mycarforum: Nissan QashQai 2014 Part 2 part 11

Hi Guys,

Collected my QQ 2.0 31st May.

Going for my 1k servicing this coming Friday. First time owning a brand new car so hoping if that you guys may point me in the right direction.

1) Anything to take note/check on 1k Servicing?
2) Every time i go up humps(regardless the speed) gives the squeaky sound. Is this normal?

Thanks!
Daryl

1K in 10 days! You must have travelled to Thailand and returned. Cheers!

Tell SC your problem. I went 1K servicing on Monday. Booked 1st slot 8am and told them I would wait there. Complete in about 2 hours. I think waiting time reasonable.

I got my coe too.. TC didn't disappoint us with a last minute $7k revised bid.
Did you do a trade in?

Trade-in become a double deals. Almost certain to get COE.

I got mine a month. Once u get Coe TC must register the car within 30days with LTA

Sorry, may I know where you got the information�' must register within 30 days with LTA '

I got mine a month. Once u get Coe TC must register the car within 30days with LTA

I thought COE successful bid can hold for 6 months?

Sorry, may I know where you got the information ' must register within 30 days with LTA '

I read it on the TC sales agreement......

just got my COE today on my first bid :) QQ coming my way!!

I read it on the TC sales agreement......

hmm I thot there is 6 months to register... My agreement states that the delivery dates is an estimate only...

My agreement also states that the delivery date is�an estimate only. �

I got my COE today too and looking forward to collect my QQ soon!
TC said I might get my QQ by end Jun - can someone share how long after COE bidding did your QQ get delivered? TIA!

Did you booked recently? With the additional 1k top up?

My agreement also states that the delivery date is an estimate only.

ADs will not commit a firm date lest it becomes a liability and can be sued for any breach. Once car arrived, you will be asked for payment one week before delivery. Holding the car in warehouse is a cost to them.

Anyone who installed racechip ultimate, any issues so far? Am getting my car soon!

I did on my 1.2T. So far no issue, satisfied with the performance.

Will the warranty be voided if u install racechip ultimate?

Nope...I waited almost 2 mths. SE had informed me about the lead time prior to my purchase previously.

Log in to onemotoring with ur singpass and u shld see ur temporary coe validity. Can't remember the validity but maybe abt 3 mths or more.

Just check that ur complains are taken care of. Is the sound from suspension? They may put some grease or reoil for u.
There is also complimentary car wash and vacuum but if u prefer to wash urself then let them know.

Did you booked recently? With the additional 1k top up?

�

yup I did book recently... on the latest list price I didn't make any top up.
i still did get the trade-in discount even though I didn't trade in my previous car with them.

got it at first bid.

�

Any good paint shop for panel repairs to recommend in the East?

Autolution at TC Ubi can do it

I got my COE today too and looking forward to collect my QQ soon!
TC said I might get my QQ by end Jun - can someone share how long after COE bidding did your QQ get delivered? TIA!

About a week :P

Went for my 1K service. The SA doesn't believe the child lock will auto disengage; said will do detail check during my 5K service.

�

Hope all the bro and sis who encountered the child lock disengage issue will report to TC when you do your servicing. Think they'll only do something when more people are complaining this issue.�

�

From 1 K to 5 K, will be at least 2 months later.

Why wait, if there's an issue ?

I did on my 1.2T. So far no issue, satisfied with the performance.

�

Hi Roy,

�

Tried ultimated ride of several bros, totally different and can be a beast !

�

Enjoy ......

Cheers,

Richard

From 1 K to 5 K, will be at least 2 months later.
Why wait, if there's an issue ?

1K + 5K = servicing at 6K will be even longer

Will the warranty be voided if u install racechip ultimate?

�

Hi Mark,

�

Racechip Ultimate, RS Chip etc. piggyback just like customised tune of ECU certainly void warranty ..... please remove before service to avoid complication.

�

Ethrottle gadgets like Racechip Response, Pivot 3, FreePower etc. on the other hand do not increase torque and power but imho help to bring forth 1.2L turbo to spool max sooner with increased sensitivity to have faster pick up ........ not known to void warranty and TC is fully aware of 100+ of bros without major concern raised.

Cheers.

new 2.0 owner as well.

1) should be a quick one.

2) No squeaks from brakes which are very jiak.

�

Can you check if your ride register the following? The ESP physical button (located at right knee level) will sometimes light up halfway during a trip. The corresponding light at dashboard remains off. I am not sure what to make out of this lit button. Will check it out at 1k servicing. If you do encounter the same, you might want to highlight too.

I got mine a month. Once u get Coe TC must register the car within 30days with LTA

no need. my car was registered after >30 days.

How come so many of you get COE in first bid. I got outbid. I pressumed we signed the same deal at TC for 6 bids guarantee.

Hi Han,

�

Your TC's Sales rep's standing in management and how hard he pushes or how much cars he already booked ??

�

Unfortunately, you can only question your TC's Sales rep and hence best if you know insider in AD like Sales manager instead� [;)]

�

Cheers.

Richard

Don't waste time doing it separately.

You need to do it together, and direct to the GM.

�

I have passed the GM's email address to of of the brothers via PM earlier today. �This is a genuine and valid concern. �TC should be happy that you guys are bringing this up,

�

Yes,

�

I got the COE!

1st round! and at 7K more than the last round! �and still got it!

Amazing! �quite unbelievable, really!

�

Did you do a trade-in? I believe if a trade-in happens, they will push harder for your COE since your existing car is depreciating as days / bids goes by.

�

not sure if SE helps but I choose to still believe I got a good SE who has been helpful in my COE and other car matters.

New QQ price :

1.2T 119.3k

2.0 130.3k

Crazy, it was 106,988 and 117,988 previously

So what car you got ???

Super busy lately ....
Missing out all the action

was your colour choice an ex stock?

�

No, i booked a bronze 2.0L. I can wait as I still have my current ride and that the package is a 6 bid guaranteed. Just curious as I thought that they will try to bid around the same amount. �

Tucson SR option - 2.0

today I got an a message from Honda - interest rate 2.18% only.

�

�

Yes price of the trade-in is firmed and agreed before downpayment is made.

�

Surprised you did not get COE then. My logic is if you do a trade-in, there is no reason or little advantage for them to max out the 6 bids.

However if you do not do trade-in, they will go in low for all bids and confirm only when it is the right time. Best of all TC has on-hand COEs to spare for you.

Billy, please advise which date you booked your QQ?

Crazy, it was 106,988 and 117,988 previously

�

These new prices are all guaranteed COE?

TC must have a lot of orders on hand so they not worried about turning away new buyers...

�

As for me, I'm just glad that I got my 1.2T at 100k [laugh] �

The less QQ buyers the better for current owners, as easier to book servicing appointments [wave] � [:p] ��

�

Look at it this way, guaranteed COE means you sure get car eventually. And the longer you drive your old car the more money you save since the depreciation for the old car is less than the new QQ, albeit its only savings of a few hundred dollars on paper per month. But still save� [thumbsup]

All is good :)

How can we deliver the message to the GM?

Just a saying of my theory only. Not sure if I am right but someone just confirm my theory.

I booked in on 29 May.

must be something i dont understand. i always thought that TC outsource the purchase of trade in car to other dealers (hua yang) and that i believe HY would have quoted based on your deal with the SE. for example. 6 bids would mean they would quote based on potential sale price 3 months later.

while i was advised by the SE that the SE do get some commission from it and i am pretty sure TC does get a commission off it, to bid higher just because one has a trade in car would only benefit HY as they can get the trade in car earlier and try to mark up the price. of course that would work out if TC has a share off HY, which i am not sure. that particular model would be similar to C&C with republic auto.

i would reckon that the "priority" system for COE bidding would be based on purchase price and whether there is ex stock available.

just my thoughts.

New QQ price :

�

1.2T 119.3k

2.0 130.3k

�

this 1.2l price is higher than the 2.0l price in Mar. wow. lucky i didn't wait. if not, :TT_TT: .

�

using their price list as a guage, is tan chong estimating that coe will +$12k from the Mar CO for Jun 2nd bidding?

I got my COE on 1st bidding. Waited 3 months for car to arrive and l have no trade in. I deregristered myself.

Same. I deregistered my car myself this week so no trade in but managed to get my COE - mine was 2 bid guarantee though.
I do not know anyone from TC - just met the Sales guy and placed my deposit.

I guess with the affiliation, HY will push TC to get COE for those doing trade in. Imaging you trade in a BMW with only 1 month left and HY agreed to take in. Can't be TC maximise the 6 bids. By then, this BMW is a scrapped car with no value. Therefore I feel trade in of older cars play a part.

Also depending on SE. My car left with 1.5 year.

you could be right.

then again. i will be surprised if they take in the bmw with 1 month left at any value other than scrap value plus body.

Haha.. I thought it isn't possible too but I have a friend who did that. BMW 5 series, left 1 month and HY took in at $22k. I saw from sgcarmart that there is value (even higher) for such old cars. Quite amaze but I guess it could be sold as COE car with some overhaul.

possibly for export purposes. oh well. i booked a qq on sunday and secured the COE yesterday. 1.2T at 104,988. and my reserve price is 55,600 for COE. amazing buffer they have. then again, assuming the OMV is 19k. throw in the ARF, GST, custom tax, road tax, license plate etc. the profit is not too bad.

the SE did inform me also that TC will do staggered bidding to prevent the surge in COE.

anyway. just did some quick clicking.

http://www.onemotori...cel/OMV2009(web).xls

as far as i can find. the omv of a bmw 5 series i about 46k. scrap value should be 23k.

taking in at 22k(scrap value) could be very possible depending on the OMV.

Agree. That was why I commented on my friend they the trade in value isn't worth it. Guess my friend didn't think too much and wanted the trade in discount.

BMW of such still has value in the market.

TC revised my bid on the 11th minute. Similar value as you. I guess only big players can do that. You are right also that they want to prevent surge if not only rich gets the car and a lot leftover coe

Yes did. But makes no different maybe just unlucky..

dont sweat on it. who knows. maybe your colour choice has no stock. if the COE shoots up again, which probably it would, seeing that 50% of bids wasnt successful and you get the COE. you could be luckier than those who got it this round.

I am getting my QQ, just got it confirmed during the last bidding.

am considering to install interior LED lights, do these void warranty?

any bros can advise, thanks!�

nissan is crazy. COE up 5-6k, they up all car price 9 - 10k...�

Can i check anyone change the default DVR camera that Tan Chong gave. i realise the quality is crap esp in low light and night conditions. Appreciate it if anyone can share contacts and whether there is a need to do rewiring or just make use of the existing wiring from the old DVR car cam. Thanks.�

Maybe next round they expect upwards movement? Kah motor also.

To reflect the reality which give indication of higher COEs ahead.

Hi Kxbc,

Didn't know there was a ESP physical button until ur post.. kept looking at it pass 2 days no light up.

�

went for serving today, told them about the squeaks, they took e car from 10am-5pm, but am happy that the squeaks are gone.

Hello Mr low life :)

Thanks for show concern :)?

Hi CLW37

�

Bro, not sure what brand DVR u got but when I bought my QQ in Jan 2015 I was given the Dabonda Legend (front only)...which was really hopeless and the blinking light kept flashing at a frantic pace until I'm not even sure if the camera is recording or it's just too hot and about to explode.

�

Got mine changed to Thinkware F750, a bit expensive but very happy with it's performance for last 9 months or so...excellent full HD recordings (and I now record both front and back). It comes with an easy to use app so you don't need to take out the SD card and look for a laptop to download video clips.

�

You can Google for it and I think there are a few places to get it installed.� They will have to remove your current DVR and re-do the wiring (which was total crap when the guy opened up the panel and showed me how "solid" TC did in terms of the wiring for my Dabonda Legend...haha)

�

Bro, DVR must get good one coz nowadays got lots of crazy drivers out there and we never know when we need our camera to record down "stunts" by them. Just last week, there was an idiot in a Honda Stream who was roadhogging on CTE at 70kmh on lane 1. When I signaled him to move left and eventually overtook him from the left, he was not happy and started tailgating me and then overtook me and started braking.� I finally drove to his left, signaled to him that my DVR has recorded all these...he looked stunned and quickly drove off....haha

�

Anyway, good luck in your search for a good DVR.

�

Cheers

I have racechip response. Went servicing at BT, the advisor (he is a manager) saw it and said "wah you all install, does it make the car go faster"?�

�

True bro... I installed ethrottle and TC BT say it will have better response and smoothen the ride....

that's event recording, it will auto-on, then back to normal recording.

Hi, I just got my 1.2 QQ last week. How can I tell whether the chassis control is working. I tick both trace control & engine brake in the setting, then switch to chassis control in the display, but didn't see any indication that it is functioning or taking actions? Anyone can enlighten me ? Or it has to be on only some conditions that this will activate?

this 1.2l price is higher than the 2.0l price in Mar. wow. lucky i didn't wait. if not, .

using their price list as a guage, is tan chong estimating that coe will +$12k from the Mar CO for Jun 2nd bidding?

Looks like I had a good buy. My QQ 1.2 cost me $112K but I got COE at $59+K.

nissan is crazy. COE up 5-6k, they up all car price 9 - 10k...

Bro you don't say, I purchased my xtrail when it was at 55k Coe for $126k now Coe 56k difference by 1k$ and the car price now it's $136k

Can i check anyone change the default DVR camera that Tan Chong gave. i realise the quality is crap esp in low light and night conditions. Appreciate it if anyone can share contacts and whether there is a need to do rewiring or just make use of the existing wiring from the old DVR car cam. Thanks.

Yeah go n change, I would suggest sticking to either blackvue or iroad branding as this are known Brand�s with high quality recording..usually when you purchase they will do installation too

Do you guys pump 95 or 98 mainly?

Btw, could someone kind enough to point me to the taobao page for the styling side plates and front lip?

Thank u very much! Cheers!

Your paper value up at least $5K now

My ride only one month using 98 now. Previous ride used 95 many years occasionally used 98 could feel engine running smoother. FC improved but did not measure. Later will try 95 to see how. 95 and 98 cost difference about 20% a burden in pocket cos mostly urban driving.

�

last time i said 98 got increase torque and etc, people shunned me saying its placebo effect haha..

mine cost like 600+ during the christmas promotion last year..and it was the blackvue 650 2way..as for reusing the cables, usually if u do at workshop they'll make everything done neatly.

http://www.blackvue....ed-dealers.html

$600+ with new cabling sounds good price.

$600+ with new cabling sounds good price.

Oh oh and I did mine with the battery thingy so I can record 24/7..I Everyday check at mcf car hit n run so I'm abit paranoid haha..so if u wanna do just the camera should be cheaper

As far as FC is concerned this was drilled into me decades ago. I will keep it short:

Ordinarily, your car will not benefit from using a higher octane than recommended in the owner�s manual.

Exactly.

Had been tested many times by independent parties and it has shown that octane does not increase power. Even petrol companies themselves acknowledged that octane is to determine how much a fuel can withstand a particular compression ratio before detonation/ignition.

Of course 98 will have more 'additives' as advertised over 95, known to keep your engine cleaner and run smoother. But really how much cleaner or smoother, we will never know in our car's life span.

Best is just follow the car manual's recommendation. If your wallet allows it, even going for Shell V power will not harm anything except your credit card bill. Or if think a higher octane gives you feeling of a more powerful engine and better FC, just do it. End of the day, it's your own money and you are happy. :)

I agree with Eric. QQ 1.2 is optimised for 95 Ron so extra is not needed. Yes you feel a little more power but engine is also rougher, louder and fuel consumption is also higher.

Between Esso and Shell, the former is smoother and quieter; but the latter is more torquey, louder and more thirsty

Hi Richard

You can try this (same brand,cheaper some more) - buy the x-trail 14 or later model.

Hey Hoamchu,

Bought from 1st link under xtrail 2014+/Qashqai 2016, received and installed in 2.0L yesterday nite and confiemwd to auto central lock when speed reaches 10 km/hr and good safety feature of flashing hazard lights when any door is opened regardless engine is on or off.

Btw, the advertised flashing hazard when braking at high speed did not happen and you hwve the same finding ??

Tks and Cheers !!

Bros, Oct98 or higher is certainly preferred but you have to pay more.

the words used ' help to improve' is deliberate - and not as strong as directly saying it improves . They are also�used on efficiency which is vague (marketing ploy) and it in fact actually refers to other things (efficiency of the combustion process mostly more smoother combustion and the word fuel consumption is specifically never mentioned).
Then if you read further down the exact phrase word for word (that I have used) is found there.
Fuel economy is to do with the calorific value of the hydrocarbon chain and the combustion .- essentially for all practical purposes because of the minute amount of additives used the hydrocarbon composition is the same.

I booked my QashQai 1.2T in early May. Got my COE on the first round a few days later. Bidded for 2 digit plate, did not get. Bidded for 3 digit plate. Got it. Could have got my car in end May or early June but was away on holiday. Just returned a few days ago. Got my car yesterday. So far so good.

�

Just some things I noticed. I did try to read all the posts in this thread but there are simply too many (few hundred including Part 1). So, apologies if I ask them again.

�

1. The primary reading for my analogue speedometer is in mph. I was told this is the same for all QQs. I wondered why since UK is supposed to have gone metric. Then I read that even though they have gone metric, they are a confused lot, still using mph for road speed. Anyway, if this is the reason, why is the analogue speedometer in QQ 2.0 different, in km/h?

�

2. The radio reception is rather bad. A lot of "shhh..shh.." sound. Maybe it is due to the rain yesterday. Or maybe due to poor installation when I changed the antennae to the "sharkfin" type. I will check again today.

�

3. If you turn off radio, you turn off GPS voice. I want GPS voice without radio. My solution is to change input from Radio to Aux. Any better solution?

�

4. In my other car, Toyota Harrier, all the doors automatically lock when I drive off. My daughter complains that this does not happen in the QQ. Is there a setting somewhere for this?

�

5. I like to charge my handphone in the car, so I have a dual USB charger permanently in the 12V socket. But I realised that the power does not go off when my engine is off. Is it risky to leave the charger there permanently? Will the battery be depleted? I am thinking only that small LED light on the charger is consuming power. Cannot be too much power drawn, right? From past experience, pulling the charger in and out too many times will spoil something.

�

6. When I reverse car to park, the grid lines appear on the screen. But yesterday when trying to reverse park at a small NTUC FairPrice outlet, the lines did not appear. I wonder why sometimes they do not appear.

�

Work in progress...

Hi guys and gals.
Finally got my night shade 1.2 QQ after booking it in Feb as I wanted to wait till my old car is scraped.

Love the car so far but 2 small issues.

1. The suspension seems to be making a bit of noise, when going over humps and when driving along uneven road surfaces. A bit of light creaking and knocking but certainly annoying for a new car.
Any idea what could be the problem? Di I need to fix it ASAP or can wait till 1k servicing?

2. My SE included the auto fold mirror for me but when I locked all doors , the mirrors folded themselves automatically when I was driving.
It seems the auto fold is activated by the locking of car doors. Is there a way to set it such that the mirrors won't auto fold when the car is moving and I locked the doors?

Thanks for your advice in advance

last time i said 98 got increase torque and etc, people shunned me saying its placebo effect haha..

The higher the number only represent the higher anti knocking no that is why turbo engine need 98 to run smoothly

Hi Richard

�

For the advertised flashing hazard lights, may have to brake very hard at speed above 50km/h (like emergency braking) to bring the speed down in a second or two.� I noticed my one is working as I needed to jam on the brake once.

�

Cheers!

Do you guys pump 95 or 98 mainly?

Btw, could someone kind enough to point me to the taobao page for the styling side plates and front lip?

Thank u very much! Cheers!

If you refer to the Nissan Qashqai Owner's Manual, under FUEL INFORMATION page 9-4, the facts are:-

�

MR 20DD or MR16DDT engine:�

�

Use Unleaded REGULAR petrol with an octane rating of at least 91 (RON)

�

[For those QQ 2.0L owners take note]

�

HRA2DDT engine:

�

Use Unleaded PREMIUM petrol with an octane rating of at least 95 (RON)

�

[For QQ 1.2T owners take note]

�

The fuel information states the respective minimun RON, but gives drivers discretion on using higher grades available in the market place. In Singapore's fuel market, there is a choice of 92, 95 or 98 RON.

�

My simple understanding is that for newer cars where there is likely less carbon deposit in the engine, 95 RON will be adequate. But for older engines where more carbon deposits may have accumulated over time, using higher RON fuels should help to clear those carbon deposits as higher RON petrol have more cleansing detergents to help provide better combustion.

�

Also be mindful that there is a possibilty of petrol contamination when petrol companies transport their fuel from supply sources all over the world right up to petrol station pumps. It would be prudent to report to the petrol supplier for RON rechecks if there are abnormal engine performance after petrol fueling.

Hi,

The fuel regardless of 95, 98 or vpower does not clean the engine. It is the additives that the companies add that does the job. E.g techron from Caltex etc. These companies in order to make you part with ya $$$$ put more stuff into to the higher octane fuel.

From engineering or science perspective, more additives means less of the combustible fuel which means less power.

Actually for turbo cars or even naturally inspirated engines, jus before servicing (change engine oil and oil filter), drive at high rev say ard 3500-4500rpm for about 5-10 min.

