Overview

Hi Iv just picked up a 2017 micra with the 0.9ltr engine in from Copart. It’s got a slightly rough idle, Iv just replaced the plugs and oil and filters on the car as I don’t know the history. It’s done 54k miles the evap system seem to be working ok. I don’t have a vacume pump to check properly but it’s not getting blow by out the dipstick or the filler cap. im a bit to remove the throttle body and clean it but after this I’m kinda stumped. Unfortunately my code reader is showing nothing on the system and there is no lights on the dash. Short of replacing all the coil packs I’m stuck. Any ideas?? on start up it also has a high idle as well seems to sit around 1500 and then drops off to around 800. I’d expect this on a cold morning for the cold start but it’s not been cold.

Thanks for that info Trevor.

Our 2018 Micra K14 does not have the Carplay unit fitted which is annoying my wife who is the main driver. Does anyone please know if there is a aftermarket Carplay unit that actually works that we can have fitted to this vehicle?

Hi, my mum has a 2005 Micra, she doesn’t want to sell it, ever. It has c40k mileage and drives like a dream! But, the tailgate switch has failed and I’m struggling to get a replacement - it’s the intelligent key version - part number 25380AX10B. Any ideas please?? There loads of the 25380AX60B but these aren’t compatible with the intelligent key. Thanks in anticipation!

I recently got a 2019 Tekna which I'm finding is very "jittery" at low speeds, particularly when cold. Anyone else finding the sane?

I want to tune a 2020 Micra K14 with a HR10DET engine pls give me any suggestions

If it were me I would go over everything I have touched and ensure it is not damaged (as much as you can determine) and that there is nothing interfering with the component or wiring coming from it. This has worked many times for me when I have been in a rush and not noticed something simple

I have a K12 which I bought a few months back. I didnt realise at the time but the air-con does not work! Initially there was no revs increase or fan activation along with no click from the compressor. So the first thing I did was to recharge the system. This fixed the revs increase and fan activation but not the compressor clutch issue. Eventually I ended up at the IDPM and looking at the 10a fuse there which is in tact. I did wonder about the empty relay slot and thought I would move one of the other (fan 1 / 3) relays into the slot to see if that made any difference. It was a struggle to get the relay out so I moved down to the bottom - Relay 9 and tried levering that out with a screw-driver. Of course the screwdriver pierced the casing and I ended up destroying that relay. This left me with a car that turned over but wouldn't start! As I needed the car and had no other relays I could use, I decided to jump the relay as a temporary fix. This worked although has left me with some odd behaviour. Now when the ignition goes off and even with the key removed, the sidelights, rear lights and number plate light come on for around 5-10 minutes before going out. The replacement relay arrived yesterday and I fitted that, it threw a U1001 code and wouldn't start, I cleared the code and tried again but still no joy and the code returned. It did, however fix the odd behaviours I mentioned above! I removed the relay and, again, jumped it so I could drive but the odd behaviour has of course returned although, I am now able to clear the U1001 code permanently. I have a new (second-hand) IPDM on the way and I plan on either using it as a donor to repair the damage I have done and possibly replace the A/C relay inside OR just try to swap the eproms over. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I may have damaged? Ive checked all fuses other than the fusible links and the four coming off the battery terminals. I'll get to those once the new unit arrives. Also, is there any risk of damage running the car as it is now? Any ideas or help would be very gratefully received!

Hi enzso ....welcome to the club There is a reset procedure for the CVT transmission which may benefit you. CM (Transmission Control Module) reset by cycling the ignition and pressing the accelerator pedal, or disconnecting the battery. https://www.google.com/search?q=nissan+k13+automatic+gearbox+reset&rlz=1C5MACD_en&oq=nissan+k13+automatic+gearbox+reset&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigAdIBCTE0NzQ0ajBqN6gCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 There are also videos on how to reset the transmission in this search link (above)

Just bought a K13 Micra auto with 80k on the odo. The gearbox is smooth and shifts well but I've noticed when it shifts from 3rd to 4th at around 40mph I get that familiar rumble when the revs are too low for the gear. The noise stays until I'm up around 45-50mph. It makes it tricky in 40mph zones as I'm having to use the overdrive switch to shift the car back to 3rd. Any tips?

