Massive BIK Increase on 1.6dCi Xtronic

Hello All, not posted for a good while. I was reviewing my PAYE earlier and as my heart was breaking i suddenly clocked how much Benefit In Kind (BIK) tax i was paying for my Qashqai Tekna 1.6dCi Xtronic. Way more than i was expecting. When i ordered the car the BIK percentage was 19%. Not terrible ...

rm0rgan - I think you hit the nail on the head there and backed up with some firm evidence. These cars are trying to cheat the system to get lower emissions and therefore be better value to customers. As a company car driver, tge co2 emission (along with list price) dictates how much additional tax ...

"but now the co2 emission is 128g/km as opposed to the 119g/km it was when I ordered it" This is appaling! As a company car driver, had this happened to me i would be paying a considerable amount more Benefit In Kind Tax. Not good at all... You say your car is the Auto/Xtronic - My bet is ...

USB Music Files - File Cataloguing Issues?

No. Thats really Strange man!
I do use USB alot and have a large library of songs on there. Yest despite the number of songs, i always seem to hear the same ones over and over like some part of the library is not included.

New QashQai's 2015/16

Hello Duncho. I never run ECO mode so i could rule that out though it could make things worse i'm sure. The accelerator pedal action is an interesting one. I have thought this myself. If you feather it, you will pull away generally smoothly but steadily. The trouble is that around town steady doesn'...

New QashQai's 2015/16

Its interesting to see more people converned about the lag when pulling away and particularly that the 1.6 CVT is notably worse or different to the 1.2 CVT. I first mentioned it on this forum months ago and was advised that it was normal and characteristic of CVT. i took that onboard have tried adap...

STICKY: CVT problems hunting

Don't just walk, RUN! And don't look back. In fairness my CVT having been replaced at 6k miles has not replicated the same hunting fault. That said the lag when i go to pull away sometimes is dangerous and has nearly killed me twice. It creap you forward into the rapidly closing gap in the traffic y...

Driver Attention Alert

This "feature" is a nonsense. Another one to add to the list things that don't work as advertised or expected. There has been a few times i think i should have had a warning from the system but nothing. Whenever i have had the warning it has always been at times where all has been well and...

Smart Key Problems

Evening all. I was just wondering if anyone has been experiencing problems opening or locking their car with the door handle button? Also starting the car? The last 2-3 days i've been intermitently unable to unlock the car doors with the door handle button. The key has been in my pocket as per usual...
