sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know a way to get back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
mixing coolant liquid with transmission liquid also happened on pathfinder as well but not for newer year models i think starting from 2009 or so they have changed system and this issue was resolved on pathfinder. how about xterra ?? was xterra was changed as well?? does anyone know??

I've owned two 2nd gen 4x4 Xterras. The only issue I've had was a bad front wheel bearing, which was a $50 part and easy to fix. They're very reliable trucks. I've taken mine offroad weekly.
I got a bad wheel bearing. Where did you find one for $50? I only see them for 200+
Pretty much all the problems I found in researching the X in a nutshell.
I own a 2000 XE & a 2015 Pro 4-X. So far, regular maintenance. I love them.
which would you say is more reliable
@@xxspinzzxx The second gen is a vastly better vehicle.
@@povertyspec9651 it is?
Same here, I've got a 2001 with 280000 miles with regular maintenance and no mager problems. Just got a 2012 pro 4x and it's been awesome so far.
@@toothless01 has the timing belt done on it before?? I'm reconsidering my 1450 winning bid on 1
Park on a driveway that’s has an incline. When the radiator is cool take off the radiator cap. Start the car let it heat up with radiator cap off. You should see air bubbles. When they stop put cap back on.
You, sir, are a legend. I wish you a million upvotes.
Proper way to burp a coolant system. Dying arts, and forgotten keys.
Nowadays, they have bungs on funnes and overfill the funnels and run it for a while.
Back in the good days, we just kept some open jugs of premixed, or even just tap water on standby, chalked it on a hill pointing uphill and ran it, and kept adding water until it was hot and didnt need it.
Uphill is the key though, guranteed to force all the air out of your heater core and every channel through your block, because air always goes up.
The radiator (auto trans only) and timing chain (all pre '10 vq40) issues were fixed in the 2010 model year, so if you get a 2010-2015 you should be good to go! It'll run forever. The Xterra and Frontier both come with an external transmission cooler on the automatic.
I haven't heard about the intake coolant leak, but I have had to replace both of the lines that connect to the heater core. Both are dealer parts too!
The air pocket issue in the cooling system is common and there is a special long neck funnel that attaches tightly to the radiator to help bleed the system. Easy fix.
+Mike Thanks for the feedback!
Does the Pathfinder for that era(2005-2012) have similar issues with the trans issues? Looking to buy a used one since they are cheaper than similar 4Runners
@@tonyyayo2115 yes any pre 2010 VQ40DE vehicles
I was looking at a 2006 Nissan Xterra · S Sport Utility 4D…. but this video made me think twice about that 😮
As the owner of a 2015 Xterra Pro 4x for the past two years, I have to say that I have never had a single problem with mine. It's currently sitting at just under 95k miles and I religiously change the oil every 3000 miles and only buy premium gas. It runs like a dream. I just shelled out $1000 to put all brand new Goodyear Wrangler Trail Runner tires on it and it has never driven better! Best SUV I've ever owned, and I've had quite a few.
Premium gas makes a big difference . I run it in mine too . I have a ‘14 pro4 with a manual. I’ll own it forever . So much better than my wrangler .
You,guys,are something.
The compression ratio on VQ40DE is 9.7:1. It’s designed to work on regular gasoline.With highier octane gas the most you do is trowing your money away. High octane burns slower then regular,for more controlled combustion in high performance engines,turbocharged engines,or engines with compression ratio highier then 10.7:1 to prevent predetonation.
Thanks for tip number 5! My vehicle is experiencing those same symtoms as you describe in regards to heating issues in the cabin. Blows cold air at idle. Blows hot air while driving then blows cold air at idle again...
