hi guys i need some advice.

the primera we have just acquired keeps going into a limp mode, 90% of the time without the engine light coming on or the fault message coming up on the screen.

i have been in touch with west way nissan in coventry and they quoted 580 to supply and fit a new one. i generally only work on bikes or pre ecu cars so im not sure if this is a good or bad quote.

also the radio dosnt work i have a green screen with the word secure come up. when you press the radio button nothing happens no screen change or beeps.

any help would be greatly appreciated

ps sorry for not putting nissan primera in original post i assumed that the year,model number and engine type would suffice


chris

Sometimes it idles fine from cold, it sits around 600-700 room. Every now and again it's hunting jumping between 400-800 rpm

You need a scv.

Yes classic hunting symptom for a duff SVC, you could try this first

it has worked for some folk.

As for the green secure, it means the radio is not communicating with the IMMU security, so either someone has swapped the unit out or it is faulty

the previous owner is known to us and when he had the car it never got used. the battery was boosted a few times in his ownership and spent the majority of its time flat. the reason we got the car was the key had disappeared so we had to get a new one cut and programed. could that be the reason of the radio messing up?

thanks for the replies so far, this is why i stick to pre ecu cars

in regards to the radio, the car is acting like it does not even exist, when you press the buttons there is no change to screen or any sounds at all, after a couple of mins the screen changes to black with green box saying secure, is this normal?

Were you able to ask the owner when the radio started to display the Secure message. The AV unit does not normally lose the code when the battery is disconnected, however if as you say it has been flat for long periods of time particularly freezing temps it is just possible I suppose it has rest. In which case it will need recoding to your car just like your key. The other possibility other than lost key and broken unit is the NATS amplifier, a ring around the ignition barrel secured by a single screw (once you have the cow off) need removing carefully dusted off and put back.Thumbs Up

can you guys recommend any firm in the midlands who could try to recode the radio, west way nissan in coventry have pretty much said they wont get involved, i need to get this sorted otherwise im pretty much much living on the couch, as im being reminded daily it was my decision  to get this car

in regards to the scv i am going to order a new one, i take it i have to get both part numbers, pump and valve? where would be the best place to order one from?

For re-coding ring around a few Nissan dealers for a quote they all charge different rates.
 
SVC for a DCi ebay, the TDi have two (red and Green) so don't get confused

right then peeps have a new problem come up,

i changed scv with one bought of ebay after ringing round all the local nissan dealers who quoted £200 plus for valve.
reset the pump with the pedal routine, took it for 30 mile run whilst keeping the revs above 1000, car has run great for the last 70 miles, my partner broke down earlier today in it, she said the car keep cutting out and it wouldnt go above 20mph.

once she got it home i put my code reader on and have the following two codes come up
p1272 and p0628,

would these be caused by the new scv valve?

The short answer is yes, but not the new part, the two codes you have are counter to each other, one indicating too high a fuel pressure, the other is too low a pressure, this would indicate incorrect electrical connection to the SVC, perhaps a loose connector, it has come off or the wiring damaged during installation

is it ok for me to put the link to the scv i bought just to make sure it is the right one?

PM me the link I will have a look.

yeah that's the right one, seems cheaper than most, did you fit it of did you get the garage to do it?
 
Get the electrical connection checked, hopefully it will be a simple fix

i fitted it, easy enough to do once bottom of screen is cleared of scuttle and wiper mechanism, its tight for fitting allen key tools in. i did the peddle reset then went straight out for 30 mile run with revs kept high.
ill have another look once is stops pissing it down.

this is why i love pre ecu vehicles, no computers to have a fit and shut you down

timeshock thanks for the help,
turned out the locking nub on new scv was to big for plug to lock onto so it had come loose. car is running sweet as a nut now
