Hi,
My NS has had the ASC light and engine lights coming on and off for a few weeks. The car also had a distinct lack of power. I finally got into the dealer and the mechanic said the inlet manifold was probably clogged with soot and they would check it out.
After searching the forum I see that there seems to be a problem with the manifold on the NS and they have been replacing them with the NT manifold. Anyway I got the car back and all they did was replace the map sensor. They said that the manifold wasn't sooted up. Does anyone know if I'm likely to have the same issues down the track? The car is out of warranty in about 2 months (has about 126,000kms on it) so I don't really want to be stuck with forking out thousands of dollars getting the manifold replaced later if it should be fixed now. Is changing the map sensor just a quick fix to make me go away for a few months until the warranty is out?
Interestingly, when booking the car in I actually overheard the mechanic talking to his colleague and he said "haven't we done a manifold on this car already". Obviously they know about the manifold issue on the NS and have done a few in their workshop already.
Look forward to hearing from anyone who has had this issue and can offer some advice.
Cheers
