Re: T31 clutch /brake dust
I have a DCI manual and have had no problems. Although I dont use the cruise control to often as it more city driving than highway.
Would like to know the cause though

Re: T31 clutch /brake dust
Hi Ian
Mine too has been experiencing clutch smells after only short drives.
The clutch is on the way out, I know, its going in to Nissan on Tuesday for them to find out where the smell is coming from.
I have a gut feeling they are going to tell me its driver abuse , the RPM stays firm and there is absolutely no slipping, even under load.
They tell me it OK to drive if there is no slipping or if the revs are stable, so I have been, nearly 1000kms.
When they pull the box out it is going to look like abuse due to scoring on the pressure plate from the extra driving.
This is all because they claim they have been booked for a week and a half and don't have a chance to look at it earlier.
Other than the smell the car runs perfectly.
Its not a good sign after 43000 clicks.

thanks cooch t31
It has been at nissan for 6 days no change.
I was hoping that one of the diesel man t31 TL drivers has experienced this.
They cant put it on the hoist and run it as the fail safe on the computer kicks in
and shuts it down.
What has happened at Nissan, I am hoping you got your car back and all is well.
Please let us know as I think I'll have a similar situation.
Thanks

Re: T31 clutch /brake dust
Hi there,
I've got over 40,000kms on my diesel and I can't say I have experienced the problems you are talking about either.
Very rarely i can smell a burning smell after I've stopped, but i have put it down to the particulate filter doing its burn off procedure.

it mght be the esp kicking in and braking the car(hence brake smell)
when stopping the smell moves forward and when the thermo fan kicks in pushes the smell up the back of the engine up to the air vent intakes.
Interesting theory - it could well be the esp as occasionally I take a corner hard on the way home which upsets the ESP, then I am in the driveway about 1km later.... and in the middle there s a steep hill where hill hold may activate at times if I have to stop....
