Re: 1.2 DIG-T - Oil loss

Evening all,
We now have a 2015 1.2 with 45k and the engine seems to have a rattle in all gears from about 2k onwards.
The car is using no oil at the moment but starting to get concerned about the noise.
It still has 8 months Nissan warranty remaining so think I will call them regarding the noise.

We have had a few issues sorted under warranty, main one was a leaking condenser causing ac not to work! The other issue is when the car has been on a good run the revs often stick at 1200-1500 rpm wh...
