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
......

12volt unit:)?

Head unit -> Rca cable --> optical convertor -> optical cable -> digital input of processor -> amp -> speaker -> whole lots of goodies audio :)

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 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?

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

My 1year 8 days old qashqai battery dead on me today... Manage to jump start after charging the battery for 15mins. Went down to TC and was told to pay 50% of new battery cos over 1 year... Keep pestering them and in the end they say try to claim warranty for me.

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

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?

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

I drove my qq for 2 weeks liao. When i start engine, sometimes my HU radio hang...no sound...cannot change channel need to restart engine then ok.
I also noticed undercarriage got those knocking sounds "tum" "tum" "tum" at low rpm around 1.5rpm. Not very loud but my sensitive ear can catch it. You guys experienced these issues bo?

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..

�

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

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,

�

These are 55w led with Philips smd led that throws very far at 5000k to match the DRL albeit non-perferred fan type. However the previous 22w fanless type with eti smd led also died on one side after 4-5 months.

Guys, want to check if anyone installed ultra gauge on your vehicle? Any issues so far as I think it is quite straight forward as it is plug and play direct to the OBD. It can also display HP, Torque, and boost but not sure how accurate it is. However, I am not sure if I can use it with a Y plitter cable as I currently ha e the auto door lock feature plugged into the OBD.

It is just an obd module that you can installed easily within 10 seconds and you can get it from here:

https://world.taobao...m?fromSite=main

Please choose top left xtrail 2014 onward but it is the same as qashqai 2016 and we did an MO for 40+ whatsapp bros... I can certainly help you to fix when you receives it if you wish me to.

Cheers,

Richard

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?�

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.

hi Kohanson,

The headlights are from here and please state 5000k if you wish to be nearest to DRL but some bros like 6500k which stand out quite a bit which I wish to avoid:

The licence plate are T10 Philips LED also from Aliexpress but unfortunately the link no longer exists but you may want to try this:

Thanks bro.. Will take a look at the links. Will it be brighter than HID for the front lights and is the cut off line for headlights a horizontal line? Or is it because our headlamps are halogen projector and therefore, not possible to achieve the horizontal cut off line?

Anybody got lobang for OBD Y splitter?

What's the diff between this and Steel mate838iic? This is much cheaper then steel mate..

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

There seems to have a new variant call "lite" now as compare to last time only two models. Any idea what is the difference?

Intended to fix a USB adaptor at the switch panel. �Unfortunately I have a hard time finding the size. Can anyone confirm this is the correct one.

�

Thinking of also fixing one like the one in the second pic behind the arm rest . �Anyone has done it?

There seems to have a new variant call "lite" now as compare to last time only two models. Any idea what is the difference?

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?

https://tiresize.com...ize-calculator/

I use the above link to check, you can try it

Thanks for the help. By the way I wonder if anyone install strut bar into their ride? If so got any images?

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.

BTW, please avoid so call stainless steel fixture cos my experience is that even UK stuff from European suppliers before all these taobao seller will still rust over time which will stain your paint job ...and zero chance of lasting even till 5 years warranty ends ... just keep to chromed ABS plastic ones.

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.

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.

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

Is it really "skid proof"?

Is it really "skid proof"?

Not sure man.....have not monitor that.

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.

Enzomatrix,

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.

Bro,

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

Nissan Qashqai - engine is good, interior is nice, moonroof is nice, other features not so sure

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.

2-3 hours drive also no issues ......

Back not hurting and easy to get in and out of the car ....

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.

You are on H4? Bo bian have to get those with smaller headsink else it wouldnt really fit or u have to cut a bigger hole behind.�

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.

�

�

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.

No lah I copied from the quote and paste here .....yes I am driving QQ white amour lol

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.

�

Hi all

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

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 Defcom81.

From ebay but Russian seller and can take 1.5 months for delivery:

Quality is good and just diy easily but remember to bleed it before mounting.

Cheers,

Richard

Hi Richard

What do you mean by bleeding it before mounting?

Thanks

Hi Richard

What do you mean by bleeding it before mounting?

Thanks

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.

Cheers.

Easy ...look for railing at the roof only in 2L

Anyone having intermittent recording issues on your Papago GoSafe 360?

Intermittent as in record 7 seconds, stop recording then record again (my loop is on 5 min interval). Basically the whole trip is not fully recorded.

Nope. Mine is at default loop length. Check your card. Maybe damaged or too slow speed (if you changed card).

You guys can consider using Telegram app instead. Works like whatsapp but group members limits are massive, think it's about 5000.

The brake pads as installed create a lot of black dusts.

Very interesting that in almost all the UK reviews, they tell you not to put 19" rim on the car as it becomes jittery, yet Tan Chong put that rim onto the QQ2.0!

Do QQ2.0 owners here think the ride is bumpy?

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.�

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.

My advice is that you go to the TC service centre to test and fix your issues.

Workshop advised me to put some wire netting to protect the radiator grilles from getting stones stuck etc. Any pros and cons?

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. � � [idea]

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.

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,

Wonder if there is an option to "downgrade" to 18" or 17" rims?

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.

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.

�

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
�

�

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.�

�

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 ....�

�

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.

�

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.

�

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.

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.

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 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.

Bro,

Where does your internet data come from?

Does that eats up lots of data listening to meradio?

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.

How good is the window film given by SE?

Is the stock brake system sufficient?

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

Sad that nowadays cars are dependent on computer.

For everyone's safety, change when the tyres are worn off, do not base on how many km you use.

�

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

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.

Shark fin antenna can never match the stock unit version.
Change / replace your HU is the only solution for you if you hv poor reception with the stock antenna.
There are tons of poison out there. Happy shopping.

Just checking if anyone else experience this with the HU:

(1) Play from SD, sometimes Navi cannot load, pause SD, Navi loads

(2) Play from SD, Navi loads, can route, cannot go back to SD screen but music continues playing

Surprised TC did not get it fixed as standard SOP and keep irritating new owners :( Guess management is not aware else the Service team will get into hot soup ....

Cheers,
Richard

I notice there is some free play on the hinge of the glove box. Going to take a look later to see what I can do to stop the rattling sound.

I just collected and drove my pearlie white 1.2 Qashqai for 3 weeks, and I can't stand the rattling on the left of dashboard and knocking sound.

Less than 1000KM, and I sent it in today at Tan Chong Toa Payoh workshop for troubleshooting. Sianz

SE verified the rattling due to loose wiring at dashboard and knocking due to mounting issue.

