jasper65 6 Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I have been after a Navara for a good few weeks and now finally I picked one up a couple of days ago, its not perfect and has done a bit of work with the odd tiny ding but I'm made up with it, the only thing I'm not happy about os its a bit noisy starting when cold and after about a Minute it clears itself and Purrs along, any other Navara owners had this problem from cold start?.

jasper65 6 Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Hello King it'll be handy for chucking dogs/Birds or whatever in the back with the advanatge of keeping the cab clean, Plus the extra room will be handy. Ragumup. Its done near on ,000, I have been speaking to a lad tonight who told me some Navara's from 02 onwards was recalled to have the Timing chains changed, by the sounds of it its the timing chain that rattling on this on a cold engine before the oil pressure pushes up the tensioner, I'll be gutted if I have to chuck a load more cash at it after just buying it......

antg 1,765 Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 dont worry about it . mines the same and my mates is aswell. as soon as the oil gets up it goes. my mate had the one that i have now from new and it was like that then and its never changed. they are a real good motor enjoy your new truck :thumbs-up: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thurso jack 3 Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 i had one also the same problem, and i had it form new, noisy as a bloody tractor until warmed up, and as dawn says there tail likes to whip out in the wet, no probs as long as you know it will happen, but quite scary if not, i put grippier tyres on mine and this made it better.

IanB 0 Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Was tempted on a navara looked at the mitsu l200s as well, but ended up getting a toyota , there all good trucks..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jasper65 6 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 I found some Interesting Info about Navara's being Noisy at cold start, a lad reconed that if the Alternator belt is too loose then the engine will clatter at start due to crank balancers being out of sync, anyway to cut a long story short I checked my belt and it seemed pretty tight but the lad said to tweak it more, so I did and beleive it not he was right! its cured it totally , this lad aparantly is a Nissan Techy and on the boil by the sounds of it, he adviced that they do normally have limits on the tension of the belt but a quick tweak would'nt hurt. I was shitting myself as most people was telling me its timing chain and tensioners but I'll give this lad his Doo's he was bang on. Ian Whats the Toyota averageing to the gallon compared to the L200's and the Navara's? This was the Info he gave me: Posted: Thu Nov 16, 2006 11:10 am Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jasper it could be something much simpler Have a look and see if the alternator belt etc look new / correctly tensioned. The timing chain in the D22/3 is of the 'silent type' with crankshaft balancers. It's the 'belts that put the balancer out of 'sorts' which creates the noise. New belt correctly tensioned and the noise goes away...it's a 'characteristic' on the D22 design apparently Mick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
