Re: First impressions

I've had a QQ 1.6 4WD acenta premium for two years and the comments you have made echo many of the posts I have read on this very helpful forum. The rattles in the door and dashboard should be rectified by your dealer. I had a rattle by the glovebox which was sorted by the dealer applying foam pads....

Re: 2014 QQ Tekna not starting!

These are the exact symptoms I had when the FIAMM brand car battery in my 2014 QQ died last month. Nissan hotline to RAC swiftly brought a patrolman who quickly diagnosed a duff cell in the battery. The battery was changed at the local dealer under warranty. These Renault Nissan FIAMM batteries are ...

Re: Flat battery, after 9 days away.

After seven days away my two-year-old QQ wouldn't start this morning. Nissan RAC support was very good and the patrolman identified a dodgy FIAMM battery. Surprise, surprise! Two neighbours with 14 and 64 plate QQs have both had to have their FIAMM batteries changed in the last month. The local deal...

Re: 1.2 Dig-T Acenta Premium (64 plate)

Hi Glenn,
My QQ is a 64 plate Acenta Premium 1.6 4WD.
However here is the brochure I downloaded in September(ish) 2014 with the various specs.
I hope it's helpful.

Re: Connect firmware updates

Many thanks for the summary. I've just checked the Nissan service plan invoice and it states 'Major Service'. It covers all the items above, except coolant, and comes to £186.40. There is no VAT shown and no mention of software/firmware upgrade. I'll contact the Arbury Nissan, Bromsgrove tomorrow. H...

Re: Connect firmware updates

My QQ 2014 4WD went in for its second annual service yesterday at Arbury Nissan, Bromsgrove. The car generally has been good and Arbury have been helpful with any minor problems I have put their way. However, it was a bit manic with all the new cars in the pound! I bought a three-year Nissan service...

Re: Erroneous TPMS Tyre Fault Indication - RESOLVED

The low tyre pressure warning flashed for the first time yesterday. Slow puncture in the rear RHS tyre. Aagh! Fortunately, it could be repaired by the local National Tyres fitter. He assured me that the TPMS would reset itself on the drive home. It didn't. I used my own gauge and he had put 27 psi i...

Re: Headlight upgrade

Hound's advice for changing the original bulbs was spot on. I took my time ad it still only took 25 minutes. I had my first extended night-time drive back home from the NEC yesterday, on the motorway and on a variety of A and B roads. I can thoroughly recommend the replacement Osram Nightbreaker H11...
