mycarforum: Nissan QashQai 2014 Part 2 part 8

Hi, does anyone knows whether TC service centre at Lok Yang service passenger cars? Or they are just for commercial vehicles?

�

Yes passenger cars too. Servicing there is OK, quite quiet usually. For servicing, as I work nearby, I just drop it off before work, and walk to office. After that, walk back to collect car after lunch.

You are so fortunate

BO65 now you found what you want in Tucson , better go for guaranteed. Loads of ppl suddenly enabled to finance new cars with the revised and relaxed govt ruling on car loans

TCM super excited now. Wait for next COE bid to rocket up then can jack up the prices and earn bigger margin. Huat all the way to the bank! Huat for all TCM SE! Huat for LTA not letting sub 100k cars on the road in the near future! Huat ah!

hi Guys,

�

Still remember me?

�

�

today I am cancelling the QQ order. �Will send TC the cancellation from today. �So there will be a lucky Pearl White buyer out there who will get my reserved and already arrived Pear White (that is if they have not sold off my unit already - which of course they have already - read on, you will see why). �

�

TC finally offered me 1K top up for 6 bids -G ! �Don't get me wrong, I did not negotiate. �Just that when I told them I am not going to top up, no argument or quarrel, just a decision, they came back next day with the offer. �but another 6 weeks? �seriously? �well again, we decided not the go with QQ even if they give us a free COE immediately! �

�

�

last friday went to test drive with my CO. �This time requested to drive on the highway. �me and CO size dup the car more closely and objectively this time, considered the size for family etc. �The highway drive was beautiful after the initial acceleration from stop. �It was amazing at 80-100 km/h onwards. �totally unexpected. �Nice to drive, very quiet, very smooth, like cruising on water! �congrats to all the QQ owners for choosing the QQ!

�

we sized it, compared to the Xtrail, shocked hands with the SE (no quarrel, no harsh words, just matter of fact tone) and left quickly to do the same for the Tucson, with the QQ experience still fresh for comparison. �

�

I have test driven the Tucson the previous week on the highway too. �We decided on the Tucson mostly for size, and the value for money. �QQ today at 107K. �The Tucson starts at 110K. �We will suffer for the 1.2K annual road tax, but that is not too much diff from our current 1.8 Steam road tax, so would not be too big change. �Of course the QQ less than $500 road tax is beyond comparison, but we do need the bigger car for our aging parents, etc. �

�

the Tucson is like 45cm wider and 800cm longer. �so lots of space! �of course its a different category and purpose vehicle.

�

so, good bye guys. �I only remember lots of fun in this forum. �Lots of bros and friends. �This is the most active forum too, i think!!

�

�

BO65

of course I will still take a peek at the sushi from time to time, even though I would be in Kimchi land. �Or maybe its the sashimi!

LOL...

gonna miss you guys......

cheers all!

hello from Kimchi land....

�

�

�

Bro, good luck. Hope you get the new car soon. Whichever it was, we will be happy for ya.

Actually the previous structure quite good. Less loan less interest to pay. At least it does curb from over budgeting oneself. With this revised rule, people will naturally want a share in the ever increasing car population. Forcasting more congested roads during peak hours in the years to come. Think this will also effect the biz of Uber n Grab coz regular users might as well get a car since it's more economical. Banks profit will also increase with increased loan value. But bad debts will also rise in tandem due to economic downturn In the next quarters to come. Sorry bros n sis, just feel like talking rubbish after a hard days' work.

Enjoy your ride.... the COE is not going down soon. TODAY already story this.

U are really not talking rubbish.
They don't want coe to drop further, cannot afford banks to lose business and yet want to stimulate economy. It's win win for them and then year end can have bonus again, maybe mid year too.

WTF!

Could have gone for the SR model with the new ruling!

This morning, music CD cannot be loaded into HU.

Auto insert function malfunctions.

:a-no:

It�s exactly a week old today! Since then I have managed to cover around 750km (13.5km/l) on my 1^st tank based on 50% highway.

�

Little accessories that I have added so far to spice up the ride and definitely more bigger items coming soon.

�

- iroad v9

- Sharkfin antenna (reception did suffer especially at basement carpark)

- LED headlight

- LED cabin light

- Auto wind up window module

- front grill

�

The bros are helpful and always available for any help/ assistance/ kopi session with a short msg away inside the chat. Sharing is caring too, sibei poisonous.. :TT_TT:

�

But I do face minor issues, like mild rattling sound coming out from dashboard, clasping brakes after car wash, aircon not cold 24c, perhaps afternoon weather too hot, lots of brake dust.

�

Glad that I have chosen this ride n enjoying every moment with its comfort, build and road presence. Finding myself using any excuse to drive it, any chance I get!

�

Going for 1^st servicing next Monday and will highlight to TC on the happy issues! [sunny]

Hi Audi2016,

�

Sure can but indeed need a reputed spray paint shop ....

�

All bumpers are plastics to start with and same chemical paint for plastics available outside car makers.

�

However, look closer and under different lighting and you will see that the shade is different even with same paint used cos how we perceive color depends not only on the paint but how matt, colour of base materials etc. �

�

For manufacturing color is measure as LAB and difference delta E being smaller will be closer to perfect match:

Once I did spray paint on the ABS plastic of the front lower bumper of my Scirocco (same material and textured surface as the QQ's black matt plastic), it wasn't very lasting. Small knocks will open up holes & the paint work will peel off in flakes.�

�

Yeah color wise the different textures will give off slight different color accent even though they traced down to the very exact color code.

Hi Audi2016,

Noted and thanks.

�

Need to ensure primer layer first but heard also newer (more expensive) chemical paint does not have your mentioned issue anymore.

�

Must insist spray paint shop got standard one as mentioned earlier ... like oven baked or not will also differ in quality but also different $$$.

Maybe not easy, like the other bros said, need a good primer probably. Nice hor, haha. The 20 inch tyres and rims sure cost alot when replacing!!

you can get it at Giant Hypermart.