Great video. Wish I had seen it before I had to replace the transmission and radiator in my 2007 SE at 138,000 miles because of problem #2. Nissan admitted to a known design flaw specific to the 2nd Generation 2007 model but said it was not widespread enough for a recall and would not cover any cost based on the mileage. I bought it off the showroom floor and still have it. Now at 204,000 miles. I had problem #1 and replaced the sensor unit in the gas tank. Now I have problem #5. At least that one is easy enough to fix myself. Even with these problems, I do love the vehicle. It honestly runs great and the repairs were still cheaper than a new car. The motor is solid and gas mileage is still 17-19 mpg city and 23-25 highway. I plan to hit 300,000 miles with it.
i just bought a 2007 X Terra the other day, its in great condition, but it has almost 220K miles on it…theres no telling whats about to go “POP” if you know what i mean. maintenance records seem good but its missing O2 sensors
Check to make sure your 2nd generation xterra doesn't already have a secondary transmission cooler. Most 2nd gen automatics have 2 coolers for the transmission. Factory coolerl is located front of the condenser, radiator on the passenger side. Simply do a bypass of the radiator cooler
From what I have read on Xterra forums, Nissan has fixed all these problems since the 2010-2012 models
I have a 2007 Xterra with 4 out of 5 of those problems (all except the strawberry milkshake of death...knock on wood). I couldn't believe you just rattled off of the issues I have with it without even seeing it...lol.
Just put your engine oil near the highest mark sometimes it will fix the rattling noise.
awesome video. my xterra had pretty much all of these ailments.... some are resolved, some we're still working on. even with all the issues and 180K I wouldn't want any other SUV.
This helped a lot. I really am looking forward to buying a first suv/truck and this specific one catches my eye and it makes me feel a whole lot better knowing i can fix these issues if it currently has any before it could get worse.
Great video! Please do one of these on the First generation Xterra/Frontier. Thanks
I have had several minor patchable issues with my 2012 Pro 4-X. Timely maintenance is key, love my truck.
2011 to 2015 Xterra does not have what were mentioned as top 5 problems.
My 05 has been a workhorse. I've put over 53k miles on it in the last 20 months. Had the common issue with primary chain tensioner guide, causing slack in chain which made the chain to make a lot of noise(rattling). Drive it that way for quite awhile and finally I decided to repair it, while I had a chance to do it myself. It's been a very good vehicle and very versatile.
How much did parts run you?
you dont have to go into the motor for it yeah? i would assume thay tensioner would be somewhere like the front end of the block up top idk
God bless, sir. Helped me a lot while selecting a offroad project car.
ive long known about the issue with the coolant getting into the transmission and ruining them. that single design flaw is what always kept me from getting one of these trucks. shame because I think they look cool as hell.
I got an 05 4x4 w/ the hard to find 6spd manual so I never had the coolant & Trans fluid mixing problem but man did the timing chain issue happen 3 times. After the third time, I pulled a low mileage engine out of an 08 Frontier and dropped it in. I’ve been about 40k miles on the new engine with no major problems. The alternator and AC compressor went around the same time but I just pulled the ones off my old engine. I did have to buy a 4x4 actuator and my fuel hand just recently quit working.
Cost of timing chain repair?
I love my 2011 x, 175k and currently replacing UCA,LCA, in/out tie rods, new sway/end links, new front suspension, new front drilled rotors, and rear add a leaf. I love this car, it’s built solid, hasn’t ever let me down and I will drive it till she dies. The transmission cooler issue is the 05-07 years I believe.. years before and after 05-07 issues weren’t very common. I might be off which years but I know mine on don’t really have that issue due to a different design. Xterras are great trucks, they will last Forever If you take care of it..
+311mdub Thanks for checking us out and for the feedback! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
05-09. 10+ are good and come with external cooler from factory.
I would add one more issues most people don't talk about. This really affects higher mileage or older Nissans with the VQ40. The oil gallery seal gets brittle with age and heat cycle. The seal crack and even in some case small pieces break away. This will cause your oil pressure to drop. Most noticeably at idle. I seen plenty of these engine get ruined by this. Not 100% sure if Nissan up graded the material in the later models or not. If you do the timing chain upgrade go head and replace the oil gallery seals while your in there. Good metal upgrade kit is like $45. Cheap insurance.