Additionally, try not to drive till fuel tank is near empty as 'fine' sediments might get into the engine. Generally, it is not a problem if you do not pump in Malaysia as fuel quality here in Spore is good.

Hi Kstoh

Some comments, from driving the QQ for almost 18 months...

�

Could have got my car in end May or early June but was away on holiday. Just returned a few days ago. Got my car yesterday. So far so good.

Then I read that even though they have gone metric, they are a confused lot, still using mph for road speed. Anyway, if this is the reason, why is the analogue speedometer in QQ 2.0 different, in km/h?

�

- you can go to setting and change to display digital speedometer which will display in km/hr

�

2. The radio reception is rather bad. A lot of "shhh..shh.." sound. Maybe it is due to the rain yesterday. Or maybe due to poor installation when I changed the antennae to the "sharkfin" type. I will check again today.

�

- think poor radio reception is generally acknowledged by almost all QQ owners... was told by TC it's the HU and not the antenna which is the main problem.� I know a few bros here have changed their HUs...but "major" project...haha...so you may wish to consider carefully if the "shhh" sounds irritate you enough to want to go down this path

�

3. If you turn off radio, you turn off GPS voice. I want GPS voice without radio. My solution is to change input from Radio to Aux. Any better solution?

�

- I'm not aware of any "better" solution, but maybe other bros can advise

�

4. In my other car, Toyota Harrier, all the doors automatically lock when I drive off. My daughter complains that this does not happen in the QQ. Is there a setting somewhere for this?

�

-� there is no setting but I went ahead to install a car alarm "upgrade", Steelmate 838IIB to "overcome" this problem and my car now "auto locks" all doors once I step on my brakes when I have started my car.� Do note that this ONLY stops ppl from opening your door from the outside but it doesn't prevent passengers from opening the doors from the inside.� Apparently this is some Euro safety feature which allows passengers to "escape" and not be trapped inside a car in times of any accidents/fires.

�

5. I like to charge my handphone in the car, so I have a dual USB charger permanently in the 12V socket. But I realised that the power does not go off when my engine is off. Is it risky to leave the charger there permanently? Will the battery be depleted? I am thinking only that small LED light on the charger is consuming power. Cannot be too much power drawn, right? From past experience, pulling the charger in and out too many times will spoil something.

�

- I also charge my handphone and Fitbit using such a dual USB charger and I will pull it out slightly (if I remember la) when I turn off the engine.� don't think it "damages or drains" the car battery too much.� Think the auto start-stop function actually does more harm to the battery's useful life

�

6. When I reverse car to park, the grid lines appear on the screen. But yesterday when trying to reverse park at a small NTUC FairPrice outlet, the lines did not appear. I wonder why sometimes they do not appear.

�

- Not sure about this but mine always shows the grid (as far as I can remember).� Maybe I am mistaken, or perhaps other bros here can advise

for mine seems to be ok, but not sure why in Woodlands, radio while audible but slight distortions can be heard.

I believe the port inside center arm rest, is not on�continuously, so when the engine is off, it stops charging. only the socket outside is on permanently. if you are concern�about battery depleting, use the center one.

�

6. When I reverse car to park, the grid lines appear on the screen. But yesterday when trying to reverse park at a small NTUC FairPrice outlet, the lines did not appear. I wonder why sometimes they do not appear.

feedback to TC. I always see mine when reversing.

1k will reach very fast, wait till then feedback if you are particular about the noise.

2. My SE included the auto fold mirror for me but when I locked all doors , the mirrors folded themselves automatically when I was driving.
It seems the auto fold is activated by the locking of car doors. Is there a way to set it such that the mirrors won't auto fold when the car is moving and I locked the doors?

shouldn't happen this way, makes no sense at all. feedback to TC. I have auto-fold as well, but only activated when i locked the car, not the doors when driving. tested already.

Thanks for your advice in advance

�

Additionally, try not to drive till fuel tank is near empty as 'fine' sediments might get into the engine. Generally, it is not a problem if you do not pump in Malaysia as fuel quality here in Spore is good.

�

When you pump petrol, isn't it stirring up the fine sediments? I believe the pump pressure is pretty high to mix up the sediments at the bottom.

I agree with Eric. QQ 1.2 is optimised for 95 Ron so extra is not needed. Yes you feel a little more power but engine is also rougher, louder and fuel consumption is also higher.

Between Esso and Shell, the former is smoother and quieter; but the latter is more torquey, louder and more thirsty

�

I opposite... pump Esso 95 got knocking and significant turbo lag. Shell 95 gives me a smoother acceleration and slightly better FC. But so far seems like only I experienced this. Haha.

�

Lol.. only u lah.

I tried shell 95 for 2 straight tanks and registered lower FC, manage only 12+km/l as compared to my normal 13+km/l.

I switch back to esso95 and got my FC back again.

Modern cars shouldnt worry about petrol sediments as all have fuel filter to do the job well.�

May need to change filter at a shorter interval if one pumps regularly in Malaysia.

Hi Bro Lee9389ck,�

�

� � Can i check where you got your Thinkware and where you got it installed? Mine is the dabonda legend and the video quality sux big time. Also able to share an indication of the price? Thanks!

�

Hi CLW37

�

Bro, not sure what brand DVR u got but when I bought my QQ in Jan 2015 I was given the Dabonda Legend (front only)...which was really hopeless and the blinking light kept flashing at a frantic pace until I'm not even sure if the camera is recording or it's just too hot and about to explode.

�

Got mine changed to Thinkware F750, a bit expensive but very happy with it's performance for last 9 months or so...excellent full HD recordings (and I now record both front and back). It comes with an easy to use app so you don't need to take out the SD card and look for a laptop to download video clips.

�

You can Google for it and I think there are a few places to get it installed.� They will have to remove your current DVR and re-do the wiring (which was total crap when the guy opened up the panel and showed me how "solid" TC did in terms of the wiring for my Dabonda Legend...haha)

�

Bro, DVR must get good one coz nowadays got lots of crazy drivers out there and we never know when we need our camera to record down "stunts" by them. Just last week, there was an idiot in a Honda Stream who was roadhogging on CTE at 70kmh on lane 1. When I signaled him to move left and eventually overtook him from the left, he was not happy and started tailgating me and then overtook me and started braking.� I finally drove to his left, signaled to him that my DVR has recorded all these...he looked stunned and quickly drove off....haha

�

Anyway, good luck in your search for a good DVR.

�

Cheers

Recently, I can hear some rattling sound at the driver side of the dashboard when the car is moving at between 50 to 60 and when making a small right turn. Not sure any bros or sis have encountered this issue? It sounds like a cardboard is vibrating.

Some say its the loose wires behind the glovebox. In my case last time, the glovebox compartment door was loose.. so loud rattle over bumpy road.�

Also can check the small little wires underneath passenger seat.

No harm to drive to your regular TC service centre and ask them check the chassis or drive shaft. May have to tighten up some loose parts or change bearings. Just a guess.

Been driving my QQ1.2 for around 6 to 7 weeks already and last Friday, my tyre on the driver side got punctured and tyre totally flat.

Called a mobile service and the guy came and mend the tyre. He said the leak is at the side wall (looks like a crack) and i have to change a new tire. He also said he came from another side when he helped another QQ owner mend his tyre, also 1 month old.

He commented that Continental tires seem to have this problem as the side wall is soft and prone to puncture. In the end i drove to City Tyre at Lavender and they changed to Yokohama (front 2 tires) for me. Tire shop guy also said the same thing about Conti tyres

So now i have a pair of Yokohama and a pair of Contis.

Yes, price includes installation...but they charge $20 for removing our old camera...and they'll show you the mess of wires hidden in the panel...haha... u will faint when u see how "champion" the TC third-party installer of our dashcams do the wiring...

Bro

�

nope... it does not come with optional battery pack... but I have been using it since Sep 2015 with no issues at all.� you can set the min battery level for which the cam will stop recording so it won't drain the battery until flat.

�

For your info, using our stock battery from Tan Chong and setting min voltage at 11, I could easily record approx. 36hrs before cam "shuts down"...so no issue for overnight parking mode...

what kills our battery more is the auto start-stop function...haha...even the SAs at TC also admitted to this.... so unless u really "enjoy" having the start-stop function... I would advise you disable once u get into the car so as to save your battery life...haha

I reckon Yokohama seems to be better suited for our hot tropical climate.

�

Good choice.

�

I understand TC do stock Yokohama in-house for customers wanting to change from conti oem tyres to another make.

�

Didn't know TC also stock Yokohama.

�

Do you think it is necessary to change my back tires to Yokohama then? Where to trade in my Contis?

Bro

nope... it does not come with optional battery pack... but I have been using it since Sep 2015 with no issues at all. you can set the min battery level for which the cam will stop recording so it won't drain the battery until flat.

I agree, auto start/stop is not going to be healthy for the battery and starter. I switch off from day one.

Best is to use the present tyres you have until they are due for replacement.

�

Not sure where you can trade in except you may try the company you got Yokohama from (?)

Been driving my QQ1.2 for around 6 to 7 weeks already and last Friday, my tyre on the driver side got punctured and tyre totally flat.

Called a mobile service and the guy came and mend the tyre. He said the leak is at the side wall (looks like a crack) and i have to change a new tire. He also said he came from another side when he helped another QQ owner mend his tyre, also 1 month old.

He commented that Continental tires seem to have this problem as the side wall is soft and prone to puncture. In the end i drove to City Tyre at Lavender and they changed to Yokohama (front 2 tires) for me. Tire shop guy also said the same thing about Conti tyres

So now i have a pair of Yokohama and a pair of Contis.

�

I think different users different experiences ba. I have had a lot of Continental tires over my last 3 cars over a period of 5 years at least, all the CSC3 / CSC5 stood up very well. Good grip, decent wear & tear, relatively affordable prices. I tried changing to Michelin PS2/PS3 but very noisy. My current one also using CSC5 no complains.. somemore I am high mileage user with 30,000km per year at least.

I've accidentally driven up and hit a few kerbs during turns. So far still ok.

So far still ok. No deep cuts or anything.

Hi Audi2016

�

Agree with you bro... had my Conti tyres for almost 50,000km and only changed to Michelin recently.� Never had any problems with the Conti tyres...going up and down the NSHW.... guess diff batch tyres maybe diff outcome...

Ok, my experience so far after getting the 2.0L a few days ago.

�

Overall, I would find it above average.

Sufficient power on the road esp on steep up slopes.

�

Expressways

- Handles itself well on expressways in terms of stability and overtaking, esp when compared to my old 1.5l car.

- On the way home from collection, achieved a 13.5km/l based on car reading but after that no more. But I do understand the reading is likely not accurate, esp the first couple of tanks. Will have to review again after 5k check.

- Steering stiffens up on expressways which I like.

�

City driving

- Average. Not as zippy and maneuverable due to size.

- Find the steering at lower speeds a little light. Did not notice that during test drive.

- Some body roll during cornering. More obvious now than when I test drove. Less roll than my old sedan but not sure how it compares with the Vezel, Tuson, XT, Forester and other SUVs etc.

- Fuel economy perhaps only 9km/l but got to monitor further.

- 1st 0.5 sec acceleration from standstill a bit slow but once the lumbering butt gets moving, it can actually accelerate pretty fast to 60km/hr.

- Quiet cabin but maybe not as quiet as my old sedan when it was brand new. I like a quiet cabin. Should have bought a Harrier.

�

Overall

- Visibility surprisingly better than I remember. Large side mirrors are good.

- Love the reverse parking camera. Very useful as the huge butt blocks your line of sight.

- Dashboard feels quite complicated to me. I was used to a simple dashboard where the most sophisticated item was the analog radio and CD player.

- HU surprisingly did not give me issues with radio reception which I read was an issue. The navigation system on the HU is pretty good.

- Not fussy about speaker quality so I won't say anything about it.

- No rattles so far.

- Wife complained the seat is too hard. I wish the seats are Alcantara rather than leather. Alcantara grips the passenger's butt better and is not scalding hot (compared to leather) after parking in the sun.

- Aircon is strong enough for me. I usually set it at 24 or 25, 1 bar fan speed only. Pretty good for me. But one thing I find irritating is the internal vs external circulation. Still trying to resolve. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

- Got to tell bros who are new to the QQ. Once the fuel warning sign comes on, please go refuel. I thought there will be another yellow blinking light later on to warn me I am onto my last 10L reserve tank so I traveled quite a distance before I topped up. There is no yellow blinking light in the QQ. � I only got left with 1L of fuel in the main and reserve tank when I finally topped up.

- Moon roof is swee but I can't get to enjoy it while driving.

- Wish there are more storage areas. The side storage is a little too deep and dark.

- Tail gate is damn heavy. Wish there was a motorised version.

�

Currently still trying to finish reading the manual. Damn difficult reading it.

Just finished my 1st full tank.

55L traveled 590km. ~10.7km/L

Roughly 80% highway 20% urban (but highway is also peak hour traffic with some start/stop averaging 80km/hr).

Esso 95.

Will see how much more fuel efficient I can get after the first 1K servicing.

Any idea how can we switch off the music than comes on when we start the car ? Thanks

Sad to say, my fc only became worse and worse after 1k and 5k servicing. Might get better after 10k since they start using SO instead of MO then.

Is it a good idea to use synthetic oil (need to pay TC about $64) after 1K or 5K? FC may be one improvement, any other advantage?

Hi guys and gals.
Finally got my night shade 1.2 QQ after booking it in Feb as I wanted to wait till my old car is scraped.

Love the car so far but 2 small issues.

1. The suspension seems to be making a bit of noise, when going over humps and when driving along uneven road surfaces. A bit of light creaking and knocking but certainly annoying for a new car.
Any idea what could be the problem? Di I need to fix it ASAP or can wait till 1k servicing?

2. My SE included the auto fold mirror for me but when I locked all doors , the mirrors folded themselves automatically when I was driving.
It seems the auto fold is activated by the locking of car doors. Is there a way to set it such that the mirrors won't auto fold when the car is moving and I locked the doors?

Thanks for your advice in advance

As pointed out by tinydot, issue 2 should not happen. My SE also included auto-fold side mirrors. But they only auto fold when I park & lock the car doors. Does not happen when I am driving and I lock the doors.

Also as pointed out, locking the doors simply means cannot open from outside. All the doors can always be opened from inside, regardless of whether you lock the doors using the controls on the door or the key. Seems different from what the manual says.

To prevent door from opening inside, maybe need the child lock but I never try it.

Thanks bro. The prices include installation? Also are you able to see the video feed from the center screen after installation like how it was previously?

Do you mean one can view the car cam video from the center screen (GPS/Radio screen) for the default car cam? My car came with Papago (front/back). The cam itself has a small display but I don't think the video can be viewed from center screen. Or maybe I don't know how to do it. What is the default camera supplied?

Been driving my QQ1.2 for around 6 to 7 weeks already and last Friday, my tyre on the driver side got punctured and tyre totally flat.

So now i have a pair of Yokohama and a pair of Contis.

Coincidentally, my colleague's friend who owns a QQ just mentioned that the supplied tired punctures easily at the sides and the repair kit is useless for such punctures. Suggested we buy an actual spare tire plus Jack and put into the boot. Anybody did this?

Hi Kstoh,

�

The Papago should have video ouput like previous provided cam and it is connected to AV in of the HU.

�

Please try to switch to AV input as source and you should be able to view what your Papago is recording.

Cheers.

Hi KsToh,

�

Sure .. some bros here had done it.

�

Remove all the almost useless stuff in the spare tyre well and retrofit a full size 17" there.

Please await bros here to share so photos else spidey aka Peter here would be the one you can pm for more info.

Is it a good idea to use synthetic oil (need to pay TC about $64) after 1K or 5K? FC may be one improvement, any other advantage?

�

Hi Pocy,

�

Sure ... especially for our hot 1.2 turbo engine because of hot exhaust being led back the engine chamber and hence the never-heard 4.63 litre of engine oil for 1.2L while my 2.4L estima uses only 4.25 litre of engine oil.

�

Synthetic engine oil breaks down at much higher temp than mineral engine oil and keeps the engine cleaner with less sludge which is formed when break down occurs unavoidably. �For turbo charge engine, it is strongly recommended to use synthetic engine oil which is not any more expensive for 10k km if you have to service every 5k km using mineral oil .... and the time and hassle for going to TC service center which is not exactly delightful.

�

Actually, you are already late .... I changed to synthetic oil at 1k and 5k also to flush out unavoidable Nissan factory's mineral oil ....

�

Cheers.

Hi Kxbc,

About there liao .... but should get slightly better to 600km+ especially if less peak hour expressway.

No miracle regardless 1k, 5k or 10k km and really boils down to whether you are light footed or not and of course city/hway ratio ... happy tio ho !!

When you pump petrol, isn't it stirring up the fine sediments? I believe the pump pressure is pretty high to mix up the sediments at the bottom.

�

Hi DonaldKuok,

�

Indeed .... and there is such thing called fuel filter that you need to change every say 60k km.

Hi CLW37

�

Nope, our HU will not be able to view realtime anymore.� Anyway, it's both front and rear so I'm not sure how we can program the HU to show footages or live recordings from both front and rear thru one single display...haha

�

Yes, price includes installation...but they charge $20 for removing our old camera...and they'll show you the mess of wires hidden in the panel...haha... u will faint when u see how "champion" the TC third-party installer of our dashcams do the wiring... Even if ZMC didn't charge me for taking out the old cam, I would also have given the chap money just to help me remove the horrifying mess of wiring...haha

�

Thinkware uses an app...so u can watch when u sync your mobile app with the dashcam, thru its wifi mode... then download and keep any clips u want or may use in the future.

the words used ' help to improve' is deliberate - and not as strong as directly saying it improves . They are also�used on efficiency which is vague (marketing ploy) and it in fact actually refers to other things (efficiency of the combustion process mostly more smoother combustion and the word fuel consumption is specifically never mentioned).
Then if you read further down the exact phrase word for word (that I have used) is found there.
Fuel economy is to do with the calorific value of the hydrocarbon chain and the combustion .- essentially for all practical purposes because of the minute amount of additives used the hydrocarbon composition is the same.

�

�

Hi Kumquat,

�

Strange and perhap do recheck again.

�

Servicing should not cause FC to be worst .... think more of your travel schedule, timing and city/hway mixture that we also forget since it is almost 600k to a tank and can you really say you remember the nature of your 12 to 20 trips even if you travel minimally 30km daily ??

�

Anyway, think all these FC topics is over rated compared to sgd100k =+ we paid and quite boringly if you dun mind me saying .... IT IS THE SAME QASHQAI 1.2L TURBO CAR THAT WE ALL HAVE if stock and only difference is the individual's driving style and city/hway ratio.

�

My apology for the bluntness on this FC topic .... yawn ...

Hi Richard

For the advertised flashing hazard lights, may have to brake very hard at speed above 50km/h (like emergency braking) to bring the speed down in a second or two.� I noticed my one is working as I needed to jam on the brake once.

Cheers!

We shall be seeing many flashing hazard light soon as there is a MO for this module for 35+ bros in the whatsapp group .... thanks to your great lobang at mere SGD27 including ezbuy handling etc. which I would then include into the no-brainer list for Qashqai mod.

�

I will disable my brake activate auto central locking from my SGD160 Steelmate alarm upgrade since this speed sensitive auto central locking is better and with added safety of flashing hazard light when any doors open as well as this emergency braking hazard light albeit had not verified it to be working.

Bro, you said quiet cabin as in car during idling or Travelling along highway?
I find mine not quiet at all.
Same Travelling pattern as yours but certainly has better FC than you. Abt 13.5Km/L Think is the way you drive. Try not to be too heavy footed. It might help to achieve better FC.

Yes, agree with you based on my personal experience with Yokohama tyres. After 20K+ km, the road noise is somewhat irritating. I would change tyres when the tyre thread start to give the indications as I do not compromise on safety.

Mine is 2.0l in case we are talking about different engines.

My traveling is roughly 40km per day. City traffic is in cbd area. My driving style did not change from my old 1.5 latio which gave me 14km/l along the same route. I would expect the 2.0l to probably average 12km/l hopefully.

Cabin is mostly quiet when idle or driven. Insulates well against engine noise. Most noise intrusion come from the tyres, esp on rough roads similar to aye condition. I compared to my old latio when I first got it and the latio was definitely quieter, perhaps due to different tyres used.

Hi, I just got my 1.2 QQ last week. How can I tell whether the chassis control is working. I tick both trace control & engine brake in the setting, then switch to chassis control in the display, but didn't see any indication that it is functioning or taking actions? Anyone can enlighten me ? Or it has to be on only some conditions that this will activate?

Try cornering slightly faster and you will see your screen change to a curve. Try at your own risk, drive safely.

Yes the grids will bend into the corresponding directions of your cornering and lights up in blue. Sometimes will also lights up if u goes over uneven surface at a fast speed.

Maybe my unit was not properly insulated.

Hey Hoamchu,

Bought from 1st link under xtrail 2014+/Qashqai 2016, received and installed in 2.0L yesterday nite and confiemwd to auto central lock when speed reaches 10 km/hr and good safety feature of flashing hazard lights when any door is opened regardless engine is on or off.

Btw, the advertised flashing hazard when braking at high speed did not happen and you hwve the same finding ??

Tks and Cheers !!

