Navara Diesel Particulate Filter Replacement

Diesel Particulate Filter Replacement for the Nissan Navara: a type approved replacement particulate filter with pressure sensor and gaskets, with the cause of the blockage diagnosed first.

The diesel engines in these pick ups and SUVs are strong, but they dislike short journeys, and particulate filters, injectors and oil dilution follow. Timing chains and belts are interval items on some and known faults on others. Each package says which. The D23 Navara is a hard working pick up, and the 2.3 dCi timing chain and the rear leaf or coil suspension are where the money goes.

Fitting

Labour guide: about 3 hours. Japanese manufacturers change parts by build date and by market, and grey imports add a second layer to that. Send the VIN or chassis number with the order and we confirm the part against the build data before anything is dispatched. For imported cars send the chassis plate, because the UK registration will not tell us enough. We are an independent parts specialist for Japanese cars. We are not Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Subaru or Mitsubishi and are not appointed by any of them; the names are their trademarks and are used here to describe fitment. We stock genuine, OEM and quality aftermarket side by side and every listing says which is which, because the price difference is real and so, sometimes, is the quality difference.

Which version to buy

OEM is the same part made by the factory supplier, in that supplier's box. Identical in practice and usually 25 to 40 per cent cheaper than genuine. Quality Aftermarket is a respected aftermarket maker we have used ourselves. Good value, and we say where it differs from the original.