Hopefully Tan Chong can resolve my problems. Irritating to drive with the noises!

i had mine rectified yesterday, notice the noise only after i sent in for 1000k servicing last week, went back again yesterday. beside rattling noise, got problem with solar film as well

I just collected mine earlier. Now still monitoring the ride. Definitely much enjoyable ride without the irritating noises.

Rattling noise - rectified by fixing the glove box compartment
Knocking noise - rectified by greasing the mounting
Both noises are on the left side.

Keeping my fingers cross. Hopefully they are fixed indefinitely.

Recently l can hear 'howling' sound coming from the left rear.
Cannot figure out if it is from the tyre or wind. More like wind noise to me and l tried to fold both the side mirrors, is not from there.
Please share with me if you have this noise too.

Cheers all, will be getting my QQ 2L soon, can I join the whatsapp group in advance?

Hi guys, I just bought an OBD2 splitter Y cable from ebay and now I can use for both my door auto lock and ultra gauge. The price is roughly $8.50 for the cable. Anyway, I was quoted $60 dollars for the splitter cable from one shop and I decided to source it myself. The delivery took anout 2 weeks and it comes with a tracking number.

Hi Kohanson,

�

Good move !

�

I was charged SGD60 for the same damn 1 to 2 extension cord but helped 40+ bros on good quality 1 to 3 extension cord for SGD10 who also installed the auto central lock obd module with various ethrottles, BT OBD dongle, etc.

�

Hope shops will not longer have the chance to make 5 times the cost which is a bit too much.

2 months of waiting, finally my order of Bilstein B6 damper for our QQ 1.2T arrived.

A short trip from Sin Ming back home around 20km. I go by upper Thomson cause the road is more irregular than CTE. The Bilstein is much much better than our original damper.�
From first day I got my QQ, I always complaint it's bumpy, after changed to primacy it's better.
Now with Bilstein the bumpy no more instead it give a much comfortable ride.

Anybody has any suggestions on a suitable and not too expensive car cover for our Qashqai? Will be away and car out in the sun for 2 weeks.

Dropped by Aestmod. Installed new horns and mesh grille. Only left with the plastic honeycomb for the external one. Since not as nice as the metallic diamond-shaped ones, decided to install the internal one.

Car very 'horny' now...i like.

How much are the horns and mesh grill at astemod?

How much are the horns and mesh grill at astemod?

They only have stock for the Hella Red Twin Tones if im not wrong. $65 with installation. Internal grille $100 and $180 for honeycomb.

Yup. On the spot. Internal grille installation should be able to complete in an hr. I was told the external one needs abt 2hrs since need to cut.

On the advise of one of the bros here, i went down early, ard 945. Already got one car there. From my experience, the place is always full.

Hi guys,

�

received my QQ 2.0 1+ weeks ago. Less than 3 weeks after making payment. Quite fast I felt although I paid a crazy price. lol.

�

Anyways, was hoping bros/sis can share some info here pls.

�

1. I manage to bargain to change radio antenna to shark fin if I want, but SE says reception not so good on shark fin and once change he not going to change back for me. So he give me time to decide. Is it worth changing?

�

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.

�

Please share!

Thanks in advance.

Nash

Hi everyone,

�

Finally made up my mind and will getting this 1.2 ride

�

Can share what you all got from your agents?

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.

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.

2017 Nissan Qashqai Facelift

�

The new Nissan Qashqai will certainly be externally very attractive and modern, it is predicted the front bumper of the model will certainly be massive and can be designed with fog lamps and air intake. The front cover of the model is a distinctive V shape as the majority of Nissan models. The front and rear lights of the model will certainly be designed with LED bulbs. 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.

i am getting about 10.3L/100Km or about 9.3km/L. what is experience of other QQ2L owner ?

�

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. :XD:

Rear aircon makes a car more comfortable and luxury, should add for new facelift.

Is it worth adding the clear film for the headlights? The workshop said it'll prevent the plastic discoloration and provides some protection against stones. Quoted 120 to do that.

Some questions on qq.

1) Papago does not auto start when I start the engine on several occasion. I have to hold the on button for it to start.

2) What do I need to observe for the engine oil? I heard some encountered issue of overfilled or under filled.

3) At the map light, there is a button which looks like wifi. Anyone know what is that?

Is it worth adding the clear film for the headlights? The workshop said it'll prevent the plastic discoloration and provides some protection against stones. Quoted 120 to do that.

Thought discolouration is due to headlight material. Skeptical about film can help much against stones. Just my humble opinions.

Some questions on qq.

1) Papago does not auto start when I start the engine on several occasion. I have to hold the on button for it to start.
�

Have it rectified at TC at your next servicing. I had intermittent recording issues with Papago as well. Got it rectified last week at TC.

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.�

�

Bro i got the shark fin antenna from my SE. Need intro let me know. Hope u get a good deal!

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....

Thanks

Which White is widely chosen, Pearl or Artic?

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.

Heheh. Sounds good. Cheap mods I'm in :)

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.

Cheers,

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?

Try this u wouldn't regret:

The front windscreen wipers are auto rain sensors. What about the back windscreen? Have to on-off manually?

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.

Edited by Marcostan, 03 August 2016 - 11:04 AM.

Set mine 24 with fan at 2nd bar. Internal circulation. No problem at noon or night, hot or cold weather. At 25 deg, mine will be hot too, especially noon time.

Thanx dash

�

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.......

�

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!�

Dear All,

�

I'm looking to swap rims with any Qashqai 2.0 owners intending to upgrade from their stock 19" rims to 20" size.

�

My wife and mum drives the car most of the time these days, therefore no need for 20" rims, although I still find them really beautiful!

�

Spec:

-Original Rays Stratagia Diavola 20" black chrome wheels

-Michelin Pilot Super Sports (245/40ZR20) tires, with less than 8000km.

�

Bought these brand new from Leong Seng, and fits the current QQ perfectly. Both rims and tires are in excellent condition, and am looking for trade with the OEM 19" rims/tires, and slight top up.

�

PM me if interested - I posted this in the QQ Whatsapp group chat as well.

�

cheers!

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.

Hi Candilious,

Can i know where you did your PPS?

Just for sharing.

I did my PPS on my pearlie white qashqai at New Age Polish.

Satisfactory with the application and Gabriel is friendly with his professional advice in detailing.

My car seems to be protected by a coating.

I am very perculiar with car cleanliness. With the coating, the watermarks, bird shit etc are much easier to clean.

Scratch wise. I have not tried. Touch wood.

Price wise. Seem reasonable to me after comparing a few quotations.