Yokohama DB gave me a fright when I had them on my old Kia. The wheels kept spinning on the wet upslope at Wisma carpark. And it was a relatively good condition tyre with enough threads.

Oh no mine is the DB model!

Mine is 2.0L too but l find my road noise terrible especially highway.

You have very good FC for a 2.0L unit. They advertised 6.9L for every 100km which is 14.5km/L. I could not even achieve that on my old Latio. Anyways, my target is 12km/L so hopefully will get better. [:p]

�

Everyone's tolerance for cabin noise is different. I would think both our units are just as or just as not well insulated. There should not be too much difference in each unit.

Oh no mine is the DB model!

Not to worry too much when new.

�

However be prudent when it reaches 20K km and consider other options after doing your homework.

Michelin, Pirelli, Conti, Goodyear, Bridgestone,Toyo, Falken, Japanese and Korean brands �etc etc spoilt for choice.

14.5km/L base on per tank cannot be achieve by me. base on per trip yes. just dunno what they bsse on.
My ave FC indicatot on the dusplay meter which cannot be reset/ adjust indicates only 12.1km/l. But then again, l dont expect good FC for a 2L car.
Tks for sharing bro.

I opposite... pump Esso 95 got knocking and significant turbo lag. Shell 95 gives me a smoother acceleration and slightly better FC. But so far seems like only I experienced this. Haha.

�

I am using Esso 95. No issues..

It gives more mileage than Esso 98. Had tried for a few tanks of Esso 98.

any buddies upgraded or changed their QQ stock rims?

Used to pump Shell 95/98 umpteen years ago.

�

Then switch to Caltex 95 some years back because the petrol stations are more conveniently located.

�

Then some of the Caltex stations were converted to SPC petrol stations for some unknown reasons.

�

Because of location convenience and card discount benefits, I now use SPC 95. After every fourth tank or so, I will use 98 RON just to get the feel good effect.

My average as displayed on dashboard is now around 9.8. My achieved is 10.7. Perhaps you can add 1 to your 12.1 dashboard and see how it stacks up to a manual calculation using distance traveled divided by fuel pumped.

Hi Richard

�

I am not sure whether the model you ordered has the emergency braking hazard light as I don't see it in the feature explanation (after I look at the Taobao page in details).� The problem of ordering from Taobao is sometimes, the same brand has many models and the illustration does not specify which OBD has what features and whether it is available for the car model.� May have to chat with the seller to have a clearer picture.

�

The same brand OBD I have has the emergency braking light feature.� If the car speed drops from above 50km/h to 10km/h in 2 seconds or less, the left and right turning signal light will blink alternatively for 3 seconds.� and if the speed drops from above 50km/h to 0km/h in 3 seconds or less, besides the blinking signal lights, the central lock will unlock.

�

My apologies for the possible mixed-up as the link I bought the same brand OBD is currently not available to overseas buyer, not sure why.

�

Have a great day!

Changed mine last Sep at Stamford tyres...approx. $150 per pc...but think now it's cheaper ...haha

�

Didn't like the brake dust making the stock rims look "black and dirty", so changed to something where the brake dust won't be so obvious.� Same offset as stock rims so can use back original tyres and no impact on the speedometer.

�

If u wanna change then should do it immediately when u collect your car so the supplier can take in your rims for trade-in.

Anyway, many bros here also upgraded to 18" or even 19" rims... maybe they'll post so u can see....all very swee....haha

Hi Kumquat,

Strange and perhap do recheck again.

�

Servicing should not cause FC to be worst .... think more of your travel schedule, timing and city/hway mixture that we also forget since it is almost 600k to a tank and can you really say you remember the nature of your 12 to 20 trips even if you travel minimally 30km daily ??

�

Anyway, think all these FC topics is over rated compared to sgd100k =+ we paid and quite boringly if you dun mind me saying .... IT IS THE SAME QASHQAI 1.2L TURBO CAR THAT WE ALL HAVE if stock and only difference is the individual's driving style and city/hway ratio.

Haha no worries boss, I am just sharing what I feel anyway. And you're probably right, it's all in my feet. Maybe after servicing, I start adding stuff and start to get more heavy footed. Heheh.

I agree on this FC discussion point.

Once you have bought and driven the car whatever the model, the actual vs theoritical fc becomes academic.

I think it's called window visors. I got mine from SE as freebie but not installed yet because the stock wasn't in when my car was delivered last month. I've seen a few video on installing that on youtube. not too complicated.

I opposite... pump Esso 95 got knocking and significant turbo lag. Shell 95 gives me a smoother acceleration and slightly better FC. But so far seems like only I experienced this. Haha.

If you need to switch brand, try to not do it near empty tank. The fuel sensor can adjust easier. Else you might need 2 or more tank for the car to get used to it. Just like transmission, it can adapt.

Recently, I can hear some rattling sound at the driver side of the dashboard when the car is moving at between 50 to 60 and when making a small right turn. Not sure any bros or sis have encountered this issue? It sounds like a cardboard is vibrating.

Sometimes it could be the items one put in the glove compartment. Empty the compartment and see if the noise is still present.

If yes get the service engineer to go for a test drive with the glove compartment empty. You drive and h sit on passenger seat. Easier to spot / identify the location generating the noise.

The 3 pieces received from Hoamchu's 1st cheaper link works fine on auto central lock and hazard lights switching on when door opens on the 1.2L and 2.0L except had not confirmed the emergency braking that activates hazard lights and release of central lock that Hoamchu reported that his does.

Hi Donald83,

No worry and I probably exaggerated.

Just take note and drive prudently as all of us should when it rains sparingly regardless what tyres we have.

Cheers.

Hi Richard

I am not sure whether the model you ordered has the emergency braking hazard light as I don't see it in the feature explanation (after I look at the Taobao page in details). The problem of ordering from Taobao is sometimes, the same brand has many models and the illustration does not specify which OBD has what features and whether it is available for the car model. May have to chat with the seller to have a clearer picture.

The same brand OBD I have has the emergency braking light feature. If the car speed drops from above 50km/h to 10km/h in 2 seconds or less, the left and right turning signal light will blink alternatively for 3 seconds. and if the speed drops from above 50km/h to 0km/h in 3 seconds or less, besides the blinking signal lights, the central lock will unlock.

My apologies for the possible mixed-up as the link I bought the same brand OBD is currently not available to overseas buyer, not sure why.

Have a great day!

Hi Hoamchu,

No worry ..I checked both above 2 links from you which I ordered and received 3 units are with the same "window god" brand with same 6 features described but did not try the 50 to 10 and 50 to 0 km/hr that should also work.

One telling sign is that older versions mentioned 15 or 20km/hr triggering but newer version with 2016 qashqai mentioned has 10km/hr tiggering which you described and confirmed for the 3 bros.

Cheers.

Richard

Hi Kumquat?

3 accidents on the 3 sunny that CO had and 1st was clear cut and TC proceeded to repair and had coirtesy ..no problem.

Next 2 accidents, CO paid first and also paid for courtesy car cos not so straighfoward ...pile up and side swipe. Eventually, the other insurance companies reimbursed my CO by like 3-6 months.

Surveyor may have done his job but yes, blickering between the insurance companies.

No choice but pay first if you want to get reapir done asap and not a bad idea as any corrosion will be worse if it is acratched up.

Yes, accidents are nightmare even if not your fault ...

Defcom81 and funkyhan,

Many of the bros and I in qashqai whatsapp group did installed the front strut bar.

It tightens up the steering significantly especially when sport steering is selected else you will notice that on a straight road, you can turn a bit left or right but can still go straight i.e. free play is too much.

With such free play, steering round a bend need to be continuously adjusted which to me is dangerous since you may over or under adjust but with the front strut bar in place, this free play is reduced significantly and steering is much more accurate.

Cheers.

Try using a diff device or aux cable before sending in TC for a check.
My HU AUX works fine with my note 4 but I rarely uses it.
If I press the aux icon it will switch to aux mode and radio will be off, even if I didn't connect any device yet.
By the way, do note HU vendor only have 1 or 2 guys running around several TC service centres. So it's better to call and check their timing with the respective centres before going.

could you share a photo on how the strut bar is installed please. thank you.

Does it make a big difference? Less roll?

Does it make a big difference? Less roll?

Body roll is due to suspension system too soft.
You need to change the system inorder to reduce the body roll.

If sg wasnt so strict, the QQ would have undergone upgrades like the supercar megabuild. :P

Edited by haronkr, 16 June 2016 - 10:52 AM.

Defcom81 and funkyhan,

Many of the bros and I in qashqai whatsapp group did installed the front strut bar.

It tightens up the steering significantly especially when sport steering is selected else you will notice that on a straight road, you can turn a bit left or right but can still go straight i.e. free play is too much.

With such free play, steering round a bend need to be continuously adjusted which to me is dangerous since you may over or under adjust but with the front strut bar in place, this free play is reduced significantly and steering is much more accurate.

Cheers.

Richard

Sorry to hear that ----

Just like to share that I just came back from BT to resolve my brake lock situation.

So there was this new software in late May/early Jun. (I already upgraded once in early May).

The manager was kind to explain that the the issue was due to time needed for the ecu to restart after the car is off.

Previously, the ecu needs 12 mins or so to restart. If you restart the car within 12mins, the ecu might get confused n the brake lock could happen.

They have now reduced this time to 8 to 12 secs with the latest software. So ideally it would not happen again.

The drive home from BT felt smooth... :)

If you are refering to scuff plates, most of them are using double side tapes that can be self install.
If you want those led scuff plate, then can go to workshop to do .

What should happen when u press AUX n AUX is not connected to any device? My AUX icon merely blinks and my radio is is still with sound.

�

When I press Menu > Aux, and Aux is not connected to any device, I can use GPS with voice and without radio.

The aux in my QQ also dun seem to respond or do anything. I connect my phone through the audio jack to the aux jack in the centre console and it does not even play a sound. Sigh... This is the only my problem in an otherwise perfect QQ. Sigh.....

I can play music (and sounds from Youtube) when I connect my iPhone to the UBS port or via Bluetooth. Never tried connecting to Aux.

As he explained, there is a certain sequence to be met in order to trigger the brake lock.

Perhaps the problem is there, just that some ppl do not experience it. E.g. they have never off the car, and then start it up within 12 mins..

Changed mine last Sep at Stamford tyres...approx. $150 per pc...but think now it's cheaper ...haha

Didn't like the brake dust making the stock rims look "black and dirty", so changed to something where the brake dust won't be so obvious. Same offset as stock rims so can use back original tyres and no impact on the speedometer.

If u wanna change then should do it immediately when u collect your car so the supplier can take in your rims for trade-in.

Anyway, many bros here also upgraded to 18" or even 19" rims... maybe they'll post so u can see....all very swee....haha

Forgot to ask. Did they remove the dust shield/metal plate to install the bbk?

Sure can and done albeit indeed not possible via TC but having manual override but default back to on would not meet LTA's CEV rebate if owner keeps doing manual override which is unfortunately what is being done ??

Nice and firm while not significantly harder than stock ...�

�

Looks nice also cos think drop 30mm or more than 1 inch.

However, note that changing spring and damper would probably wear down dampers sooner but not sure how much more .... if ever to claim damper warranty, there is the need to put back stock spring.

Then I read that our car has rain sensor and I had somehow put the wipers in Auto Rain Sensor mode!

The other thing that happened twice to me. Today it happened again as I was reversing into a car park lot. Reverse gear with me controlling the brakes (or accelerator I forgot). The brakes will engage on/off/on/off. A bit of vibration. Happened to anyone else?

You can turn on or off the guide lines during reversing. Just touch the screen and select the option accordingly.

I remember my first car (COE car) the area near mud flaps rusting quite badly. I guess the screws resulted in starting point for the rust to set in due to unprotected metal.

Last time I got knocked from behind, i sent the car for repair in a aig approved workshop. Got a courtesy car on the spot after leaving the car with the workshop. I did not have to deal with anything. Workshop settled everything for me. Ncd not affected. Not sure why you are facing this issue with TC.

It depends whether you are claiming your own insurance first or the other party insurance...If you are claiming your own insurance, then immediate repair, if not has to wait for other party insurance company to give green light.

Actual FC of QQ 2L varies with individual driving style and habit.
The route you take daily determine the FC of your vehicle too.
Mine is mostly highway and my FC per tank is about 13.5L.

Just to update that I checked with my SE and she informed me that previously the car cam was wired for display on the HU. But for my car cam, Papago GoSafe 360, it already comes with a screen, so there is no wiring to the HU. You either view the clip on the small screen or take the microSD card out and insert into the microSD slot on the HU to watch the clips on the HU.

bro. you're right.
l used to moniter my FC initialy too.
l think there should not be a vast difference since we're talking abt the same make/model. For 1.2T, how bad can it be? and for 2.0L driver, if you expect good FC, then you have made the wrong choice. l know many bros here just want to know out of curiousity when they first got their car. Slowly this FC thingy will wane off. haha..

I think I saw it in the brochure. $16 for one litre synthetic oil but $85 is more than 5 litres. Need 5 litres?

Sorry guys, my mistake cos my free servicing package was till 50K.

TC must have realized it is better for me to use fully syn else I have to keep coming back to them at 5k interval.

Hey Eric,

Only 1 and 5k km free service if no npms ..no surprise.

However, I would recommend synthetic eo cos our 1.2L turbo is hot and hence uses 4.63l of eo compared to 3.8l for even 2.0L non turbo. Synthetic eo withstands higher temperature and hence produces less sludge.

I changed to synethetic eo since 1k and 5k service ..wasted some $ but peanuts compared to 100k+ spent on car and wants to flush out factory asap.

Cheerz.

Btw did you sign up with NPMP servicing package?

I'm going for my 5k servicing in Aug, and my free servicing ends at 10k. Wondering if i should go 3rd party workshop to service after that as it will be more cost effective.

Any bros here modded air intake and exhaust? Can PM me also if u want. Just gathering feedbacks. Thanks!

Not yet. Mostly changed to K&N Air Filter.... Remus exhaust system; Fong Kim have... But $2k+ with installation and inspection.

Sure void warranty hor....

Need 4.63L in fact.....

How did you guys get the 4.63L eo for 1.2 engine? Tan Chong said my 1.6 engine only requires 4.5L. Outside workshop said 4L is enough as not all can drain out.�

Mine is 1.6 dig-t btw.

I guess the bigger oil capacity is due to the intercooler.

No. Do it at the next servicing and offset with NPMP there and then (that's what I was told perilously ). Will not use outside workshop given the rate is reasonable , it would void warranty, the car is too electronical for outsiders

bro. you're right.
l used to moniter my FC initialy too.
l think there should not be a vast difference since we're talking abt the same make/model. For 1.2T, how bad can it be? and for 2.0L driver, if you expect good FC, then you have made the wrong choice. l know many bros here just want to know out of curiousity when they first got their car. Slowly this FC thingy will wane off. haha..

�

Thanks for the advise on the FC. I am driving a 2.0L Impreza now and am await for my QQ 2.0L. So it will be great if I can get some savings as I am averaging 12.6l/100k. A bit of fuel savings money can be put to buy other parts for it.� :grin:

I see Vezel got a lot of poisons! Make me backside itchy... btw, FK also have carbon fibre air intake!

Saw at Giant promo for shell helix and Mobil 1 very cheap.

But at ~4.5L, would require more than 1 bottle (4L per bottle if I remember correctly).

May cost more this way but you would be using Ferrari EO.

hi Columbian78,

Not many Qashqai are being serviced by outside workshop since most owner have TC's NPMS ... workshop that you spoke to knows shit and just make casual remark .... � if new dry engine, it is 5.6 liter of eo.

With due respect to Mred1-2's suspect on intercooler being the reason for the usually large eo requirement, it is nothing to do with intercooler which handles air and not eo �!!!

The 1.2L dig-T engine is turbo charge and hence hot which needs more cooling of the engine block ... the bigger 2.0L engine capacity requires only 3.8 litre eo

Hi Richard, sorry if I had caused confusion. Indeed I have the 1.6 dig turbo but in a sylphy.

1.6 DIG-Turbo for Sylphy is different animal from 1.2 Turbo for QQ.

The 1.6 is Nissan designed and manufactured while the 1.2T is Renault designed and manufactured.

The 1.2T is really maximising the power out of the little 1.2 - not sure how it will perform long term.

My bet is that your 1.6 DIG-T will last better due to Jap design/manufacturing and more buffer to deliver its power with bigger capacity.

From my understanding both engines are collaborations between Nissan and Renault. From design and engineering and production know how each contribute what they are good at. But it seems more Nissan models are utilizing these engines. Not sure for 1.2. For 1.6 Renault side I only know Clio rs. I drove a friends 1.2 qq before and quite impressed overall with the engine power and ride quality.

Sylphy 1.6T compression ratio 9.5:1

https://en.wikipedia..._engine#MR16DDT

Possible effect of higher compression

http://mechanics.sta...mpression-ratio

"Why would i go for lower compression:

Much much cheaper to build,run and repair.
Lasts much longer than counterpart."

Above stated effect probably not conclusive - it is only true in "everything being equal situation" but the two engines are not equal to begin with.

�

More complete answer is probably it depends - e.g. how good is the design to cater to the higher compression; how good is the manufacturing to cater to the higher compression (e.g. higher compression will show up manufacturing defects more easily than lower compression) etc.

Bye too - as this topic is diverging somewhat from purely discussing QQ.

I was just commenting to an earlier poster's comment that he lurked in this forum because he feels the QQ 1.2T engine is the closest he can find to his Slyphy 1.6T engine.� Was just highlighting that they are quite different animals (esp. as 1.6T is a MR series engine and 1.2T is a HR series engine - different engine families).

1. Some of you talk about using your DUO points to offset servicing costs. What is this DUO points? I was never told of it when I bought and collected my car.

�

2. For the Galactio GPS, is there a way to set it to display the current location without it being in navigation mode to a location? When I press "Current Position", the display freezes at the location at the point of pressing. It does not continuously show the current location as the car moves. Often, as I drive, I like the map to display the current location, the way most GPS systems do.

3. Is our system TMC enabled?

Hi Kstoh,

1. Most of us not told but when you buy from TanChong you get about 50k+ duo dollars if you have duo reward account. If you don't have account, pls set it up and write to duo reward to have this 50k+ duo dollar credit and use it from there. Dun use their hotline or feedback form cos it never work ..use their email address.

Email to DUO to credit your point since you are late. I was one of those late too.

Don't mind to share who is your SE and showroom. Curious to know this SE and I think others here too.

QQ fans.... Been driving QQ 1.2 about a month, I am new to turbos just wandering when the the turbos kick in ,in the QQ 1.2 while driving. Been driving at 90km to 100km speed but don't feel any turbo.

I think the CCVT makes the drive very smooth so the turbo boost is not obvious. Other QQ 1.2T owners correct me if i am wrong, the turbo kicks in at around 55km/h as i usually feel a push when accelerating pass that.

Hi Bezz,

�

Turbo is always spinning to get ready the minute you start you engine.

�

It maxes out at around 1.8k rpm is what I read but have no means to verify.

�

But I do believe it is not speed dependent but rpm dependent cos same rpm just like can be different speed depending on which gear you are already travelling at.

�

I am also new to turbo and hope other bros can add on.

I aso new to turbo but from what I have read, the turbo kicks in at 1750rpm, not max out.

It will continue to spool until a rpm drop is detected (release acc or "gear" change) and unused pressurized air will be dumped out.

�

Try cruising at 80km/h (1.5K rpm), floor the pedal�and let it climb to 4~4.5k rpm. May feel some surge, but not enough to glue to the seat. Anyway how much can we expect to "feel" from 115bhp? Just be warned that if anyone tries out the above, you will be�out of�the expressway 90km/h speed limit within a few secs.

I had emailed to Galactio Singapore before and they told me my HU model does not support TMC.

�

I have tried the Galactio android version on my phone and I think it does support TMC. �

�

I might be moving back to using Sygic on my phone as I find that the HU unit is very unsensitive when scrolling the map. Furthermore the view angle of the HU is too low to my liking.

Hi Mred-1-2,

�

Please see enclosed specification ... torque max at 1750 rpm.

�

You are feeling pick up at higher speed cos it takes less effort to overcome the inertia at low speed but of course will still run out of pure bhp power.

Hi BCSChan,

Yes, I love my Sygic but Galactio is really good too.

�

Using Galactio on headunit has distinct advantage of being fully integrated without need to start mobile phone and best part is audio cutting in and off the usual radio or other music source while makes using mobile phone so dated .... yes, I have Sygic, Googlemap, Waze as well as IGo in my dual Android/wince OS headunit and should be a bit qualified to comment ....haha !!

GBP is sliding against SGD. QQ from UK. OMV should slide. QQ price should slide. Potential QQ buyers happy. :XD: :XD: :XD:

As a layman, this is how I describe feeling turbo kicks in. It is very diff from vtec kicks in �at high rpm. When you accelerate briskly from 0. The first few seconds from 0 to 30-40kmph, it feels normal. Then from then on and around 2000rpm, there suddenly is a rush of force pushing you forward. You only start overtaking the other cars around you (asumming they are �not chionging with you). This is when the torque exponentially climbs to max and that is turbo kicks in. �

Hi Richard,
Maybe i misinterpreted your words maxes out as = finished, no more turbo....

