Hi all. I have 3 week old 69 plate 1.5 dci qashqui and I can hear the fuel sloshing in the fuel tank when driving coming to a stop and turning corners at slow speed, the tank is full and the noise only appeared after the tank full. It’s really noticeable and I’ve even sat in the back whilst wife drove to pinpoint where it’s coming from it’s so obvious!

I’m taking the car back to dealers tomorrow as the headlining is creaking like mad also, I will be asking to take a tech out on a test drive this week so they can hear it for themselves.

Interested to know if anybody else has had this issue with the fuel slosh noise and what was the outcome? Thanks

I had a 66 plate j11 for 3 years until I traded it in and never had this issue either although that was a noisey bugger in other places!! If it’s not the fuel tank then water must be trapped after it’s been power washed the 3x Since I picked it up till now

It’s been to main dealer and the sloshing noise is the adblue tank that’s been fitted as mine is sept 2019 onwards they had to be fitted with one by law! Not ideal but I can live with it it’s a poor design and clearing a retro fit add on by Nissan to comply with law, on plus side the headlining rattle has been acknowledged the service manager sat in the car and heard it himself so it’s going in next week for 2days so they can sort
