G'day Guys and Gals!
In this video I talk about some COMMON ISSUES and COMMON PROBLEMS that the Isuzu Mu-x and D-max can experience. I also show you how to fix these issues and overcome the problems with some simple DIY work. If you have any other issues that you have come across, please let me know down in the comments below. If we make this video a talking space it will be great for me and others to learn about any other issues that these vehicles experience.
My TOP 7 ISSUES with the Isuzu Mu-x and D-max are-
1. A/C belt squeaks (replace belt)
2. Hub seal Squeal/singing noise (Lubricate hub seals)
3. DPF models - TURBO issues (Warranty Turbo replacement necessary)
4. Body Mounts sagging and cracking (Replace with new mounts - Colorado mounts also Fit)
5. Body Cracking around build place in engine bay and behind airbox (Major Body repair)
6. Driveline Vibrations and Shuddering (Multiple different fixes as discussed in video)
7. Head unit crashing after period of time (Replace with Aftermarket or new head unit)
That is my top 7 Issues I have seen over the years of working as a Mechanic and also owning an Isuzu Mu-x. If you do have any other issues I didn't mention in the video just drop it down in the comments below and we can all help each other out to diagnose the issue.
The Isuzu Mu-x and D-max are a very reliable vehicle and do have minimal issues in relation to most other vehicles on the market today. The Isuzu Mu-x and D-max are a great choice of vehicle and will give you years of trouble free motoring if serviced regularly and looked after.
DISCLAIMER - Please don't let this video scare you off purchasing an Isuzu Mu-x or D-max. Every vehicle on the market, any vehicle ever made has issues. In relation to other vehicles on the market the Mu-x has very minimal issues in comparison its rivals. These are just some of the common issues and common problems to look out for if you are purchasing a new or used Isuzu Mu-x or D-max.
Isuzu Mu-x and Isuzu D-max are great 4x4 vehicles and have the reliable 4JJ1 engine which has been tried and tested for many years. The Vehicles are of a solid construction and there aren't too many issues or problems to look out for when purchasing one. A general check over is always a good idea, check for corrosion, damage and any leaks. An RACQ Pre purchase inspection is a great idea if you don't have much mechanical knowledge too.
I have fitted every modification to the Isuzu MU-X myself and really enjoy filming and teaching you guys how to do the same to your own 4x4 vehicles. The modifications I have done are listed below -
-AFN Bull Bar
-AFN 9" LED Spotlights
-Domin8r Extreme 12000IB winch

CHASSIS RUST - Now a listed check for all Dmax and MUX in New Zealand when they are taken in for their annual road fitness certificate or similar (its called a WOF here). The fault is that the front chassis crossmember, just behind the bumper, rusts on older D-Max and MUX models up to about 2019. If they fail the inspection the only remedy is to have the whole cross member cut out and a new one fitted. We have both a 2015 Dmax and a 2015 MUX, the Dmax lives in a garage, gets loved and looked after, has only 56K on it but it still has the rust problem. The MUX lives outside and had it bad but has been fixed -- this rust is a huge issue in New Zealand.

@joldback 2 года назад

I had the wheel squeak issue, After a lot of mucking around I found it wasn't the seals. In my case the anti rattle shims on the front brake pads were somehow able to slide in toward the rotor and rub making the horrendous noise. The fix was easy , I just positioned them back where they belong and found there were some convenient little tabs that I bent over to keep them there. Hope this helps.

@nickpennell9878 2 года назад

Pretty sure I had same issue on my 2018, mechanic said common problem. Tightening fixed it. Got 2021 model now and wish I had my old truck. I do like new one but I prefer my old more.

2016 dmax. Done 190,000km. Been running a remap for 50,000. *Abs sensor crapped out after too many puddles. *had a wobbly idle for a while, injectors are getting new seals and copper washers soon. *AC went after it went to mechanics for the idling issue. other than these issues it's been great.

My a/c belt has been making that noise for absolutely ages and didn’t really take much notice because it wasn’t screeching but you’ve just brought that to my attention, she’ll be right. Press send..

@susanneweir7515 2 года назад

Hi Nick. Our 2017 DMax had the air-conditioning go last August. The dealer didn't honor the warranty.we took it to dealer twice and he replaces hoses etc and said it was fixed each time but one day later, the air wouldn't be working again.Afee $700 in bills, We got a second opinion. Easy diagnosis showed evaporator Waa the problem. Another $3,200 to get it fixed. Very disappointed with Isuzu as it is a common problem and they knew it.

@tonyp4665 2 года назад

@kirstycrack2029 2 года назад

Hi, we have cracked inner guards and cracks behind the headlights as well on our 2018 Mux. Awaiting word from Isuzu if they’ll cover under warranty or not. Do you have an aftermarket bullbar on your dmax?