Yes specs state max torque at 1.8rpm but max bhp 4.5krpm. How to interpret this?

From what I know 1.2 QQ is configured for low end torque and drives like a 1.6 na.
No turbo kicks.

�

hi Mred-1-2,

�

Oh ... torque is different from bhp power.

�

You need torque for pick up low speed and bhp power to gain max speed and yes, they are at different rpm with max power at higher rpm until maxed out.

�

Our 1.2L is tuned for low torque at low speed to over 1.2L engine limitation but it also means it runs out of power also due to 1.2l engine limitation at high speed .... low or high is of course relative.

�

So in your example and assuming flat road and no other environment changes, and if your car is travelling at say 180km/hr when rpm is 4.5k, you will not be able to go to 181km/hr.

Cheers.

Nissan invested in the Sunderland plant to sell their output not only domestically in Britain, but primarily to the broader European market and the rest of the world.

�

With Brexit now, vehicle export to EU will be subject to import duties and other non-preferential tariffs making Nissan uncompetitive.

�

Therefore it would not be surprising for Nissan to shift their Sunderland plant to other mainstream EU countries to remain competitive relative to other competitors including their strategic partner Renault.

A lot of 'experts' have said Britain is going to go down in the dumps because of Brexit.

Me on the other hand am not a expert, scholar or talent. I am just a lay person with a few good English friends who gave me more than enough reasons for Britain to leave EU. I have not heard any compelling reasons to stay on other than the doom and gloom (unsubstantiated) claims.

For example, is a cheap pound bad for Britain...yes and no. Like someone pointed out, TC will be buying QQ much cheaper now with the low pound. On the other hand, Japanese cars will cost more now with the surge in Yen against US$. So there will be more interest in British products since they are cheaper than before.

In the long run, everything will even out. Staying in EU benefits the rich much more than the average person. That's why most cities voted to leave EU except for the rich people staying in London...

Just my humble view...QQ should be cheaper soon, if it is not than either TC took all thr currency gains or TC has an aggressive currency hedge.

Couldn't sleep and just talking rubbish

GBP is sliding against SGD. QQ from UK. OMV should slide. QQ price should slide. Potential QQ buyers happy.

I don't think so. Just look at those Jap cars that have production plant in Thailand. Are they cheaper?

Cosmetic roof rails finally arrived after waiting for around 3 weeks! It came in gloss silver and I used my remaining plastidip matt black n glossifier to spray them 5 coats black and 2 coats glossifier. This rails are flat on roof and no screws are required. No worries as I have used 3m double sided tape to paste them. They are probably made of plastic and very light and make the car look slightly higher.

Nice.. By the way, do you have to remove the rubber straps before pasting the rails?

After getting more familiar with this turbo diesel, I took it on some nice windy A roads and even a few B roads.
Being quite a bit higher than a sedan, you can't throw it into the corners like a sedan but it's quite good at holding its line and the lane sensing tech is rather useful.
The suspension is on the firm side, aiding road holding, but you do feel more of the road coming through. My wife didn't really feel it and said it was quite comfortable.
Road noise is good although you know it's no Lexus.
A car of this size begs for the kind of torque that the TDI has. A firm press of the pedal brings positive results and overtaking is a calm affair with no fuss.
The CVT transmission isn't that bad but when you start off its a little sluggish to react.
Visibility is not bad but the rear view is more limited than a sedan. The high sitting does really give a nice commanding view.
All in all a nice ride.

i pumped 250pa for all 4.

Thought over pumped will result in uneven wearing out. Any advantage to over pumped?

Thought over pumped will result in uneven wearing out. Any advantage to over pumped?

Just personal preference, not considered over pumped. See the guide on driver's door up is 260 for rear if fully loaded. Tyre ratings on the tyre itself is more than that.

Cosmetic roof rails finally arrived after waiting for around 3 weeks! It came in gloss silver and I used my remaining plastidip matt black n glossifier to spray them 5 coats black and 2 coats glossifier. This rails are flat on roof and no screws are required. No worries as I have used 3m double sided tape to paste them. They are probably made of plastic and very light and make the car look slightly higher.

I got cosmetic roof rails for my QQ1.2T last year.. Secured using double sided tape. Easy to fix and quite safe & secure because the roof rails in my opinion have a lil bit of weight & sturdiness to them. If too light maybe easier to fly off due to wind resistance.

Improved overall look & height slightly, more proper SUV factor in the appearance, no regrets. You can easily search for one at Aliexpress.

Did my 1K at BT. 1st slot at 8.30am and finished in about 2 hours. You need to book in advance preferably 3-4 days, more days better cos high volume. Overall experience not bad. No need to pay unless you want to use synthetic oil. Reccomendation here for 1.2T is to use synthetic oil. Check with counter how to use DUO points.

Some updates to my earlier queries (in case anyone is interested):

�

1. DUO reward points - emailed them, got an email saying the account should be opened at time of purchase to be eligible, but credited my account with 50,000+ points anyway. Worth about S$200. Thanks guys!

�

2. �To get the Galactio GPS to continuously display the current location without routing, press the "Navi" button at the bottom left.

�

3. �I am now at Ubi service centre for 1,000 km servicing. Turned up without appointment at 7.34 am. Was told to book about 2 weeks in advance. Got queue number 2002 and was told those with appointments will be attended to first. Those with appointment were served almost immediately when they come. I had to wait one hour before my number was called. There is shuttle bus service provided to Eunos MRT but since I was told it will take only about 2 hours, I decided to wait. Food and drinks provided. The container says "Fried Mee Hoon - Halal" but I saw people eating nasi lemak. Ubi servicing starts 8 am.

�

Hi Mred1-2,

�

Indeed personal preference but mentioned 260Kpa is only for rear as you had mentioned with front still at 230 regardless 1-3 or fully load with 3-5 pax

�

I oreli cheated a bit with 240kpa for all 4 tyres instead of 250kpa since 4 pax only during weekend and it is not only wear n tear of tyre but overflated tyre is also a safety concern with less than designed surface contact but sure, higher FC and more noisy as compared of higher tyre pressure.

�

Cheers.

�

Richard

Thought over pumped will result in uneven wearing out. Any advantage to over pumped?

�

�

Pocy,

�

Guess there are bros who wish for best FC and less noise due to less than designed surface contact but I would advise otherwise cos it is a not only a tyre premature issue but safety issue especially for wet condition when you need all the surface contact that you can get ... within design limits of course.

Cheers.

But this guarantees no steering control needed that can cost SGD200 and it also seems to be 100% compatible as seen from FM display in the car computer. �Not half but probably 1/3 more expensive ...... please see below.

This dual OS wince+android tiong in my previous post is now SGD400+, steering control is SGD200 but cannot see FM channels in car computers or total of SGD600. �Actually our stock but locked up version of Szzest ZT-N8032 wince OS headunit is also oreli SGD400+ and now in fact slightly more expensive ...haha !!

Me same same- 240 for all the 4 tyres. but does it make a difference between 240 and 250?
250 will be less noisy and better FC but safety is compromise?

Hi Dash1234,

Hi sn88,

Not sure how long ago you had collected your car as I was made aware that newer car are already with video disable deactivated.

We previously had the code to get into the HU settings that we can have this video disable deactivated but this is not shared outside the whatsapp group and certainly not here.

However, as �meemee had advised, cutting the pink input wire back to HU that is connected to the brake signal will certainly deactivate video disable and this is a standard practice for all installers and not new.

You would be surprise that at 10k you need to pay for the synthetic oil when most AD offer for free.

Now you understand why TCIL make lots of profit as a listed company on HK stock exchange.

�

Tan Chong Motor Sales S'pore is one of the biggie contributors to their profit pool. TC S'pore clearly knows how to cut cost and hence max out their profits. There is no free lunch out there.

Bringing your own synthetic oil is a smartie idea. �

So guys, for QQ 1.2T the air pressure for stock tires is 230 psi?

�

Thanks

Remember 230/210 kpa is the front /back tyre pressure based on 1-3 pp.

�

230/260 kpa is for loads with 4-5 pp.

�

If you go over bumps regularly especially driving in hdb ground carparks, then best to check your tyre pressure more frequently.

Did they allow you to bring your own oil without any extra cost? How much litre and what synthetic oil did you bring? Is 4l enough?

First one�on top left should be 2014 X-Trail which i think someone suggest to choose in earlier post.

Last one at bottom right should be 2016 Qashqai.

Even google translate did quite a good job for "Nissan X-trail" and "Nissan Qashqai" but get your evidence from the China sites:

Hi Kohanson,

Seller clarified with one of the whatsapp bro that top left xtrail 2014+ and qasqhqai 2016 are the same but no, I make 2 orders of almost 40 pcs for MO with top left xtrail 2014+ one and all received worked fine with 40 happy whatsapp bros.

I recommend you also choose the top left xtrail 2014+ cos validated even though qashqai 2016 one should also be the same.

Cheers.

Does it matter on installing on which side? is there a difference?

Hi Markzhou,

Recommend fixing under driver seat to avoid localisation the subwoofer else i.e. hear low bass note from left even though low notes are supposed to be non directional. This is especially if some bros like to raise the volume of the sub to unrealistic level for such a sub that cannt really produce very low frequency bass.

If you have processor thst can time align, it would then not matter as much.

Cheers.

I'm surprised TC lets you bring your own engine oil, given that Motor Image, which is also owned by TCIL, doesn't unless you're willing to void your warranty (which of course is absurd).

Just to share with everyone..

�

After driving my QQ 1.2 for a few months, there was this plastic rattling sound coming from around the glove box area when the car was moving and it is especially hearable over a rough road surface. When I took out my empty glove box, the sound stopped.

�

So I started some troubleshootings by pressing at the support which holds the glove box and indeed sound can be heard. Next, I checked that the 2 screws which can be seen near to the glove box are tightly screwed (which everyone would try) but to no avail. Then it hits me that the screws might be tightened too much and I loosen them a bit. Amazingly, the plastic rattling sound stopped. �

I have a dual USB port adapter plug constantly plugged into the cigarette lighter socket. There is a small blue power indicator light that is constantly on, even when the engine is off. I reckon the power consumption should be small so I don't bother to unplug it. In my previously car, constant plugging & unplugging damaged my adapter plug.

So far so good. Maybe my battery will die faster but I don't think so.

It may be just me, but I always felt the new smart car with all those gadgets will demand a lot from the battery. My first battery die at 11 months, so I changed to a bigger capacity hopeful to achieve a better interval. My old car battery last for 3 years, but not so smart.

Thanks! I just tested. Indeed, if you lock your car, the power to the cigarette lighter in the arm rest goes off after a while. The blue light on my USB adapter goes off. But the one at the front panel continues to be lighted, so there is still power there.

Agreed. Last time, my batteries last many years. But both my last three batteries did not last more than 15 months. But I was connecting multiple devices: car camera, GPS, mobile phone etc.

Just drove to Warehouse Mart in Benoi Road and managed to achieve 17.5 km per litre.

Hi all,

Just got my brown qq1.2 ride last week.

Couple of things wanna seek help.

1. Why the front wheel dust so quickly. Any solution to this? Does changing other brands of brake pad help?

2. Some min. strange noise coming from the suspension.

3. When I turn on Aircon, sometime it switch between outside air n intern air circulation. Does any1 have the same issue as me. This thing really irritating, sometime drive half way suddenly can smell outside air while driving.

4. Interested to improve the pick up.

5. Wanna fix roof rack like the 2l.

Appreciate any help from the senior members.

Cheers and have a nice day.

Mine is on average 12.5km per litre. 70-80% highway driving. I feel the pickup is much better than my previous 1.5 lancer ex. At the traffic light, I can always be at the front with hyundai/renault taxis, and motorcycles. The car is also quiet and comfortable.

Anyway, the best is to test drive and feel it. You may not feel the same like me.

13+ km/L for 70 highway/ 30 city driving.

How will u define underpowered?

For me, underpowered means driving up Benjamin Shears bridge with decreasing speed even with foot on accelerator. Not for our 1.2QQ cos still can accelerate easily upwards.

Hi future qq owners,

I just collected my magnetic red 1.2T qq at 1300 from ubi showroom today. It is a really exciting experience on getting a new car. Previously, I drove a 2nd hand chevrolet hatchback aveo5 manual somemore. Last time just came out to work so can only get a budget car. It's always my aspiration to get a better car and I made the choice of getting the qq. As of now, i am smitten by the car... both interior n exterior. I hope the journey with the car will be smooth going forward.

I like to comment my SE Ms Patrice for her efforts in helping to get my car. She is patient, accommodating and put in a little extra effort to make the deal smooth. When I first went to the showroom, no one came to serve me, maybe i dun look like able to own a car. She approached me with very amicable attitude and introduced the car to me. When my coe was secured, i was not able to go down to make payment due to work. To ensure I can collect my car asap, she came to my house to collect my cheque. After that, she had to rushed back to pick up her kids from tuition. Very good qualities of a sales person. Can see that she is sincere in helping to get me the car.
As she always said, I hope our relationship will be long term and she will be there to help.

Hi Littlegreenyoda

Bro, actual fuel consumption for my 1.2T is between 12-13 km/lit, about 70-80% highway driving.

I dunno what u mean exactly when u say "underpowered" but just to let u know I have gone up Genting Highlands at least 5-6 times in my QQ since I got it in Jan 2015, and I can go up the hill for km after km holding the speed around 50-60kmh (don't dare to go any faster coz its winding and not that eager to start contributing to the casinos..haha) at approx 2.5-3k rpm. Did on one occasion go up Genting with 4 passengers and some small pieces of luggage... Didn't have to floor the pedal or anything no did the car slide backwards haha... Keeping it at around 3000rpm, just slowly go up at speeds of 50-60 kmh.

Hope this helps.

Link for roof rack below; select the option with screw installation. I bought through ezbuy and fitment is 99% as I need to slightly file/sand 1 rear bracket to fit in.

For aircon, don't turn off the blower once u set to internal circulation.

Thanks a lot for the information.

My consumption hasn't been too good. 30% expressway, 70% city drive achieving 9km/L.
I am still on mineral oil at 600 km.
Is that the reason or it is normal?

My FC was actually better during run-in period due to a lighter foot.
U can try using the Fuel Economy 2 display as a reference to understand how ur vehicle behaves. When u release acc, fc bar goes max, and cruising at constant speed, the bar will hovers around 20+km/L.
U can also try using cruise control if traffic situations allow.

The result very erratic. Today was 12.
Anyone know what does average 1 & 2 means?
Can't be average speed, it is so Low.

Fuel Eco 1 is the overall average, keeps updating until u reset it.

Fuel Eco�2 is based on the current trip, the moment u start ur engine.

Hi Littlegreenyoda

Bro, actual fuel consumption for my 1.2T is between 12-13 km/lit, about 70-80% highway driving.

I dunno what u mean exactly when u say "underpowered" but just to let u know I have gone up Genting Highlands at least 5-6 times in my QQ since I got it in Jan 2015, and I can go up the hill for km after km holding the speed around 50-60kmh (don't dare to go any faster coz its winding and not that eager to start contributing to the casinos..haha) at approx 2.5-3k rpm. Did on one occasion go up Genting with 4 passengers and some small pieces of luggage... Didn't have to floor the pedal or anything no did the car slide backwards haha... Keeping it at around 3000rpm, just slowly go up at speeds of 50-60 kmh.

Hope this helps.

�

Thanks alot bro.

This is exactly what I'm worried about, flooring the accelerator when load is high. Coz always have to ferry people around and the back row, we can squeeze like 3 to 4 adults. Sometimes also sian one. some friends or relatives just very "buay zi dong" �type. Expect you to ferry them around coz short distance etc.�

I have been doing this since long ago. Divide the total km traveled by the amount of fuel filled up to full tank to find out the average FC for my driving habit and need. Each driver has a different habit and need, thus FC may vary individually. After 3-4 rounds, you will know your average FC. Cheers!

Yes, manual calculation is more accurate.

The FC meter reading is just for reference but the efficiency bar vs pedal is useful for those wanting to "know" their vehicle better.

Imo...if you are looking to drive 5 adults plus big loads over short distances frequently, you're better off getting a bigger cc car.

That said, i've driven 3 adults + 1 child over 60% highway 40% city and achieved 12/13kml. The main killer is gg up 4 lvls of mscp.

Expensive to get a bigger cc car. Don't really ferry them often but just that sometimes will have such cases.

Hi guys,

Does it feels underpowered?

�

Different people have different expectations. For a driver who usually drives 3+ litre cars, the QQ 1.2T is definitely underpowered. But for "normal" drivers like me, the car is not underpowered at all. I should add that I drove a Saab Turbo for many years, followed by my current 2.4 SUV for 9 years. The QQ 1.2T is fine for me.

�

However, there were occasions when the car was stationary at the junction, when I stepped on the accelerator, and the car was slow to take off, like there was insufficient power. I am not sure whether any of you had this experience. I am not sure how or why this happens.

�

The other complaint I have is the extremely weak horn, which is also kind of embarrassing. To me, the horn should be something that, if pressed hard, should scare the person/car in front. So, to me, the horn is definitely underpowered.

04 July 2016 - 05:52 PM

Yes the horn is really under power

04 July 2016 - 06:18 PM

For the horn, i changed mine at autobacs. Very simple and fast job.

�

FC wise, �mine's a 2.0 and getting about 14km/L now on this recent few tanks. 50% city 50% highway.

My cousin driving a 1.2, gets about 16km/L if doing mainly city driving. Can get 20-22km/L if do more of highway. Perhaps you guys want to try calculating manually as its more accurate than the meter on our dashboard. Reset the dashboard everytime you pump, then see how many km one tank can drive divided by the litres pumped in again. Use full tank to be more accurate.�

�

By the way, saw that QQ 1.2 starts from $110,800 now. Very good deal i feel in this coe pricing. Not sure what are the terms n conditions though.

Apart from what macrosszero said, there is this problem of voiding the car insurance, which many of us overlook or are not aware of. In the event of an accident, your insurance may not honour the claim. I am sure your insurance policy would have the following clause which is found in mine:

Seating Capacity

�

We will not pay for any accident, loss, damage, injury or legal responsibility if the number of people (including the driver) in your vehicle at the time of the accident is more than its legal seating capacity.

�

�

According to my Vehicle Registration Card, the passenger capacity is 4. So, total should be 5 only. I don't think they have any 2 or 3 child equals 1 adult allowance.

Hi all,

Just got my brown qq1.2 ride last week.

Couple of things wanna seek help.

1. Why the front wheel dust so quickly. Any solution to this? Does changing other brands of brake pad help?

2. Some min. strange noise coming from the suspension.

3. When I turn on Aircon, sometime it switch between outside air n intern air circulation. Does any1 have the same issue as me. This thing really irritating, sometime drive half way suddenly can smell outside air while driving.

4. Interested to improve the pick up.

5. Wanna fix roof rack like the 2l.

Appreciate any help from the senior members.

Cheers and have a nice day.

�

�

Hi Bblifeiz,

�

1. Spray rim to gun metal or black or change pad. Yes, brake pad helps but feel changes from stock more abrupt braking to more progressive braking like typical Jap cars instead of more conti cars ... there Nisbhoo, NiBk Vento etc. to choose from

�

2. Early morning when starting ?? �Some bros has it ... go get TC to oil it else typical�

�

3. Keep internal circulation and just switch off engine without switching off air con ... keep aircon around 20-23 degrees

�

4. �Ethrottle and go for Pivot 3 from my personal experience which has the least issue so far or one well learned whatsapp bro recommended sprinterbooster

�

5. �Many sellers available in taobao.

�

Cheers,

Thinking of getting the 1.2 turbo QQ. How's the actual fuel consumption like for normal driving in Singapore?

Does it feels underpowered?

�

Hi Littlegreenyoda,

Typical driver get 11-12km/l for 1.2 turbo and 10-11 km/l for 2.0 .... forget about extreme 90/10 hway/city or 10/90 hway/city or those who are on eco mode especially for 1.2 turbo or those who even switches off aircon.

Yes, 1.2 turbo often feel a bit slow to pick up and can be a struggle if you are in a hurry but most of whatsapp bro fix it with ethrottle for better response to get to max torque at 1.8k rpm faster. �

The 1.2 turbo is my CO's and I am driving equally slow estima 2.4 with also ethrottle .... �without ethrottle for both, 1.2 turbo is worse than estima 2.4 but both are 11+ sec from 0-100km/hr which already tell you something while noting these are SUV and MPV and not sedan hor.

The recommended ethrottle is pivot drive from Japan which I had for 8.5 yrs in previous car that I transferred to thr qashqai since 8 months back.

Cheers.

Tks bro! Just saved me a trip to cut-throat autobacs! Dun ask me how much I paid for LED lights and cabin lighting... haha...

Btw, u mentioned in another post that pivot3 gives u the least problems. Any comments on racechip ultimate? The pick-up is killing me! Haha... makes me appreciate my other beloved 1.3!

Hi Funkyhan,

Yes, I have the pivot 3 in both my 8.5 yr old estima since day 1 and as well as the qashqai ...the latter used for 8 month since car collection that I transferred from the previous sunny which was then also 8.5 yrs old. There are >>80 bros with ethrottles and 3 cases of freepower having defective units or harnesses and 1 case of rschip response still being investigated.

