Re: 1.2 DIG-T - Oil loss

Update: My rattle has been diagnosed as the timing chain (was pretty confident of that already). Nissan have agreed to pay for the replacement, as I rather suspect they know the problem is theirs and want it to go away. I guess I'm going to need to be very vigilant with oil levels for the rest of t...

Re: Air Con Recharge Frequency Question

Hi, Took car to dealer today and they have told me that the condensor is doamged due to stone chip. They have quoted me £690 to fit new condensor and regas ?

Re: 1.2 DIG-T - Oil loss

One thing that may reassure, if its true... When mine was diagnosed with the problem and I was waiting for a replacement, I enquired if it was still safe to drive. I was told apart from the symptoms of the annoying noise, there was no actual risk to driving as long as the oil never went below the mi...

Re: Air Con Recharge Frequency Question

They should be periodically run to circulate the lubricant at least. Usually the A/C auto initiates on windscreen defog. No advisory exists in the handbook about weekly runs. Actually, it does...

Re: Air Con Recharge Frequency Question

Hi, I have spoken to the Nissan dealer and they have said the following. The only way to test the aircon system is to try and regas it, if it takes the gas they will charge me £150 if it fails then obviously it has a fault. They also said that we need to use the Aircon for at least 20 mins a week w...

Re: FIRMWARE VERSION

Is the bug fix the only new feature in D605? I have only had the issue once in 4 months now, if it was due to some dodgy signal being transmitted maybe it's not any more. Is anyone still getting the problem a lot?

Re: 1.2 DIG-T - Oil loss

There is a list of VIN numbers somewhere (maybe someone with a 1.2 will have the link) of all the cars affected. You can check the car's service book, presumably a new engine will be recorded. If I remember correctly the 1.6 diesel was only available as an automatic (a mate had one when I bought my...

Re: Radiator fan loud knocking

All replaced and good, done under extended warranty.
Really couldn't decide about taking out yet another years warranty for £390 back in March. Glad I did now...
