STICKY: 1.6dci Misfires Misses a Beat

STICKY: 1.6dci Misfires Misses a Beat

[quote="Donkey"]maybe those going through a problem can make a new thread [/QUOTE] Or perhaps easier if people without the fault stop chipping in with ridiculous comments suggesting that it's not a fault and it's just that they don't know what they're talking about because they're stupid a...

STICKY: 1.6dci Misfires Misses a Beat

On my car (non-CVT, 4WD) there is absolutely no chance of not noticing the problem if the conditions are right. Speed is around 110kph, on a flat road, extremely light throttle (like almost just resting your foot on it), in 6th gear (normally). When it "faults" the rev counter jumps up and...

Qashqai 360 (J11)

All they're interested in is making money, Special Editions allow them to make more money! Although, as far as I know my local garage still has three launch Limited Editions sat in the underground carpark that no one wants!

Qashqai 360 (J11)

I'm guessing that they've run out of 19" wheels, roof rails and headlights so wondered what else they could build! People seem to like "special editions" so likely to get more sales of those (even though I think you'd need to be slightly mental looking at the price!)

Qashqai 360 (J11)

Spain is a big place, it's freezing cold in the Winter over most the country and even down here it gets chilly - plus of course I can drive an hour or so and be at 3,478m and go skiing (one of the reasons I opted for the 4X4)

Qashqai 360 (J11)

Over here they've released a Special Edition (I guess based on the J10 version) called the 360. Comparing the specs I'm struggling to see why you'd bother as comparing a 1.6dci 4x4 360 with a Tekna and you pay 2900a‚¬ less but on the 360 you don't get electric heated seats, roof bars (noted that the...

[quote="Donkey"]Im convinced its to do with emmisions[/QUOTE]
Me too, which could be why it's affecting the 4x4 too if they're trying to get that into some lower bracket

STICKY: 1.6dci Misfires Misses a Beat

They told me that for the CVT they had a software upgrade for the gearbox but that it came with a mandatory replacement gearbox too. However, the fault only seems to affect some CVTs and the ones it did all require a replacement gearbox but there was a delay with their third party supplier - this co...