2020 facelift dmax. 25,000kms in front left upper control arm ball joint missing/sheared off split pin causing nut to come off…luckily i had the suspension lifted by Pedders. They took a look and now im awaiting a replacement ball joint. At least they took responsibility, even if they didnt want to admit it was most likely them

@nabionic 2 года назад

The only issue I have had with my 2017 MUX is the Turbo issue you spoke about. And that was quickly replaced from my local dealer in South Australia.. When i questioned them they said they have heaps of the new turbos on the shelf waiting. This was around 6 months ago I recon and at the time they were replacing atleast one a day. And mine also has the Green dot on the waste gate actuator

@susanneweir7515 2 года назад

Hi Nick, our 2017 dmax, had it's air-conditioning fail last august. The dealer didn't honour the warranty, just replacing parts that didn't need replacing and costing me 700 dollars. We got a second opinion, the evaporator, he said they all go on the dmax, just over 100 thousand kms.

Nick your engine bay is always immaculate. Can you do a video on how you clean/degrease your engine bay. I’m always cautious with cleaning the engine bay and doing it safely so I don’t damage anything

@LowRangeNick 2 года назад

Hey Mick, that's a great idea! You are pretty safe with the Isuzu as the ecu is inside the vehicle. I just hit it with the gerni after 4wding.

@donaldkempf7035 2 года назад

My thoughts on the panel cracking is. - : - a poorly installed snorkel. an access hole that is maybe a tad off position or has been just hacked into the panel. - a poorly installed bull bar. the bull bar is attached to the chassis. the body work is on the mounts you have mentioned. movement must be clear between these two items. any hitting or rubbing will transfer a load onto the inner panel and I believe contribute to the crack situation. both of these items cross from the chassis to body. two different structures. adequate clearance is required. you should be able to fit 2 fingers in-between the bull bar and any of the guarding. after my bull bar was installed PROFESSIONALLY , I had panel rub marks by the time we drove home. plus the inner wheel arch plastic was attached to both the body and chasses. so just run an eye over your panel clearance. the car body will move heaps on the chasses when in use.

Hi Nick thanks for all your"how to" videos, after watching your "common issues" I went out to my 2017 Mux to have a look under the bonnet to see if mine had any cracks on the inner guards and to my surprise I found two cracks on the passenger side the 1st was exactly where you described and the second was a little further back just in front of the fuel filter. What exactly should I do next "what's the proper procedure"

@aprilflanagan4354 Год назад

Did you figure it out ?

@hearliam 2 года назад

Hey Nick my issue was, and I think the mechanic has fixed it, was between third and fourth gear, the transmission would slip or over rev, had it serviced and put back to factory, so far so good, good to see you back.

@Cameron_W 2 года назад

Thanks Nick ya legend! Love how you show us the problems parts and explain how to fix them 👍 2015 MUX LST…no problems so far. I check for the body cracks from time to time…so far so good, but I’ll be checking out those mounts now too.

@rielandplate7068 2 года назад

2019 Dmax, had it in for 45000k service. Piece of a snap ring that retains the gears on the shaft came out of the transfer case oil change on the magnetic plug. No other sworf/metal on there. Goes in for warranty in 6 days. Goes in and out of 4x4 fine, stays in 4H and 4L perfectly. Will update when they pull it out.

@rielandplate7068 2 года назад

Also had a turbo replaced within a few months, Isuzu Newcastle were super good out and in within a few hours. Otherwise it's been a beast.

@fezo4202 2 года назад

Thanks for the great infoNick. I experienced the noisy AC fan belt at 140 Km on my ‘15 MUX LST and had it replaced only for the same belt self destruct 3 months later.

Wife's 2019 Mux needed a dpd diferential pressure sensor and hoses at 40km and there is an Service Bulletin for this fix. Dpd wouldn't do a burn and went into limp hm mode. Just as a heads up. Like your vids champion

@traceyryancarrington6971 2 года назад

Yep, 2019 MU-X - we are on our 3rd turbo so this problem rings very true.... Factory head unit (LSU) had a broken button, 12 weeks and they replaced under warranty is a "refurbished" unit - we will see how long that lasts. 🤫

@danielfisher6845 2 года назад

Hi I have a Mazda BT 50 2017 space cab and a 2019 MUX ,the Mazda power leaves the Isuzu for dead ,if the 5 cylinder was in the MUX it would the best 4x4 available. But I love driving the MUX its got the best feel and would recommend it it anyone, I tow a van with the MUX and a ski boat with BT which both weigh the same ,the BT leaves the MUX for power when towing ,I have heavy duty standard height springs in the back of the MUX which keeps it level on the road with the Van on ,but a bit stiffer on bumps when no van on,you feel the back skip a bit more on corrugated roads, The MUX turbo was replaced at 35000 km and the TCM module was replaced at 55000km the car went into limp mode and had 3 rd gear and reverse only. It took 5 weeks to find fault and get part from Thailand (transmission control module ,electronic part that sits on top of gearbox and controls your gears) I just hope the new model with all the new electric driving assist crap doesn't cause any future faults,and the funny thing now is the new BT is a Isuzu rebadged

