Overview

It does sounds like a loose or worn belt but equally I have found so many of the new belts nowadays are more silicon based than rubber based compound. They slip for a past time until they get warm. Try to stick to genuine manufacture belt (avoid anything made in china) Check also the tensioner is okay and if worn then replace this at the same time

Hello, my partner drives a Micra DIGs. It has approximately 70k miles. Upon starting it there is a distinct belt or tensioner/pulley squeal.. it comes from the front end of the engine. It does go away fairly fast as soon as the revs go up. I know I should change the belt and see but I have two questions: 1) does anyone know the exact part code or any to the right type of belt? 2) is it doable for someone with basic knowledge/tools and space? I have changed drive belts/tensioners/plugs coils/filters oil etc in a c7 corvette and in a zl1 camaro on my driveway but those (being yanks) can be very easy cars to work on and didn’t require any big parts to come out. (Only fuse boxes/filters etc). thanks in advance guys

mostly timing chains are reliable if the correct servicing and maintenance is carried out when its specified and using quality oils and filters Please let us know how it goes !

Ok. I did buy some oil recently im just waiting on the filter and sump bolt to arrive from euro car parts. Ill try not to drive it as much until it arrives. thanks Also are these known issues with these cars? I dont really know much about them because I wasn't so interested in them at first.

I would advise changing the engine oil and filter as soon as possible. Having looked up your cars registration on Eurocarparts, it is listed as having a timing chain Try to locate a quality oil filter and get the best oil you can for the money - Castrol, etc

20250925_103247.mp4 Hello! I have recently bought a k12 micra for my first car. There are a few issues with it obviously being a 16 year old car but one sticks out more than the others. When I specifically start the car from cold there is a rattling noise coming from the drivers side of the engine. I was going to carry out an oil service myself because I dont know when it was last done and the oil doesn't look great. I mean that its mostly black but there is still a bit of a goldy brown colour. I understand cars make noises but its just been really playing on my mind because i could not afford to do a timing chain or a new engine if something were to go wrong. The reg number is Bv58 dkd if you need engine sizes/ codes etc Thanks! Johnny (I would have sent a longer video however there is a lomit of roughly 6mb)

Sounds like you have sorted it then - well done! You have done all the checks in the correct way and come to the right conclusion Only other thing maybe to recode the throttle body which was a thing on the slightly older Micra but may still apply A good scan tool should have this function on it

You could try using different protocol settings on the scanners (if available) to read the codes

Sorry that no one responded to your post. One of the reasons on the old Micra 4 cylinder engine for poor idle was carbon build up in the throttle body. When it is cleaned out and refitted, you would then have to perform a reset on it through a diagnostic scan tool which should sort it

Well after the influx of msg on here 😒 I bit the bullet and bought 3 new coil packs. Turns out the readings I gave above are correct and I didn’t need the 150 quids worth of coil packs.

Kind of resolved this now a bit. It still has a slightly rough idle in my opinion but it is a 3 cylinder so could just be the nature of the car?? any way I metered out the coil packs all seem to be the same and as I don’t know what they are supposed to be I’m going with they are ok? I also unplugged them one by one and the engine started to misfire as expected. I removed the throttle Body and gave it a good clean. It wasn’t too bad but there was a little bit of oil in there. I also unplugged the fuel solenoid purge valve and let it run for a second or so and plugged it back in. I also found that both battery terminals were very loose! So they got tightened up as well. Since doing this it seems to idle better. The only time the revs seem to hunt is when the ac is on now and the highest it goes is up to about a 1000 when the clutch kicks in which I’d kind of expect as there is extra load on the engine.

hi all does anybody know how to check fault codes on a 2017 nissan micra K13 x 1.2 litre petrol i have 2 scanners ( cheapies ) which reads my kia fine but this nissan cant connect to ECU

Hi does any one know what the resistance values across the coil pack should be? my 2017 micra is running a bit rough and hunts on idle but I can’t see or hear any air leaks. iv serviced the car including new iridium plugs and just put a full tank of premium fuel with red ex fuel cleaner init. I’m kinda running out of options on what this could be. Next step is to clean the throttle body but I’m thinking possible coil pack issue as well. im getting 79.4kohm between pins 1&3 and 0.47Kohm between pins 1&2 and 79.45kohm between pins 2&3 and that’s on all 3 coil packs as well ( slight differences between them) there is no EML light on the dash either and my scanners are not picking any fault codes up

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'm having problems removing my wheels, having taken out the 4 wheel bolts the wheel seems to be stuck to the hub of the wheel. Any help please.