Thr racechip ultimate is a beast and used by several bros ...test drove the 1st one installed 10 months ago and it was no turning back. Pls note that there were cases of engine check lights turning on but nothing an ecu reset cannot resolve.

Unfortunately we do not have the 1.6 dig-t at 240Nm and 161 bhp compared to our 1.2 dig-T of 165Nm and 114 bhp or stick to the 2.0L if you do not wish for some inconvenience including 10 minutes of having to remove all these piggyback before service to avoid warranty void concern.

Cheers.

Richard

insurance policy. Is our AIG insurance tied to only TC workshop or any other AIG approved workshop?

Hi Mred1-2,

Not aware AIG is tied to only TC workshop but if we gotten AIG which is not the most competitive, why go other AIG approved workshops and not TC workshop to avoid mentioned non-warranty of not TC repairs ??

Hi Mred1-2,

I see ... then it is back to warranty void for the part repaired outside TC right ?? �Not sure where this is going to but again, would you warranty repair done by someone else ? Will stop any further discussion on this then.

Perhaps i'll help MeeMee out, the grounding points you've mentioned, found in 1.2Ls, can only be seen as such, with front bumper down.

Facing the front of our QQ, it's on our right hand side.

Without which, it's quite hard to spot from the top.

I wonder u latch the child lock and close the door hard, will it disengage? If it can be repeated it's best to have a video evidence to show to TC. Problem is this doesn't happens every time and we cant predict when. Guess I will highlight to TC the next time I'm there.

Why so trouble, just use any kind of tape such as cloth tape or masking tape to do the job.
The tape is to make sure the child lock will never disengage by itself. �

Simple & easy, go back TC just waste time and later they might create more problem in your QQ.

Yup tats what I did using a simple tape.
But there are many out there who doesn't know this issue and it might help a little to bring this up to TC as well as to prevent unnecessary accidents.

Hi everyone,

�

This is my very first post in the forum!

�

I just booked a Qashqai 1.2 DIG-T today! Guaranteed 4 bids COE but the sales guy was confident that can get within the next 2 bids. Delivery estimated by end July.

�

I'm driving a BMW E90 now so it's quite a bit of a downgrade for me but I'm fed up with donating money to my BMW workshop every other month. I'm not a boy racer type and the QQ was responsive enough for me even while speeding up and overtaking along Commonwealth Ave... (definitely went over the speed limit!) Wife remarked that I cannot drive in my usual BMW scumbag style anymore...�

�

I was eying the X-trail and Forester up to a few weeks ago when I sacked my maid and will not be having one in the near foreseeable future so it's just me and wife and kiddo... It was narrowed down to the Subaru XV downstairs (LK showroom), Honda Vezel and Nissan QQ but the latter won out cos I got too good a deal to pass.

�

Looking forward to getting my car!

Hi BCSChan,

�

Just my 2 cents .... stay with 5000k temp which is nearest to the DRL for our 1.2L to look stock and avoid TP ..keke.

�

Try the following ... also shown by Meemee ... �which is really bright and have longest throw cos it is the most power 55W available but it also means that it needs non preferred fan. �However, it is still a great choice for me cos I tried the cheaper USD45 30W type with ETI smd led but one failed after 5 months while this is reportedly using more lasting Philips smd leds:

What's Up Bros/Sis.

Been looking at the QQ 2.0 for the past 12 months and after I realise the price this round COE is the same as it was exactly 1 year ago, I realised I'm wasting my time for COE to drop any further. So decided to make the purchase one afternoon. My wife was surprised at how fast we decided lol.

�

Went with SE in Ubi who comes recommended. Managed to give only some of the freebies but not all. Excited to see how COE goes over next few bids to see if I made the right purchase. COE supply going up but demand also seem to be coming up. Hopefully can get my COE before car arrives end of next month. If any new owners here want to discuss prices / freebies, PM me. � Thanks to all the seniors for advice on freebies, etc. Helped in the nego.

I hope u got the one with the on/off button for the bluetooth obd cos the bluetooth obd stays on after u off the engine. Torque is an awesome app, only drawback is some lack at times (maybe 1~2sec) due to the bluetooth.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the advice.

I don't have WD-40 actually. So usually i will try from car detergent to car polish to clean off road tar, whatever I have in my arsenal. So far it works well. I will try Waxco if i encounter tougher or baked in road tar.

My child lock has disengaged on its own several times. I'm still trying to identify the sequence that causes this.�

One probably cause may be locking or unlocking the car using the remote key, or certain sequence of locking and unlocking. I'll update if I find the cause.

TC is definetly not competitive for servicing package but it gives us a ease of mind as QQ are still relatively new in the market, not many ws have the expertise. Many QQ owners have free npmp till 50k which is still some time to go..

Racechip ethrottle goes directly to throttle response. But no displays and just buttons. Depends your preference...

If you dont intend to fix RSchip, then go with pivot. Japan technology and proved years already....

NPMP is just a term for a package of 4 times servicing. Finish the 4 times liao and you want to continue with TC just buy another package loh... With the NPMP, they also throw in some freebies like brake pad etc...

�

Just be careful with servicing outside. TC servicing got this dunno what electronic tuning for the CVTs and turbos. Suppose to keep the car running efficiently. Outside workshop may not have...

�

Servicing Question:

�

The TC NPMP package looks very reasonable ($1,390 for 2 years/40k) compared to what I am paying for my bimmer servicing! What do most of the other owners do after 50k? Is TC competitive for subsequent servicing or do most people go to outside ws?�

Hi Obsuresg,

Sure can ... not too much and you can decide if fair but most whatspp bros are doing this front and rear bumper there while some bros simply diy roof rail especially.

Hi Richard,
I hope u got the one with the on/off button for the bluetooth obd cos the bluetooth obd stays on after u off the engine. Torque is an awesome app, only drawback is some lack at times (maybe 1~2sec) due to the bluetooth.

Have fun with ur new toy!

�

Hi Mred1-2,

�

Unfortunately the USD4 obd bluetooth is without on/off and show the on/off but still searching for any auto off ones.

�

All signals are quite instantaneously in my case except rpm seems erratic and goes from 700+ to 6k+ rpm :( which I disable.

�

Interesting with the engine load and turbo boost to see what is actually happening and coolant temp is also great to ensure that there is no overheating/leakage.

Please let me know if you can find obd bluetooth that auto shut down with no activities.

Cheers,

Richard

Hi Richard,

May I know where to get ethrottle and estimated price including installation?

Thanks.

Hi slxm,

Use most reliable pivot drive ethrottle seen so far on our 1.2L QQ and Mcwell is the champion for them at SGD350 or thereabout.

Thanks for replying. What are the relative merits of the different brands? Will it void warranty? Sorry I very noob...�

�

Hi Slxm,

�

Ethrottle does not void warranty and already >>80 bros in the 160 strength whatsapp group has it.

�

Freepower is cheap and looks like Pivot with digital display but occupies OBD socket which some does not like and need to have extension cable if more than one OBD modules for other function. From Taiwanese company and there were 2 confirmed bros with faulty unit or faulty harness

�

Pivot is most expensive and also occupies OBD socket. From Japanese company and I had just them for 8.5 and 9 years in my previous sunny now move to QQ for 8 months and my estima 2.4.

�

Racechip response is also expensive but we have MO at SGD300 but no digital display and arguably less attractive and does not use OBD socket which is preferred by some. �From Germany and not verified faulty units as yet out of about 40 bros with it.

�

There are other D1 spec, sprint booster, biltz etc. that I am not familiar with.

Get Pivot Drive from Mcwell ......

The stock brake pad is irritating and generating a lot of brake dusts. Many of them changed their pad to aftermarket brands while a couple of us sprayed their rims.

Sorry, regarding this, since there is actual drilling involved, would TC call this an unauthorised mod? I'm sure many have done it, and brought back to TC with no issue, just that if one day they want to enforce "the rules", do they have the "legal grounds" (for lack of a better term) to do so?

I just got my QQ yesterday, and I'm having some slight issues.

�

Feels like there's a lag before the car moves off from standstill, and when doing a u-turn and trying to gain power for the turn, it feels like stepping on the accelerator doesn't provide any power. I've experienced this feeling with ECO mode, with start/stop on, and with both ECO and start/stop off.

�

Is it:

(1) user problem (driving style, I've been driving for 9 years though)

(2) change in car characteristics

(3) new car, haven't break in yet

(4) not pressing the gas pedal hard enough

(5) need to install ethrottle

�

I'm only asking because other people seem to have complained about this before, and many have installed ethrottle, which I assume makes acceleration from standstill better.

�

I also experienced a complaint I read in this forum, which was that the aircon suddenly switched from internal cabin to external air. I switched off the auto and it seems to have stopped that. Maybe.

�

On a side note, just to share a bit of idiocy:

I got out of the car when parked, and tried to lock the car door. Car beeped many times, and wouldn't lock. Turns out I left the spare key in my bag in the car, and that caused the problem. Putz. :(

Lol... tat was funny on the last part. Yup either key in car or any doors not closed properly won't be locked. If bonnet is open, car doors can be locked but u will hear a continous beep sound.
For the moving off, there is a spilt sec delay, try stepping harder on the accelerator or observe the traffic and let car rolls a little before stepping on accelerator. And as long as u don't off the blower when u off the engine, it should stay in internal circulation.

Yes, that's exactly right. I was advised last time for the previous car that aircon should be off before car is switched off / switched on, so I had that habit of switching the aircon off before I switched off the engine for the QQ as well.

�

For the moving off, if there is a split second delay, is that cause enough to install ethrottle, assuming ethrottle fixes that issue? I was scared s***tless when I tried to do a u-turn and the car wasn't behaving how I expected it to (oncoming bus, yikes!)

�

For a new car, what's the acceptable RPM if trying to do a fast take off? I think I tried close to 4000RPM and even then, it felt sluggish.

U can press the a/c button to shut down the compressor instead of turning off the whole ac system.
If your delay in moving off last 2~3secs, stepping harder also cannot move during this instant, then ur ride may be affect by power loss. Go back to TC if this is the case.
Flooring acc immediately won't get this fat car shooting off, u need to gradually feel the "biting" point first before stepping harder.

Hi Richard (Lao Da)

�

Ok ok I confess, I was one of those 3 bros who encountered some "issues" with Freepower.� To be honest, I am until today missing those "good old days" when I had my FP as I do really really missed the smooth take-off which I enjoyed when I had it on inside my QQ.

�

My personal view (not scientific in any way and only the view of a "farmer") is that I had a unit which had some problems and coupled with our "sensitive" car, the problems happened.� To be fair, the supplier was willing to help me address me problems but I had to make the tough decision to forgo my dearly loved FP as I travel to M'sia often and didn't wanna risk having car problems while overseas.� If you ask me (again, I qualify that I am no engineer or scientist...just a simple farmer) I still think FP is fine.� Statistically, like you said, 37 out of 40 in our group (and I'm sure in the end there were more than 40) installed and only myself and 2 other bros had some issues, so I wouldn't go so far to say that FP "CMI".

�

Anyway, maybe you are lucky lor, maybe there are others with Pivot facing problems who have not made it known or are not in this forum...haha.� Life is like that one la... you win some, you lose some...

Hi Richard,

Use pivot drive will reduce FC or not ar?

Hi Mark,

Theoretically yes but power and response are addictive and never enuff.

You will end up about the same but will better response when you need it. If you are not heavy footed but was initially so because you tried to improve, you should improve FC. You leg cannot be more sensitive and controlled than the electronics but best part is that you can set the sensitivity.

When travelling on nshway, I just set to max for best response for safety and forget about FC.

Hi Candilious,
Don't mixed up the lag and power loss issues.
If power loss happens when moving off, car only crawls for a few secs no matter how hard u step acc, release/step again on acc also no use.

yup yes, I know the diff with power loss n lag. Had my fair share n shock during that time. Not teaching obscuresg how to deal with power loss, but rather telling him/her how he/she should be driving this car. Stepping hard on accelerator does not feed power to the engine, rather, during initial move off, he/she should be using the roll, tap, release, then press method. Like I said in my earlier post, TC should guve crash course on how to drive this beauty. I did find this method quite useful, although, at times, I'm still pressing hard in the pedal to chiong when lights turn green. Old habits die hard, been driving for 20 years liao.

Thanks for the advice. I'm a he btw. Hehe. Yeah I've discovered I need to change the way I drive. I got a pivot installed today and find that it makes the qq respond a bit better. The guy who installed it said I won't see a significant increase until I've broken the car in. Like you said, 5km.

I'm always nervous about voiding the warranty as you can see from my posts. But I thought this is an essential add on. Having said that, is it necessary to dismantle the pivot when bringing in for servicing? Including removing the harness? Advice please bros. thanks.

My FC was actually better during run-in period due to a lighter foot.
U can try using the Fuel Economy 2 display as a reference to understand how ur vehicle behaves. When u release acc, fc bar goes max, and cruising at constant speed, the bar will hovers around 20+km/L.
U can also try using cruise control if traffic situations allow.

I notice that fc is worse when on cruise. Think the reason is the engine brake cuts in when the speed goes above the cruise setting. This is usually when I'm going on a up slope which causes the cruise control to accelerate and the engine brake cuts in when going downhill.
Whereas we will normally just ease of the accelerator when we want to ease on the speed going downhill.

U r right. Cruise control works for FC to a certain extend on a long straight even road. Going up n down hill/slope u will need to use the +/- to override it. Like decreasing the speed by 1kmh slowly when going up slope to prevent unnecessary acceleration. Engine brake wont cut in if u increase the speed by 1kmh increment when going downwards. Pls do only when traffic conditions allow.
To add further, cornering with cruise control on is VERY dangerous.

This is actually good for ppl who know where to get better aftermarket addons. Cheaper and better quality.

Similar to adventure series which costs $3k more for bumper, subwoofer and side stickers. Subwoofer $95 after duo points and the bumper n stickers from taobao, etc. All for a few hundreds only.

Remove all sd cards (including gps map card) and usb device. Under the gps card slot there is a small pin hole reset. Try it and see how, if it works put back the sdcard and usb device one by one. Sometimes a faulty card can cause havoc.
If all fails bring back TC they will exchange new HU for u but do call in advance to know the radioman timing.

Confirm more macho. So far used a few times and the stock fuse still able to withstand, no problem. U will need a splitter to join 1 more horn and find another place to add 1 bracket.
They are dual tones horns, 1 high tone and 1 low tone. Our stock is high tone.

Can some kind soul explain the what is eThrottle and pivot?

�

Not sure if this is the right explanation, but this is my interpretation.

�

You know how on your laptop you can use the control panel to adjust the sensitivity of how the trackpad responds to your finger movements? eThrottle controls the sensitivity of how the accelerator responds to your pressure on the accelerator.

�

According to https://en.wikipedia...hrottle_control, the eThrottle does much more than that, taking into account other factors as well, to control torque management.

�

Pivot is a brand from Japan that manufactures an electronic throttle controller.

Hi

Where you get your rim spray? Costrich and time needed. Thinking of spraying my rim when I get my car.
The stock brake pad is irritating and generating a lot of brake dusts. Many of them changed their pad to aftermarket brands while a couple of us sprayed their rims.

Sprayed mine to gunmetal bronze, a lighter shade of gunmetal.

Thanks for the advice. I'm a he btw. Hehe. Yeah I've discovered I need to change the way I drive. I got a pivot installed today and find that it makes the qq respond a bit better. The guy who installed it said I won't see a significant increase until I've broken the car in. Like you said, 5km.

I'm always nervous about voiding the warranty as you can see from my posts. But I thought this is an essential add on. Having said that, is it necessary to dismantle the pivot when bringing in for servicing? Including removing the harness? Advice please bros. thanks.

�

hi Obsuresg,

�

No need to remove for servicing .... >>50% of 170+ whatsapp bros has various brands of ethrottle fixed without any concern raised nor even noted on service sheet.

Dun think any change on increase of response unless you adjust higher sensitivity and not aware of any break-in period of our ride after the first 1k km or less.

Thanks for all the responses Richard. Still new to all this, so appreciate all the answers.

Right now, I find that from total standstill, if I step hard(er) on the accelerator, the car really doesn't start to accelerate till about 1 to 1.5 seconds later. I find this really scary if I'm trying to turn into a major road. I know the advice from other bros is to step off the brake, let it roll a bit then step on the gas. Is that how every QQ driver drives? It seems like it's impossible to do a quick cut into a merging lane if the car is at a total stop.

Hi Obscuresg,

�

I know what you are referring to but I guess it is more than 0.5 sec cos 1 to 1.5 second is very long ... a top performing car can go 0-100km in <4 seconds :)

�

Believe it is also your previous ride and experience �.... Guess you had not driven the prior sunny 1.6L which is similarly lacking in response and the QQ is a 1.2 engine with 1.3k ton which results with a bit of lag especially if loaded with 4 or 5 adults until max torque comes at 1.8k rpm ...hence one bro recommended you to step on accelerator and than back off for fraction of a second before stepping on the accelerator again since flooring it does not get you any better response before initial inertia is overcome ... only loud engine roar and poor FC.

�

Fix ethrottle or meet up with any QQ bro with ethrottle to see the difference ... not day and night but better response for sure and perfectly fine with a bit of managed expectation and mentioned avoidance of flooring the accelerator ... and enjoy the ride which I certainly do and dun even drive my estima over the weekend which should tell you that it is really not as bad as pictured.

Hi Richard. I fixed the pivot drive on Friday at Mcwell. The guy said come I show you the difference. The he set at SP5 and SP7 and was surprised that it didn't really show as much difference as he expected it to when he pressed the accelerator. I do feel a slight difference but I'm just wondering if there's something wrong with the car or some setting they need to adjust. Either way I'm bringing it in on Wednesday for my faulty head unit and I'll ask them about it. Thanks.

No, it will not respond positively even you floored it cos it just does not have the torque/weight ratio but let go of your accelerator for fraction of second to allow momentum to overcome the inertia and further accelerator is brisk and fine.

What exactly is the Eco mode for?

11 July 2016 - 12:42 PM

What exactly is the Eco mode for?

�

Suppose to be more economical on fuel.

It's for lower rpm drivability which hovers around 2k rpm and below.

You really need to floor the pedal to reach 3k rpm when you need to overtake.

11 July 2016 - 12:54 PM
obscuresg

Thanks for all the advice on the board. Tried my colleague's QQ 1.2 and it's essentially the same.

�

Now I understand why there were so many conflicting opinions about whether the 1.2 is underpowered. At the end of the day, it really depends on the driver's past driving experiences and expectations.

�

In other countries, a test drive could really let the buyer test the car in several different conditions. Here, we get a brief loop around, and that really isn't enough. Anyway, I'll just have to get used to the car, and maybe in time, I'll wonder why it even bothered me in the first place.

It's a nice car. Looks good. Just not what I'm used to.

By right yes which also depends on the way you drive and traffic conditions. Maybe in jams, move/stop situations will help improve a little as it don't let the rpm jumps above 2k readily if you tend to have a heavy foot.

Some bros here don't find it useful�nor having any FC improvement�and it made the ride more sluggish. I myself do not use it for the same reason. ?

The eco mode works the same way as a ethrottle, it just modify the pedal sensitivity to the throttle by adjusting the voltage signal sent.

The Ds mode however I think changes the gear ratio abit so the car would become more "punchy".

I agree with Richard. Bros who were not on CVT previously will takes a bit of time getting use to it. And yes you need to overcome the inertia from static and thereafter picking up will be swift. It's all about weight and forces. If on 4 small wheels might get better moving off but who wants that. Just keep some distance for rolling then Teo gas and off it goes. I was previously on a 2 lit in line 6, they just behaves differently.

Hi, what's the cost for this mesh? Is it readily stock or indent?

Hey guys need some help here.

My head unit has been acting strange fort the past 2 months. Every time it starts up it asks me if i want to continue my journey to a destination I keyed in 2 months ago. Even when I change the language of the voice or if I change certain settings it will only remember the settings I keyed in that fateful day two months ago.

Tried the different reset buttons but no difference! Realise that there is no hard reset either!

Can someone help please? Thanks!

Hi,

�

There is a qashkai on auction list and looks like previous owner never paid road tax since 2014.......is it worthwhile to bid on the car assuming its reasonable fine and I could get insurance in the first place? would LTA allow ownership transfer?

�

Any advise???

�

Hi Ayre,

�

You may want to try Aestmold at 23 Geylang Lorong 11 for very similar looking one for <=SGD90 which we call Design A

�

A bit more aggressive is Design B where mesh in front of the bumper but need to cut off center lips and it is SGD140 but this does not collect leaves like Design A ... �which we fondly call the leave collector.

�

There is also clip on ones like Design B now from TaoBao which is about SGD70 including shipping and you can diy yourself.

�

In summary, choices galore but highly recommended to do this earlier than later before the fins of your radiator and intercooler get damaged from flying stones and pebbles.

Cheer,

�

Hi Fi5hbone,

�

Why not go back to TC to get the HU vendor fix it ??

�

There should be hard reset under one of the flap where there is a tiny hole that you need a needle to hard reset but I could be wrong cos change my HU some time back.

�

Going back to TC should be your first choice but you can always buy mine that had been taken out ...keke.

Thanks for all the advice on the board. Tried my colleague's QQ 1.2 and it's essentially the same.