If wanna use that water gun wash the car, need apply leave one, minimum 2 days because first day for washing, second day to see doctor & rest somemore.

hi bros. just registered for an acct. but have been following the thread since i booked my mag red QQ 1.2. getting my ride this Sunday. eggcited!

have almost been poisoned a lot of times by u bros looking at ur mods and stuff. but decided to keep the outlook as stock as possible for the moment.... however, i do want to get in-car cams. any bros got lobang for iroad v9 or any better recommendations. pls share. thanks! (:

Great look!
So you go for white? Care to share the final price?

Hi Pocy,

�

I lost out on color choice to my wife, daughter and Boss! �So its now white - Pure White!

But now it has already started to grow on me!

�

the basic model � � � �is 109 999 �OMV 20K - 17 inch, 2 air bags, factory radio, no GPS

the full specs model is 119 999 �OMV 22K - 18 inch, 6 air bags, 8 inch + GPS, retractable full Sun Roof, blind sport alert, auto tailgate, and some other gizmos.

�

These prices comes with 1 year free servicing and 5 yrs warranty and 1 year road tax.

�

There is an option for 3 year servicing and 5 yrs warranty.

at additional 5K for each model.

�

In the Tucson MCF, someone claimed price just went up by 2K today due to easing of of MAS policy.

Price actually went down by 2K after last COE results. �So if true, its back to where it was .

Great choice. Hope you enjoy your upgraded kimchi ride.Just move on and forget your unpleasant experience with TC. There are always competition and other alternatives.

�

Good luck.

I may have gone for the kimchi, but I sure enjoy the friends over here!

If you have indeed got a free upgrade from your basic model contract to a full specs car with all the bells and whistle, this is fantabulous deal. You are really striking a $10K lottery. Really lucky rucky. Congratulations.� [thumbsup]

it's really some kind of water gun. if u have see the waterworld show�at universal studio, u'll know it.

it's like a syringe. dip the end in water, pull to suck the water in, push to shoot.

all manual - no hose

Like children water gun or is there a hose connected for continuous flow?

This QQ is quite tall compare to my previous Jazz.

So, I think it's easier to get the shampoo apply without my climbing 'cos I'm not tall.

LOL. A misspelling caused a misunderstanding. Nothing's fake. Haha ....

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

Overall, I would find it above average.
Sufficient power on the road esp on steep up slopes.

Expressways
- Handles itself well on expressways in terms of stability and overtaking, esp when compared to my old 1.5l car.
- On the way home from collection, achieved a 13.5km/l based on car reading but after that no more. But I do understand the reading is likely not accurate, esp the first couple of tanks. Will have to review again after 5k check.
- Steering stiffens up on expressways which I like.

City driving
- Average. Not as zippy and maneuverable due to size.
- Find the steering at lower speeds a little light. Did not notice that during test drive.
- Some body roll during cornering. More obvious now than when I test drove. Less roll than my old sedan but not sure how it compares with the Vezel, Tuson, XT, Forester and other SUVs etc.
- Fuel economy perhaps only 9km/l but got to monitor further.
- 1st 0.5 sec acceleration from standstill a bit slow but once the lumbering butt gets moving, it can actually accelerate pretty fast to 60km/hr.
- Quiet cabin but maybe not as quiet as my old sedan when it was brand new. I like a quiet cabin. Should have bought a Harrier.

Overall
- Visibility surprisingly better than I remember. Large side mirrors are good.
- Love the reverse parking camera. Very useful as the huge butt blocks your line of sight.
- Dashboard feels quite complicated to me. I was used to a simple dashboard where the most sophisticated item was the analog radio and CD player.
- HU surprisingly did not give me issues with radio reception which I read was an issue. The navigation system on the HU is pretty good.
- Not fussy about speaker quality so I won't say anything about it.
- No rattles so far.
- Wife complained the seat is too hard. I wish the seats are Alcantara rather than leather. Alcantara grips the passenger's butt better and is not scalding hot (compared to leather) after parking in the sun.
- Aircon is strong enough for me. I usually set it at 24 or 25, 1 bar fan speed only. Pretty good for me. But one thing I find irritating is the internal vs external circulation. Still trying to resolve. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
- Got to tell bros who are new to the QQ. Once the fuel warning sign comes on, please go refuel. I thought there will be another yellow blinking light later on to warn me I am onto my last 10L reserve tank so I traveled quite a distance before I topped up. There is no yellow blinking light in the QQ. I only got left with 1L of fuel in the main and reserve tank when I finally topped up.
- Moon roof is swee but I can't get to enjoy it while driving.
- Wish there are more storage areas. The side storage is a little too deep and dark.
- Tail gate is damn heavy. Wish there was a motorised version.

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

that is really kao pei. of course go back to Nissan lah.
man you are so calm not over-upset.

Super tone is slightly bigger

Due to the space constrain - need some modification

- Average. Not as zippy and maneuverable due to size.
- Find the steering at lower speeds a little light. Did not notice that during test drive.
- Some body roll during cornering. More obvious now than when I test drove. Less roll than my old sedan but not sure how it compares with the Vezel, Tuson, XT, Forester and other SUVs etc.
- Fuel economy perhaps only 9km/l but got to monitor further.
- 1st 0.5 sec acceleration from standstill a bit slow but once the lumbering butt gets moving, it can actually accelerate pretty fast to 60km/hr.
- Quiet cabin but maybe not as quiet as my old sedan when it was brand new. I like a quiet cabin. Should have bought a Harrier.

Overall
- Visibility surprisingly better than I remember. Large side mirrors are good.
- Love the reverse parking camera. Very useful as the huge butt blocks your line of sight.
- Dashboard feels quite complicated to me. I was used to a simple dashboard where the most sophisticated item was the analog radio and CD player.
- HU surprisingly did not give me issues with radio reception which I read was an issue. The navigation system on the HU is pretty good.
- Not fussy about speaker quality so I won't say anything about it.
- No rattles so far.
- Wife complained the seat is too hard. I wish the seats are Alcantara rather than leather. Alcantara grips the passenger's butt better and is not scalding hot (compared to leather) after parking in the sun.
- Aircon is strong enough for me. I usually set it at 24 or 25, 1 bar fan speed only. Pretty good for me. But one thing I find irritating is the internal vs external circulation. Still trying to resolve. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
- Got to tell bros who are new to the QQ. Once the fuel warning sign comes on, please go refuel. I thought there will be another yellow blinking light later on to warn me I am onto my last 10L reserve tank so I traveled quite a distance before I topped up. There is no yellow blinking light in the QQ. I only got left with 1L of fuel in the main and reserve tank when I finally topped up.
- Moon roof is swee but I can't get to enjoy it while driving.
- Wish there are more storage areas. The side storage is a little too deep and dark.
- Tail gate is damn heavy. Wish there was a motorised version.

