Re: Error code P0488
You may need to take the car for a good long drive on a motorway at a highish speed. it may be related to the DPF regeneration a lot of Australian diesel owners are experienceing.
Have a read through the T31 diesel section under DPF regeneration and MIL light.

Re: Error code P0488
Steve,
According to the T31 diesel error codes found HERE P0488 related to a clogged EGR valve.
This is not good news indeed, as you maybe experiencing an oil leak that is clogging the EGR valve as described HERE
Please check your air filter and if you notice any traces of engine oil on it, take it immediately to the dealer to trouble-shoot as they might need to replace the oil separator.
P.S. This has nothing to do with your wife's driving style

Do you know if this is covered under the standard 3 year, 60k miles warranty?
Hi Steve,
It must be covered by warranty. It's a Nissan defect.