Hi Candilious,

Hi BreezyWind,

1 year + issue due to local fitting/wiring but also a bit on the design of the glove compartment.

Surprised TC did not get it fixed as standard SOP and keep irritating new owners :( Guess management is not aware else the Service team will get into hot soup ....

Cheers,

Apparently rattling is not caused by glove box compartment

It took half a day for Service center to rectify the rattling. This time round, they bundle and insulate the wires to prevent vibrating against the plastic dashboard.

You should raise this to the service officer that this issue is not new and they should put this in their SOP for all new cars, or rather ask them to raise to their factory when they manufacture the cars. �It is a nuisance for the owner to keep complaining the same issues.

For my case, it is mounting issue. The mechanic can rectify it easily at service center.

Went to TC, they told me is engine mounting. �Tester claimed that TC will change the it and told adviser straight to order it.�I highlighted that is only 1 week, how could be engine mounting? �Seems like the tester is a sub-con and adviser may take kopi from them. �It would be more acceptable if they claim some lubrication could resolve it.� ��

�

After reverse and brake, no sound leh...

Mine was about 3 weeks before getting the sound. And it was left side too. The Mechanic greases the mounting and it was fine.

Your ride is only 1 weeks and u need to replace the mounting.

A Group of Qashqai Owners and their families/children, started our 9th August 2016 morning on a note for charity.

A total of 23 Qashqais were on the road, towards Ling Kwang Home (Serangoon Gardens).

All rice were donated from different walks and we delivered a total of 3000kg of rice (120 x 25kg), for the nursing home.

These rice will last them for the next 9 months.

It was a tremendous experience, looking at how 7 different car groups came together for a good cause.

It may be some of our first, but it will not be the last definitely.

Happy 51st Birthday Singapore!

I just collected mine earlier. Now still monitoring the ride. Definitely much enjoyable ride without the irritating noises.

Rattling noise - rectified by fixing the glove box compartment
Knocking noise - rectified by greasing the mounting
Both noises are on the left side.

Keeping my fingers cross. Hopefully they are fixed indefinitely.

So far is it solve by greasing the mounting? They dismantle it to grease or simply apply without dismantle it? Done from Ubi TC, right?

Sorry, what I meant to write is:

"You need to check whether your other insurance cover allows you to repair at Nissan authorized workshops, coz if need to repair at only certain workshops designated by the insurer (non-Nissan) might void the Nissan warranty."

Yes, any workshop should mean any including Nissan. For your information, I bought NTUC Drivo Premium which allows me to repair at "owner's preferred workshop" for my new QQ.�'s ins.

�

I think NTUC Drivo Premium Insurance premium is higher than TC's tied-in AIG's insurance policies. One reason is that of "owner's" preferred workshop choice.

�

Moreover NTUC has probably better field support when motor accidents assistance is required. They have this orange force thingy to help out their clients on the spot.

Thinking of changing to Aunty Lucy's when my insurance renewal is due. �

Beware, i sent to ubi checking only, the tester said to change engine mounting after going a small round inside the basement. I told them i took the car only for a week. How can that be? And the tester even asked the advisor check stock and order it. Fainted!

Very worried if they start to dismantle our parts and selling it outside.

Reaching 1k soon, which service centre can we see them doing our car?

3M insulation works like damping material to prevent sound waves from boucing all over especially against vibrating metal of door that create more distortion. Sound will be clearer, louder without more volume cos you hear less distortion wtc.

soundproofing can only reduce the road nosie to a certain extend. The main root cause is your tyres. Change to comfort/quiet tyres will greater reduce road noise.Also bear in mind SUV will surely be noiser than sedan no matter how we sound proof them.

Hello there...

�

Is there a temp indicator for our QQ 1.2? For past rides, there's a temp indicator (blue in color) and usually it goes off after driving a short distance when the engine is sufficiently heated up. For some reason I don't seem to be able to see any blue light whenever I start engine for our QQ.

�

Have been following this forum on and off and have read about the durability of our stock batt. In the past I was told that it is better, though not a must esp on super hot days, to drive the car until the blue light goes off then you start the air-con so that the batt gets sufficient power (after being charged up a little) before you power up the air-cons to "protect' the batt?? These days I just start up the engine with everything on ie. HU and air-con and I wonder if it's a huge drain on the batt since our HU has many more features which probably draws more juice from the batt and hence affects it's lifespan?? Should I warm up the engine to charge up the batt a little before switching on the HU and air-con at the beginning of each day?

Hi Ben,

�

Battery is just a dummy reservoir for needed currently for cranking up or starting engine ... at least for typical car.

�

When your engine is switched on, it drives the alternator that feeds your aircon and all other car electrical components and then your battery. �All these are with intelligent electronics such that the larger than required current from the alternator will also get to charge your battery if it is in good condition i.e. the car battery is not running your air con.

�

No worry for new car to start with aircon switched on as there is delay after cracking up the engine to prevent current being pulled from the battery by the complete car electrical components.

�

However, stop-start operations had to obvious get current from somewhere when engine and alternator is not running and hence it drains your battery as well as you will notice aircon not cold or even smelly because it is simply not enuff to power the aircon or switches off intermittently.

�

Hence stop-stop requires certainly battery types and our stock in 1.2l is ecf type for stop-start while even more complex hybrid cars requires agm type for quickest recharge from regenerative system from braking and yet able to discharge/work repeatedly for best performances and hence associated cost.

�

Hope this helps.

�

Hi Pocy,

�

As meemee advised, there is no end on car audio or home audio and you need to determine your budget and work around that.

�

Just for reference, beginner install at emma competition starts at SGD5k without installation ... my advice is that you have to first listen to the speakers to like its characteristic and then work backward to required amplifiers and required processors if you wish to go thus far.

�

There is also decision to be made on whether you wish for 2 ways or 3 ways set up and 3 ways being preferred especially if you are into vocal. �Note however that since you want to keep stock HU, you will be limited on SQ since it has no digital output and sound quality will be affected since any digital source is converted to analogue source at HU to go into the processor �for conversion back to digital for processing before being converted again to analogue signal to drive your amplifiers and then the speakers. With digital output of some headunit, digital source is then directly processes and you eliminate 2 out of the 3 conversions.

�

For best effect, car audio enthusiasts are selfish people and do not bother with rear speakers since it only acts to pull back the staging while they aspire to push out the soundstage with tuning of processor to emulate sound quality like going to a concert and we are not referring to church hall or sensurround movie.

