Re: Exhaust fumes coming into interior

Well, they've had the car for three days and still have no clue what's wrong with it. They're now copying software from another car to see if they can sort it. Meanwhile, the courtesy car they gave me looks like it's been driven through a rugby pitch and picked the team up as well as it is absolutel...

Re: Exhaust fumes coming into interior

Oh I believe it was the good old hand over the exhaust pipe lol

I've had it back for just over a week now and whilst the smell inside isn't as bad as it was, it's still there - and joy of joy, my fuel consumption has plummeted to a staggering 25 mpg.

It's going back in tomorrow.

Re: Exhaust fumes coming into interior

He said the software update should be done by tomorrow lunchtime and he'd run it again but it was just a case of trying it to see - but I am certainly not comfortable doing a huge road trip to try it. I've still got my hire car so it might be a case of arguing with them to keep that over the weekend...

Re: Exhaust fumes coming into interior

The techician phoned me today to tell me that yes, I am right, if the car is sitting idling, the interior is filling with fumes. It's only taken them 10 days to work that one out. They have no idea why, so contacted Nissan who said it "might" be something to do with the Adblue settings, so...

Re: Exhaust fumes coming into interior

Does a diesel engine put out enough CO to set off a detector? I did think of that but wasn't sure if it would set it off.

Exhaust fumes coming into interior

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place, so apologies if I'm not. My 4 month old diesel Qashqai is currently in the dealer. I've had problems since I got it brand new - at first, we kept thinking something was burning but put it down to a new car and maybe some kind of grease or lubrican...

Considering a new QQ

Is there still a 1.6 petrol engine? I thought they'd replaced it with the 1.2 turbo. I kinda guessed that it was a case of learning how to drive it - and yes, I'm bad for rolling starts from 2nd

Heated windscreen? Thank Gawd for that!! I was changing specs and cleaning them and wondering what was going on! Hahahahahahahaha Must go and look at the manual to see if it has that.I wanted to go back to diesel but the dealer said to me that I don't do enough mileage to warrant a diesel - 10,100 m...

Considering a new QQ

I've had the 1.2 petrol N-tech yesterday and today whilst my own car was in at the dealer and I must admit, I'm not sure.It's beautifully comfortable inside with loads of bells and whistles but there seems to be terrible lag when driving round town. On the open road, it's great.And is it my eyes or ...