@jamesdanks8854 2 года назад

Thanks for another informative video again Nick. I’ve started getting the belt squeal but that should be an easy repair. I have had a rear wheel come off at speed and have found the rear wheel studs to be very short compared to other manufacturers. All up, at almost 200,000km on a 2015 LS-U MU-X I’m very happy though a rear locker would be nice so that’s on my next mods list.

@Swa8252 2 года назад

At 175k on my MUX I’ve literally had all but the body mounts. How lucky.

@chenderson4969 2 года назад

I have my MY18 6sp auto dmax slam into 4th gear really hard especially going up hills changing down. It’s really quite a slam and shakes the car. Happens intermittently but feels like the transmission is about to fall out on the ground when it happens. When I’m going up a hill it’ll come down from 6-5 all good then thinks about changing form 5-4th for a bit then just goes bang and shudders the car violently. Just about gives you whiplash so can’t be doing the driveline any favours. Haven’t had it checked out as I don’t really trust the dealer to be tampering with it because I do a lot of country driving with it and don’t want to be stranded.

@francoishamman2649 2 года назад

I tend to agree with body mounts causing the cracks, is there a upgrade or better version of these body mounts? I personally think the rubber is to soft, maybe that why the ride is so comfortable

@datdippa8495 2 года назад

I've got a 2017 Lsu and mate I've had, 3 turbos changed (on my 4th and last) going aftermarket now, my air con condenser went at 45000kms (replaced under warranty). With that being replaced, they had to Rip apart my whole dash as it sits behind there and when they put it together the plastics don't line up anymore. Had bug fights with the dealership because they were stating that's how they come from factory lol. Started to lose love for the dmax slowly after this. My left side mirror started to fail when it folds and now folds in completely out of sync with the right side mirror at 50,000kms, head unit vol up and vol down buttons broke. My belt also needs changing now and I have the squeak pretty bad coming from the driver wheel area but cannot be the bearings as I've regreased them (thanks to your video). I've yet to check the body mounts now.... Also to note, the incab noise of the motor is really loud, even after I've dyna matted the whole interior. I really do like my dmax but after everything I've been through, the countless trips to isuzu, losing the car for days on end and the trouble the dealerships give to actually approve a warranty claim is the reason I'd never buy a isuzu car again.

@LowRangeNick 2 года назад

Sounds like you have had alot of issues!

@ChrisDimo 2 года назад

63000KM done on my 2017 LSU Dmax and the air con condenser gone as well. Waiting for it to get replaced under warranty next week. Have been told its a 2 day job. They advised that they replace a lot of these.

@luigifiorillo7680 3 месяца назад

I know how you feel, you have a lemon too, isuzu didn’t give a crap as far as they are concerned it’s was fine of the production line blaming the dealership for the issues.

@MrTheBigOx Месяц назад

I’ve had similar 2017 as well. Ac condenser went at under 30k and after being put back together there’s a rattle now. Volume buttons are also on their way out. Also 3rd turbo has blowen the last turbo lasted 20000km roughly 7 months. Trouble is I’ve tuned it, I was told it would still be replaced as recall if I did but now that it’s tuned they say they won’t replace it. It’s been a really good truck with 230k on it but I wouldn’t buy another now. I’ll stick a aftermarket turbo in it I’m not going back to the factory one

@philthird3633 25 дней назад

With the squeak around the driver's wheel, there can be an issue with the windscreen bottom corner plastic covers on the outside. When they get dust under them they can squeak with bidy movement against the glass. Spray some silicone spray or even just pour water over them to see if the squeak disappears. I had this issue with an untraceable squeak from the dash and my passenger side bottom corner mould was the problem. If it starts to squeak again I just spray it again around the edges against the glass. @MrTheBigOx

@motomagic1222 Год назад

I found you have to be careful in the autos could be the manuals aswell but be careful when taking the centre console out when doing things like adjusting the handbrake there is a small sensor type thing that you can break and its quite easy to break but what it does is everything in the car will tell you it’s in park but that sensor tells the ignition barrel that it’s in park so when you break it you can’t turn the car off properly or pull the key out unless the battery is disconnected

@davidharvey6499 Год назад

My 2020 MY19 MUX ONYX edition has done 24000km and I’ve noticed that it now performs auto DPD regens before the level reaches the maximum levels which used to be after around 500kms. Now the auto regen process starts after about 2 to 3 bars on the soot level gauge and now at intervals a lot less than 500kms. Is this ok or should I be concerned. I live in the country and do regular driving at highway and freeway speeds for longish distances and try to avoid short trips.

