Thanks for that being a woman not up on the engine thingy

Partner will go mad when He sees this post x

We all have to start somewhere - gender isn't a basis for mechanical knowledge. There are plenty of men with zero engine knowledge and plenty of women who are mechanical engineers.

Keep your mind open, ask questions and your know how will increase.

mine is a di reg au53 zud def not a dci

Well said

Hi guys,

I'm a little confused. I recently bought a 2006 2.2 Diesel 6 gears X-Trail. The papers state an 85kw engine, but from the looks of it and the way it feels (lively, with lots of torque and power). I'd say it's a dci with 100kw. It has the big intercooler and the oil catcher.

I think the car's papers are wrong - it was mistakenly registered under di 85kw engine. I believe it to be a dci 100kw.

What do you think?

P.S. I don't have the original manufacturer documents (COC and such). I only have the national registration papers.

It's a dCi, it's even got the oil leak to confirm it!

Thanks for the fast reply. So it really is a 100kw dci :)

What's whit the oil leak? I noticed it, I tightened the collars and cleaned it to see if it still leaks. It leaks but not too much.
If I buy new original collars (as it seems there are no aftermarket substitutes) will it stop the leaking?

It's the intercooler, it leaks at the seams.

You are almost definitely likely to have the original intercooler on your Xtrail, which is manufactured with pressed seams. These have been a constant source of dCi running problems, usually ending up with turbo failure because the ECU detects a higher pressure than it should and instructs the boost control to work the turbo harder which prematurely wears the bearings in the hub.

Have a read through this: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1633

Di is plenty fast enough... loads of torque, I reckon you would be hard pushed to tell difference, from right foot!

Defo the DCI, On the picture, in right corner you can see the boost control solenoid. The DI does not have it.
