Am i unlucky in the fact my 07 v36 at only 63,000k has done a head gasket as bubbles come up and push water out of radiator.  So is this just a thing thats happened or what may cause this?  probly looking at 2500 nz  thanx ill no go and be depressed...:)

You may be unlucky as to the fact that your clock is probably wound back if the head gasket is done at "63k"

Where do you live? Should be able to fix that for less than 2.5K

Just air bubbles? Have you considered that maybe you just have air trapped in your coolant and not a blown head gasket?

Agreed. If there are no obvious signs of oil mixing in with the coolant, the coolant itself needs testing first. It'll be a lot easier than what your mechanic is proposing. He's jumping the gun a bit there.

im in napier the guy thinks upwards to 3 grand     and seems to think the engine may have to come out or drop the front away!!!

he may be reading wrong stuff..  so to do head gasket does the whole timing covers have to come off?   or can heads be done insitu....

 

thanx guys

Well, yeah, most of it - certainly at least the top part. The VQs are chain driven, yes? But pulling timing covers off is not the difference between affordable and not.

i got a bit lost on last part of your statement       ( But pulling timing covers off is not the difference between affordable and not.)

im trying to assertaian if the front has to drop away and take radiator out for acess   cheers

Do you mean remove the front of the car? Hell no. Take radiator out? Quite possibly. But that's not expensive work. Neither is removing the timing covers. That's what I meant when I said "But pulling timing covers off is not the difference between affordable and not". If it adds an hour to the job it's an extra hundred buck or so, right? Not an extra $500.

ok that sounds not too bad is the timing cover one piece or is there a top section thats not behind pumps and  things...

btw i had a search for v36 workshop manual  and g36 for 2007  cant locate any ideas

When it is all fixed I  would have the rad fan checked (I would think they are a clutch fan) blow a head gasket in our D.Max at 130K and five years old. Don,t rely on your temp guage I  ran a scanguage 11 in our Isuzus and that how I seen the temp rise, nothing showed this on the vehicles temp guage.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
