Overview

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?

okay, best bet really.....let us know how you get on with it

Thank for this, but not confident enough to try myself, ill try and find a garage

I would have a go yourself - switch ignition off and leave for half hour. (be careful as this is pyrotechnics and therefore explosive charge) Disconnect the electrical connectors under each seat, twist the wire one turn (so it has a slight bias on the connection when refitting) and reconnect. That may well solve the issue but because it is intermittent then it may not bring the light on straight away.

Thanks, I would have thought this is something the nissan dealers would look at

Here's a problem to bake your noodle. 1995 k11 Micra, not been driven for a month, 4 new problems have appeared, all lights. 1) left headlight not working. 2) left indicator telltale light not working, either in telltale or hazard mode, external lights all working and relay clicking. 3) handbrake warning light not working. 4) reversing light not working. I'm going to do all the usual checks, starting with the external bulbs, but these systems can't have anything in common, can they?

I would advise someone look at the connections under both front seats for the SRS seatbelt pretensioners as they usually flag up a fault if the connection is poor

Hi, My mum has a 2006 1.4 Micra SVE that has a fault with the seat belt in that the dash light comes on intermittently. We’ve been advised by the dealer that the fault is with the buckle(driver side) but the parts are no longer available so i would have to try and track one down which i did on ebay but after 3 trys they were all faulty, i found another through a breakers but Nissan mechanical said its the wrong one, even though it fitted and has not gone off yet. Can anyone offer any advise on how to fix this or maybe where i can find the correct part, thanks.

Thank you

I would start by checking the electrical connection into the motor and if it spins up when you turn everything on the there's the problem

Any idea what it could be though?

I would start by removing the glovebox to see how much access you gain, if not much then continue to remove more dashboard components

After some help. My air blower is intermittent, some tomes it works sometimes it doesn't. Fuse has been checked, not sure if a new fan is required? Do you get to it by taking the glovebox out rather than the whole dashboard?

Hi. (This site isn’t allowing me to select the Micra Forum). Just acquired (legally) a 2013 K13 Micra, which came without parking sensors. Online options are so numerous, what a minefield! Any advice out there? Anything gratefully received.

UPDATE Can anyone tell me if this photo shows that the engine management light bulb is actually missing? If so can this be replaced or do I need a whole new unit? Thanks
