Hi all just joined the owners club. Purchased a 2009 Murano recently, it had problems which I was informed of at the time of purchase, front wheel bearing bad. Replaced that no problem but the ABS speed sensor needed replacing (These always get corroded in and are destroyed when you try to remove.), was quoted 400 pounds by the dealer for a new one. When I was told the price which I was expecting to be about 40 pounds I told them it must be a typo. They insisted not and so I bought one from China for 21 pounds including shipping and another from Germany for 36 pounds. Has anyone else experienced this unbeliveable scam by the dealers? There is nothing in these things to warrant that sort of price. Some one not knowing anything about cars may pay the price, criminal. However, this vehicle has done 174k miles and so has been well used and I now have a very bad clatter from what I think is a failed hydraulic lifter. Has anyone changed these themselves and how involved is it? Alternatively has anyone used additive Moly Lub tappet Lubricant to clean the lifter ports and seals and was effective? Thanks for any feed back.
