the full Japanese service history with the car and want to find out if the turbo has been changed, but thanks for your suggestion I,ll try and sort it tomorrow.

Thanks Gerry

i would doubt given the fact that the car was only in japan for a few years that they changed the turbo, unless you suspect they have fitted an upgrade/high-flow.

my turbo is heading towards 100,000km's and is still going strong for now.

Stephen I thought I read somewhere that in Japan with the m35s changing turbo,s at 100,000ks is like changing cambelts in the RS4, its done as a precaution, can anybody comment. Also who is the best person in Qld to go to if the turbo does shit itself as I live out in the sticks, again info from anyone.

My suggestion would be to organise a replacement before it fails. It can be done yourself, with the assistance of those of us that have already done it, but I would suggest a hoist, even if you have to hire a workshop for a day.

Best to do it on your terms as Murphys law states it will fail when you need the car most.

Gerry, you could be correct, most of the M35's getting around however have fairly low km's (under 60,000k's) so if you have over 100,000km's maybe it has been replaced.

If you get someone to translate your japanese log book let us know if that was the case (replacement at 100,000).

Good luck

The chances the turbo has been replaced, except maybe under warranty are pretty slim. Mechanics charge more in Japan, and remember, what is a $4k job for us, is more than the car is worth in Japan.

Still, you may get lucky. Is the turbo noisy at all?

No scott the turbo is doing everything right but as the car has done 115,000ks its always in the back of your mind, but the previous owner appears to have kept the car fully serviced so lets hope it,ll last for a good while yet, hope I haven,t jinked myself.