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

Wat I always do for air circulation is, switch to internal circulation after turning off the aircon then switch off the engine. I also find that it seems to stop bugs from flying into the cabin. Used to the habit of turning off everything before switching off engine. Now add 1more step, switch the internal circulation on.

that is really kao pei. of course go back to Nissan lah.
man you are so calm not over-upset.

Upset for sure. See my poor QQ now kena dent and scratch super heart pain. Inside don't know where leaking also� but just trying to be factual and get through what is necessary to get over this. Most importantly, nobody injured.

And actually it's quite funny. The taxi driver wife want me to take quotation of repairs from Nissan and then bring to outside workshop and compare see which one cheaper� lol. Like go market buy veggie�

car can always be fully restored, scratches can always completely clear. But limbs and lives can never be rebuilt , thankfully nobody got hurt.

ignore the fish market counterparty, he will be a better and safer driver after this�.

Sounds like you have agreed to settle private? Else why need to do comparison. Did you tell taxi driver that you will be claiming his insurance? For sure outside workshop will be less expensive but no guarantee of original parts.

Hey Haronkr,

Good one but cannot praise ...

ROFL ....

Cheers.

Hey dash1234,

Also cannot praise you but indeed ..my case with long ntuc lorry but fortunately no car behind amd reversed like mad ! Changed to red bassy hella, yellow sharp hella and settled on estima. Tks for the video that says it all !!

Cheer.

Richard

Haha thanks Richard :P

Yup. This morning. Front bumper scratched and some dents. Bottom was leaking some water. Don't know it's radiator water or wiper wash since both on that side.

Sorry to hear that bro. Heart pain see

Yeah car wash. Don't know why he had to reverse. He say the staff ask him to reverse.

Just got off the call with him and his wife shouting at me cause I want to bring back to Nissan to repair� zzzz. Machiam like I cause it.
I bought super tones last week waiting for it to arrive this week� ;(

Hey Kumquat,

Sorry to heard was you.

Go to to TC if possible ..not a second of doubt ..else warranty also compromised.

Contsct your SE.

Cheers.

Richard

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum and has the intention to get QQ and am reading past threads and now kind of having mixed feelings. Any bro n sis can share if you are currently still experiencing technical issues like power loss, brake loss, etc? I understand that there have been upgrades n patches, so am wondering if up to date, have the problems been resolved?

Please don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to put QQ down. I'm doing sales so to have technical/safety issues are my main concerns (i know everyone will also be worried) before committing. Lack of rear legroom or pick-up, i can still manage.

So really look forward to advices if the technical issues are still persistent. Thanks

Hi Drewan02

Bro, I got my 1.2T since Jan 2015 and has been enjoying the ride for 16 months... Not a single moment of regret.

Had one incident of "delayed" start...like the parking brakes "hesitating" to let go..for maybe one-two seconds.. just once in more than 16 months.. Decided not to use the auto start-stop and never encountered anymore problems.

Overall, to me la.. a very comfy ride, nice and quiet..love the cabin look and feel..ppl complain about rear legroom lacking slightly but since I never sit behind one so ok for me la..haha

FC is between 12-13 km/lit for me and I drive maybe 70-80% highway. Power is more than enough (once we get up to 70-80kmh) on NSHW during my frequent trips to KL... pick up is expectedly less than ideal due to CVT..but otherwise drive is smooth and powerful enough for my purposes.

Some of the minor "issues" I mentioned above can be easily overcomed and I'm sure many bros here can help you if you ask..

My first post.
My sis is thinking to get the QQ 2.0 premium
SE is offering the following:
Price after 4K discount $113,998
Front and rear cams
Solar films
3M mats

Anything else to ask for in terms of freebies?

Can anyone advise did she lugi big time (in terms of pricing) as she missed previous car shows?

What's the diff between premium and adventure?

Where got lugi? A lot of ppl paid this price for their 1.2T many many months ago. The fact that TC is giving you 4K discount could be due to lesser buying interest in the 2.0 QQ ? Or they foresee a drastic drop in Cat B?

Bro, just go back to TC and get it repair and report your insurance asap.... let the insurance company do their work, that is what insurance is for.

No need to talk so much.... just tell them to report their own insurance.... they kpkb some more.... you say you claim medical from them... (heart pain and eyes pain, cause looking at your beloved car got damaged) haaaa

Hahah true true. I wanted to give him a chance and let him settle it private after getting TCM to give me a repair quote. Will see how tomorrow at the service center.

Thanks all for the support.

The manual mentioned that the drl will always be on when the engine it's running regardless of setting. However, my drl does not auto on. It was auto on when I first collected it. Not sure if it is setting issue. Anyone can advise? Tia.

The 2.0 l can off the DRL . Light has 4 positions : All off, DRL on, all headlights on and automatic.
Btw the steering has 2 selector: normal and sport. There are other functions on chassis control , leave you to find out

Any bros can share the servicing package details which you taken up for qq? Wuhua bo?

Rich, need to correct you. Sorry ya. Die die must go back TC. Not if possible. He Juz got his car only. Feel sorry for him.

Hey dash1234,

No problem at all ...issue is that if depending on where he got his insurance, his insurance coy will not allow it.

For my CO as with her 3 sunny, we only get from tied-in AIG with office at TC BT to ensure only TC repairs her cars ..but not cheapest insurance premium hor.

Cheers.

Richard

Only 2 L can off the DRL.
Yours is 2 L?

Yes, mine is the 2.0l. I didn't know it can be turned off.

The settings are giving me major headaches. Just found the esp off light turned on just now. Have to monitor.

Bros, please see my 2 cents on why I am against stop start and have disable stopstart module on in my CO's 1.2L as reproduced from my msg in thr whatsapp group chat:

Back to stop start ..it cannot be good for battery if car electronics are still running without engine and alternator running to power then ...just drawing from battery which strains it. Special and expensive battery needed then and die fast but yet aircon not running not cold in our hot and sunny Singapore weather.