�

Now I understand why there were so many conflicting opinions about whether the 1.2 is underpowered. At the end of the day, it really depends on the driver's past driving experiences and expectations.

�

In other countries, a test drive could really let the buyer test the car in several different conditions. Here, we get a brief loop around, and that really isn't enough. Anyway, I'll just have to get used to the car, and maybe in time, I'll wonder why it even bothered me in the first place.

�

It's a nice car. Looks good. Just not what I'm used to.

�

�

Hi Obscuresg,

�

Yes, it is not the greatest sprinter and not mean for chiongster ... hence your feeling.

�

Ethrottle helps and piggybacks like Racechip Ultimate, TDI, RSchip etc. are how some bros overcome this to turn the 1.2L dig-T to be a beast what no Vezel can keep up with ... albeit piggybacks need to be removed before service due to high chance of warranty of engine and associated components being void.

�

Glad you accepted as is ...

Hi Funkyhan,

�

Believe all done within safety margins by tuner who also need to provide typical 2 year warranty but indeed must have "scare dun mod, mod dun scare" attitude especially since such piggybacks do void warranty.

�

However, this is also not for chiongster only but for those who wants a bit more comfort with less stressed engine and greater safety assured with better power on the tap to get out of tricky situations

There are also other good practices like keeping to Oct98 since air-fuel mixture had been leaned out, cooling off turbo for few minutes before switching off engine if you had driven hard e.g. on nshway (unfortunately turbo timer does not work with our press start Qashqai and would appreciate advice from any bros who had added successfully) etc.

Hi Richard,

I meant the combination of both ethrottle + piggyback - would it overstress the puny turbo? Not too sure on the mechanics. I thought of choosing either one. I am leaning more towards racechip ultimate currently. I def belong to the "mod dun scare" camp! Haha...

Thanks for the advice!

Bro, yes.. stock remote means continuing to use your current car keys (so no need to carry an additional Steelmate remote on top of your car key).� Richard and I both did it last Oct or so... for me it's worked fine and I have enjoyed having it...cost approx. $160 I think, including installation.

Hu Funkyhan,

Ethrottle and biggyback are complementary and ethrottle does not stress the turbo but yes, piggyback like ulitmate and tdi do so ..within hopefully mentioned safety margins.

Rschip does not boost turbo but if indeed can get same effects as ultimate, tdi etc. that does, I would be more concerned that they push other less effective areas too much.

Hence I always recommend that if you want max effectiveness for turbo car, go for one that boost turbo like racechip ultimate, tdi etc. If NA, no point going for one that does and stick rschip.

Cheers.

Hi Everyone,

Got my COE after 2nd time bidding 22/6 and collected my bronze QQ with black & brown interior on 1/7. The QQ which i last test drove (3rd time of test driving, at different TC) was also of this combination (where i've already decided beforehand) and i find it interesting and nice. Even though i know it may sound ugly, but i find QQ can carry it and indeed it did.

By the way, like to thank all Bro & Sis for contributing in the Forum where i learnt a lot about the car.

Like to share that apart from what i read which are to me quite standard accessories:
1) Front & back recording camera (i got Papago 360)
2) Solar film
3) Floor mat - i actually ask for 1 more for the car boot

In addition, i asked for the below items where SE (Ernest from Leng Kee) agreed without much hesitation.
4) auto-fold mirror
5) change antennae to shark fin type
6) change horn

Solar film - i wanted to have darker tint since it's my first new car and inspection is only in 3yrs time. But from Nissan, they can only do within legal limits. After i asked any way to do it, SE say will deduct $300 from purchase price and he will take my car (with my permission) to do darker tint and i paid $350 for it.

Duo points - SE automatically helped me to sign up on day of purchase.

Got SE to help arrange for the logos to be removed for me to bring back to spray black then bring back to install before car collection. Labour charge of $50 payable plus install back.

I had asked for subwoofer but he say really can't include but if i want, he's willing to share half the cost which i find he's sincere in doing my business (importantly he's not those 'sales talk' type) and so i paid $150. I didn't search on subwoofer but i feel to get it at $150 should be quite worthwhile.

Also, after reading about loose wirings which had caused rattling sound for some Bros here, i asked SE to help to inform all technicians to ensure wirings and connectors are properly secured. Hopefully it's been done properly.

Plus, i asked for the system to be upgraded to the latest version. Not sure if it's SOP before collection of car.

I didn't test the horn during test drive but as i read comments that it's a bit 'guniang' and i didn't regret requesting for the change. I happen to be there when the techinician is installing the horn and he told me that the set that he's installing comes with 2 horns where original is just 1 horn.

Even though i didn't have my car initially with the original antennae but comparing with my previous Latio, i find the shark fin antennae reception isn't as good.

Anyway, have been driving for about 2 weeks but still doing run-in (not sure if got others doing it) so can't really 'play' with my car. Can't wait for after 1st servicing to feel the performance. So far have been enjoying my ride like everyone here!

Hi Ron,

Sorry for the typo error and yes, steelmate 838ii and yes, no addtional remote key and just keep to stock remote.

Sgd160 includes installation at zmc or sgcargarage but you can get online for any car accessories shops like Vim or if not aestmod to do so probably aeound sgd50-60 but do call them first.

Meemee,

Why you need this ?

�

This is simply n analog to digital converter and digital to analog converter.

�

If the connection is analog RCA, it means that it had already been converted since sources like CD, DVD and music files are digital and only exception is our FM which is analog by its technology. �This is the reason why we strive for digital output to avoid this conversion in the headunit in the first place and hence my rarest tiong android+wince dual OS HU with hdmi digital output.

If you are thinking of getting this for converting analog RCA of headunit to processor, there is little point to do so since your processor is already with such analog to digital converter to do so before all the processing of time-delay, gain setting, crossover setting etc. �If you are thinking that this is better quality than the analog to digital converter in the processor, it may be the case but having another component in the path may cancel off any positive impact of this better quality analog to digital converter.

�

Yes, Audio Authority is a well known brand but these are not exactly a hi fidelity component without even SNR and distortion specification stated that your Helix processor would have.

�

In theory, you can mod any HU or CD player etc. without digital output to include one but it is pretty technical and need technical experts to do so and the link below is one example to read more on:

My head unit don't have the optical output
and thinking this may come handy.

Convert analog to optical - then to the processor

Apologies for deviating a little.

For our QQ, the exact tyre size is kinda difficult to find. Do Bros here have lobang or settle for other combination.

Also as one bro here just encountered a battery failure, how Long is the batt warranty? I understand that our battery is not the normal type but the enhanced flooded type so is not cheap.

Any bro here tried the glass mat GM type battery?

Hi guys,

�

Thanks for all the replies. A bit confused now cos my SE made no mention of DUO even when I paid up the remaining amount yesterday. I read about DUO in this forum and whatsapp him last night to ask about it and he claims that I am not entitled to it. Reason given was that I did not pay the full price of $119,800�

�

Mine was for 4 bid G COE. I have written in to the DUO team and asked their management to call me. Not buying the SE's explanation.

�

Looking back at a forummer Lee9389ck's post in April 16 I think I shall pursue with the DUO team..

�

DUO points will be credited for purchase after successful COE. Not for booking fee.

�

My COE was secured during last round bidding and I just paid up my balance yesterday.

�

�

My understanding is that G COE will have DUO points while NG will not have.

�

However, read some posts here and there that there are some people�who are on NG and emailed�to ask for the points and got them. Not sure if real�or csb.�Can try if you want.

Hi slxm,

SE registered DUO points for me after i made the deposit. I liked Nissan after driving Latio for 5 years because i find Nissan interior finishing isn't those 'plasticky' type...my personal thoughts

Hi EricChan

I think all future bros should just go direct to the duo team to have their points issue settled and forget about asking the SEs...haha.�

Remember, the duo points given to us is a "reward or recognition" for ownership, and not an "incentive or encouragement" to us to sign on the dotted line to buy the QQ...so I think it is nonsense when the SEs "explain" that some are not entitled to duo points if they chose the non-guaranteed 6-bid option, didn't take full loan, receive other freebies or some other silly excuses...haha.

No reason why we should forego something we are fully entitled to, for buying our QQs.

Anyway, bro Eric...no thanks is needed and I hope you will enjoy redeeming stuff, perhaps�subwoofer�?...haha

Hi there,
Just to enquire about the DUO points, my SE claimed that I won't have any DUO points and will only get it from subsequent purchases. Is that true?? I notice that you mentioned Latio so maybe you got it because it's your second Nissan purchase?

you can email the DUO team for the points after making your balance payment. Different SE havs different version of their DUO pts programme. Think they are not properly briefed in this matter.

I just got a reply from the DUO team, they are very responsive. Indeed they have confirmed that I am entitled to it but will have to wait until I get my car registration details next week.

�

I find it strange that the sales people are not properly briefed about this DUO program as it is essentially another sales tool to add into their pocket. Eg DUO$50,000 will give you a $200 full service voucher that could be used to offset the $1,488 NPMP.... or like what some other forummers do in adding a sub woofer etc.�

Hi Richard_crl032

Can you post a photo of Design B. I'm looking to install the mesh and would like to make a comparison.

�

Thank you very much!

�

Hi Ayre,

�

You may want to try Aestmold at 23 Geylang Lorong 11 for very similar looking one for <=SGD90 which we call Design A

�

A bit more aggressive is Design B where mesh in front of the bumper but need to cut off center lips and it is SGD140 but this does not collect leaves like Design A ... �which we fondly call the leave collector.

�

There is also clip on ones like Design B now from TaoBao which is about SGD70 including shipping and you can diy yourself.

�

In summary, choices galore but highly recommended to do this earlier than later before the fins of your radiator and intercooler get damaged from flying stones and pebbles.

Cheer,

However, read some posts here and there that there are some people who are on NG and emailed to ask for the points and got them. Not sure if real or csb. Can try if you want.

Hi Cloudfrre,

Csb one ...all purchases entitled to duo reward pointd regardless guaranteed ot non guaranteed COE.

Points is not the 50k+ points worth about the sgd250 but that I should have it since my entitlement ... else feel suckered which I dun like.

For our QQ, the exact tyre size is kinda difficult to find. Do Bros here have lobang or settle for other combination.

Also as one bro here just encountered a battery failure, how Long is the batt warranty? I understand that our battery is not the normal type but the enhanced flooded type so is not cheap.

Any bro here tried the glass mat GM type battery?

Hello Richard,

�

Thank you for the kind advice and sharing as always. Apology for not being clear with my first question - What I meant to ask was that when the autolock get activated, would the passengers be able to unlock the door from inside the cabin or do we still need to activate the child lock?�

16 July 2016 - 12:36 AM

Bro able to lock from inside? If I unlock to drop off my passenger, will it auto lock again when move off? Can share where to order and install? Thanks!

The door will auto lock once the car reaches 12km/h and above. Yes, it will lock again after you unlock and drop off passenger. Anyway no need to unlock because our car can just open door from inside even though it is locked.

I ordered from the taobao link share by bro richard. Installation is just less than 1 minute where you pull out the panel below the steering column and just plug the obd auto lock module into the socket. Think should cost below $30 with shipping.

I just change to Michelin Primacy ST3 235/55x17 its same diameter as our 215/60x17 so never affect the speedo reading.

Do we need to change rim size for this? By the way is there a calculator for this? Sorry am new here please forgive me if it has already been discussed

Hmm... from my understanding, lite version has no leather seats (fabric seats), no touch screen infotainment (only normal radio) and hence, no reverse camera as well.

Do correct me if I am wrong

I'm a soon to be QQ owner (collecting next week) and have drove a 2009 Astra 1.6L some time back. You get a sense of safety and quality as with other German cars.. you slam the door and you have the shiok solid thud instead of the tin can sound. I was fortunate that it did not give me any problems during the time I owned it. However the steptronic gearbox was a pain to drive, something like the Alfa Romeo Selespeed. I believe this 1.0L easytronic is something like that also. Other than that can't say much about the new Astra other than �if you feel the 1.2L QQ is underpowered then 1.0L seems worse!

The horn seems not very loud, did your SE give you freebies for extra horn?

Just installed the Ultra Gauge yesterday at Godspeed. Looks good and now I know my exact coolant temperature for the car. It also shows my intake temp, voltage for battery, boost for turbo and torque. There are many more gauges to select but these are the ones I prefer to view. Anyway the boost seems to idle at -1 and 0 when I Am idle which i think could be wrong. Max boost reached 60+ When I floored the pedal but not really sure If the readings are correct. At least I know when my turbo is at max boost when driving. The readings are from ecu so it will not be as precise as those Defi meters. No oil temp, oil pressure, for this gauge.

The other installation was on the car shades. Cost 100 for 6 pieces which I think is reasonable and bought from carousell. No brand for this shades though. There are magnets to attach the shades but i have slot them into the windows so on the long run when closing the door, it will not affect the doors' rubber seal. Need to get use to the half shades for driver and passenger side as there is a thick black frame blocking your view. Other than that, it is quite good in keeping the cabin temperature cool and block out some of the sunlight.

Hi Mcfsg,

Please clean surface of oil, dirt etc. and use 3M primer especially for ends and curved surfaces e.g. trims for side mirror and you are good to go ! �

Just ensure you clean of excessive primer immediately else dirt sticks on it and also harder to remove over time.

Hey Freddiefreako,

No problem but unfortunately no ...passengers especially children in concern still can open from inner unless the tedious child lock is used.

The issue here is the lock system designed as well as the software logic but primarily the later. They can easily change to existing superlock function that deactivate the lock and if you have the 2.0l which is without superlock, you can change the physical locks to tiong ones which catch like typical Jap cars. I bought the complete tiong qashqai locks system and had tried them but still cannot resolve the 1.2L one.

Cheers.

HID, LED or bulb with temperate higher than 4.3k (iirc) are illegal.

�

But thing for LED is plug n play.. easier to revert. For the headlight design of QQ, actually easy to change and no need worry abt what type of LED design to pick (heatsink with fan or fanless) cos there is no dust cover just plug in and leave the heatsink outside.

For my ride, I bought a LED bulb but due to design, I have a adapter to hold the original halogen bulb in place where the 2 pin to be inserted on adapter and then will lock the adapter in place.

�

With the design of LED bulb, i can connect the bulb to adapter but i cannot clip it in place as its bulb -> heatsink/heatstrip -> driver->PIN.

�

Last resort is to use the dust cover to hold the bulb in place after i close it due to the length. But then it is too long to even close the dust cover lol FML

�

Had to order another dust cover to drill hole for the heatstrips/heatsink to come out so i can close the dust cover. By doing that, it should also hold the bulb in place.

Hi Richard,

�

Thanks for the info.

�

The problem with my ride design is that it requires additional adapter to hold bulb in place and there is a dust cover to cover the whole headlight compartment.

�

Now, my LED bulb cannot use the adapter to clip �the bulb in place and after fitting the bulb into the low beam compartment, I cannot close back the dust cover as it is too long lol. FML

�

I should had gotten this which is much shorter at the back, around 22MM as compared to my current one which is around 35mm.

�

http://www.ebay.com/...xp=mtr#rpdCntId

�

Nevertheless, it should just take a bit of DIY to drill a hole in the dust cover to let the heatsink and heatstrip out from the center of the dust cover such that I can close the dust cover. Waiting for my item to arrive by Thursday. hehe.

Hi Nitro1310,

�

Any accessory shop e.g. VIM will change it for you .... Philips Diamond Vision or Osram Night Breaker ... either designed H8 or even H11 fits ... 5k temp whiteness. Aestmod at 23 Geylang Lorong 11 does not have Philips or Osram and only some cheap dun know what brand ones but only 6.5k temp and above.

�

Not so easy to diy if you do not know why as compared to low beam H11 that can be done easily without breaking any sweat.

�

Cheers,

�

Richard

�

Hi Robtot,

�

That is to the alternator negative for grounding. �The other 2 grounding are to engine block ... all done by Jackie.

�

2 elusive and outstanding grounding are to the starter and compressor ....... high current drawing components which such grounding will contribute more.

�

Cheers,

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the info.

The problem with my ride design is that it requires additional adapter to hold bulb in place and there is a dust cover to cover the whole headlight compartment.

Now, my LED bulb cannot use the adapter to clip the bulb in place and after fitting the bulb into the low beam compartment, I cannot close back the dust cover as it is too long lol. FML

I should had gotten this which is much shorter at the back, around 22MM as compared to my current one which is around 35mm.

http://www.ebay.com/...xp=mtr#rpdCntId

Nevertheless, it should just take a bit of DIY to drill a hole in the dust cover to let the heatsink and heatstrip out from the center of the dust cover such that I can close the dust cover. Waiting for my item to arrive by Thursday. hehe.

Hi Enzomatrix,

Your ride is not qashqai ??

If you had bought H11 used in qashqai ..paiseh but still dun understand why you have this issue ..but seems like you did not buy required H11 or your ride is ot qashqai.

Thanks for clearing up up confusion.

You must have gotten the wrong H? headlight bulb and should check your manual or google the right one for your car.

With the bulb and forcifully using it, it may intro water leakage and worse electric shorts.

Test drove a number of SUVs like

Volvo XC60 - very powerful, no budget

Hyundai Tucson - engine roars very loud even after the pedal is released, interior is very plastic

Bro, you looking at 2.0? Still have Kia Sportage, Subaru Forester, CRV, X-trail and Outlander......

�

I am driving 1.2T and so far so good... Save on road tax at $406 per year... Small turbo is fine and with add-ons.

�

1 of the main reasons that I choose QQ over Vezel is that QQ is much quieter, nice design, full accessories (GPS, 8' inche HU, cruise control). And vezel dont show water temp....

My personal view only hor.... No offenses to others.

Get to know from Vezel owners that the insulation is very bad, therefore you can hear rain drop noise.

Also too many on the road liao. �My wife likes it due to the hidden handle and rear seat design.

�

Kia Sportage looks ugly in the grille, hopes their designer can do something signature and nice to this brand.

Subaru Forester is a drinker, design also not nice in front.

CRV is 2.4L, too much for me, design at the rear looks funny.

X-Trail also Nissan lei, 7 seater not for me.

Outlander is 2.4L too.

�

So in the end Qashqai 2.0 with 200 Torque is good especially for pickup.

�

Worried about Qashqai 1.2T, any problem pulling full load?

What about the features compared to 2.0 premium, same?

no la bro, actually its the design of my headlight. I got the right size but with dust cover, it is hard to guage whether the bulb can feed or need to drill hole. Just take some DIY to fix it.

20 July 2016 - 11:43 AM
Enzomatrix

H7.

�

for normal vehicle, it comes with a metal clip to clip the bulb in place.

�

�

But for mine, it comes with the below with 2 holes for H7 power socket connection directly to the bulb. Once connected, you will twist to lock the bulb in place. And you know that the design of LED bulb with headsink/strips and the driver, you can never connect that to this adapter and lock it in place. The only way I can put it in place is to use the dust cover to hold it since the bulb is very long. However in my case, the bulb is so long to the extend that I cannot even close the dust cover. Hence I will have to drill a hole to let part of the heatsink/strip out in order to cover it back. By doing this, it will also hold the bulb in place actually.

Hi MadDog70,

�

With lower pricing as in some recent case, 2.0L seems good deal with many feature that cannot be modded or very difficult to mod:

�

- Torque and Power .... even those with ecu piggyback mod is about there or slightly lower

- LED headlights ... fully enclosed and nice looking

- Independent rear suspension .... no money can mod this one and obvious difference when loaded and over hump

- Moon roof .... money can mod but at your own risk with leak etc. �... actually even stock can give problem due to aged sealing and if not assembled well

- no irritating stop-start ... hurray !!

�

For other differences like electric driver seats, rim/tyres etc., please refer to part 1 thread since already mentioned.

Hi MadDog,

There is hi end SUV, mid-tier SUV and low priced SUV.

�

Our qashqai is clearly low prices SUV but fights well in its class and beyond in terms of comfort and ride as well as arguably good looks ... Vezel looks odd especially from rear on its sad clown-like rear lighting though the vezel hybrid is much better with BMW's lookalike led strips albeit a bit unclear and fuzzy.

�

No regret and rather have the $ to mod and enjoy the process while enjoying the ride and comfort.

�

Yeah better buy.....

�

Hi Defcom81,

�

Alternative is for thick 3M or even 3A rubber mat in rich black color that is arguable more classy and cleaner looking as well as certainly skid proof.

Hi Dash1234,

I am serious one hor ....

�

When a good audio system play more musical notes than distortion, you can play it louder and yet converse with passengers easily cos there are simply less distortion.

�

When musical notes plays clearly, it simply drowns out usual tyre-road and wind noises.

�

I had spent SGD5k doing soundproofing and still not significant differences especially when firewall gets relatively noisier since hard to push up to dashboard and with the added weight FC is affected and engine noise rises cos need to wack harder and also mentioned relative noise from firewall.

I just collected my QQ this afternoon! Mine is white with brown seats. Loving the new car smell!

�

Some observations:

�

1. Now I understand the "lag" when accelerating from standstill. Didn't drive it enough to master the "roll and tap" method some of you guys mentioned as had to get back to work.

