Thank you TerryH, you echo my sentiments completely
Nissan Tech Support also told the Dealer that Diesel Xtronics DO NOT have engine braking as it is ONLY fitted to Petrol Xtronics, although as I said in my last post, this is a side issue as I have a Petrol Xtronic and it is not working on my car
Fortunately the Dealer Principle has a Diesel Xtronic so he knows it DOES have engine braking and can not understand Nissan's insistence that diesels do not have it
On Thursday, the dealer Principle and Service Manager tested his car and mine on the same hill and confirmed that engine braking worked on his car (diesel) and not on my car (petrol) so they are referring it back to Nissan, hopefully with more success than a mere customer
Will post again if this ever gets resolved
Xtronic Petrol & Diesel
Hi Orlando
My handbook says it does too
Not impossible for it to be an error in the handbook ............
Can you confirm you have a petrol Xtronic and that engine braking is working on your car, ie going down a reasonably steep hill, does the Xtronic go to a lower ratio with a corresponding increase in rpm ?
If it does, this would be a valuable piece of info
I really need hard facts to present to Nissan
thanks

Somewhat off topic since mine's a manual but there's no engine braking at all on my 1.2DIG-T. I don't like it having had two Fabias previously - both manuals - which had it noticeably.

I’m not sure this is what you are referring to , I have a 1.2 n connecta 2017 with CVT auto box, if I set the speed limiter to 30 mph and I go down a slight hill the speed increases with no foot on accelerator, a beeping sound warns me of the fact, there is no engine braking, my previous Citroen C4auto would maintain 30 even down hill . Hope this is of interest

Confess I haven't paid attention, or haven't been down such a hill to notice. I will pay more attention. I might add I live in Norfolk but before you laugh, Noel Coward wasn't completely right.geepee wrote: ↑Mon Apr 09, 2018 11:09 am Hi Orlando