Mechanically, I do not like the induced vibrations and noises from stopping and then restarting .....this can only get worse when car ages and you can be assured engine mounting to be worn out sooner. What about then the starter, sparks and all the usual stressed components which are further stressed due to repeated stopling and starting ? Sure, they say more robust built with already such consideration ..then I say great cos if it is disabled, it will mean longer lasting components then ..haha !

So what is the advantages then ?? Save some fuel, meet carbon emission and save the world ?? Save for who ?? For those who drive say 2.0L version and other higher carbon emission car ?? Why should we ?? If really to save the world, all 1.2L with stopstart then ?? Or even simply all to go hybrid or even full electric cars ? Nay ..all bureacratic BS and I say this SS thingy is not for the car performance or environment or driver ......my 2 cents and a bit.

Last but not least ..less or same but not more chances for power loss/e brakes delay or loss.

Cheers.

Richard

Hi, any good recommendation where to change stebel magnum horn? And how much is the average price with installation?

hi folks, I uds this is solely for QQ 2014 onwards, but I am currently driving a 09 QQ 2.0, recently when idle (brakes stepped in and RPM 1+, the car started to rattle, and it gets more annoying as time pass by.
Most of us would have guess time for a engine mounting change.
my question is, if yes, what will be the price range and where to get the EM and last but not least, a reputable workshop for the change?

Bro,

If inside leaking got to be careful, unless�you are sure it's�water (could be wiper tank or air con condensate), else�don't drive anymore.

Also remember to report to insurance company within 24hrs or next working day, be it going to be a insurance claim or private settlement.

Wah uncle Richard, don't scare me please. I just brought the car back to TC and their service agent complete the insurance form and procedures for me. He said change bumper so I supposed it's done by TC?

Anyway car still with me. Have to wait their the other party's insurance agree on the claim first. Last time I drove Honda, KM asked me to go outside for 3rd party claims. At least TC handle it all for me.

Better speak to your own insurance, check under such circumstance, do they have confident that fault is 100% on the other party? Usually, claim from your own insurance first, then your insurance company will claim from the other party. Thus, no need to wait whether the other party agrees or not.

Hi Kumquat,

You have to pay TC first one hor ....

TC will not repair unless you pay and hence mentioned perferred AIG-TC tied to have less hassle cos they will settle among themselves ... especially with the insurance company of the taxi which is probably NTUC and they are damn difficult one.

If your repair is more than 1 day, you can ask TC to supply you a QQ rental car from their car rental division for the days your car is with them. They too can do this as a package deal. You have to protect your interests.

Scratch remover from autoglym? If you have waxes, try waxing leave it to dry then buff off. If cannot then try autoglym. Once had amway's Polish. Also can remove minor scratches.

Sorry that plastic cannot use polish. It will leave ugly white patches. If you have done pps, go to your vendor.

I was asked by SE to turned off start-stop before I off the engine. So far no issues w car. But Richard has his point. How can it be good for engine mounting? Or spark plugs? And how come air con can be on when engine is off? No Co poisoning?

Noticed door of Q1.2T is not autolocked when on the move. Isn't that dangerous? And it does not have alarm to help locate car - can't press remote key to sound the alarm.

Hi Talkie,

No central autolock is Euro legislation but guess it relieve car mfgrs on the responsibility in case of accident if lock is jammed since you are the one now who activated central lock.� But yes, it is not safe in my opinion especially if you are at bolehland and forgets to central locked your car and any crooks can open your tailgate and any door to snatch your valuables or worst gets into the car and pull a knife at you or your family.

�

Nevertheless, you can installed Steelmate alarm with brake activated central locking or there are window modules from TaoBao that also include such brake activated central locking ... works great.

�

Another issue from this Euro legislation that irks some young family with children is that doors can be opened from inside even if central locked.� BMW car needs double pulling action to ensure that it is not accidentally pull but ours do not have that function.� Will be fixing tiong QQ's inner lock and master lock this weekend to try out mod for consideration by some whatsapp bro who asked for it but I really dun need it myself cos my children are grown up although they had also recently cause bad accident when failing to watch out for traffic before opening the doors.

It does prevent certain but not all neighbouring car door from hitting the Qashqai ... my estima is one that will be stopped by my side steps from UK Autoline:

�

http://www.ebay.co.u...ashqai&_sacat=0

�

I find the BMW like side steps the most attractive but please note that while great for young children, it may be an added effort� for shorter adults to get in as our Qashqai is not that tall like a X5 or Fortuner ... please try out somebody's before ordering and installation and to find out that your CO may not like it and have to remove ... especially since it is not cheap due primarily to the shipping cost of such a long object.

Hi JanJenn,

Meemee uses overkilling awg0 ofc type cables that is almost 2X the cost of non-ofc. Ofc in my opinion is not overkilling cos of high heat and himudity as well as the fact that our car last 10 yrs.

Depending on your requirement but at about 8m length, this would be almost sgd200 on cable alone excluding pure copper terminations and in my case soldered also, excluding workmanship and profits of local shop.

Not aware of local shop doing this but would be sgd400-500 I guess if any available.

Cheers.

Richard

Over kill :)

its in pp 5-61, 62. To leave it in on position -�only off it if stuck in mud or snow

Has anyone (esp those with 2.0L version) experience your physical ESP Off switch, located at right knee level when seated, will light up even though you have not touched any of the settings?

�

Mine will light up randomly during a drive and you can off it by pushing the button. You can only reset it by shutting down the engine completely. It will not light up when you next re-ignite your engine but might light up again perhaps halfway through your trip.

�

Have flipped through the manual but it does not indicate anything.

Hi guys

Glad to be another Qashqai owner. Enjoying every bit of my new ride

is the 1.2l Turbo causing any issues?

As many as Honda Vezel. Most common cars on the road beat Toyota liao

Cause got xtrail on the road too..so people always assume it's qq that's why we own the road..Everyday I go expressway sure can see 4-6 qq/xtrail..but I gotta say the red qq owners very bold..striking from far can see the headlight n Color

I hope this won't be too bad, there are 4 servicing centres, and most likely I'm going to the Lok Yang one, hopefully that one is ulu enough cos i heard many bros hear either went to BT or Ubi.