�

2. Auto start/stop has to be turned off every time I start the car? Any way to set it to default off?

�

3. Eco button - can't really feel much difference whether it's on or off.

�

4. A bit irrelevant question but here goes - those of you with a child seat, do you put it behind the driver or behind the front passenger? The latter makes more sense so that you can turn around and peep at the little one occasionally but that would mean the leg room of the rear passenger behind the driver is lesser as I have long legs.

The safest place is the middle of the rear passenger seat. �

I can feel your anxiety when you are alone with the baby and he or she is crying. �Turning around and peeping at the little one is very dangerous and highly not recommended when you are driving. �I would advise you to get a child rear view mirror.

4. A bit irrelevant question but here goes - those of you with a child seat, do you put it behind the driver or behind the front passenger? The latter makes more sense so that you can turn around and peep at the little one occasionally but that would mean the leg room of the rear passenger behind the driver is lesser as I have long legs.

�

Hi Slxm,

Congras !!!

�

2. �Only if you have the disable stop/start module installed but not commercially available for our qashqai to my knowledge

�

4. �Please adjust setting for front airbag inside the left side of the glove compartment if leaving child/childseat on front passenger.

Hi all

Soon to be a proud QQ..would like to ask if the turbo needs any special maintenance?

What is the mileage clocked for servicing?

Hi SSS07,

Not that I am aware of ... and not mentioned in maintenance service manual.

I just collected my QQ this afternoon! Mine is white with brown seats. Loving the new car smell!

Some observations:

1. Now I understand the "lag" when accelerating from standstill. Didn't drive it enough to master the "roll and tap" method some of you guys mentioned as had to get back to work.

2. Auto start/stop has to be turned off every time I start the car? Any way to set it to default off?

3. Eco button - can't really feel much difference whether it's on or off.

4. A bit irrelevant question but here goes - those of you with a child seat, do you put it behind the driver or behind the front passenger? The latter makes more sense so that you can turn around and peep at the little one occasionally but that would mean the leg room of the rear passenger behind the driver is lesser as I have long legs.

Hey, I'm not too sure about qashqai but if the front passenger seat comes with airbag, it is a NO to place baby seat there.

The best location is the 2 rear side passenger seats and not even rear centre cos the front passenger seats can also cushion off collision impact. Centre rear seat not advisable as child may be thrown front in event of collision.

Hi Haronkr,

Bleeding such hydralic strut means getting air bubble out. This is acheived by pushing the strut to full closure and then full extension for say thrice.

I hold it wth cloth with one end on the ground and lean on it to do so but be careful and not slip to end up your face on the hard ground ...find a grass patch and have a brick or tile to rest the strut end.

I drive a QQ2.0 and never had it come across as jittery. It rides harder due to the 19 inchers but most cars with large wheel sizes do anyways.

Wow, your nick is pretty cute. You deserve really good customer service, esp from TC.

�

I am not an aircon expert or anything, so I can speculate that your diagnosis of refrigerant shortfall could be a possibility.

�

I had a possibly similar issue with my car and I went to TC Bukit Timah. Test driven with the workshop manager and he told me to leave the car there for 3~4 hours. When I went to collect my car, the service chit indicated that my aircon pipe was re-positioned. But no mentioning of refrigerant top up.

If you visit construction or industrial sites often, that would be a good idea.

�

However if you often travel around town or commercial places, the use of wire nettings is less compelling.

�

My personal preference is to keep my car's original state as far as possible.

My only fix so far is to change my "girly" car horns to something much louder. � �

There are chances of stone on the road hitting the radiator fin. I have put some netting on it to protect it.�

Nope. Mine is at default loop length. Check your card. Maybe damaged or too slow speed (if you changed card).

Thanks for the reply.

�

The camera is under warranty so i'll get TC to check it out. I also suspected malfunctioning SD card but just could not get the card out.

�

Noted some 2.0 owners had some issues. So I'll just list out my issues after 2 months driving it.

�

1. Wife complained about some rattling from glove compartment but I can't really hear it. More obvious if you sit there or when it goes over wobbly roads.

�

2. Condensation in headlights - No issue.

�

3. Jittery steering - Don't understand what is jittery steering. My steering works fine. Originally used Sports mode steering but find it too heavy for daily drive. Switched back to Normal and got used to it.

�

4. Tyre feel - harder drive than previous car but think it's more due to rim size. Originally was bumpy ride but after I deflated the tyres to specs, ok already.

�

5. No HU issues or radio reception issues - never try aux or the more advanced options. I only use radio for normal driving. BT works fine but I never use it.

�

6. Papago issues - Records intermittently. Will have TC check it out. Suspect card issue.

�

Overall, big OK from me.

Do they accept trade in stock continental? If you change from stock 215/60 R17 to 235 or even 245, do you have to change the rims too?

Thanks in advance,
HLim

Hi Hlim

�

Bro, I changed into my new Michelin after "using up" my Conti stock tyres (approx. 50,000km) so there was no issue of trading in stock tyres.� My "twin" Marcos Tan is the one with the better lobang for Michelin Primacy 3-ST tyres and the tyre shop he's recommending also don't take trade-in of stock Conti tyres...sorry bro.

�

For your second question, answer is "no", i.e. no need to change rims when switching to Michelin Primacy 3-ST.

Cheers

Hi Lee9389ck,

Thank you very much for the reply!

Wanted to change/trade in stock to Michelin PS4, but i checked that there is no suitable tyres with the right load index and diameter for R17 (correct me if I am wrong), so I guess the most suitable is Primacy 3-ST, 235/55.

Thanks again,
Hlim

I drive a QQ2.0 and never had it come across as jittery. It rides harder due to the 19 inchers but most cars with large wheel sizes do anyways.

If you like to 'feel' more road, the 19 inchers are totally fine.

Keep the tyres inflated to the recommended pressure and you'll be fine.

Wonder if there is an option to "downgrade" to 18" or 17" rims?

Check with TC last month and the answer is No.

Thanks. My guess too. Now I can eliminate QQ from consideration.

Even Macan as a sporty SUV only comes with 18". lol.

Instead of relying on TC to solve the poor radio reception, can we get the ICE expert's help?

Hi Maddog70,

I changed to a tiong dual os wince+android headunit ....perfect digital radio from internet meradio ..even better than the old days of dab digital radio mediacorp broadcast and you cannot get better than this as it is the only commercially available android capable headunit with digital output to my processor.

And there is also kkbox streaming almost any cd you wish at 320kbps.

Cheers.

After driving my Qashqai 1.2T for 6 weeks, here is a list of my "complaints". Before I begin, I must stress that with the understanding that this is a 1.2 litre car and at the price I paid, I am very happy with the car. This is therefore nothing more than a wish list, a list of things I wish I can change.

�

1. Horn - Not only is the sound embarrassingly weak, it is difficult to press the horn. Only the 6 o' clock location works. The other locations are hard to press. �I am more used to pressing either the 3 or 9 o' clock locations, which is common for other cars since your hands are likely around there. The horn sound can be changed and I will be doing it soon but unfortunately not the locations, I think.

�

2. Auto Start/Stop - This must be one of the most irritating functions. I actually do not mind the feature. It helps the environment and it saves petrol. But the frequency is ridiculous. I stop at the traffic lights, the engine auto-stops but barely 3 seconds later, it starts again. And then before I can finish counting to 20, it stops, and then starts again. I do not mind being unable to turn it off (permanently) but is there a way to extend the interval before start/stop?

�

3. Speedometer Display - I am a little annoyed that the primary scale on the analogue speedometer is in mph. You may accidentally think that you are going at 60 kph when in fact you are doing 60 mph which is more like 100 kph. No doubt we all use the digital reading but this renders the analogue meter redundant. I wonder if we can simply change the dial plate. It should not be too difficult since I believe the 2.0 QQ has it in kph. When this displays kph, we can then use the digital display for something else.

�

4. Power - All of us have experienced that moment at the traffic lights when we stepped on the gas and nothing happens for a second or two. Since I have no wish to fit e-trottle or something like that, I just remind myself this is a 1.2L car.

�

5. Rear Aircon - Sometimes, my back passengers complain the cold air is not reaching them. I just aim the centre vents towards them.

�

6. Radio - Everybody seems to be complaining about the reception. I really do not know what is the problem with the radio. When my car is near my house (Upper East Coast), BBC 88.9 can hardly hear, a lot of interference. But 98.0 seems ok. So, I conclude that it is not totally due to the HU. Maybe my place is not good for some signals, especially BBC? By the way, my SE also changed my antennae to the sharkfin type. I wonder if reception will be better if I change back to stock antennae.

�

7. GPS - The 8" display for the GPS is great but I find the Galactio routing not very good. Wish I can change it to Google Maps or Garmin.

�

8. Sound - I have this rattling sound from the glove compartment / dashboard. Hope to resolve it at next servicing.

�

9. Grilles - The radiator grilles are exposed. Have not decided whether to put mesh. Catch stones or leaves?

�

10. Front Seat - The lumbar support lever keeps dropping off. Anyone face the same problem?

�

Apart from the above, the car is fantastic. Lots of features and good to drive. I do not regret buying it.

I got the same thing during the heavy rains over the weekend.

Monitoring the situation and will highlight during my 1k servicing.

I also experienced it. It seems to happen on cold and rainy nights couple of months ago. But after driving and hot it disappears.

Unlike a cracked or leaky lamp in which vapour never goes away, this one is puzzling and I quite have not figure it out.

Did 10k servicing recently and upgraded the software. The initial pickup became smooth, like my previous car. Will advise members to do it. After, drove to Genting, whole journey very smooth. Engine has no issue in climbing up, while seeing others climbing slowly. Cruise control is also a big plus.

Regarding item 3 - speedometer display, there is a function in your dashboard menu where you can input/enter your speed in km/hr. In doing so you will have your speed in km/hr displayed on center display console next to your mph gauge. This applies specifically to the QQ1.2 model .

�

The QQ 2.0L model speedometer is in km/hr. You can always check with your SE for help as this is also a common issue.

Do not have any problem with the 2L as mentioned by some. Only find the aircon fan noise louder than ither make and road noise more obvious due to the performance tyres and poor insluation of the car
otherwise is perfect for me.

Hi Kstoh,

�

Nice summary !! �Believe most of not all bros feels the same and probably some more to add e.g. default external circulation for hot, dusty city Singapore etc. but yes, most still enjoy the qashqai car for many other reasons.

�

My 2 cents worth on the issues discussed and hope no offence taken for if there are different opinions.

�

Cheers.

Richard

1. Horn - Not only is the sound embarrassingly weak, it is difficult to press the horn. Only the 6 o' clock location works. The other locations are hard to press. �I am more used to pressing either the 3 or 9 o' clock locations, which is common for other cars since your hands are likely around there. The horn sound can be changed and I will be doing it soon but unfortunately not the locations, I think.

Richard: �Yes,many bros changed the horns that is not only embarrassingly weak but a SAFETY concern. �One bro had taxi reversed into him with substantial damage and I had 2 close shaves with lorry and NTUC 30 footer truck reversing into me at stationary despite using the guniang horn with all my might ... fortunately no car behind in both instances and I was quick to reverse back quickly to avoid sure accident .... no brainer modification needed here. �No clue/comment on the position of honk since not usually used and ok position imho to push hard when needed.�

�

2. Auto Start/Stop - This must be one of the most irritating functions. I actually do not mind the feature. It helps the environment and it saves petrol. But the frequency is ridiculous. I stop at the traffic lights, the engine auto-stops but barely 3 seconds later, it starts again. And then before I can finish counting to 20, it stops, and then starts again. I do not mind being unable to turn it off (permanently) but is there a way to extend the interval before start/stop?

Richard: �Just my opinion of course but this is�bureaucratic taxation BS to me and not about environment or saving petrol at the expensive of expected premature wearing off the starter, battery, engine mounting etc. which are all known to fail even in standard car. �Why no startstop for the 2.0L version without stopstart ... and why ? because they pays higher price and more road taxes ?? �Fortunately, 50 of us have disable stopstart module from Qashqai owner/designer which is similar to commercially available ones for Audi/VW on internet for Euro85 ....�

�

3. Speedometer Display - I am a little annoyed that the primary scale on the analogue speedometer is in mph. You may accidentally think that you are going at 60 kph when in fact you are doing 60 mph which is more like 100 kph. No doubt we all use the digital reading but this renders the analogue meter redundant. I wonder if we can simply change the dial plate. It should not be too difficult since I believe the 2.0 QQ has it in kph. When this displays kph, we can then use the digital display for something else.

Richard: European version has it in km/hr and since TC just bring in UK version, miles it is and as mentioned, there is digital display. �Not a concern to most like myself I believe. XTrail is not from UK and hence signalling/lights and wiper controls are also typical Japanese which our qashqai differs.

�

4. Power - All of us have experienced that moment at the traffic lights when we stepped on the gas and nothing happens for a second or two. Since I have no wish to fit e-trottle or something like that, I just remind myself this is a 1.2L car.

Richard: At traffic lights is fine and the most is if some car hit you lightly on the behind but this can become a SAFETY issue if judgement was made to make the U turn and to find having insufficient power to get ahead on oncoming traffic but sure, one can drive slowly and wait till all clear but dun think too fun to drive or stressfree then. �Estimate 50% of 180+ whatsapp group bros had fitted various brand of ethrottle and I move my 8.5 yr pivot from previous sunny to the qashqai ... worthwhile investment imho with hopefully another 8.5 yrs or 5 yrs of its service. �No brainer mod for me especially no warranty issue with TC.

�

5. Rear Aircon - Sometimes, my back passengers complain the cold air is not reaching them. I just aim the centre vents towards them.

Richard: Indeed not complete for our Qashqai without one ... even same Korean graded cars have them and hence ordered the Russian rear aircon assembly for their Qashqai with such rear aricon vents. Unfortunately, they dun fit without more work and still WIPs. �Idea is to use the foot aircon outlets to be diverted to the rear air con vents which also then allows the control since ours are without and any mod to control panel will be major if not impossible at least to me.

�

6. Radio - Everybody seems to be complaining about the reception. I really do not know what is the problem with the radio. When my car is near my house (Upper East Coast), BBC 88.9 can hardly hear, a lot of interference. But 98.0 seems ok. So, I conclude that it is not totally due to the HU. Maybe my place is not good for some signals, especially BBC? By the way, my SE also changed my antennae to the sharkfin type. I wonder if reception will be better if I change back to stock antennae.

Richard: �Not perfect but had worse FM reception from other HUs and strange still that owners changed to sharkfin type which is cannot be better if they are bothered with FM reception. �Of course nothing to do with Nissan and it is a tiong HU source by TC with locked up functionalities of standard SZztech ZT-N8032 available also from Aliexpress. BBS alway suck even in with an expensive home FM tuner which I can read the signal strength and please note the it is not operated by mediacorp but BBC World Service which means there may be variation in their transmission quality agreement. Best FM receiption will be via DAB which mediacorp unfortunately closed down 4-5 years ago and I am now on dual Wince/Android headunit for almost perfect internet FM radio within the bitrates of mediacorp internet site.

http://broom03.revol...item_type=topic

�

�

7. GPS - The 8" display for the GPS is great but I find the Galactio routing not very good. Wish I can change it to Google Maps or Garmin.

Richard: �Use many GPS on mobile phones for years with favorite being Sygic for accurate audio warning and nice graphics and do thought the Galactio is fine with their UI, postal code search etc. It has nice feature to mix/fade gps audio level with playing audio source which my changed dual Wince/Android OS headunit cannot do and hence missed even if I now have googlemap, waze and igo primo 9 (wince) . �On the other hand, the 8" display with 800X480 pales compared to my 1024X600 resolution screen and its resistive touch cannot be compared to my capacitance enable display.

�

8. Sound - I have this rattling sound from the glove compartment / dashboard. Hope to resolve it at next servicing.

Richard: �Think most if not all affected and this is primarily the design and also local fitting of accessories. Quite easily solved via diy or accessory shops albeit often not by TC.

�

9. Grilles - The radiator grilles are exposed. Have not decided whether to put mesh. Catch stones or leaves?

Richard: �Indeed strange especially with worse country side driving in europe, uk etc. �and they does look exposed and not nice. �Perhaps for max cooling for the 1.2L turbo intercooler but when then about the the 2.0 L ?? �Many bros done up mesh by local accessories shop or also diy from TaoBao �purchases .... many choices. �

�

10. Front Seat - The lumbar support lever keeps dropping off. Anyone face the same problem?

Richard: �Had not hear of lever dropping off but almost 100% complaint on how the leather gets creased and this is also the case for factory fitted leather of the 2.0L. Guess their proclaim air seats or something else they call it dictates type of leather which is weaker and weaken by designed specification. �Quite expensive to change and current solution for some bros who cannot accept it is to get it replaced by TC contractor but so called improved version creased again after some months ... did not bother me too much since not seen too much.

�

Apart from the above, the car is fantastic. Lots of features and good to drive. I do not regret buying it.

The tyres are indeed loud.

�

Is there a difference between insulation from tyre noise and insulation from engine noise?

�

I do note that when I travel on very smooth surfaces, I can't hear nothing in the cabin. Only on rough surface then I hear the tyre noise. but the engine is really quiet.

�

Hi Foker,

�

I have a portable wifi with another sim card in the centre console which my dual wince+android headunit connects to. �

�

I have neither previous dual sim or unlimited 3G plan or Apple tablet data package and do not do hotspot from phone since too tedious and not integrated to car headunit then. �I had accepted that home internet, mobile internet and car internet are for different purposes but yes, it is not cheap at almost sgd30/month or sgd300/yearly but this is my only PERFECT FM radio reception solution (clear FM even at baseman carparks with SingTel's guaranteed QOS) and more ... with saving with much reduced CD purchases.

�

Meradio is ok on data since limited time in car but it is KK box when set to high quality of 320kbps that really eats up data.

�

For workaround this, Singtel offer SGD7.90 for unlimited data for meradio and choice of KK box, Spotify etc. �and hence manageable at even minimum 3GB package. �My brother has the old Starhub unlimited 3G sim card which works fine too on his pure android headunit albeit without CD/DVD drive and you need to put it to sleep if you want the same quick boot up like our stock wince headunit.

Am afraid to say loud or quiet is relative depending on make of tyres, tyre pressures, road surface and conditions and past experience.

�

Used to drive Toyota altis, and nissan latio using falken and yokohama tyres and after 5-6 months esp yokohama tyres, the noise could feel like driving on airplane runway.

�

Conti tyres on QQ should be considered "quiet" relative to my past experience.

�

The quietness sometimes could be quite "deafening".

�

So no complaints from me regarding the sound department. �

Hi Kxbc,

�

Haha ... eerie quiet is not how I would describe an Latio unless special order to the level of Lexus, BMW 7 series or S class ...

�

Think also apple to orange comparison of 15 or 16" tyres for Latio to the 19" tyres that you are using now.

�

BTW, one of the rare complaint I have on the 1.2L qashqai that I have is that the engine is least refine sound and rough in fact as compared to the likes of Toyota but this is also typical Nissan especially older models with a bit dated technologies behind Toyota, Honda etc. until this turbo charged Qashqai with all the frills.

Totally agree with Kxbc. My old tyres from all my previous rides were much quieter than the new QQ 19" . After driving for 7000 km, the road noise is getting worse. I suppose QQ 17" are quieter due to the different profile.

Due to my style and habit of driving, mine usually need to be replaced around 40,000km, that is when the tyres are 'botak'.
For everyone's safety, change when the tyres are worn off, do not base on how many km you use.

Dear all,

Need some help and advise.

Today, my navi decided to go on strike. When I press on the physical navi button or go through the touch-screen navi button, a small window (like the ones in old windows 3.11) pops up in Chinese saying failure to load.

I tried pressing the reset button nx to the GPS microSD card but the same small screen with the Chinese msg keeps popping up and disappearing automatically.

Any Bros here encountered this problem? From the looks of the window, the OS looks more windows CE than android.

Did 10k servicing recently and upgraded the software. The initial pickup became smooth, like my previous car. Will advise members to do it. After, drove to Genting, whole journey very smooth. Engine has no issue in climbing up, while seeing others climbing slowly. Cruise control is also a big plus.

i sent my qq in last week for first servicing, feedback on jerkiness n lagging at pick up, they did software upgrade as well, ride is so much smoother now

�

I had a close shave for my other car (Harrier). In recent weeks, I noticed some kind of "chopping" sound when I drive. My car is due for scrapping next June, so I did not pay much attention to its state.Then this changed to chopping and vibration. The faster I go, especially once I pass 80 kph, my car will go "chop chop chop" like helicopter and vibrate at the same time. I became worried and brought it to the workshop.

�

My workshop told me my tires were breaking apart! I really should have been more safety conscious. Please do not follow my bad habit.�

Regarding item 3 - speedometer display, there is a function in your dashboard menu where you can input/enter your speed in km/hr. In doing so you will have your speed in km/hr displayed on center display console next to your mph gauge. This applies specifically to the QQ1.2 model .

�

The QQ 2.0L model speedometer is in km/hr. You can always check with your SE for help as this is also a common issue.

�

Yes, I am aware of the digital display in kph and I use it. My point is that if I can change the analogue display to kph, then the digital display can be freed up for some other use e.g. fuel consumption.

�

I did ask my SE about changing the analogue display but she replied it cannot be done. I think it should be possible. We are not changing the mechanism or the hands, but just the clock face which is maybe a plastic piece, which we can take from the QQ 2.0. But perhaps it is hard to change it or the cost is very high.

