jdog72 Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago 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)
Trevor Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago 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 1

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.
