Having purchased my new 1.5 dci 115 Acentra Premium on December 31st I was delighted. However since then there’s been a few issues the car was only 20 days old approx 80 mile and although it’s been very noisy at idle since the beginning it’s now worse and when I switch the engine off it’s started with what I can only describe as a very loud panting noise. Plus there is decrepancies with the fuel, after purchase with 66 miles on click I filled it and it said 534 miles I’ve done only done 50 miles so 116 on clock but the gauge now says 316, rather confusing. Does anyone have any ideas as it’s going in today, I just don’t want to be fobbed off

Sweetpea, by asking on the Forum you will most likely get an answer or recommendation, but the QQ is New. I would get down to your Nissan Dealer (he has your money) and get all your questions and problems answered and corrected under your Guarantee, let them sort it ASAP - Dave :)

Seatpea, did the person at the garage pat you on the head, give you a biscuit and call you a good boy? :D

It's very common to be fobbed off with some drivel about "They all do that". He may be correct, but if you are still concerned, take it to another Nissan garage for a second opinion.