Cos some hearsay there are chio bu at BT and ubi.

QQ comes with electric folding side mirrors. Ask for auto folding when door is locked, unfold when engine starts without pressing the mirror folding button.

Some SEs like to confuse buyers saying it's auto fold by pressing the button. Please double confirm with ur SE.

�

Hi Mred1-2,

�

At least for mine collection in Oct-Nov 2015, TC's autofolding side mirror is simplex and only open when you starts the engine and not when you unlock but yes, locking closes the side mirror. �

�

I changed out the TC's and installed a 3rd party duplex one that opens and closes when you lock and unlock the door but �yes, I am anal to use the status of folded mirror to ensure that it is 101% locked.

�

Please request TC to ensure duplex type if getting from them cos they cannot reprogram it and it is hardware limitation .... I tried.

�

Cheers,

�

Richard

Actually my main concern is the engine...weather the 1.2l Turbo is reliable...
Cos from my understanding, for such low cc with turbo, the turbo usually cause some problems going forward.

Please advise

thanks

�

Hi Wish1719,

�

Someone already mentioned new today's newer turbo technology to alleviate your concern but further observation to alleviate your concern is that you will notice many mitsubishi colt turbo around 10 yrs old still on the road and actually preferred to keep for 2nd COE instead of the non-turbo version.

�

Cheers,

Richard

No rumours please particularly at ubi (it will make it for difficult for me as I plan to continue to use there for convenience ).. even though I could have been one of those rumor mongering�culprits on one of these sites ..

Cos some hearsay there are chio bu at BT and ubi.

Mred1-2 , thanks so much , it worked.

thanks all Bros for the response .

wah now see more QQ than Vezel on the roads......

quite a few 2.0L too

Hi Billy,�

�

I also booked on the same day.

Details same as yours but did not ask for Auto fold side mirror( didn't know that it's not auto fold)

Trade in my almost 6 yrs old Kia Forte for 41K+2K.�

�

Your trade in Forte is 1.6 or 2.0L?

wah now see more QQ than Vezel on the roads......
quite a few 2.0L too

Hehe true indeed..but not many red colours qq on the road..how's your Tucson? When are you getting it, I've been reading about your problem with your old se, Glad that you finally found an alternative..buying car must be a joyous occasion

Are we certain that warranty will be voided if service isn't done in TC?

Was told that it�depend how we explain the situation. As long we do due diligence in servicing, why should warranty be voided?

Anyone has experience?

�

It is stated in the service booklet.

Hi Mred1-2,

Guess all legal wordings to the benefits of TC but indeed risk is on the owners.

How do they prove indeed such non-TC MAY or indeed damage or subsequently damages ?

But how an individual can fight an establishment like TC but LL keep to servicing at TC to avoid all these ..including any mods that bros may embark on.

Cheers.

Finally got my qashqai 1.2L on 1 June 2016. Everything went well with SE at lend Kee. All tested and good to go for a road trip.

Once out of TC it was Bouncy drive....lol.

Just checking if u guys have this click click sound. Engine on at park mode, go near the gear stick and depress the break padel you will hear a click click....sound. Or maybe it's normal.

Time to fix rear led reflector .... Etc

Hi Defcome81,

Bouncy ?

Pls check tyre pressure to adjust back to recommended on side label of driver side's B pillar as they overinflate for sea shipment from UK.

The click click sound from the gear stick is likely the auto gear release catch which prevents u from accidentally engaging the gear without depressing the brake. Its normal...

My first post.
My sis is thinking to get the QQ 2.0 premium
SE is offering the following:
Price after 4K discount $113,998
Front and rear cams
Solar films
3M mats

Anything else to ask for in terms of freebies?

Can anyone advise did she lugi big time (in terms of pricing) as she missed previous car shows?

What's the diff between premium and adventure?

Ask for a subwoofer. i managed to get mine for free.

Anyway, just bought this voltage meter with 2 usb port, 1 is 2.1A and the other 1A from ebay and cost around $11 including shipping. I noticed once our battery level drop below 12V when I stopped at the junction, the engine automatically start back.

The issue is the front cigarette lighter port is always on, so I will pull it out slightly when I am not using and the led panel is deep in, so i need to shift my body to see the readings clearly.

But why would any of you wanna do servicing outside from tc? My old workshop would indefinitely cost way much more

The npmp Nissan prevention maintenance program cost $1488 after using duo points you only need to pay $1100 for servicing up till a total 50km mileage or 3years in total(this includes your free 1k, 5k and 10k), which is cheaper than any workshop outside

Edited by uniquely_ad, 03 June 2016 - 06:01 PM.

To those who have installed the radiator grille. Any feedback for the stick on ones vs the one internal ones?

Do you buy online and diy or go to a workshop to buy/install.

I bought black grilles from taobao for less than $10 and ask workshop to install internally for $50~60. Need to clear a few trapped leaves now n then.
The snap on ones are available from aliexpress as well but their vent holes looked too small to me.

Dear all,

Would like to know if the USB port in the centre console works for android to play music or it only works for iPod?

I also find that my AUX jack does not work. Perhaps I am missing out on some settings.

Btw, correct me if I am wrong. I think when we lock our doors using the door switch, we only prevent outside ppl from opening our car door and tailgate. However, it can still be opened from inside. To prevent child from opening from inside, use the child lock.

Hi QQ bros, currently I am considering Qashqai...however I need some clarifications from you guys regarding different versions of QQ...

�

Referring from the sgcarmart, it shows that there are 4 different version of Qashqai:�

�

- Nissan Qashqai 1.2 DIG-T (A)

- Nissan Qashqai 1.2 Turbo Adventure Series (A)

�

- Nissan Qashqai 2.0 Premium (A)

- Nissan Qashqai 2.0 Adventure Series (A)

�

As I've done some research, I've already know most of the differences. Mainly its the functions like sunroof, engine CC difference, and rim sizes etc. But what I need to clarify is regarding the roof rack as I have seen some Qashqai has roof rack while some of the qashqai doesn't has it.�

�

These are the questions:

So is it only both of the 2.0cc version of Qashqai has the roof rack while both of the 1.2cc version does not have the roof rack?�
Or is it only the Adventure Series (both 1.2 Turbo Adventure Series (A) and 2.0 Adventure Series (A)) has roof rack?
And what are the differences between the normal 1.2 DIG-T and 1.2 Turbo Adventure Series?�
Or can the roof rack be easily installed or removed?�

�

Just curious!...Hope you guys can help out...

