Overview

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

Hi. Just reg’d on here. My aunt just bought from a dealer, a 2013 ‘30th Ed’ 1.2 Micra - manual drive (which I’ve just discovered from online world is a K13, though the paperwork doesn’t state this. I drive this myself. When viewing, I asked the dealer what the thin plastic tape wrapped around a rubber pipe (possibly a manifold pipe? - sits just behind the rad’ fan and attaches somewhere under the battery plate…?) is about. He felt it and stated there’s a crack/split in the pipe and that they’d have it replaced. Before collection, by phone, the dealer advised that it wasn’t a split pipe and so doesn’t need replacing. Typhoon, I forgot what his colleague told us about it when we got there, though the gist of it was that it’s normal/standard. What they had done is replaced the thin ad-hoc looking tape with black plastic (insulation ?) tape. Any thoughts on this (tricky w/o a photo I know; can attach one tomorrow). Any K13 owners/drivers out there who recognise this? Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know why, when I disconnect and reconnect the battery my hardtop opens and closes perfectly, but, when I come to open it next day it won't open until I disconnect and reconnect the battery again

Hi I posted on here about an emissions failure earlier. I have just taken my car back for a retest and the emissions are now fine. However it still hasn’t passed the test because it turns out that the engine management light never illuminates even on start up. The tester says it should have been showing up when I had a fault on the emissions. Anyone have any ideas how to trace the problem/fault to rectify this? Thanks

Hi again. I took the car for a retest today after having changed spark plugs and oil and adding additive. Emissions are now fine, however, it brought up a previous fault code P03033 which was still on the system although the engine check light was not lit. It turns out that the engine check light never comes on. The centre will not pass the car until I get this sorted. Any advice please?
