Hi all, I have a 1.5 DCI 115 2019 with a couple of weeks and I was wondering if a few situations I've noticed are common or not, or if they are a problem.

Situation number 1. When the car is worm, after using it for a few miles, if I stop the car and keep it working, it throws a "pic, pic" from second to second coming from the distribution zone. A video:



A friend of mine with a car like mine complains about the same. Another friend with a Micra tells me the same.

Situation number 2. When the car is cold, and it is idle, the RPM are unstable between 850 and 900 RPM more or less. When it warms up works like a charm, but when cold does the folloginw behavior:



Situation number 3. Two times the colision alert began to blink. The last one happened monday after passing on a road bump (not sure is the appropriate description), but passing really slow, the following light began blinking then a couple of minutes later it stoped. Also the unstable RPM since the car was cold:



Apart from that the car does a sort of spring feel when pressing or releasing the clutch pedal, but it is being discussed in another thread. The clutch pedal spring is lubed so not a clue. Tried my friend's car and not even close to this, his car's pedal is smooth.

So I'd like to share this with you guys to sort it out if yours have this behavior as well or not.

I have the fluctuations in the rev counter, but like yours it settles down once warmed up.

Hi thanks. Did you do report it to the dealer or will you do that? If so let me know, because to me they claim it's normal.

No, haven't reported it to the dealer, I think mine is down to not using the car enough, QQ hasn't moved off the drive in the last two weeks and has only covered 1700 miles since I bought it over 6 months ago.

Had some aparently reliable feedback on these questions:
#1: the "pic, pic" on video 1 is related to the ad blue pump (or something like that). Checked with other cars like mine and it checks, they also have it.
#2: instable when idle & cold: it is a known issue, will or has a software update for fixing this
#3: must be analyzed in dept

Will have some update on #2 and #3 one of these days, not sure when, but felt important to share.

Hi all, my J11 dec'2019 Qashqai had this "pic,pic" noise from new, noticeable when driving very slow (say under 5km/h). Now with over 3000km the noise is gone.
I believe it was from a rubber bush somewhere in the front suspension or steering.

Hi, thanks for sharing I see lots of peolpe complaining about that noise so this can be useful. The pic pic I mention is when car is warm and idle, it is due to ad blue they say, confirmed in two different Nissan Dealers. Both claim it is normal