Many thanks for this. Really helpful reply. Greg

As long as the rolling diameter (overall diameter of the wheels / tyres) is the same all round then it shouldn't flag an ABS issue. You are able to have matched wheels on each axle and again they would need to be the same diameter as the others but do not need to be the same width

Hi there I have two Nissan Micra’s. One registered in 2017 has alloy wheels with tires 185/55 R16. The other car, registered in 2006 has steel wheels with tires 175/65 R15 T. My question is, can I fit all four steel wheels onto the later car or can I put two steel wheels on the same axle of the later car? Any advice would be much appreciated. Greg

Hi all, I’m trying to replace the alternator on my 2017 Nissan Micra K14 Visia 1.0L (71PS – HR10DE engine), but I’ve hit a wall trying to get the belt off. I’ve located the tensioner pulley (the black one just above the alternator), but the centre is smooth — no bolt head or nut — and I can’t for the life of me find where to apply a tool to release the belt tension. I am no mechanic either .... wheels and fluids is usually my limit! I’ve checked above, behind, and around the tensioner pulley but can’t see a square hole or hex boss to rotate the tensioner arm. The engine bay is tight, and I’m not sure if I’m missing something obvious or if access is just that hidden. I’ve tried to follow online guides and videos, but most are for different engines or older models (K12/K13). Photos attached if that helps (can add more if needed). Any help — diagrams, tips, tooling advice — would be massively appreciated before I lose the will to live or call a mechanic 😅 Thanks in advance!

Hello, I’ve just joined and thank you. I’m from Aberdeenshire in the UK. I am getting a 2019 41k miles diesel Micra soon, the dealer says they will change the cambelt and give it a 6 year service. Does anybody know what should be getting done for that service? thank you Neil

Recently bought a Micra K12 for my daughter to learn to drive, With any car I have bought I always give the car a full service replacing all fluids, Plugs, Belts etc. I normally will use OE parts and fluids. I was originally quoted £51 for 3lts of gearbox oil (Nissan MT-XZ Gearbox 75W-80 KE91699935) but when stock had arrived was told it was a mistake and it was £105 (KE91699071) (£105 seems way too much for 3ltrs of oil) I was looking at GSF, Eurocarparts and Halfords. Getting a lot of conflicting recommended oils (75w80 or 75w85 Gl-4 I think is the recommended oil, no mention of synthetic or mineral) Comma's and GSF recommends - EP75W80 Plus (Mineral) Halfords recommends - Comma Gear Oil SX75w/90 GL-4 (Part Synthetic) Wrong Grade? I noticed Comma Fully Synthetic MVMTF 75W80 Plus GL-4 lists under compatibiliy suitable for Nissan MT-XZ, Nissan MT-XZ TL (JR Type) but no website lists it as compatible. Can anyone confirm which ones would be suitable or could recommend another brand? Many thanks in advance

Hi all! 👋🏻 I'm currently having a massive issues with my micra k13 2013 acenta. The internal heater blower only lets through a teeny tiny amount of air. So far we have tried: Checking fuses and relays all are working - still the same Replaced pollen filter - still the same Replacing resistor with 2 other ones - still the same Replacing the heater blower fan by taking the whole front dash out (not fun!) - still the same When standing outside the car and the fans are switched to an on position you can hear the noise like the fans are on inside the cab but still a teeny tiny amount of air is coming through. What else could it be as we are at our wits end. Any suggestions are welcome please 🙏 😊 Thank you for taking the time to read this, it is very much appreciated

I would say that is an air conditioning system sensor - possibly system pressure sensor?

Hi, I’ve replaced the horn in my 2005 Urbis and managed to accidentally break the wire next to it that goes into the radiator. Can anyone kindly confirm what it is and what it does so I can get a new part?