�

�

Further to what Richard said, I think you should just enjoy your drive and not worry too much. If you have to follow the procedure you described, then it is very complicated. Start car, wait for blue light to go off, then turn on air-con, then HU? Then GPS? Then to stop car, you need to do everything in reverse? I think the savings in battery life, if any, will not be much.

�

Just accept that today's battery no longer last like yesterday's. I turn on everything, plus charge two phones, one power bank, and sometimes one more Garmin GPS. And just enjoy.

�

�

Hi Dash1234,

�

Indeed no answer to this road/tyre noise else car manufacturer within design budget would have done so .... including more solid engine mounting, double grazed glass, vacuum seal, bigger suspension system, double compartment engine bay etc. like merc s class, bmw 7 or lexus.

�

Sure, sound proof help a little but will also add weight, increased FC and worse of all, focus higher noise to behind the firewall and dash that you cannot insert sound proof material which makes it worse sounding since relative .... and you probably have to rev your engine harder if you get overboard with sound proofing which will also introduce higher noise. �

�

You can alternatively try the door rubber tubing to double seal the door that some of the whatsapp bros diy or get the complete sets on taobao that does help a little without major increase in weight of typical soundproof material.

�

For car audio enthusiasts, we add sound proof material to prevent vibration of door panel ... both self generated if too thin and also to stop such vibration noise especially when louder notes are sounded from the speakers.

�

For me, an audio system with less distortion than stock is my solution cos I hear only purer music notes without distortion or tyre/road noise.

�

Hence stop-stop requires certainly battery types and our stock in 1.2l is ecf type for stop-start while even more complex hybrid cars requires agm type for quickest recharge from regenerative system from braking and yet able to discharge/work repeatedly for best performances and hence associated cost.

Thanks Laoda, it's enlightening. Make sense too. How durable is the Varta batt? I recalled my past batts last around 1.5-2 yrs on average... and I can even play CD or radio for quite awhile (waiting for friends in the car) without cranking up the engine!�

Hello there...

�

Is there a temp indicator for our QQ 1.2? For past rides, there's a temp indicator (blue in color) and usually it goes off after driving a short distance when the engine is sufficiently heated up. For some reason I don't seem to be able to see any blue light whenever I start engine for our QQ.

�

Have been following this forum on and off and have read about the durability of our stock batt. In the past I was told that it is better, though not a must esp on super hot days, to drive the car until the blue light goes off then you start the air-con so that the batt gets sufficient power (after being charged up a little) before you power up the air-cons to "protect' the batt?? These days I just start up the engine with everything on ie. HU and air-con and I wonder if it's a huge drain on the batt since our HU has many more features which probably draws more juice from the batt and hence affects it's lifespan?? Should I warm up the engine to charge up the batt a little before switching on the HU and air-con at the beginning of each day?

�

Anyone any thoughts? Any electronic engineers, scientist, etc. can shed some light?�

Cheers

Ben

Hi Ben to add to richard's comment (one of the elders who gives very gd advices when he comes online) you can actualli switch off everything when u switch off engine, in this way nthg is switched on when u switch on the engine..

Hi Ben,

�

Really dun know for our Qashqai since not used but for my estima, typical battery last 1 year but Varta silver last 2 years and estima is also known to kill battery due to high current powered auto doors.

�

Varta silver AGM for regenerative hybrid is a bit overkill SGD400+ but�with outstanding cranking current, no. of discharges, ease in charging etc. but Varta blue ecb which is recommended for the 1.2L stop-start with same ecb technology seems to be a good bet at SGD250 against TC's ecb replacement at SGD175.

Hi Ben,

�

Haha ... better dun play your hifi without cranking up the engine. �

�

If it discharge too rapidly and beyond some low level, you damage your battery. �

�

Hence even if quite new battery but depleted flat due to leaking etc. there is good change you cannot recharge and have to dump it for new one cos already damaged but since you obviously could start car, you had not gone beyond the low level but not recommended ... strongly :)

Hi Meemee,

Retuning needed for sure but much less deviation from previous 2 way when you had to tune like mad and compromise sound integrity cos trying to do so from midbass feom side door to center above dash.

Now, it should be more natural with less deviation from less deviation or more flat eq, less compressed than with pods with increased volume of enclosure and better staging and imaging since midrange drivers are already physically above dash.

Happy tuning for more challenging 3 ways on crossover point and you may next consider full 8 channels processor cos think yours still not ..keke !

Cheers.

Went to TC, they told me is engine mounting. Tester claimed that TC will change the it and told adviser straight to order it. I highlighted that is only 1 week, how could be engine mounting? Seems like the tester is a sub-con and adviser may take kopi from them. It would be more acceptable if they claim some lubrication could resolve it.

After reverse and brake, no sound leh...

I went to bukit timah instead. The "click-clock" sound from engine compartment was eliminated after greasing the gearbox mounting.

Hi everyone, I'm Joe

I had been reading quite abit on tis forum for the pass few months before deciding on which car to go for. I must say thanks to all your reviews & comments here.

Nevertheless after years of afair with my latio, I've now learn why most old timers still prefer a nissan. Not tat their stylish nor fast but mostly i guess it's not much of a problem throughout the years despite the normal wear n tear, FC was ok and it seems pretty reliable.

Well there's many likes and dislikes on the qashqai which brings down to each individual liking i guess. Anyway here's my half bucket England of comments hopefully not too long of a share story!

Here it goes....
I'm not really a car person but oh well it's time for a change on my 4 wheelers as my paper life comes towards it's edge. Conti was on my mind if the bill fits. Price, service/warranty, fuel economy and durability were considerable priority. Took me a few months of exploring research and test drv tat it came to my understand of something rather unusual.

Despite the bigger cc engine in most Europe cars. Almost all makers are coming out or u may say down with a smaller CC engin, some with light assisted turbo. Some weighing almost 1.3 to 1.5 tonne or more, and some with a crazy 3 cylinders??? My goodness! Isn't tat back to the future? Remember tat famous 1.3 rotary engine with twin turbo! Lol! Lots of problem but still people want it! Eco seems tobe the inn thing rite now as fuel is becoming more on the hi side.

SUV wasn't in my list as I've driven one previously and it has a bad drinking problem which u can't possibly imagine. I could buy a new paystation every month just on my patrol bill alone lol! I was thinking if u were to do sales dont get a SUV ha!

Soon after my mindset had completely changed.
Almost all are going for eco mode. Power, yes! Fuel economy, yes!, durability?, well hopefully yes! Mostly for me, not much of a long distance driving in SG unless i hit Malaysia for a getaway.

