Hello,
It appears that my QQ makes a strange noise when accelerating around 2k. Its like a flapping noise.
It only happens around between 2k-2.5k when the engine is cold. It doesnt happen when stationary.
Its not a usual turbo whistling noise its rather someing flapping. Most noticable on the second gear.
I've checked forum's old posts but couldnt find anything similar.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Noise when accelerating 1.2 - not whistling

Hello. I think I'm having this same issue (I describe in detail in this post viewtopic.php?f=32&t=7202&p=60671#p60671). May I ask, am I understanding correctly that you confirmed the cause to be the timing chain hitting the tensioner surround? And you got that fixed? Did nissan repair it under the warranty? TIA
Yeah, the whole engine was replaced under warranty!CrashQai wrote: ↑Sat Nov 10, 2018 6:43 pmHello.

So I took mine in yesterday, and they want to replace my engine too. 25%+ difference between the pressure in the cylinders apparently. Just need to wait for the engine to be ordered in (a week or two they reckon). I take it yours was fine with the new engine?
No problems so far, it was done in June so has had a good run in since. It's a lot quieter - so much so you can't hear the engine when you accelerate, just a hiss - which they assure me is just the noise the new turbos make.CrashQai wrote: ↑Thu Nov 15, 2018 1:54 pmSo I took mine in yesterday, and they want to replace my engine too. 25%+ difference between the pressure in the cylinders apparently.

I think I'm getting 25% better MPG too. Should probably complain that running on 3 cylinders meant I spent a lot more on fuel for 18 months than I should have, and try and get compensation.

Thanks for the info. That's good to know. I'd seen some suggestions that I shouldn't expect much power in low gears on the 1.2 anyway, so was never entirely sure if what I was experience power-wise was normal or not.chrisw99 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 15, 2018 3:36 pm