I only use thumbdrive on the usb port for both audio n video. Well only 1 of my old thumbdrive is not compatible.

What do you select on your HU?
Can it play vid?

Yes, you will get for your purchase price but not for COE and GST.

Tks but I do not see points in my duo account. Do I need to do anything to have it reflected?

I booked QQ 1.2L on Sunday with trade in (Lancer GLX at $16k + $2k) + 6 bids guaranteed COE. Following are the freebies:
- Auto fold side mirrors
- Front and rear camera
- Solar Tint
- Leather seat
- 3M floor mats
- standard package comes with 6 months road tax, 3 + 2 years warranty

Was advised by SE (really experience one) to save the top-up of$1k to guarantee 1 bid COE. He seems confident to get COE in next week's bid. Finger crossed.

I was rather concern of the Renault engine plus followings
1) Unreliable of Renault Engine
2) Spare parts since this is a UK made
3) OEM touch screen radio which has reports of malfunction
4) Gearbox problem especially due to the 1.2L and turbo incompatibility (not sure if right word to use)

Any advice for QQ owner?

Renault same engine as qq

What do you select on your HU?
Can it play vid?

Select usb.
Yes, my video files are in mp4. Not sure about other formats.

1.2T from TC confirm don't have roof rack. If have either other country different specs or ownself install.

Hi Gal89,

�

Roof rail is not critical since can add aftermarket on and in addition to what �you had added the obvious missed ones will be LED headlight compared to Halogen in 1.2L and not obvious will be individual Macpherson rear suspension compared to cheaper torsion beam rear suspension of the 1.2L .... these are big ticket item and �you cannot even have aftermarket addon. �

�

Other minors ones are factory fitted leather seat, electric auto anti-glare rear mirror etc. but this had been cover in part 1 thread if any bros are interested to know.

Cheers,

Richard

Haven't tried the usb port but you are right about the door lock. Doors can be opened from inside as a safety precaution.

Hi Haronkr,

Not safety precaution imho but car mfgr pushing the responsibility to car owner in case accident and indeed jam and lives are lost.

In fact, it is more dangerous for family with young kids that opens door without realization of on-coming traffic.

However, please note that BMW does not open door when pull once in case it is unintentional and opens only if you pull twice in succession.

Your Bid ID is your NRIC.

You will not see any bid placed with your NRIC until TC bid for you - normally on Wednesday after 1 or 130pm.

But the COE value is now higher.

Previously was only $38k.

Last bid result for CAT A = current quota premium = 47 020.

�

TC has raised the price twice since the last result due to more people coming into the showrooms as a result of the easing of the MAS policy. �Basically its profiteering because there is demand. �Komoco has raised Hyundai prices by 2K 1 or 2 days after new ruling.

if they give you my not good one, then i don't know liao. [laugh] � anyway, there was an audible ssssssss sound and once the HU was changed, no more problem.

On roads, I have no reception issues. I don't park in MSCP but the few times I was in one, I don't recall reception issues. I do have some issues when I drive in underground car parks but the reception was not worse than my previous car. Anyway, I am only in car parks to park the car and don't dwell long inside so it's never an issue with me.

Hi Richard

Guess they would expect passengers and driver to be rational. Hence, onus is on them.

Volvo also has a safety feature. Open and hold then it can open. If im not wrong.

hi Haronkr,

�

Indeed but kids will be kids.

May also be price point but still think that practices like BMW and your mentioned Volvo is one up on their safety consideration.

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.

Does your maid wash the car and accidentally move the switch? It is quite impossible for the child lock to move to the unlocked position as it will have to go against gravity

I also encounter the child lock disengaging. I am trying to find out what caused it to disengage. If you get an answer from TC, please update. Thanks�

Hi Richard

Added safety features do indeed come with a higher premium hehe.

I also encounter it yesterday and I thought my child disengage it. �Locking it was the first thing I did when I took delivery of my car. �

�

Finally I can declare I'm innocent. I�had been nagged by my wife some time back�for not engaging the child lock even though I remembered I did it.

�

Tried playing with the child lock a while ago and realized that pushing lever slightly�can snap it back into unlock position. I guess opening and closing�the door multiple times plus on road vibrations/bumps may have cause the lever to snap back into unlock position. A simple tape may solve this issue.

This is too dangerous... need to double check mine too.

Dear all,

Would like to know if the USB port in the centre console works for android to play music or it only works for iPod?

I also find that my AUX jack does not work. Perhaps I am missing out on some settings.

Btw, correct me if I am wrong. I think when we lock our doors using the door switch, we only prevent outside ppl from opening our car door and tailgate. However, it can still be opened from inside. To prevent child from opening from inside, use the child lock.

�

My AUX don't work either....�

Does your maid wash the car and accidentally move the switch? It is quite impossible for the child lock to move to the unlocked position as it will have to go against gravity

�

Nope, I don't have a maid to wash my car and to turn on the child lock on the door was the first thing I did when I put my child's car seat in.

�

It's definitely disengaged by itself coz I'm the only one who get my son in and out of the car.

�

Anyway, I will use a Scotch tape like Mred1-2 suggested to make sure the child lock always stays in the engage position.�

Securing child lock is definitely a safety measure. Maybe I am overly worried that in the event of other emergency (touch wood) and need to open from inside, then how to deal with it? Thinking can this issue be fixed by TC?

This is too dangerous... need to double check mine too.

My AUX don't work either....

g

So have you reported this issue to TC yet?

My last software update during 10K didnt worked....

�

Parked my car, ISS cuts in�and stop the engine just before�I press the engine stop button. Ok, I pressed the stop engine button to turn everything off after ISS cuts in .

