Re: Long-term review - QQ J11 - Tekna - 1.6 DIG-T

@ duncho I was already aware of this solution ... even before I got my car :lol: . The value you bring to this community is highly appreciated, so I'd better keep an eye on what you post. So far my reflex of switching off the s/s system seems to be doing just fine, but as I get older ... I may start...

Re: Project: Reversing / Disabling Stop/Start feature

So, let me just drop my opinion on this, There is no denying about the extended pressure you put on your engine when start/stopping it 50 times per day. Jumping from one stage to the opposite in a fraction of a second will require appropriate condition from the engine, oil and many other players, an...

Re: Long-term review - QQ J11 - Tekna - 1.6 DIG-T

5500KM Lol, exactly 10 times the mileage I had on my first review :) The excitement for the new car has gone - as expected. However, the car slipped away in the background with grace, and I still drive it with pleasure. Even this evening, I took it along for a drive in the country side, just for pu...

Re: Qashqai J11 1.6 DiG-T whining noise

Hi creepBG I've been watching your video quite few times now. I'm not 100% sure about which noise you refer to, but overall its sounds ok to me and similar to mine. I do also believe its just the turbine winding down after you revved it - or at least this is how it sounds. I often drive with no musi...

Re: 2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.6 Petrol

Hi EMcMen, It all depends of what you expect from the car. There are a lot of positives and negatives, as discussed in this forum pretty extensive, but overall I believe its a good car. Considering that the J11 (2014 model) is at the end of its life (will be replaced soon) you may even get a good de...

Re: Sat Nav

The volume setting for the SatNav voice can be found within its settings. Hit the settings button on the console then go to SatNav settings (as far as I remember - don't have access to the car atm). I personally sit at the opposite side. The SatNav voice is too loud and while attempting to lower it ...

Re: Nissan Connect

A bit of comfort? Easier when you browse around with Google maps and mark several interesting locations that you may want or need to use. Beats having to write down a list of 20 different postcodes on a piece of paper along with what they are and then add them into the car's system.... ;) but maybe ...

Re: Nissan Connect

So, registered my VIN on the local Nissan connect website - all good an simple. However, I can't activate the additional apps in my car ... yet., and not sure I will even try more, as these apps seem completely useless for me - :? Anyway, I'm quite upset that "Send-to-car" function in Goog...

Re: Long-term review - QQ J11 - Tekna - 1.6 DIG-T

One of my observations as well was the fact that most of the issues that people have with this car are dealer/service-related. If it’s not the lack of support from the dealer, is surely the lack of professionalism of the mechanics … Nissan should really revise the conditions under which they mark th...

@ Bullyboy

Looking forward to see if you agree/disagree with my initial comments.

Personally I've opted for the heated windshield instead of the panoramic roof (as I could't afford both at that time) so can't comment on that.