@LowRangeNick Год назад

That does sound a bit strange, it should regen when it hits Max bars. Couldn't hurt to ask your nearest isuzu dealer for advice and potentially get it checked.

The Alternator: My alternator clogged up with mud after a drive on a wet road with not so bad puddles. My Dealership fixed the issue no problem, and admitted this was a common problem with the DMAX.

Dont suppose anyone has any suggestions on how to protect the alternator? I do enjoy driving my dmax through the odd puddle. thanks.

@LowRangeNick Год назад

I would recommend starting at around 36PSI. Monitor the tyre wear and see how it goes. In the driver's door jam there may be a placard that states recommended pressure. It's usually lower though and will make the tyres wear uneven. I run 36Psi in my vehcile and it seems good.

Had a constant brake issue. When the car is parked for a while or over night the brake pedal can’t be pressed in. It’s fully pressurised. Had it fixed once..they bled the lines. Keeps happening. Need to press the brake to press start button and sometimes won’t start until brake is pressed twice.

@aaronnorris3450 2 года назад

Hi Bintox, yes I forgot, my mux has the same problem. It's like there is a vacuum leak causing it to loose vacuum over night and your brake booster doesn't work and pedal is hard until you start car then the pedal goes back to normal

We have purchased a 2nd hand 2020 Izuzu MU-X. Tonight is the first time we have driven in the dark and used the lights. We noticed the red internal lights in the back door trim but they aren't in the front?? Also, the centre console has no lights at all on the shifter, air concontrols or Hazard light button. Any help would be appreciated as I can't seen to find if this is normal for this car or a fuse or fault. Thank you

Cleaning of the particulate filter with chemicals and high-pressure washing helped. After that, the regeneration period became 300 km again.

You can try a dpf clean using the wurth cleaner. Other wise there may be another issue. There are issues with the differental pressure sensors I believe. Might need to scan the vehicle for codes.

Lost pressure in clutch 2018 Dmax everyone thought it was master cylinder, changed it twice. Turns out it was the slave cylinder. Move on 4 months now check 4x4 light is on and traction control off light is on. Gear box as an issue of grinding. Apparently it’s possibly a bearing. 2018 Dmax hasn’t even done 90000 kms, when the slave cylinder went it was at 60000 kms. Isuzu didn’t help me out at all. Let them know the Navara I had prior I bought brand new and did 200000 kms in it and never skipped a beat. I love the car when it works, but Jesus am I having a hard time staying in the period of grace 😅

Good day. Nice video. I’m having a problem with my brakes (2017 mu x). It keeps squeaking whenever i step on the brakes at low speed. I had it check with isuzu and they kept saying the disc is just dirty. But everytime they clean it, after a fews days the squeaking comes back. I hope you can help. Thank you.

@LowRangeNick Год назад

That is very common. The only fix is to either machine the discs and replace the brake pads. Or chamfer the existing brake pads. Or replace the brake discs and Pads. It squeaks because the dirty lip/rust contacts the brake pad when braking. Cheers

@jess6966 Год назад

Hi I just want to find out we are new to a diesel engine, We have been told to always fuel up at quarter tank so it doesn’t ruin the engine is this correct ? Thanks

@LowRangeNick Год назад

Hi Jess, its not necessary to fuel up at 1/4 tank all the time but it definitely wont hurt to get into the habit. It is however a good idea to fuel up as soon as possible after the fuel light comes on. This will ensure that there is still enough fuel in the tank to circulate and cool the injectors and injector pump. It may have been mentioned to you due to diesel engines not responding well to low fuel levels due to the fuel being used to cool the injection system.

I’ve actually had the body crack on my ‘16 dmax. Mostly right behind the headlights. Only just discovered this so I haven’t had it fixed. I’ve heard hit and miss stories of Isuzu covering the repair cost with many dealers blaming aftermarket accessories. I believe the factory mounts are way to soft and allow the body to flex causing the cracking. I’ve heard people swap in the Colorado body mounts which are way better.

The ac belt squeak is a really easy fix as you said. I bought my dmax second hand as an ex fleet car with 107,000km, I changed both the ac and the alternator belt at the same time, the alt belt didn't need changing but more just peace of mind. Both were the factory belts and I've changed to aftermarket and hasn't squeaked since. I did have a fuel pressure sensor fail on me, the car would start as normal then stall soon after, more commonly when parked uphill. I had to prime the fuel filter and it would run perfect afterwards. I got it replaced by a local mechanic and haven't had that problem since Loving my dmax and wouldn't buy anything else!