�

After doing�a quick�errand, came back, start�engine and realized the brake didn't release when my foot is taken off the foot brake. It will takes 2 to 3 secs with some mechanical noises heard before the brakes are being release. This happens in every stops until ISS activates again and everything is reset back.

�

So anyone here has TC email? Maybe LTA email as well.... pls PM to me.

I encountered this issue as well and shall complain to TC during my 10k servicing. Hope that all can complain to them too. It is dangerous for those who just bought this car and have the thinking that they have applied the child lock and the child lock unlocks by itself during the journey. A child might be playing with the door and it might cause an accident with TC insisting that the driver has never applied the child lock... we shall then be lppl so it is good to lodge a complain now

This is a serious safety concern. Do a mass complaint to TC. Someone can take the lead by email with the rest in the loop to TC boss. Email should be the convenient channel as not everyone will have the convenience to gather at TC at the same time.

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

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

As expected, hence we need mass complaints . Maybe all can write in together. If there is an accident, they would deny absolutely and blame on the driver not engaging child lock properly...

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

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

Hi Mark,

�

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

�

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Surprised you did not get COE then. My logic is if you do a trade-in, there is no reason or little advantage for them to max out the 6 bids.
However if you do not do trade-in, they will go in low for all bids and confirm only when it is the right time. Best of all TC has on-hand COEs to spare for you.

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

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

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

just my thoughts.

New QQ price :

�

1.2T 119.3k

2.0 130.3k

�

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

�

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

you could be right.

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

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

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

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

anyway. just did some quick clicking.

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

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

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

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

BMW of such still has value in the market.

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

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

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

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

Can i check anyone change the default DVR camera that Tan Chong gave. i realise the quality is crap esp in low light and night conditions.

Would u all be open to list down the list of poison u have done so far? Hehe...

new 2.0 owner as well.

�

1) should be a quick one.

2) No squeaks from brakes which are very jiak.

�

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

Hi Kxbc,

�

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

�

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

Hello Mr low life :)

Thanks for show concern :)?

Hi CLW37

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

�

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

�

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

�

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

�

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

Cheers

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Do you guys pump 95 or 98 mainly?

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

Thank u very much! Cheers!

Your paper value up at least $5K now

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

�

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

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

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

$600+ with new cabling sounds good price.

$600+ with new cabling sounds good price.

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

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

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

Exactly.

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

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

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

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

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

Hi Richard

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

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

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

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

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

�

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

�

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

�

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

�

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

�

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

�

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

�

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

�

Work in progress...

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

Love the car so far but 2 small issues.

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

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

Thanks for your advice in advance

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

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

Hi Richard

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

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

�

MR 20DD or MR16DDT engine:�

�

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

�

[For those QQ 2.0L owners take note]

�

HRA2DDT engine:

�

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

�

[For QQ 1.2T owners take note]

�

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

�

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

�

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

Hi,

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

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

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

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

�

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

�

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

�

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

�

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

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

�

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

�

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

�

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

�

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

�

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

�

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

�

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

as mentioned already by another bro

�

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

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

�

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

�

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

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

Love the car so far but 2 small issues.

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

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

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

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

Thanks for your advice in advance

�

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

�

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

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

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

�

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

�

Lol.. only u lah.

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

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

�

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

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

Hi Bro Lee9389ck,�

�

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

�

Hi CLW37

�

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

�

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

�

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

�

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

�

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

�

Cheers

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

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

Also can check the small little wires underneath passenger seat.

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

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

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

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

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

Hi CLW37

�

Bro, I did mine back in Sep 2015 so prices may have changed since.� I did both front and back.� Front alone is $480 and rear cam is another $160, if I recall correctly.� I then upgraded the card to 32Gb from it's original 16Gb for another $40.

�

I did it at ZMC...pls see attached pic

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

Edited by cashcow, 13 June 2016 - 11:50 AM.

Thanks Bro. One quick last question. Does it have optional battery pack for the parking mode, like how blackvue used to have? Or did you connect directly to our battery.�

Bro

�

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

�

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

�

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

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

�

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

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

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

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

So far still ok. No deep cuts or anything.

Hi Audi2016

�

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

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

�

Overall, I would find it above average.

Sufficient power on the road esp on steep up slopes.

�

Expressways

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

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

- Steering stiffens up on expressways which I like.

�

City driving

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

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

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

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

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

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

�

Overall

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

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

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

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

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

- No rattles so far.

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

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

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

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

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

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

�

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

Just finished my 1st full tank.

�

55L traveled 590km. ~10.7km/L

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

Esso 95.

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

Thanks for your advice in advance

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hi Kstoh,

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

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

Hi KsToh,

�

Sure .. some bros here had done it.

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

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

�

Hi Pocy,

�

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

�

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

�

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

�

Cheers.

Hi Kxbc,

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

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

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

Hi DonaldKuok,

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

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

Gotcha ... perhaps cost my ride are tweaked and hence I do need and prefers highest octane possible for the smoothest ride which I do experience with octane98 as compared to octane95. �Also dun really care for a little more expensive octane 98 petrol since more challenging consideration to care.

�

No disagreement with your statement after reading more and learnt something ... thanks !

�

Cheers.

Work in progress

Next shall add fiber glass

�

Hey Meemee,

�

Nice !!

�

Fiberglass application will also be a challenging effort .... gloves and masks please !! �Next will be getting the leather to be switched to cover up all these.

�

BTW, angle accurately taken liao bo ... never call me ??

�

Cheers.

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

�

Hi Kumquat,

�

Strange and perhap do recheck again.

�

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

�

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

�

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

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

�

Good choice.

�

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

�

Hi Cashcow,

�

Whatever the case .. please avoid yokohama db models unless you drive prudently.

�

It is horribly slippery on wet road and not sure why it was even allowed or certified.

Indeed they are quiet tyres initially but does not last on this quietness after 20k km.

Hi Richard

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

�

Cheers!

Hi Hamchu,

Thanks for the good info.

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

�

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

With appreciation and cheers !!

Just finished my 1st full tank.

55L traveled 590km. ~10.7km/L
Roughly 80% highway 20% urban (but highway is also peak hour traffic with some start/stop averaging 80km/hr).
Esso 95.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Maybe my unit was not properly insulated.

Hey Hoamchu,

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

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

Tks and Cheers !!