I've driven many makers of cars over the years, somehow they have their own individual style and quality and it's very subjective. Bad reviews mostly on common problems, glitches here and there, the more serious once with someother new cars. I've been in and seen through it before, seriously it's much worst which will make your days trun into a never-ending black.

As my decision scale down, reading all the reviews and comments here n there, still having some doubt, keeping my fingers crossed! I've decided to stick my trust back to nissan again.

Yes! "Qashqai" the only Q'Q' without the chery on top and it's English made. Yes I've brought it! My first or u may say second elephant but tis time it's powered by a 1.2 turbo engine instead of a 2L. Anyway i love the 2L QQ too but did u guys see a cute Little intercooler on the 1.2? Did i see wrongly?!? It's not light assist for sure lol!

Most turbo cars hv leck i must say.. But then adding a super charger may seems over killing for the 1.2 cvt, it's really not tat much of a leck and It takes awhile getting use to after my first few days of driving. If u were to ask me how's my feeling? I would say.... I'm relief.....contended....and loving it more each day....!

(I'm relief)
I'm a heavy footed old man lol! Love to launch and be up front during a traffic stop. Very bad habits maybe because i ride too. Even then, not looking at the papers. The 1.2 have a decent FC for me.

I'm not comparing it with other makers but lets just do it with my old latio. QQ has a 55l tank which i think it's 10l or 15l more compare to latio & so in real life it should be fetching more km. And yes it did on my first fill up, not to say doing lots of engine idling for the first few days trying to figure out my way with all the alien function and buttons around my cockpit lol!

(I'm contended)
Sound proofing was decent... the stock Head Unit sounds better then i aspected to my surprise, but the horn sound..., the sound is really been block i guess wahaha.... At first when i sound off my horn, i was like saying to myself... goodness me... How can i possibly be the king! I must change it for sure. But soon after i decided not to... Why? Actually I've try to sound it off with my doors open standing outside beside my car...
It's nice and loud with abit of light base .... Not those irritating Sharp horn, it's really a nice sound. The British had done a nice job on the fire wall i must say. If i were to do I'll Probably install another killer horn with a additional button.

(Loving it)
Have u guys try driving the car on a normal mode? I mean eco off! Start stop off!... Disengage the pedal assist! Switch to manual mode if you wish! Turn on tat power aggressive driving style! Oh wow! Oh wow...! Not the rex tat u want but a decent enough punch to catch some nasties and it'll definitely put a big smile for sure. Do note turbocharged runs alot more warmer so try doing it on a cooler days since we don't get snow here.

Oh well.... Thanks for reading my bad England guys, like some saying... know very little but talk alot. Hope i won't bore anyone.... Ok ok will catch up soon and u guys Keep up with the comments n review ya! It helps! Especially on the DIY part! Where to get tis where to get tat! Really love reading it on my free time.

Cheers!

Do they run a dedicated wire from your battery and use the supplied relay, or take the easy way out by connecting to the fuse box? Because if they do it the proper way, that seems really cheap to me, so thumbs up for that.

At first it seems to make sense (eg. military antenna are pretty long but these are very old eqpt!!) but given modern technology, I've sat in a friend's conti car with shark fin antenna, the signal is pretty good along the entire stretch of NS highway in M'sia!! Of cse not S'pore stations all the way (altho still can receive pretty clearly far up north) but all local stations in M'sia can be clearly received. Not sure if conti cars are using digital shark fin hence the reception is stronger???

Hi Linbo, please share if it works... cos the User Manual says "the map from internet is not compatible with our HU". Any chance you register with Galactio (based on the web address on the CD)? If registered that means we can download maps ourselves?

�

Getting the map and uploading onto a GPS (be it Garmin, Tom Tom, Marbello, etc.) is so easy these days and if we could do it ourselves, it's so much more convenient for drivers!! Quite silly to have to go back to TC for such trivial things and it's a waste of resources both from drivers and TC!

Bought the premium one not the lite. Cause the 5 year warranty is a better option. Got it $106. But freebies not as good as what some of them got in the forum.

Interest rate is high 2.78%

Honda is very cheap around 2.1~%

What freebies? Front and back camera? Is it 5 year service? 5 year warranty is standard. The service 5 years is a good offer. I think this round Coe might go up seeing the number of booking at Toyota, Nissan and Honda. Then maybe 2 months to drop?

WISH is a good choice.
It is so versatile in term of seating capacity and cargo space.
No nonsense car with good FC, Juz that it's near the end of it product life cycle. The gadgets we got in Qashqai cannot be found in WISH. Then again, is a totally different kind of platform to compare.

3. Anyone knows how long the battery for our remote key last?

�

1. If I am not wrong, our 1.2T engine is HRA2DDT.

�

2. My SE installed for me. I understand the stock screw-on antennae is removed and the based covered with just a piece of plastic shark fin. stuck onto the surface of the car roof. On the basis that the screw-on antennae is supposed to make reception better, I would think the shark fin antennae can only be worse, not better. Indeed my radio reception is horrible. Certainly, the shark fin antennae will not improve reception unless you got one that has special wiring for improving reception.

�

3. Dunno but based on my previous cars, should be few years, and the batteries can be easily changed.

Does anybody here encounter the child locks auto disengage after a few times you open the door?

�

I noticed that the child lock moved from locked position to unlocked position after a few times. My son managed to open the door while the car is moving and luckily I was just moving out from the car park and manage to stop the car and locked the door again.

�

So now every time before I closed the door I double check the child lock is in the engage position. Gonna report this to TC when I send my car for 1K service.

�

An update to the child lock auto disengage issue. Went for my 5K servicing few days back and TC change the lock assembly for the rear passenger door where i put my child seat in. Still don't want to try my luck and using a scotch tape to secure the latch. For bro/sis who has this issue, can ask for a lock assembly change as well.

1. throttle controller

done some research and there seems to be 2 that are suggested for the QQ - pivot (3 drive flat i think) and racechip (response control).

anyone using either of this ? what is the feedback on these 2 products?

Is there noticeable ride improvement if i am a more heavy footed type driver ?

How easy is the manual installation?

any issue with TC warranty on this ?

2. Guniang Horn - yikes

living with the horn for almost a year. its time to change. even told by my little nephew that it sounds weird.

looking for sort of deep sounding type horn. Any recommendations?

Bro, pivot flat connect to OBD. Racechip ethrottle connects to throttle control. Different connection and sames function. Improve acceleration. Pivot looks nicer with display while racechip ethrottle with buttons only. It is a must to improve acceleration for heavy footed driver.

