    Hi guys, I'm new here. Been driving my Qashqai 1.2 for a few weeks. So far so good.

    Saw some recent posts on Michelin Primacy 3 tyres in this thread. I'll like to share that my Qashqai came with Michelin Primacy 3 instead of Conti ones that some fellow forumers received. Not sure of this is going to be the norm moving forward.

    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?


    Also miss the first round of bid today. 7 more to go...

    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 ?

    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!

    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. �

    2.0 has sufficient power to me..may be I am a light footer. �

    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.

    I think its worth the $4k Savings.

    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.

    Coe drop is obvious but can't be that drastic that soon.

    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).�

    Yes those are the one who goes for non guarantee bid and never top up after requested.�

    Now there are so call 3 category,

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

    2) 6 bids non-guaranteed (aka unofficial new guaranteed bid which you normally get the COE after 1 or 2 bids)

    3) 2 bids guaranteed (no one come to these as the 6 bids one normally get it)

    3) 2 bids guaranteed (no one come to these as the 6 bids one normally get it)

    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.

    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?

    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.�

    Thanks thanks

    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

    Bro Meemee yup i understand that part. I mean i qont diy and prob go shop to do.

    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?

    I got my qq in july, then SE told me no point pay extra for guaranteedinner coe so I went for 6 bids NG, got my coe on 2nd round of bidding. Book in end May, got it in early July.

    In May is different, as that time there is no such thing as 8 bids no guarantee. They change the non guarantee bid after AUG first bid. AUG first bid and before, you can go with the 6bids non guarantee and you will get the COE likely on first if not second bid. And now it apply the same for the 6 bids non guarantee. But now they have an extra category called 8 bids non guarantee which is about 2k lower than 6 bids non guarantee. Hence for the 8 bid non guarantee, it will be very difficult to get the COE unless there is a drastic drop in the COE price.�

    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.

    Want to check if rust is normal on the brake rotors? My Qashqai 1.2L is about 10 months old, with stock rims, brake calipers, brake rotors and brake pads.

    I noticed the rust on the brake rotors after a car wash at Shell, with Sonax rim cleaning also.

    This is the front rim, with rust visible at the edges of the rotor.

    This is the rear rim, with less rust but still visible.

    Is this rust normal? Braking function feels fine, just not sure if anything is wrong.

    Wow! i hv to have 8 more post before getting anymore restriction on my post lol!

    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!

    Sorry but I had a NG 8 bid for my fxt and I got it on 2nd bid when Coe went up.... Booked before the cat b Coe goes up 10k... So I m confused with TC way of bidding.
  • 09 September 2016 - 09:45 PM
    JuzFXT

    In May is different, as that time there is no such thing as 8 bids no guarantee. They change the non guarantee bid after AUG first bid. AUG first bid and before, you can go with the 6bids non guarantee and you will get the COE likely on first if not second bid. And now it apply the same for the 6 bids non guarantee. But now they have an extra category called 8 bids non guarantee which is about 2k lower than 6 bids non guarantee. Hence for the 8 bid non guarantee, it will be very difficult to get the COE unless there is a drastic drop in the COE price.

    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. Tha is why I ask those bro what is the amount that TC bid for them.

    Ic... Then my se didn't tell me this... Initially it was a 6 bid NG then he change it to 8 NG. I tot there is no different as I m not in a hurry to get my wife's car. Sigh...Anyway, if didn't get after 8 bid then will look for other model... I think by then should have some new model coming.

    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?

    How this approval work and can your approve me? New to posting in this forum.

    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.

    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.

    Which car did you use for 400km consuming only half tank? Can't wait for you to show the device. Can post pic using desktop.

    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. I use normal mode, not Eco. No special technique. Not aware of the LCD foot assist that Li-Joe using. For me, just normal driving.

    Any recommendations for ceramic coating? For those who did, how is it after X months? Still beading and clean?

    Previously did a cheap one and not satisfactory...

    Now deciding to re-do with a better budget of $400+ price range..

    Just dropping in to say hi, been looking at this car.

    May i know, what is the typical freebies and if it is worth it or just straight ask for more cash discount?

    Also if possible, can share the SE that you are dealing with and how is it?

    Thanks!

    Sorry Think my ang moh not so good lol...

    The lcd screen on your speedometer. When you're on the eco mode. In your settings there's 2 modes to choose from. you will be able to change it and see a picture of your foot how much fule you save when u depress...kekekeke! There's a blue line indication. But i prefer useing the orignal default screen. Think the 2l has it too.

    Hope tis helps...

    Wow! You hit 19 on expressway tats good leh... no eco mode somemore.... Faint.... I must try it one of tis days. My eco was on since day 1.

    Thanks for the tips...

    (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.

    We went down to check immediately
    We both looked at the top part of his door panel. Maybe becos i was holding my door frame and i thought that was the point of impact.
    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.
    That was when i regretted and knew i should have exercised caution....
    You know? Moments like these...
    (anyway..... just look at how far apart we are parked! still can kena... :a-panic: blardee wind [smash] )

    Feel sorry for you. I bet it wasn't in your wildest dream that it would turn out like that. Hope can settle it amicably. Go for dent removal, should be able to restore it back to original condition.
    Let us know, hope it turn out well.

    I have got one exactly along the line.� [bigcry]

    How do they remove dent? knock from inside? or patch from outside? �Then re-spray?

    Errr...is it better to go back TC? �Color and finishes back to original state?

    They just insert a tool to massage the dented area to its original state.

    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. :)
