Re: Clutch Pedal Springy

Its certainly not normal. The pedal should travel freely and smoothly down and on return upward. It needs an inspection around the pedal mechanism and its connection with the clutch master cylinder. Do they both operate freely?

Re: Car has stopped

If you suspect a faulty sensor and can prove it...change it. Ensure timing after component change is set correctly of course.

Re: Car has stopped

Its difficult to determine from the errors (DTCs) whether they sign post the original fault or are reporting the state of the engine after the fault occurred. I think they do both so whats the important one? P0340 is a true DTC in diagnostics and truly relates to a camshaft sensor error. That seems ...

Re: Do you think that upgrading to the E-power is worth it ?

Apart from the 140KW total output is the mere fact that somebody (EU is it...again) is seeking mandatory in built speed limiting. This piece of junk fits in beautifully...and as explained by JC not many will be flooring it much. Simply add the said speed limiter (say 50mph max) and all is inefficien...

Re: Has anyone changed their AC expansion valve?

Is this the kind of job that could be taken on by a competent DIY level home mechanic? Or is it more of a specialist job? I don't think its a DIY level job because you'll need to know the procedure to de-gas and store the refrigerant. Plus replacing the Expansion Valve, re-gassing to the correct hi...

Re: Cruise Control Disengaging

Cruise Control is technically known as ASCD. It is controlled by the ECU as pic below. Plenty can go wrong so it will need a visit to Nissan I'd say

Re: Newbie here - HELP PLEASE

One thing seems to be sure is that you have an ABS problem. Is that a tyre warning as well? The radar problem appears to relate to the ABS error in that braking cannot occur on forward obstacle detection. Body control faults will disable other systems that can operate the brakes...hence Chassis Cont...

Re: System Fault ( 3 systems)

There are approx 20 errors (DTCs) related to two of the faults reported. Forward Emergency Braking is difficult to diagnose since it uses a radar detector rather than front camera (as with LDW and TSR). However, they all could be related? Needs the DTCs to be examined..... :roll: FAIL-SAFE CONTROL B...