As a 2nd gen Nissan Xterra owner, I do have to mention the issue mentioned in #2 is called SMOD aka Strawberry Milkshake of Death. This problem does not occur in models starting at 2011. SMOD is most susceptible in the years ‘05-‘10. If you want to avoid this issue, just buy an ‘11-‘15 or immediately replace radiator on the purchase of your ‘05-‘10. SMOD can quite literally annihilate your trucks entire functionality so this issue should be a priority check. My 2011 is sitting on 214,000 miles and still going strong and looking to v8 swap it soon.
+I’m Crux Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Should I do the bypass method even if I got a new radiator and transmission?
also manual transmissions are not affected
@@elonsus9747 not needed to do the bypass
Any good links to the V8 swap process?
I was going to get a 2006 xterra when I got my drivers license. My older sister ended up getting it from my parents and I went and bought a crown victoria lx. I drive the xterra occasionally and its a really good vehicle. It has over 300000 kms and still running good. It wasn't maintained all that well and it has some minor rust, a small leak on the transmission, and now when turning while the vehicle is in 4x4, it seems like a wheel is locking up and jumping instead of rolling which could be a differential issue.
Well done… never had SMOD explained and demonstrated clearly… cheers!
Great stuff, thanks for the video
+Nathan Bell Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
The u joints on the drive shaft is another issue as well.
Thanks for the information 👍
Outstanding information! Thanks!
Nissan had a major recall on that transmission issue. Cost me around $3,000 to repair. Plus i also had the fuel sensor go as well. That was hundreds of dollars to fix as well,.
I bought my 2009 Xterra SE new and I have never had any type of problem beside replacing my battery. Very reliable.
+Dwayne Hubbert Thanks for the feedback!
Same here, only mine is a 2015 Pro 4x (the last year Nissan made the Xterra). I have owned it for exactly two years now, never miss an oil change, buy premium gas and have never had a single problem with mine! It's a workhorse and it runs like an absolute dream at just under 95k miles.
as always great yet fast review of a 2007 X
I love mine. 2008 Off-Road. Never had problems, but might get the transmission cooler mod
if it hasn't already been done I highly recommend it
I have a 2015 Pro 4x that I bought a couple of years ago and have never had a single problem with it!
@@jrwheeler81 wait for the coolant mix up
@@rizchellsuniga4402 it’s 5/6 years past the effected years. Duh......not a problem.
Air bag crash sensors, EVAP issues, they rust like it's going out of style, water in the tailgate...a few i've encountered.
Great vid , thats why I got the manual trans 💪.
Thanks, that was very helpful!
I just had the coolant leak into the transmission fluid problem. Fixed it. 2 days later we find out we need a whole new transmission. 220,000km on it. Never had a problem. Now a death blow.
First thing Mentioned is one of
My issues. The gas gauge. I reset the trip odometer every time I fill up so I know how
Many Miles I can get Out of a tank of gas.
The radiator and coolant issue- their was a class action lawsuit that Nissan lost. Was reimbursed for my radiator
Wish I saw a video like this in 2010. My 2008 Xterra got the Strawberry Milk Shake of Death, just got it home from the mechanic 2 days ago, after spending $2,800 to fix it. Hopefully I don't run into the timing chain problem next, but every other problem, I already have lol. I used to have to park on a steep hill to burp it to get the heat going during winter. Great vid.
Timing chains aren't that big of a deal really. I did mine recently and I took my time and it wasn't as bad as some of these youtubers make it out to be. I did everything except the upper tensioners and I had less than 400 and that's with new waterpump, oil, filters, coolant and other miscellaneous stuff.
Timing chain issue resolved in 2010. Google timing chain class action
Timing chains are a hit or miss on these, not all have the noise and problem and some do.
Got a 2012 Xterra Pro-4x with 105k miles. Recently had to replace the valve covers due to leaking gaskets and leaking spark plug tube seals. Apparently, that's a common problem too right around the 100k mark. Other than that, it's been an incredibly reliable vehicle.
Same story on my 2010 Off Road, they lasted just a bit longer before they started leaking but both were done between 118k and 150k.
The Xterra is definitely the most reliable SUV I've ever owned next to my 2009 Jeep Commander. I've had my 2015 Xterra Pro 4x for exactly two years now and it has been perfect in every way! I just put all brand new Goodyear Wrangler Trail Runner tires on it a couple of months ago and it's like riding on air!
