ZD30 Patrol Maintenance Parts 2000 - 2007
ZD30 Patrols are great workhorses however they do have their fair share of common parts that need replacing like any vehicle. The below four jobs are great things to check if you have just purchased your Patrol or if you haven’t shown it any love in awhile. This list goes over quick and cheap jobs to make sure your Patrol stays on the road.
Filters $
The ZD30 loves a good oil change and it keeps them running for longer, they are an engine that prefers an oil change every 5,000KM. It is also a smart time to change the air and fuel filter at the same time if you are not sure when they were last done.
This is a cheap fix.
Glow Plugs $
If your ZD30 is getting hard to start or is puffing white or black smoke it is probably time to change the glow plugs. This will restore your vehicles start time and fuel efficiency to how it should be performing from the factory.
This is a cheap fix.
Drive Belt Tensioner $
This is probably one of the most common issue with the ZD30 Nissan Patrols, the drive belt tensioners are known to blow out, they make a horrible sound when they do. You will surely know when it has let go. Luckily it is a cheap and easy component to fix.

MAF & Inlet Manifold $
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor is also known to get dirty so make sure you use a suitable MAF cleaner to give it a good clean. If it is to far gone we are able to quote on you a new sensor. Another quick job is to remove the inlet manifold and give it a good clean.
This can be a cheap fix.
