a big thank to deepam for keeping this thread alive till now. Also please guide me on followings:-
I am having a February 2016 terrano diesel which has ran 81000 kms. It seems clutch overhauling will be required,also i think it will b better to change timing kit completely along with front struts.As there r no service station nearby, have decided to procure parts independently and get the job done at FNG. it seems valeo or luk clutch kit,monroe front struts,bosch brake pad with original timing kit will b used,Please guide me that these items will be suffice or should i opt for service centre renewal which is also quite far.

Mediocre me
Cannt tell you about Nissan.
But I have a fiat MJD. And good mechanic friends, even in Tata.

For timing kit, they said dont change till 1.5L (company says 60K KM).
For clutch, I changed at 90K. It came out super clean. Was not required.

Finally got the 180k km servicing done.
Timing Belt replacement for K9K Engine is 60k km.
Along with I replaced Coolant Water Pump & Coolant Tank as it's 10th year.
I had asked the dealer to pull out Radiator, AC condenser and Turbo Intercooler.
I got it cleaned using Alkaline Tetra Cleaner, it cleaned but not to my satisfaction.

Here are pics:
As seen when Bumper was removed:

Radiator:

First all three was washed with water & then sprayed the Alkaline Tetra Cleaner, allowed for chemical to act:

I expected more foam to come out but it didn't.
Not sure I diluted it with Distilled water and not sure it prevented from Cleaning.
Was I suppose to use dilution with normal water, would it clean better? YouTube videos showed non dilution not showing significant impact.

Post cleaning, rinsing water and cleaned with compressed air:
Turbo intercooler

I tried cleaning with Vim liquid and soft brush no much improvement.
Well, better than the situation it's in the car.

One of the screws out of 5, mechanic had difficulty to remove, WD40 was applied to be remove the screw. Look at the blackened portion:

Once water pump was removed realised that the sealing was using Anabond or Loctite however the same was not included in the Coolant pump packing.
Then when checked with VIN# it shows Gasket is provided but not included with the Pump.
Gasket part not available at Dealership and other dealers. Had to be ordered and procured from Chennai. Order placed.
Then next day morning I recollected it's better to replace the screws for fixing water pump to avoid future failure.

Apologies for late reply. i had not logged into BCMT, just saw your post yesterday night and decided to drop a note.
NO CLUTCH OVERHAULING may be needed in your Terrano.
Ideally Timing belt has to be changed in 60k km and once in Max 5 years. Do not take the risk of running it more on Timing Belt.
I remember Nissan Sunny one owner did not change it at 80k km service and after 2-3 km Timing belt snapped and Engine Failure took place.
First attention is that you replace the Timing Belt, Drive Belt and Tensioner Assembly. Below, you will find the Nissan part numbers which I changed. For quick reference:
1172000Q6M- Belt Fan & Alternator - INR 1410
1175000Q1GMK - Tensioner Assly - INR 2173
1680600QBB - Tensioner Assly - INR 7478
Labour will be approx. INR 4000.

On what basis you feel the Front Struts have failed? it is not operating properly or is it because of Oil leaks or you are getting noise? I was also told of same and I should have waited for it.
Change the Balancing / Stabilizing Rod Mounting bushes first. The Suspension noise should go.
Part of Nissan # 546114237R called as "Brg Bar-Anti Ro / Bushes Roll Bar [02]" - INR 688 is: [There will be 2 and each will cost INR 700/-], so in about INR 950 your problem should get resolved.
I believe you can run Suspension for another 10-15 k km.

Now coming to your Clutch, I am not aware of your driving pattern, whether in City or on highway where is the Maximum run? Have you changed the Gear Box oil?
If not then you change it, Grade is 0W-20. Part number of which you will find below.
Along with it change the Clutch Master Sleeve called in Nissan as "Transmitter-Clu [01], Part # 306106175R- Cost INR 3575".

I recommend doing this job at Nissan Authorized Service Center though you need to travel to different city. Call them and confirm the parts are available.

Let me know, once you have made the changes and let me know how your vehicle drives.

thanks deepam for the reply, i thought of getting these done by 31st march,but i am still outside india and i guess i should be back by next week.Then only repairs will be carried out.
Regarding front suspension, both front struts are leaking, no abnormal sound from them as of now.its completely silent, so i guess only strut renewal without bush renewal would suffice.
Regarding clutch, it is shuddering frequently, so i am thinking of changing it. as the same was happening in my altis also which was gone after clutch renewal.fuel efficiency is still the same and no slippage is also observed.
belt renewal will be on proactive basis.
AGAIN THANKS FOR DETAILED REPLY.