100k is recommended for spark plug replacement. To get to bank 1 head,you need to take the plenum off,may aswell replace the cover gaskets wile you at it.
Yup had all those issues with my 05 X 😆
Yep. 2005 Frontier. Me too.
I have an 08 that I bought new with 70k miles now. The only thing that worries me is the SMOD. I will probably bypass the radiator cooler if I have the secondary cooler. I should check it now, actually.
Thank you for the information because I'm having two of those issues. I wish you stayed in my state. I will pay you to fix mine...
I have a 2005 xterra. The OEM radiator was replaced by a previous owner already. The problems I've had so far is:
Broken timing chain tensioner guides (only one was still intact... I think I got lucky). Replaced almost everything in there. Don't need to remove the engine, but you'll need a second pair of hands for part of that job.
Shattered plastic coolant fitting while alone in the hills. Made for a long limp back home.
Old cracked rubber hoses that caused some minor codes.
Fuel level sensor working only at half a tank and above, but I keep extra fuel on hand anyways. I'll get around to that one maybe.
Some evap canister problem that I've never been able to figure out, but never put much effort into. That thing is in the most inconvenient spot.
That said, I have been very happy with my xterra and enjoy exploring the woods with it. I've even managed to get all 4 wheels off the ground one time. I probably deserved some of those broken parts. I did the repairs myself, though, so I suppose these problems have cost me a lot less than it would for others.
Check your inside brake pads as well as the outside ones. I've have the metal indicator break off along with uneven pad wear on one of my wheels.
+Kurros SC Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!
Great video. Do you have a video for installing external transmission cooler?
+Weng Youliang We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
I had a 1st gen 2001 Xterrra. Only came up with the first issue and, fortunately, I only had to replace the gas sensor. I miss that truck.
Do the Jeep Liberty 02-07 top 5 problems!
Xterra 2005, only issue i had was with the chain tensioner... Apparently the metal chains rub against plastic parts which worn out and then you are only rubbing metal against metal which causes the noise.
Thank you so much
I have a 2005 Nissan Xterra. Number 1 problem is , it’s a rust bucket with wheels. Damn thing rusts so easy.
The transmission fluid mixing with the coolant is known as the "SMOD" issue, which stands for "Strawberry Milkshake Of Death" since it kills the automatic transmission if you don't nip it in the bud right away. Nissan finally fixed it with the 2011 models. If you have a model before that, get it bypassed before it happens. This issue does not happen with manual transmissions.
I own a 2015 Pro-4X which now has 75,000 miles. There has only been two warranty issues so far: The A/C condenser went bad, and the right rear axle seal was replaced. That's it. Great vehicle so far!
They really are great vehicles, it’s unfortunate Nissan had these issues to begin with, but thankfully they fixed them. Have an 08 Pathfinder with 178k. It’s been great. Radiator and trans was replaced by Nissan.
How can I bypass that? Thanks
The bigger killer for the transmission is the water entering into the transmission valve body . Most automatic xterras already have a secondary transmission oil to air cooler. Simply bypass the coolant transmission section , you are good to go
I paid 600.00 to have the Dealer replace the radiator for piece of mind on my 2010 Xterra with 71k. I'm not happy that Nissan knew this vehicle had this potentially catastrophic plus very expensive issue and did not recall the vehicle to replace the defective part!
easiest thing to do is grab a radiator and trans cooler from a junk yard and toss it in. only takes an hour or so and doesnt cost much
It takes 2 hours of your time,and $120 for aftermarket radiator to do this.
I had the air pocket problem, on my 2001 pathfinder. Same issue when using the heater. Also, my coolant was low at the radiator.
Another issue with coolant. Is they can leak at seem where the plastic is sealed to the aluminum. (on top).... Mine had a very slow leak there...
Hello, I had a leaf break on the rear spring, 3000 miles apart one leaf, warranty replaced them but do one on each side ,from one oil change to another
I have a 2007 Xterra and I guess this explains why I have no heat unless I’m driving.
