    bad egg smell

    in Topics

    Posted

    Welcome to the Forum

    It sounds like a Catalytic Converter emitting the smell of sulphur but why only in reverse?

    Unless you are covering ground where the smell is being emitted (e.g. from the exhaust which you wouldn't smell if you are travelling forwards) ?

    I would say that if the condition of the car is very good and the service history is complete and by reputable repairers then it sound okay.

    Again, the above is applicable to the mileage and also consider how the mileage has been generated (e.g. town or motorway).

    Let us know how it goes

    Nissan x trail cutting out problem

    Hi Scooter...welcome to the Forum

    I could recommend changing the fuel filter but make sure you replace it with a quality one (OE or similar).

    Make sure all the air is out of the filter head by priming it and releasing any air that's trapped it in.

    If all else fails then change the filter head.....worked a treat for mine.

    Let us know how you get on with it.

    Nissan Primera Indicator fault

    in New Members Introductions

    Hi....welcome to the Forum

    Sounds like it could be an earth issue or the wrong indicator bulb fitted which is causing it to backfeed into the sidelight

    You could prove this by swapping the indicator bulb over to the other side and if the fault appears over there then you have the wrong bulb fitted

    Let us know how you get on with it

    Parking Aid fault

    It is a very faint clicking noise you should hear but I doubt all the sensors are faulty.

    If it bleeps when you put it in reverse then the system is working to a degree (e.g. it is activating and the reverse switch is working) so if the sensors are okay then it must be a faulty module.

    Worth checking the reverse light bulb is working while you're carrying out checks

    I would assume the third party warranty should pay up to an amount so I assume you pay up front and claim it back and if the bill is over the amount you pay the extra?

    If this is the case then you could take it to Nissan but expect to pay some on top to cover the bill.

    It sounds as though it could be a door lock solenoid being faulty but not to exclude the wiring that runs into the door from the pillar.

    You should switch the ignition on (engine off) and put into reverse gear.

    Listen closely to each sensor and if they are working then they should emit a clicking sound.

    If not, then replace the sensor

    2016 Micra manual box failure

    Hi...and welcome to the Forum

    My first thoughts are as it seems to be temperature related, is the oil being used in the gearbox is of the wrong grade or at the very least a lighter grade oil could be used to facilitate easier gear shifts. 

    Used to have this years ago with certain boxes and a quick swap out to a lighter weight of oil usually solved it. The synchromesh mechanism requires oil to be present but not too 'thick' as this could have the effect of dragging the baulk rings and making changing more difficult, especially when the oil is cold.

    Ask them to change the oil to a lighter grade to see if that makes the difference.

    Let us know how you get on with it all.

    X Trail limp mode

    in New Members Introductions

    Posted

    HI...welcome to the Forum

    I found with my X-Trail that it was the accelerator pedal connections that were the main cause for the limp home situation.

    Usually, just fiddle with the wires that connect to the pedal and switch off ignition and switch back on to start engine to see if it has solved it.

    If so, a more permanent fix is required where the pedal needs to be dialled in with a multi-meter to within a certain voltage range after the sensor has been cleaned up internally. A competent auto electrician could easily carry this work out.

    The injector pump solenoids mainly affected the earlier engines as far as I could determine.