�

No issues with TC on warranty. Just leave it there...

�

For horns, go asetmod and try la.... they have a few types and not sure now. Please check with them.

Paiseh on the seats issues as mine is black but I dont faced any issues even my QQ is 1 year old now.

All packages are not including CVT fluid change. �If you want it cost you $198.

I did ask SA, he told me according to the service manual, it only need to change when u reach 100,000km.

100k most of us already out of warranty, if the gearbox need to replace or overhaul that mean you need to pay from your pocket.

�

Ah ha, I will change the fluid every 20K and it might save me few thousand to change or overhaul the CVT box.

For those who still believe what they suggest and prepare to change only when the mileage reach 100K.

NPMP by right should include all. Is not really attractive for $1400++ as a package. Of course by left they can do anything they want. We only LL have to go back to them becos of warranty and their so call 'expertise'. Was at Ubi for servicing, SA seems like do not equip with the basic knowledge of the cars that they're servicing. Location of aircon filter, they need to hunt up and down, ask what model they carry for Bridgestone tyres, they also dunno. Really suck thumb.

Hi Pocy,
Sorry,, my SA - Service Advisor.
It cost more for per servicing as compared to NPMP as what some Bros here mentioned before.

Just passed 1k servicing, when should be a good time to sign up?

Did anyone use this .... Woots lol

Defcom81,

Careful with this and remove immediately after use. It continues to suck current after you switch off engine and on removal means flat and damaged battery.

Get those with on off switch or those that off itself but need to unplug/plug back which is ridiculous.

Cheers.

You can sign up after your free servicing depending if you're free till 10k or 50k. Can use DUO pts to offset a small amount but need to print and present them with your voucher. Ubi service centre quite rigid regarding this. Don't understand why they make it so troublesome to make such a simple redemption.

To what I know only MFM maps can be uploaded into our system. Unlike Garmin u can download Malsingmaps or Jerome Wee maps.

As of now the latest update is at Jul 2016, posted in Aug 2016 in MFM forums. Will have to wait for updated SG maps, maybe another 1 or 2 months time.

Just remember our systems GPS software are constantly being upgraded. Just need to maintain the software update and u can upload MFM maps inside.

Or u can get TC to update for u FOC (one time only) when u go for servicing. Just remember to restore back to original backup of your SD card (if u have upload MFM maps) when u do FOC upgrade.

Last paragraph, "restore backup to original of your SD card" meaning do a backup and save in SD card? How to do the backup?

So backup first (presuming uploaded MFM) then give TC to do the update?

1. If I am not wrong, our 1.2T engine is HRA2DDT.

�

2. My SE installed for me. I understand the stock screw-on antennae is removed and the based covered with just a piece of plastic shark fin. stuck onto the surface of the car roof. On the basis that the screw-on antennae is supposed to make reception better, I would think the shark fin antennae can only be worse, not better. Indeed my radio reception is horrible. Certainly, the shark fin antennae will not improve reception unless you got one that has special wiring for improving reception.

�

3. Dunno but based on my previous cars, should be few years, and the batteries can be easily changed.

�

Thks, Kstoh.

�

2. Ya, I think most after mkt shark fins are just cosmetic ie. not genuine. Shall browse around Taobao or others for any new innovations for the after mkt pdts. :)

3. My previous rides mostly not keyless and my friends who hv keyless remote had to change fairly frequent say, 1 yrs or so??? Just wonder how lasting is ours... yup, changing batteries shd be quite easy. let me go check up on the battery model. :)�

HLim,

I would ALWAYS stay with OEM ATF CVT oil ... everything to lose with tested performance and nothing to gain unless you know what and have resources and technical capability to test.

Just change more often like 40-50k km compared to recommemded 100k km which I would avoid.

NPMP by right should include all. Is not really attractive for $1400++ as a package. Of course by left they can do anything they want. We only LL have to go back to them becos of warranty and their so call 'expertise'. Was at Ubi for servicing, SA seems like do not equip with the basic knowledge of the cars that they're servicing. Location of aircon filter, they need to hunt up and down, ask what model they carry for Bridgestone tyres, they also dunno. Really suck thumb.

TC servicing really CMI! Had an accident from rear end. Did the repair at TC BT, collected car after 6pm. Their mechanic left the rubbish inside my boot and the new tow hook cover with packaging still inside. They put back my old damage tow hook cover! After warranty I will definitely go outside workshop.

Is it part of their rules n regulations? Anything replaced, they will leave it there so that owners recognised that it was replaced with new.

Last time my fuse replaced, they left it inside too.

My radio reception is very bad. BBC can hardly hear. Other channels vary.

For my shark fin antennae, my SE confirmed that it is just a piece of plastic cover. No antennae wiring at all. In this case, the shark fin antennae can NEVER be better than the original stock stick out antennae.

Where can I get a proper shark fin antennae with wiring that is supposed to improve the radio reception? Or no point?

You can get it online but don't buy the cheapo type. Is just wasting your $$. Go for those with strong signal which easily cost you $20 and above. If install at accessories shop, it should cost you abt $45. Nonetheless, nothing beat the original antenna. It's one of its kind, Super good and clear signal and best of all, not bad looking too.

Hi all,

�Car newbie here. Got my 2.0 and had my 1k servicing a while ago.

I must thank everyone here coz I read all the forum (Part 1 and Part 2) posts which helped me made up my mind to choose this over Vezel and Kadjar. :-). A very happy owner here.

�

I love the easy handling of this car for my daily city drive. Just a small complain that I feel that there is a lack of power at 1.5krpm and often I have to rev till 2k for moving off, and 2.5k for uphill, and its just me and a skinny child passenger (and no spare tire) in the car.

�

I have a few questions here and hope someone can help :-)

1. How do I rest the trip meter (not the total km traveled)?

I can reset trip A and B but there is a separate trip meter and trip time which I can't find the way to reset.

�

Any lobang for ? and where to install? Can't be OBD2 port right?

Need better audio to cover road noise

Hi all,
Car newbie here. Got my 2.0 and had my 1k servicing a while ago.
I must thank everyone here coz I read all the forum (Part 1 and Part 2) posts which helped me made up my mind to choose this over Vezel and Kadjar. :-). A very happy owner here.

I love the easy handling of this car for my daily city drive. Just a small complain that I feel that there is a lack of power at 1.5krpm and often I have to rev till 2k for moving off, and 2.5k for uphill, and its just me and a skinny child passenger (and no spare tire) in the car.