I had a 2000 and have a 2011 Pro4X. Both had leaf springs that cracked and needed to be replaced with less than 80K on them.
2007 Xterra here with 209,000 miles. None of these issues and just regular maintenance. Bought it brand new back then. Lucky I guess.
Lucky! My 07 SE 2WD has had all of these minus the hot air problems and has resulted in about $13,000 in mechanic bills over the 10 years I’ve owned it + wheel bearings 😂 now I’m just hoping it can hold on another 1-2 years when I can buy the new bronco without having to place an order!
NEED ADVICE:
I just bought a 2007 X Terra with 218,000 miles on it. Any suggestions on further maintenance and repairs before things could go bad?
I got 60k miles on mine. Haven't had any issues yet. A lot of people I know who has one says the problems starts to show after 100k But those 5 things are nothing. Compared to the fact it runs forever.
Wow man you’re the best 👍
mixing coolant liquid with transmission liquid also happened on pathfinder as well but not for newer year models i think starting from 2009 or so they have changed system and this issue was resolved on pathfinder. how about xterra ?? was xterra was changed as well?? does anyone know??
Is the transmission/coolant mixing a issue with the standard transmission as well?
Question about this car. I have a 2012 Xterra, drives and runs well, doesn't overheat but i do have engine fluid in the coolant. My transmission coolant is bypassed. Anythoughts what might be the issue or where to look at ? it has 100k miles on it
Sir I had an issue with my Nissan Xterra 2010 dvc was deactivated
I have a 2010 Nissan Xterra 4x4 w/118k miles on it & that heat issue you mention is happening to mine. When idle no heat but when I'm driving I have heat but as soon I get to a stop light, no heat.
I have a 2012 with 190k on it. It’s been a super reliable truck. Until now, my biggest issue was a failed driver window motor- super easy fix. In the last 10k miles, I’ve had two instances of the trans not shifting above 2nd gear and a P1774 CEL. I’m planning to do a trans fluid and filter change (and solder any broken tracer lines) as well as a radiator replacement (even though the 2012 doesn’t have the trans cooler inside). Would it be advisable to try and do the timing chains and tensioners when the radiator is removed?
I have an issue where I get no air coming from the foot warmer vents.
Apparently some say to make sure timing chain is metal and not made of rubber when u buy a used xterra.
Any advice on what year is most reliable between 2006-2012?
I have a 2007 Xterra running hot the temperature gauge says it's normal loses coolant but no leaks at least I can find it but it does smell a little like antifreeze in the engine bay I replace timing chain and water pump 2 years ago
The transmission/coolant issue only happens between the years of 2005-2010 and onlu automatic transmissions, not manuals. The timing chain tensioners are a problem between the years of 2005-2011
+KO6JAY Thanks for the feedback!
I had been told that they started putting in the new timing chains and guides on the 2010 VQ’s so you shouldn’t have the whine on a 2010. I have 150k on my 2010 and no problem so far.
@@Mike.D.843 are you still on the original timing chain with 150k? I have a 2012 coming up on 100K and I'm wondering when I need to have this done. Thanks
You do not need to change the timing chain, they don’t go bad like a belt.
My 2007 Xterra bought brand new. In 2011 when it had around 50,000 miles. The timing chain guides had to be replaced under warranty.
+moe malik Thanks for the feedback!
I got a 2002. They run forever. Regular maintenance... Take quiet some gas. 3.3 ltr turbo. Great car, and very strong... It's a real jeep
Bought one new in 02, drove it for 17 years, 160,000 miles. Great truck, have to change supercharger at approx. 100,000 miles....
Good.

2008 Xterra. Bought at 7,000 miles. Now at 120,000 never abused or rode hard. Sadly I think its biggest POS I ever owned. VDC and ABS control module failure almost immediate (and 2x). Red milkshake of death at 51,000 only partial warranty from Nissan, $2500 for me, new trans and rad. Drivers p-window motor failed($70 rock auto). One rear door decided it wouldn't open for a year but fixed itself! Rear hatch door handle fell apart($40 amazon). All Cats replaced($400)and CEL still on, don't care. Heater resistor module failure ($50 Amazon). Front wheel hubs/bearings/ABS sensors on my 3rd set. Plus all regular maintenance such as brakes and exhaust, battery etc. If you don't do your own repairs, don't buy a Nissan.
infamous Xterra "nosebleed". I just routed a separate transmission cooler.
