Overview

Hello , it has been awhile since last posting a/c stoped chilling and garage found small leak and sorted. But fitter said that the main radiator fan was not coming on and could cause problems with high temp /pressure in a/c system.cannot find anything about checking fan motor. Not a lot of space to access it . Does the fan have a fuse?

Hello there, As a newb to the world of Nissan motoring, I wonder if someone can help? We have just taken delivery of a new 2025 X-Trail Accenta Premium e-power and have been driving it for a few days, and have been puzzling over how the front-parking sensor is supposed to work. Coming home at the end of a journey and driving up to our garage door the front door parking sensor fails to activate. Stopping the car, putting it into neutral and then drive again seems to activate the front sensor, and it starts pinging. Are we doing something wrong, something wrongly configured, or is this normal behaviour for the car? Thanks in advance for any replies :) Sok.

Is it possible to change headlights bulbs to LED?

Hi is there anybody out there who can tell me the location of the engine temperature sensor. Thank you in advance.

also worth checking the quality of the battery - a lot of cheap ones fail on the individual cells a quality battery can be determined by the weight of it and also the cost - not worth skimping on replacement batteries

Thank you Trevor for this guidance. I shall follow your advice and update you in due course. Fingers crossed 🤞 Wayne

Hi....welcome to the club Sometimes the alternator can go faulty and cause a large current drain as it is wired to the battery so quite possible this could the reason for discharging. I would find an old school independent garage who can use a multimeter and diagnose an excessive electrical current draw (pulling fuses until the current drain is found and thats where the problem will be) In the meantime you can lift the bonnet and look underneath for any earth cables from the battery to the chassis and the transmission that have corrosion on the terminals or have snapped (common fault on older XTrails

Hi, I am new to the forum. My friend has an X-Trail 2018 and the battery constantly rapidly drains. A full charge barely lasts a day. The problem has been investigated by his local Nissan dealership. - They checked the condition of the battery which is less than 6 months old. No problem. - They put the vehicle on the diagnostic tester. No fault codes. The dealership has drawn a blank on the problem. I would very much appreciate any advice on further investigations I can assist with in order to help my friend. He is a doctor in our local hospital and this problem is playing havoc with his morning routine traveling to work! Very many thanks in advance. Wayne

Thank you...just a thought, maybe on my next car.

You could possibly fit the components but without the switches and wiring being in place it would also need the components coding to the body control unit for it to work...maybe not worth it for the cost and uncertainty?

So...what was the fix then? 🤔

Hi All Just wondering...i has to replace my X-Trail 2016 1.6 dci Tekna because some burke pulled out in front of me. Car was totalled and insurance paid out and I was looking at the later 2017 face-lift model Teknas that have the heated steering wheel, not a luxury for me but a very nice to have. But my payout and lack of funds i couldn't stretch or just the extra £2.5k just to get a heated steering wheel and heated rear seats. So, was thinking/wondering if you could retro fit a heated steering wheel and electrics from a face-lift model to my 2016 car? Again, don't see it as a luxury item as do suffer from very cold hands in winter, my wife's little 2016 Mokka has one so a bit jealous! 🤣

Check all earth leads and connections under the bonnet and leading from the battery down to the chassis, engine and transmission

Hi All, I am a fan of modifying cars, often minor things but woth such a good base I am hoping to do more with this car than previous. I have already modified all bulbs to LED, double strutted the bonnet, replaced the head unit with an android kit with full SWC. I am already looking at electric tailgate conversion, aftermarket 360 camera, and want to try and add blind spot detection etc. I was wondering if the wiring for the likes of tailgate conversion, or 360 cameras is something that is often left in place on Acenta, or, if the models each have their own individual wiring looms? does anyone know as some cars I have had would have wiring looms from the highest models in place but deactivated on software level for example. Thanks James

Hi All, recently bought a T32 1.6 diesel, lovely car but found one problem with the rev counter gauge. Its almost like the car forgets where 0 revs is. for example, this is my cluster with the key out right now. sometimes I can drive along and the revs are about 2k less on the display, so anything under 2k revs shows 0 revs but then if I hit 3-4k then it shows up to 2k revs on the display. verified with OBD the revs are accurate but the display is not. about 2 in 10 journeys work fine no problems, the rest either under read or over read the revs.

Hi everyone, I had a flat battery situation and had to use a bit playing with the lock/unlock on the key to open my boot on Nissan X-Trial 2017, diesel, 7 seater. The boot locks but now it won't open using the boot button or the key or even the button on the dashboard. Any idea what the issue is here please? Thank you in advance.

Hi All, I just recently bought a T32 - 2015 1.6TDCi, with 89k on the clock - due to be collected on Tuesday, however, due to reasons of finance companies, available funds and disabilities, I went with a car that still looks awesome, but is a lower spec than I wanted (Acenta). I was wanting to upgrade this car to include some of the luxuries that are afforded the Tekna spec, such as 360 camera system, a suitable upgraded headunit, maybe even the blind spot functionality and Lane Assist? Really the big one for me would love to be the 360 camera, headunit may just move to android for flexibility but so far liked what I see in the Tekna if the head unit is any good? I do like the blind spot functionality and its not a showstopper if I can't get it, but it would be nice, Lane assist would again be nice, but not really as fussed. How easy is all this?

Hi everyone. New to all this. Can you help me please. I had to replace my front o/s wheel hub. The ABS sensor was completely rusted in. I am ordering a new sensor and cable but can't see where it goes under the wheel arch. Can anybody advise on how to replace /reconnect the cable at the car body end. Thanks in advance. Bob.

All sorted now .......good old youtube!

Hi All , Did a oil and filter change on T32 1.6dci on Friday now engine light is on and the fault code P253f which is 'engine oil deterioration ' obviously its got new oil so don't understand, cleared fault codes but light came back straight away ...

The O2 sensor 2 is usually located past the Catalytic Converter and measure the output (e.g. efficiency of the Cat) it may be either the sensor or possibly even something simple as an exhaust leak which can throw the sensor out of range

Does anyone know whether the seat squab on an Acenta Premium or Connecta (20 plate) should have an angle adjustment so that 'Hips above knees' (basic ergonomic requirement) can be achieved? My 20-plate car has no such capability - the driver's seat is rigidly bolted to the chassis, with no adjustment. The angle of the seat back can be adjusted and the height of the seat, but not the angle of the seat base (squab). Andycs