I have a few questions here and hope someone can help :-)
1. How do I rest the trip meter (not the total km traveled)?
I can reset trip A and B but there is a separate trip meter and trip time which I can't find the way to reset.

2. Is the + - shift next to D usable only in Sports mode?

3. What's the proper way to use it? Like, what's the difference between down shifting and just rev more by pressing harder on the accelerator?

Much thanks to all!

Many mod which can have more power

But do take note that also need to increase braking power

1. If you are referring to ODO, you can't reset..but I think you may be referring to something else. Can show pic ?

2. +/- shift can be used even in normal mode

3. It is to manually override auto gear which may take longer time to shift up (especially with CVT with rubber effect). Use this it will sort of address your issue. �

Agree with Appirium that QQ 2.0 is sluggish during pickup if compared with other 2.0L l Always drive leisurely so it's fine with me.

Add $4K. Same engine as Lite. Lite model has less Accessories. Eg. No leather seats, no GPS and reverse camera, no spare printed door panels and rear bumper diffuser.

After paying about $100k for the car, I feel it is worth it to pay another $4k for these items that make it more "luxurious". When you sell your car, you probably can get at least $2k more.

�

They will not bid 44k for your purchase but will be higher maybe towards the 49k region at least? You can check the bid they put for you on the bidding day then you roughly know for the next few bids how much higher than 44k they are likely to bid for you.

�

However, for 8 bids no guarantee, you are not likely to get your COE (even after 8 buds) unless there is a sudden big drop of the COE price. Normally they will ask you to top up 1K+ to 2K after the next unsuccessful bids so that they will bid higher for you (where normally after the top up, you should get your car in the next 1 to 2 bids). Hence, if you can wait and want to try your luck (waiting for a drastic drop of the COE) then take the 8 bids price. If not better take the 6 bids non guarantee (aka as more of guarantee COE), you are very likely to get your COE on the first bid if not second.

This is different from what my SE tell me :) What my SE tell me is that alot of SE will first get the buyer to go for non guaranteed COE sign up to lock you down first and after a few unsuccessful bids they will ask you to top up and if you do not, they will continue the bidding. Often or not, those who top up after a few bids will get the COE on the next bid. Those who did not top up will wait longer and often did not get the COE.

�

My SE has been very honest with me and never push me to sign for the booking and ask me to wait for COE to drop further before booking if I can wait as no point locking myself to the COE price that I do not want and then the COE has a drop later.

�

My personal point of view, COE is not going to have a drastic drop as gov will control the price but putting new policy once the COE price drop to certain level (the next policy change will likely be allowing back to 10 years loan and then you see the COE price goes up again).�

1) 8 bids non-guaranteed (the confirm non guaranteed bids that will depend on luck and a drastic drop of COe to get)

�

Booked my 2.0 under 8 bids NG. The COE rebate level was at $45K.

�

SE was recommending to take up the 6 bids NG, as chances of getting COE for 8 bids NG is low unless COE drop.

I told her I will go for 8 bid first and if COE goes up, then I will consider top up.

�

Got the COE for the 1st bid (in Aug 2nd bidding). Successful bid price $56.5K. TC bidded 56.8K. A close one, lucky for me.

�

My conclusion is that, for the 8 bids NG, there is a chance only if the COE dip, no need to drop drastically, probably abt $2K. But if COE maintain or up, then no chance.

Your SE is more truthful IMHO. However, bear in mind the list prices usually do not reflect the actual COE differences. Tend to list higher prices when COE up but list prices don't come down that amount of COE drop.

You are lucky! Maybe that is for Cat B but as I know Cat A is rather difficult to get if you go for 8 bids and not top up. The last bid, I am sure those go for 8 bids for CAT A did not get it but for those with 6 bids got it even when the COE drop 2.3K for CAT A.�

Grounding

1) better spark voltage = more complete fuel burn = more power + better gas mileage
2) better battery charging characteristics
3) ability to run more electrical components with less effect on your electrical system (rally lights, stereo, gps, heater etc)
4) everything electrical performs better (headlights is most noticeable)

Your whole car depends on your electrical system. When I buy a new (to me) car the first thing I do is make sure the electrical system is running as best as it possibly can.

But again ---- depend on the qlty of the cable .......
Copper is the best conductor

Please don't get those aluminum tinted type

Asking if i were to change batteries at TC, will the wiring etc be affected. Or do i have to return to the shop to redo?

Like I have mentioned, on last wed bid I got my COE in the first bid for 6 bids non guaranteed and they bid around 55k for my COE. The CAT A COE drop to 51.5k from 53.8k in Aug last bid. And if I am not wrong a few of them here who was on the 8 bids non guarantee non of them got the COE so TC must have bil lower than 51.5k.

Hi guys... Seems like alot more cash qai on the road since I've gotten my car. Hope your car give u more cash to qai instead of qai...ing more cash on the car, for me I'm cashing in some light DIY lol!

Hv you guys updated on the software recently? It Seems like a different set-up on the ecu, trotter responds seem better with a faster pick up just on a light tap. But i prefer the old setup doh...well I'm still loving my ride since day 1.

Anyway here's my half bucket of England again but tis time I'm be sharing some DIY I'm doing and hope it will interest you.

Other then the coe, whether it's a 2l or a 1.2 qq.... The car seems pretty well built in the hands of the Englishman don't u guys agreed.

Well some may say of cause I'll praise my ride since I've gotten it. But frankly speaking I've got many doubt before buying lol!

Anyway happens tobe with one of my mechanic friend from overseas recently....and as usual his bad habits of checking out my ride....

Humm.... He said.... i notice your car is reasonably quiet. Notice the rear wheel arch, inside it's carpeted. It's use in most conti to isolate noise from stones pebbles and water splash. Trust me most hatch back are very noisy, tis helps alot.

I hate those cheap plastic push lock nuts and clips clams he added... QQ seems tobe using a higher grade materia. But it's still not a 100% perfect in some areas.

The greatest enemy is the heat, when he pop the hoot, It's burning hot... but most turbo cars do... surprisingly most of the stuff needed is there. Intercooler...oil cooler Etc.... Etc....but do remember turbo cars are more costly to repair...Grounding looks good but some hot spots may be consider.

Soon after I've got myself some DEI products from our local agent. Wire/trunking heat shield, battery heat shield.... Etc....especially on the battery from my experience, heat shield is a must! There's also other brands u may try but i prefer DEI.