Belts inside the transmission? I think he meant to say fibers where the coolant will dissolve the glues used to glue the fibers to the steels.
Yeahhh I have a '15 Pro4X and had the no heat at idle ...burped the cooling system and viola!!! Fixed!! So far great vehicle. They said it drives like hell on the highway...I say...hogwash!
I have a 14 pro 4x and I think it’s good on the highway, especially for a very capable 4wd .
Yesss. I have a 2012 and also no heat at idle.
Does this 1Aauto radiator for 2nd gem Nissan Xterra already incorporate the new design to prevent coolant from getting into the transmission fluid?
I just routed a separate one mounted below in front.
I love this car tbh.
+Zhila Muhammed Thanks for the feedback!
@@1AAuto thank you for your quality videos!
I have a 2015 Xterra Pro-4X and it the driver's side window seems to love going out every couple of years... other than that it's a torque-y tank and I love it.
My transmission just died in my 2010 due to previous owner ignoring coolant atf mixture. Gears were going crazy and rpm was off the wall. Hooked up the obd scanner and it showed up gear 4 incorrect ratio.
Another common issue If Cruise control doesn't work on these just replace the clockspring assembly.
Engine mounts wearing can cause the catalytic converters to go bad
I definitely have a heater/coolant leak on my 2010 Xterra. Heater doesn't work when stopped
I actually have the opposite problem with the A/C system's temps. Its cold at cold start and driving, but if i sit long enough (traffic, drivethru, etc), as the engine coolant temps go up, the A/C starts blowing warm air. But once i move again its pretty quickly cold again. A dealer claims the schrader valve being loose caused this, but I'm not sure if an air leak would have a consistent cold/warm/cold issue and be dependent on the cooling system...I would think that would just be warmer at start up or all the time regardless of motion. Initially i diagnosed it to be a bad cooling fan that didnt come on, they replaced it, but it kept doing it.
An interesting check to do is the Nissan system self check (for Frontier/Xterras anyways) where you 'turn the car to accessory (do not start up), push in the door jam sensor 10x within 20 seconds, and turn the accessory off/on 2 times. I think its that from memory...but it goes through a 6 system check and my cooling fan simply did not come on. I thought that was why my A/C went from cold to warm at idle when the engine was up to temp, looks like I have multiple issues. Dealer now claims they fixed my loose schrader valve, but I'm hesitant its going to be related as the symptoms for that seem to be warm on start up and more often, not just when idle with an engine thats up to temp

Timing chain bad? Time for an LS swap! 👍
Do you have a way I can contact you about my 05 xterra? Or does anyone have a lot of experience on them?
My 2005 Pathfinder made a milkshake for me. I’m in the process of replacing the complete trans and crappy radiator.
+Chris Franco Thanks for the feedback!
Been luck on all of them except the first one. Yup, common problem.
Of course 😁
Coolant\transmission issue and timing chain tensioner fixed by Nissan '11-'15.
+craig Craig Thanks for the feedback!
Where is your shop...? On my way!
Thanks for the video. I have a 2010 Xterra. I haven't had any issues with it except I had to replace the window motor on my driver's side. But, I thought I should watch the video as the car is aging and, when you hit #5, I had to laugh because I have this problem and didn't even realize it. I remember waiting in my car at the bank line last winter, freezing my butt off, and wondering why I wasn't getting any hot air, despite the car being warmed up. I will fix the problem now. I see a less cold winter on the horizon!
Xterras pathfinder & frontiers ask have external transmission coolers, all you have to do is bypass the radiator one. Quick 5min job
Great job as usual young man vary informative indeed
The transmission issues were only from 05-10 correct ?
What can cause fluid to come out tail pipe.
I have a 2005 and the battery won't charge I have put 2 different alternaters on it and I'm still having problems
