Hi guys n girls

My girlfriend has a m35 coming up to it's 100,000 km service,

What does it consist of and also who in Adelaide would it be good to take too??

Second question is,

When putting the car in reverse the car seems to shutter , it get worse when u turn while reversing , and also happens when in drive and slow speed but will go away once on load( 50kmh +)

Feels like the shuttering comes from

The rear but not 100%

Has anyone heard of this or had it, or know what it could be?

Thanks in advance :)

100K service is nothing major on the VQ25DET motor as it has a timing chain that does not need replacing.

Depending what has been done since you owned it the things you could look at are.

Oil & Filter change

Radiator fluid

Gearbox fluid (but not essential)

Diff fluids (but not essential)

Check brake pads & fluid

Grease hinges

The shudder in reverse is common as you have to remember you have a 4WD system and they don't like being put on full lock in reverse. This can be made worse by having the "Syncro" button depressed.

Maybe the gearbox fluid change would be good to do.

Cheers

Awesome thanks guys,

Yeah there's a fwd light on the dash altho, it has never come on , but when we first looked at the car and test drive it, it was on, hmmm

What does the light mean???

If the AWD light is light on the dash it means the ATTESSA AWD system is faulty.

I get that intermittently...but I wonder if its because my ECU was falling out >_<

Will check that tomorrow and go from there , really hope there's nothing wrong with it as I know they are very costly

Not necessarily... could be anything from needing to be bled to the relay being faulty.

Why not bleed the system and go from there?

Yeah that's my plan, see if this lights on there, if not see if there's a globe and findthe last owner for a chat , then bleed it ,

Is this the correct way of bleeding it ?

More or less, the white plug that you need to unplug is located on the ODB2 cable under the drivers side dash, you should see a small hatch with the plug attached, pull the cable through and you will see a plug, just unplug it and turn the car on to reds and you will hear the pump start to turn. Make sure you open the bleed nipple on the back of the transfer case a fair bit to get the fluid moving. IT WILL MAKE A MESS so be prepared as it will go through a fair bit. Having 3 people there will help the job along, one person at the nipple, one at the rear topping up fluid and the other turning the car on and off. I use Matic D in the atessa.

Also the nipple at the motor end seems more like a drain nipple as it is gravity only and does not require the pump to operate in order for fluid to come out.

Mike.

the nipple at the transfer case is under pressure when the pump is running. even when the pump is stopped.

hydraulic systems push bubbles to the furthest point (generally), so the bleed nipple at the motor end is the one you probably need to bleed

Ok just had a little look at the car,

The 4wd / awd light does not come on when ignition is switched on, Does anyones????

I found were to fill up with fluid and it is above the Max line :)

I then checked the plug under the dash and check to see if It was connected , can hear the pump working :)

Will attempt bleeding the system on weekend and see if that makes any difference ,

Pretty sure mine lights up when the ignition is in the on position.

Ours doesn't line up when the sync switch is on snow or sync,

Are we talking about the little pic off the 4 wheels or the word "4wd"?

Yes, although I may be mistaken with what I said before. :blush:

Will test it out tonight after work.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