Oh trust me... It's as easy as putting on a baby's diaper lol! Anyway it's a on going project not fully done up. Hopefully my share helpes for some, it's just a simple clip on product to shield the heat. Try go do some read up if u can. It's good.

If u were tobe like me which prefers running the car stock and without any warranty issues. Tis simple hop up's you may consider which had proven over the years both on road, on track and most modify driver's would do.

Sorry i can't or dont know why i can't post photos maybe It's only my second post.

Well there's many more stuff to share but probably next time... Think I'm too long winded as some may feel lol!

Published is 16-17. The SE told me will not get this fc maybe around 12 which is true

Ok to me as its seems my other cars were also around this fc range.

Tq, I am 70%city 30% HW or less that's why concern on FC. Heard hybrid car more suitable for city driving though.

Hi,

�

So you just sign up for 8 bids non guarantee at $105,800? Did you check how much they out in for your bid yesterday?

�

They will likely get you to top up another 1k+ in the next 2 bids if you still do not get it. What are the Freebies you get from your SE? From Ubi or there

I got another 1K discount. They bid around 49K+ for me.�

Hope that they will not ask me to top up as I am not keen at all to do that.�

The usual freebies, and I think the SE throw in the magnetic sunshades from his pocket.

My agent is from LK. Not bad service. Very patient during the purchase and also give a call soon after the closing of the COE bidding to update me. �

Since you are not in a hurry then it is fine. Anyway expect your SE to ask you to top up after a few bids to get the car if COE remain around the same :) I did ask my SE if the facelift QQ coming to SG but was told there is no news.�

Hi Tyer & JuzFXT,

So both of you TC bid 49k for you which is like 4K lower than the amount they bid for me. The initial bid they put is 53K then raise it to 55K as they wanted to get the COE for me, 8 bids will really be tough but who knows, you might have a chance next bid if COE reduce again to near 50k (finger cross) and TC decide to bid 1 more K for both of you by raising the bid in the later part of the bidding time.

�

By the way, you can ask for more freebies beside the usual front and back cam and the solar film. So talk to your SE but I did that before i do my booking so not sure if your SE will give you more freebies after you have done your booking. Anyway, no harm asking :)

BTW anyone know why are there is a control on the number of post we can make each day and need what approval from others to allow you to post more?

Got my QQ for about three months now and enjoying the ride...QQ got lots of road presence.
Was cleaning the window stains after lunch at a AMK carpark and beside a merz driver suddenly making small talk asking about QQ fc, driving experience etc... Thinks he like the QQ :)

By the way, any QQ owners have this slight sweet aroma coming from the aircon in the morning?

Nissan Qashqai has that bespoke presence that catches the attention of owners of more expensive Premium makes. It's as good as a continental car, being assembled in the United Kingdom.

Slap a BMW or Mercedes Benz badge on the Nissan Qashqai and expect to pay at least 50% more.

The rear wheel arch, inside it's carpeted. It's use in the s class to isolate noise from stones pebbles and water splash tis helps alot. For the front u got your fire wall. Lol just joking on the s class but most conti car use tat.

I see for Nissan I also register it myself but my SE tell me and show me what to do as the points is very useful as can be used to offset some of the purchase and even for servicing.
My car is up for scrap but also consider a trade in with 2k discount. Got some further discount so I pay around 106k+ for the 6bids.

If this is a second car for your wife why dun consider a cheaper option which is the Nissan note instead?

It's been about 10years gap since i follow up with a new car and goodness me! the tech on most car had change so much. I'm Feeling abit embarrassing and i guess most of you guys already know all these gadgets....but I'm really dieing to share tis...

I've been playing around the the LCD foot assist which will guide your foot...u guys must try it. It's really fun...it'll show you when to let go and accelerate on the fule econ mode... wahahaha! its a whole new driving style. Slow in fast out lol.... Oh it does pick up speed to 90km or more if u were to ask.

Not sure if it's good on my 1.2 but im getting about almost 400km on a half tank. 98 spc. About 70% hiway 30% city.

Can someone help me or teach me how on earth to post a picture here on my phone. Lol!#!!#!*...
Just joking. I'll try to figure it out.

The fuel tank for this car is 65 litres. 800 km / 65 litres work out to 12.3 km/l, which is definitely achievable, at least for the 1.2T. On expressway, I did 19.0 km/l yesterday.

Ever bump into a qq driver at a carpark? Both same colour?
All excited about each other�s ride and sharing of experience?
Well, this was the exact feeling I had today!
All went well for the first 5min� but this excitement died pretty quickly.

It was like love at first sight. I drove past her, lowered my window and greeted her with care not wanting to frighten her. Since we both drove qq, I told her my problems and she had some disagreements. I asked her to hop in, and she did. We drove up the mscp, and we agreed that my car may have some issues.

Later on, being young at heart like all qq owners are, we went down the mscp to fetch her car. Drove up the mscp once again, to check if both cars responded the same� and it did. We giggled. She decided to park right next to my car.
One thing lead to another, we found ourselves in my car again. Soon it was time to part ways. I opened my door gently but the wind was strong. My door swung wide open and hit onto hers. This was when the excitement died�.

By the way if you think is it csb, it isn�t.

Really sorry to hear it... But really funny

I was behind my car door so i couldnt see in front of it.
He alighted, stood in front and initially said no damage too. We both sighed in relief.
However upon further inspection, he discovered a dent.

(here is the story to the photos above)

Ever bump into a qq driver at a carpark? Both same colour?
All excited about each other�s ride and sharing of experience?
Well, this was the exact feeling I had today!
All went well for the first 5min� but this excitement died pretty quickly.

It was like love at first sight. I drove past her, lowered my window and greeted her with care not wanting to frighten her. Since we both drove qq, I told her my problems and she had some disagreements. I asked her to hop in, and she did. We drove up the mscp, and we agreed that my car may have some issues.

Later on, being young at heart like all qq owners are, we went down the mscp to fetch her car. Drove up the mscp once again, to check if both cars responded the same� and it did. We giggled. She decided to park right next to my car.
One thing lead to another, we found ourselves in my car again. Soon it was time to part ways. I opened my door gently but the wind was strong. My door swung wide open and hit onto hers. This was when the excitement died�.

By the way if you think is it csb, it isn�t.

Yah I remember that as my SE say I need to immediately register the account once I book the car.

Very nice of your SE to inform you, I can't recall if my SE share the info with me. It could be that I was too excited with the collection of new car that I din pay attention..

Oh it is not at the collection of the car but at the time when you do your booking you need to register already. If after that then you have to tell them to update the points. :)