Hi richard wat was the damage of the above setup?

�

Hi SSS07,

�

My first dual OS wince/android heaunit was USD450+USD90 shipping or total USD540.

�

We did a recent MO for 7 units for the same and its was USD285 with free shipping ... our stock headunit in unlocked version from same Szzest mfgr is slightly more expensive at USD 300 !!

�

It does require a canbus steering control module and installation of the headunit which I managed to have this to be completed at SGD250.

�

In total with everything stock, it will be slightly more than SGD650 and this will need to use your handphone to hotspot.

�

Portable wifi will be SGD100-150 depending on model and another sim card with singtel music for SGD7.90/mth will be SGD28 in total for 3G data package or SGD360/yr running cost.

CHANGING THE 1.2T SPEEDOMETER FASCIA

�

I would like to explore this possibility. I know that we can use the digital display but if i can use the analogue display (which is currently redundant), the digital display can be used for other purposes.

�

TC told me (and others) it cannot be done but I think it may be possible. Based on what I read from the internet, it involves:

�

a) removing the cover

b) removing the needle

c) changing the fascia (dial)

�

A bit like changing the clock face. But how to get the kph fascia? Will those of you who have a QQ 2.0 take a picture to see if it is similar to the QQ 1.2T fascia below? Note: the fuel indicator needle is pointing down.

Attached Thumbnails

28 July 2016 - 06:49 PM
Kstoh

There are online websites that sell the fascia but unfortunately they are the mph display. We need the kph display.

�

There are some forums where UK customers imported the car from Europe and they come with kph dials. These customers want to change to mph dials. I wonder if an exchange with these customers work. And of course, I think changing the fascia may be more difficult that it seems.

2. Want to change my horn. SUPER EMBARRASSING when I horn cos even some motorcycle got nicer horn that the QQ. I was wondering if anyone try the HELLA BLACK TWIN TONE? It sounds nicer than the hell red twin tone.

Hi Kstoh,

Nice summary !! Believe most of not all bros feels the same and probably some more to add e.g. default external circulation for hot, dusty city Singapore etc. but yes, most still enjoy the qashqai car for many other reasons.

My 2 cents worth on the issues discussed and hope no offence taken for if there are different opinions.

Cheers.
Richard

1. Horn - Not only is the sound embarrassingly weak, it is difficult to press the horn. Only the 6 o' clock location works. The other locations are hard to press. I am more used to pressing either the 3 or 9 o' clock locations, which is common for other cars since your hands are likely around there. The horn sound can be changed and I will be doing it soon but unfortunately not the locations, I think.
Richard: Yes,many bros changed the horns that is not only embarrassingly weak but a SAFETY concern. One bro had taxi reversed into him with substantial damage and I had 2 close shaves with lorry and NTUC 30 footer truck reversing into me at stationary despite using the guniang horn with all my might ... fortunately no car behind in both instances and I was quick to reverse back quickly to avoid sure accident .... no brainer modification needed here. No clue/comment on the position of honk since not usually used and ok position imho to push hard when needed.

2. Auto Start/Stop - This must be one of the most irritating functions. I actually do not mind the feature. It helps the environment and it saves petrol. But the frequency is ridiculous. I stop at the traffic lights, the engine auto-stops but barely 3 seconds later, it starts again. And then before I can finish counting to 20, it stops, and then starts again. I do not mind being unable to turn it off (permanently) but is there a way to extend the interval before start/stop?
Richard: Just my opinion of course but this is bureaucratic taxation BS to me and not about environment or saving petrol at the expensive of expected premature wearing off the starter, battery, engine mounting etc. which are all known to fail even in standard car. Why no startstop for the 2.0L version without stopstart ... and why ? because they pays higher price and more road taxes ?? Fortunately, 50 of us have disable stopstart module from Qashqai owner/designer which is similar to commercially available ones for Audi/VW on internet for Euro85 ....

3. Speedometer Display - I am a little annoyed that the primary scale on the analogue speedometer is in mph. You may accidentally think that you are going at 60 kph when in fact you are doing 60 mph which is more like 100 kph. No doubt we all use the digital reading but this renders the analogue meter redundant. I wonder if we can simply change the dial plate. It should not be too difficult since I believe the 2.0 QQ has it in kph. When this displays kph, we can then use the digital display for something else.
Richard: European version has it in km/hr and since TC just bring in UK version, miles it is and as mentioned, there is digital display. Not a concern to most like myself I believe. XTrail is not from UK and hence signalling/lights and wiper controls are also typical Japanese which our qashqai differs.

4. Power - All of us have experienced that moment at the traffic lights when we stepped on the gas and nothing happens for a second or two. Since I have no wish to fit e-trottle or something like that, I just remind myself this is a 1.2L car.
Richard: At traffic lights is fine and the most is if some car hit you lightly on the behind but this can become a SAFETY issue if judgement was made to make the U turn and to find having insufficient power to get ahead on oncoming traffic but sure, one can drive slowly and wait till all clear but dun think too fun to drive or stressfree then. Estimate 50% of 180+ whatsapp group bros had fitted various brand of ethrottle and I move my 8.5 yr pivot from previous sunny to the qashqai ... worthwhile investment imho with hopefully another 8.5 yrs or 5 yrs of its service. No brainer mod for me especially no warranty issue with TC.

5. Rear Aircon - Sometimes, my back passengers complain the cold air is not reaching them. I just aim the centre vents towards them.
Richard: Indeed not complete for our Qashqai without one ... even same Korean graded cars have them and hence ordered the Russian rear aircon assembly for their Qashqai with such rear aricon vents. Unfortunately, they dun fit without more work and still WIPs. Idea is to use the foot aircon outlets to be diverted to the rear air con vents which also then allows the control since ours are without and any mod to control panel will be major if not impossible at least to me.

6. Radio - Everybody seems to be complaining about the reception. I really do not know what is the problem with the radio. When my car is near my house (Upper East Coast), BBC 88.9 can hardly hear, a lot of interference. But 98.0 seems ok. So, I conclude that it is not totally due to the HU. Maybe my place is not good for some signals, especially BBC? By the way, my SE also changed my antennae to the sharkfin type. I wonder if reception will be better if I change back to stock antennae.
Richard: Not perfect but had worse FM reception from other HUs and strange still that owners changed to sharkfin type which is cannot be better if they are bothered with FM reception. Of course nothing to do with Nissan and it is a tiong HU source by TC with locked up functionalities of standard SZztech ZT-N8032 available also from Aliexpress. BBS alway suck even in with an expensive home FM tuner which I can read the signal strength and please note the it is not operated by mediacorp but BBC World Service which means there may be variation in their transmission quality agreement. Best FM receiption will be via DAB which mediacorp unfortunately closed down 4-5 years ago and I am now on dual Wince/Android headunit for almost perfect internet FM radio within the bitrates of mediacorp internet site.
http://broom03.revol...item_type=topic

7. GPS - The 8" display for the GPS is great but I find the Galactio routing not very good. Wish I can change it to Google Maps or Garmin.
Richard: Use many GPS on mobile phones for years with favorite being Sygic for accurate audio warning and nice graphics and do thought the Galactio is fine with their UI, postal code search etc. It has nice feature to mix/fade gps audio level with playing audio source which my changed dual Wince/Android OS headunit cannot do and hence missed even if I now have googlemap, waze and igo primo 9 (wince) . On the other hand, the 8" display with 800X480 pales compared to my 1024X600 resolution screen and its resistive touch cannot be compared to my capacitance enable display.

8. Sound - I have this rattling sound from the glove compartment / dashboard. Hope to resolve it at next servicing.
Richard: Think most if not all affected and this is primarily the design and also local fitting of accessories. Quite easily solved via diy or accessory shops albeit often not by TC.

9. Grilles - The radiator grilles are exposed. Have not decided whether to put mesh. Catch stones or leaves?
Richard: Indeed strange especially with worse country side driving in europe, uk etc. and they does look exposed and not nice. Perhaps for max cooling for the 1.2L turbo intercooler but when then about the the 2.0 L ?? Many bros done up mesh by local accessories shop or also diy from TaoBao purchases .... many choices.

10. Front Seat - The lumbar support lever keeps dropping off. Anyone face the same problem?
Richard: Had not hear of lever dropping off but almost 100% complaint on how the leather gets creased and this is also the case for factory fitted leather of the 2.0L. Guess their proclaim air seats or something else they call it dictates type of leather which is weaker and weaken by designed specification. Quite expensive to change and current solution for some bros who cannot accept it is to get it replaced by TC contractor but so called improved version creased again after some months ... did not bother me too much since not seen too much.

Apart from the above, the car is fantastic. Lots of features and good to drive. I do not regret buying it.

How to disable the auto start stop permanently? I think our battery will spoiled very easily in Singapore road condition.

Which engine is our Qashqai 1.2T using and what is the recommended petrol? I never realised until yesterday that our petrol tank cover says "Unleaded Premium 95 Octane". Does that mean should not use 92 or 98 Octane?

I know the difference between leaded and unleaded, 92, 95, 98 etc. But what is the difference between regular and premium? I usually pump SPC 95. I hope that is "premium"?

I made many mistakes when ordering from Taobao. Look carefully at the fog lights at the bottom of the car. Ours is round, theirs is more angular.

�

Things that are safe to buy:

Door handle trim

Rear fog light trim

Rear tail light trim

The little triangle under the spoiler lip

Front headlight trim

Side mirror trim

Door trims (like adventure series)

Rectangular piece for the interior vent (not sure what that vent is lol)

Boot mat

Seat covers designed for Qashqai 2016

Side trims for the door (to cover the black parts, but my SE installed the window visors, so if you want to install that, you have to take that into consideration)

�

Things that cannot fit:

Interior dash for left hand drive
Anything to do with the fog lights at the front and the front bottom section

Center armrest console seems to be different also, so not all armrest covers will fit

�

Things that may or may not exactly fit:

metal plate for rear boot (inner step) - fits kinda, but after that closing and opening the boot is not as smooth

metal plate for rear boot (outer step) - doesn't fit, system will say that door is not closed ... maybe I installed it wrong

Adventure series front and rear scuff plates - should fit but requires some installation so I didn't try

�

Things not tried:

decorative roof rail (looks a bit complicated to install)

Is pretty standard for a 2L car to clock such FC.
Our driving habit will determine the kind of FC too.
No worries bro, your car is normal.

Also it is predicted that There�ll find a brand new group of 17 inch alloy wheels. It is predicted that it new model will certainly be even stronger competitor out there and can attract a lot of new potential customers.

�

The new 2017 Nissan Qashqai will certainly be inside very elegantly furnished, it is predicted the novelty of the new model will certainly be that It�ll possess the 3rd row of seats so would have the ability to accommodate 7 passengers and can have enough space to the legs and head. The new Qashqai will certainly be very comfortable mainly because seats will certainly be made from the finest leather. There�ll also discover a 7 inch touchscreen, modern air conditioning, navigation system, parking sensors, a rearview camera, braking assistant, cruise control, traction control and much more.

�

2017 Nissan Qashqai Engine And Performance

�

Beneath the hood from the new 2017 Nissan Qashqai will certainly be designed with a 1. 2 liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that could have 116 horsepower and torque of 190 Nm. Also There�ll be another engine to provide a 1. 6-liter 4-cylinder engine that can develop 160 horsepower having a torque of 244 Nm. This new model may have two transmission options and it also is a 6 speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmission.

�

Currently only 2000+km run. averaging 590km when the fuel warning comes on. Usually pump full tank is 55l, arriving at 10.7km/l so far.

�

my traveling pattern is mostly ECP and cbd area to and fro daily. prob 70 HW: 30 city. morning consumption is thirstier at around high 9+km/l (based on screen) due to start/stop traffic on expressway. Night ride better as i drive home after 7ish. maybe 11+km/l.

�

Short city or neighbourhood drives ~8km/l

Long expressway drives - highest was 15.2km/l that is once in a blue moon.

�

I think averaging 11km/l will be achievable in the longer run. Diff petrol brands and grades work differently for your car. need to experiment. Well, that was at least my experience in my old car. Efficiency went up by 1km/l when i switched from Shell 95 to Esso 95 because I wanted the credit card promotion.

hi

�

Just to check all QQ 2L owner mileage experience.

�

i am getting about 10.3L/100Km or about 9.3km/L. what is experience of other QQ2L owner ?

�

I can get about 14km/l in my QQ 2.0.�

�

I pump 98 esso, and not a heavy footed driver.

Thank you!

�

I check with my SE and he said he can't change to shark fin type of antennae!

�

Will ask him to change the horn. Got a feeling he going to say cannot also.

�

How about the back windscreen - any guys here got the rain visor installed FOC from TC?

�

Any cash rebates? Mine is about $1,200.�

�

Today will go sign already.�

�

Does the shark fin antenna give lousy reception?�

My old car when driving in MCE still can get radio reception.�

But in my QQ 2.0, the reception very fuzzy.�

I wondering if I change to shark fin antenna, will it get even worse....

TPMS arrived. Thanks to the bros who shared the lobang when it was on sale.

Photos of the grille, horn and TPMS.

Side note: weird placement of the horns. Hidden behind the bumper. Could muffle the sound somewhat. Will see how it performs on the road.

My experience with shark fin antenna or the radio reception as a whole-

Changed to sharkfin after 1 day. Bought from ax cheap cheap.

Reception is quite poor. Fuzzles about 20% of the time.

And since I take the same road to work Everyday, someday on same certain stretch of road its poor, somedays okay, sometimes at the exact same spot I stop my vehicle (red light) reception becomes poor but once I put my foot on the pedal immediately the reception improves. Not sure if it's a power current issue or something

Intend to change back stock antenna sua. Any Bros with feedback on stock antenna? Better or still poor?

Mine has also been changed to sharkfin type. In my opinion, sharkfin antenna can only be worse not better.

�

The stock antenna is there to improve signal reception. Normally, the longer the antenna, the better the reception. To install the sharkfin type, you need to remove that stock antenna and cover it with a plastic sharkfin. The pastic cover is cosmetic. I don't think there is any embedded antenna in it. (If there is, then I may be wrong).

�

Will the grilles give rise to future problems, like rusting of the grilles? If so, I will just stick to the naked original look.

�

Based on what I see, the horns are normally installed not hidden behind the bumper. They are somewhat visible from the front. The workshop told me they can spray the red horns to black.

Hi Kstoh,

�

Affirmative ..... I am with your that sharkfin can never be better than stock but the usual issue is not only the antenna but the headunit electronics.

�

The sharkfin antenna I had since from taobao uses flat copper film and there are better quality ones and worse quality ones.

Stock ant still has the best reception. It is the HU poor radio reception. Change to sharkfin gets much noises and change to short ant sounds gets muffled/lower volume. In the end switch back to stock.

Hi YSLY,

�

Auto fold mirror is useful functionality to automatically folds up the side mirrors when you locked your car .... it �minimises damage especially when parked in narrow lane.

�

It is also an indication that the doors are indeed locked with just a glance from afar in case you wonder if indeed locked.

�

Note however that at least most if not all the cases, the auto fold module from TC is simplex version but guess depends also on the subcon that they may change at that time. While it closes when locked, it only opens when you start your engine and not when doors are unlocked �... which mean there may be cases that you open the door but did not start engine and walking away with door unlocked but side mirror folded. �I paid SGD85 before car collection but swap it out at accessory shop with duplex version for SGD60 which simply closes when locked and opens when unlocked .... no more doubt.

Anyone done Ceramic coating for their new QQ?

I've never done this before and not sure if its worth it or not. Worked out the sums and its like about $300 per year. $900 for the entire car and last 3 years. �

�

Got a few questions, hope you guys can help me out!

- Will waxing or polishing it destroy the ceramic coating?

- Worth doing it for interior and headlamps?

- If got knocks/dents at the door, will the color change or be affected more obviously due to the coat?

To make it short, it's like a hard layer of wax which last longer.
Waxing or polishing will remove it.
I did at opti-shine and they will coat all exterior surfaces including headlamps, windows, thr black plastic trims and rims. Interior is the door sills part which I requested and they did it as well.
For knocks and dents, it's the same as having a newly polished car vs a dirty car, which is more obvious?

Hi MadDog,
There is hi end SUV, mid-tier SUV and low priced SUV.

Our qashqai is clearly low prices SUV but fights well in its class and beyond in terms of comfort and ride as well as arguably good looks ... Vezel looks odd especially from rear on its sad clown-like rear lighting though the vezel hybrid is much better with BMW's lookalike led strips albeit a bit unclear and fuzzy.

No regret and rather have the $ to mod and enjoy the process while enjoying the ride and comfort.

Cheers,

Haha ...looks like some Vezel fan boys are lurking around here and displeased with my comment on odd looking rear lights that remind me of a sad clown which I stand by.

Here is Opti Coat Pro
�

Opti-Coat Pro is a hard wearing, ceramic clear coat for superior resistance to scratching (9H) and protection from chemical etching due to environmental impacts.

The Opti-Coat Pro pre-polymer cross links, and forms a continuous protective film on the painted surface it is applied to, similar to a single component�isocyanate�that forms a clear coat finish.

Opti-Coat Pro has better chemical resistance, scratch & mar resistance, and release properties than any automotive paint coating in use. It provides permanent protection for all modern factory paints and can also be used to protect metal and hard plastic surfaces.

�

�

OPTI-COAT� PRO MAINTENANCE PROGRAM

WASHING

For best results wash with Optimum No Rinse� Wash & Shine, No Rinse� Wash & Wax, or Car Wash on a bi-weekly basis to avoid excessive contamination build up.
Avoid washing in direct sunlight to minimize streaking and water spotting.
Wash from the top down leaving the dirtiest sections for last to avoid cross contamination.
Use separate soap and sponge/mitt for wheels.

DRYING

Always dry completely and never leave to �air� dry. Tap water contains minerals that may leave deposits creating water spots.
Use quality microfiber towels for best results and avoid aggressive wiping, allowing the material to absorb the water.

SPOT REMOVAL

Never use aggressive products to polish the coating or remove surface contamination.
Never use excessive force to remove spots.
Bird droppings, tar, sap, etc. should be removed as soon as possible to avoid temporary staining or hardening on the coating. Any staining left behind from the bird droppings will break down over a few days without affecting the coating.

Got a few questions, hope you guys can help me out!

�

- Will waxing or polishing it destroy the ceramic coating?

- Worth doing it for interior and headlamps?

- If got knocks/dents at the door, will the color change or be affected more obviously due to the coat?

�

Thank you everyone!�

Littlegreenyoda,

Here's sharing what I encountered for my PPS and I am super damned pissed for spending the money on it.� Not sure whether I was cheated as I did not stay to see the application.� So I would recommend that you stay the process and get them to show you what they are applying.� Else go to reputable ones,�

�

1.� It did not protect mine from water marks. scratches and it even chipped out the paint at the slightest hit on the door(as there was no dent but a chip off).� Even though it advertised that it is able to protect againist.� so... misleading advert?

�

2.� Complained to Vendor and they offered to redo with minimal charge..... after much haggling then FOC.� But I am still unsure whether I want to waste my time going back.......

�

3.� Said I never wipe off the rain water after the rain..... ya like I very free, monitor the weather to see when the rain stops and run out to dry the car.

�

4.� Say no PPS in the market is able to protect against, water marks, scratches and dents.� While I agree that hard knocks will definitely leave a dent, it should be able to prevent small dents.

�

5.� My previous rides, even without PPS, I can clear off the scratch using the scratch remover waxes. but after the PPS done by this Vendor on QQ, it totally did not respond. And this is a very light scratch whereas the one I removed on previous ride was a deeper one.

�

6.� Asked him, why pay to do PPS when it doesn't protect?� Cannot answer me.....I am really baffled.

�

Not sure what other Bros' opinions on their PPS. But I am pretty sure the PPS I done on my previous ride was way better than the PPS done by this Co. PM me on the one I had my PPS done so that you can avoid this Company or stay on throughout the whole process if you finally selected this Co to do your PPS.�

Hi Littlegreenyoda,

�

Somehow missed this .....

�

Are you fully appreciative of the difference between the 1.2L and 2.0L ??

�

Not sure the $ difference now and you may wish to read pass msgs for a good understanding.

�

Sorry to raise this top now but need informed decision imho and just hope this is the case.

�

Frankly, I was not aware of all the differences that I do know now and unsure if I would have still stay with 1.2L or proceeded with 2.0L.

Cheers,

Hi Obscuresg,

�

There are many value for money mods and MOs like insulation foam in side panel, <=sgd30 grounding group diy session etc. by passionate bros for bros in the whatsapp group to review for suitability before their participation.

�

Bull dun drink water how to push down its head to drink ?? �Ignorance is often not bliss.

�

Hope dun offend any one here and certainly not advertising for bros to join the whatapp group especially since the previous discussed max 200 bros of admin group is almost full anyway.

�

Cheers,

�

It's a very good platform to know other QQ owners and share and gain knowledge on what can be done to your ride. Some are very pragmatic, some are good to have, some to look cool, etc. I've always enjoyed an open mind but kena poison in the process is a risk..kekeke. it's still better than covering head in the sand and get outdated as technology changes very fast in our time. Truly an eye opener as we learn from others!�
