Re: 1.2 Dig-T N-Connecta CVT gears behaving strangely

I have a 2017 1.2 with a CVT gearbox and it does the same to some extent. For example if I am coming up to a roundabout and slow down and then try and accelerate while still moving there is only sometimes a slight delay in it finding the correct gear and you can feel the change of gear and then acce...

Re: Hesitation at Junctions

Could be "turbo lag", a delay before the turbo comes in. I had this on my previous QQ. The car started to move away slowly and then all of a sudden the turbo came in and then accelerated quickly. I now have a 1.2 with CVT gearbox and this one is much better. If you put Turbo Lag into the s...

Re: Bleep. Ding etc Explaine. Please guys

Hello DEN123. The alarm that sounds the most while I am driving is when I cross a white line without indicating. This activates when I think is over 35 MPH. There should be a flashing light when it alarms, of a car with a dotted line each side of the car, it can be disabled. This must be for driving...

Re: How To Sell A Qashqai??

Last October I sold my 2014 1.2 acenta premium manual to Evans Halshaw. We Buy Any Car first quote was £10,700 and dropped down to £10,300 in 7 days. Got £11,200 from Evans Halshaw. No argument, he looked around the car checked the mileage and tyres and for £15 the money was in my account the same d...

Re: Hello to all, advise on which one to buy!

This is the second QQ that I have had. I was undecided about petrol or diesel as I only do about 6 to 7000 miles a year. I bought new and at the time the diesel engine car was about £1750 more than the petrol and at the time diesel was up to 6p dearer at the pump than petrol so I went for the petrol...

Re: 2018 - 1.2 petrol - mpg - does it get better once engine has ran in ?

I had a 2014 1.2 petrol manual acenta premium. I had it from new and it had done 22,000 miles of mixed driving but I would say more short runs and when I sold it last October it had averaged 43.2 MPG. I now have a new 1.2 Tekna but Automatic and it has done 2000 miles since October and I've averaged...

Re: Quashqai

I had a 14 reg 1.2 petrol with manual gearbox. No problem with the engine but had to have the battery replaced, new strut rubbers and new parts on the air con. I had a delay with getting the air con sorted but that was because they has so many with the same problem that it took them months to get ro...

Re: 2018 Model - Are the floor mats same as a non facelift car ? (ie a 2016 model)

Yes they are the same. had a 14 reg QQ which did not come with floor mats. At the time there was an offer on for mats, boot floor liner and mud flaps so I bought those. I sold the 14 reg last October and got new style QQ. The mats, liner and mud flaps all fit the new model and then the new car came ...