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

It gets progressively more noisy as it wears down. Dry grip was ok. Wet grip...there's better choices out there.

Oh no mine is the DB model!

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

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

�

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

Oh no mine is the DB model!

Not to worry too much when new.

�

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

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

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

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

�

I am using Esso 95. No issues..

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

any buddies upgraded or changed their QQ stock rims?

Used to pump Shell 95/98 umpteen years ago.

�

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

�

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

�

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It is more expensive and no mentioned of qashqai 2016 which Hoamchu's links did.

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

Hi Hoamchu,

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

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

Nice rims which Stamford tires branch did you go?

There are also loads of reputable tyres and rims shops that you can patronise.

H Tyres, Chen Jin, L S Tyre, South East Tyres, etc. And i think most are having some form of sale at the moment. Also provide interest free payment plans ;)

Hi Alan,

Thanks but I would not recommend to try these ...

It is more expensive and no mentioned of qashqai 2016 which Hoamchu's links did.

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

Cheers.

Richard

Thanks Richard.

Anyway, for those who got their QQ from 2016 YOM, maybe this option is more relevant?

Hi Kiteman,

Thanks ...there is selection when ordering and I chose the 2014 onward xtrail version but it is same as 2015 onward xtrail as the received box showed it is for both.

Thanks all for the advices. I brought it back to TC early this morning to make a report and do a claim. Still driving the car while waiting for them to come back to me over the claim progress. Estimated repair cost is about 2k

Be safe and drive carefully on the roads.

Bloody more than 2 weeks since the accident, still no news on when I am going to get my car repaired. Really waste time waste energy to keep waiting and checking on the claim status. [sleeping]

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

Ops.. try the aux icon

Pressing the Aux icon merely gives a blank screen. There is an Aux input port in my centre armrest console and nothing is plugged into it.

Usually the surveyor has to assess your car within 3 working days.

I never private settle. After kanna hit, I just exchanged details and drove straight to the workshop. WS accessed damage, got me a replacement car and told me they will settle everything. Got the car back within 5 working days. I have no idea what went on behind the scene though. My NCD never affected.

My previous ride like Kxbc experience where C&C/AIG settled everything and got replacement ride too. Did you ask if claim your own 1st party? Usually your insurer will claim the other party if you have a strong case.

Looks like u need to bring ur HU in to TC since under warranty.
For spare tyre, go to showroom n compare 1.2 n 2.0 boot. 2L have spare tyre, at least that was what I last saw end last year.

Hi Kumquat?

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

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

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

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

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

taxi uncle probably had his repaired. What happened to Idac? Now no need to send to idac for assessment? Like what Eric says, make some noise with AIG, so that AIG can chase the other insurance party. There is a vid as evidence, what's there to deny that taxi reversed into you. Are they trying to use delay tactic till you buay tahan n pay on your own?

Defcom81 and funkyhan,

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

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

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

Cheers.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What do you guys think of the stock sound system? Is it lousy? Average? Good? My car has not come but started to research on poisons already haha

�

Hi Mark,

�

Not bad at all for the casual car owner and I am anal of my audio set up and sound quality.

Te depth of your pocket is the limit if you wish more .... law of diminishing return is steep though ... very steep.

Is there a switch to permanently disable Auto Start/Stop? I don't mind it when it goes off now and then. But the frequency is so infuriating. Two nights ago while I was waiting at the roadside, it was starting on and off every minute. 20 seconds engine off .. 30 seconds engine on ... 20 seconds off again ... 30 seconds on again ......,... Arrggghhh

There is a switch below the steering wheel on the right but this seems to be per trip only.

�

Hi KSToh,

�

Some 10 bros in the whatsapp group has automated disable stop/start module installed.

�

Please read my negative thoughts on this stop/start function in part 1 and such module for VW and Audio is easily available on-line at Euro85 but no commercial ones for Qashqai seen so far.

�

Performance Motors used to disable for their BMW owners but stopped doing so.

�

Cheers.

�

Richard

Don't think can permanently disable that because that is one of the consideration for LTA's CEV rebate.

�

Hi Bezz,

�

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

�

Heard rumour that future J11 Qashqai will have no more manual off even :(�

�

Cheers.

Today I started operation 'find the rattle' and found 1 dangling wire and 1 dangling connector. I have taped the two but still find the dangling connector weird. Any bros or sis can help to identify what the connector is for?

�

Hi Hd2004,

�

Dun worry about these extra connectors .... they are many else you will pull hairs cos there are more than what you had shown.

�

Many standard wiring looms for various car models and options ... some are simply not used but �yes, wrap with cushion/felt to avoid rattling noises.

�

Cheers.

Does it make a big difference? Less roll?

�

Hi Haronkr,

�

Roll yes a bit but primarily to tighten up the steering to remove the vagueness.

Please show your new suspension ....
Wait till neck long long ...

�

Hi Meemee,

�

Test driven Uncle BB's eibach progressive spring suspension mod about 2 months ago at about Sgd750 including installation ... you can find them on ebay at <Euro200 but they dun ship direct and shipping will be expensive.

�

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

�

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

�

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

I mentioned earlier that sometimes the reverse camera guidelines do not come on. It happened again to me this afternoon. Maybe this happens under certain conditions? I was trying to reverse my car out of the lot. Maybe my car was too close to the car behind?�

I was wondering why my windscreen wipers were moving by themselves when it started to rain. When this happened a few days back, I thought maybe I forgot I had turned them on. Today it happened again and I was sure I had not done anything.

�

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

�

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

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

Does anyone install mud flaps for their QQ?

�

Saw this but don't seems to have any fixing holes on the QQ. �Does that means I have to drill the holes or just tighten the screws with force and it will be done.

�

I remember my first car (COE car) the area near mud flaps rusting quite badly. I guess the screws resulted in starting point for the rust to set in due to unprotected metal. Not sure if material are different since then, but due to this�experience I have�concern on any body kits which require to be screwed onto the metal body.

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

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

Anyone knows what is the actual fuel consumption for the qq 2.0l?

Though didn't try before, may consider using s/s screw and cover over with sealant for better results.

Actual FC of QQ 2L varies with individual driving style and habit.
The route you take daily determine the FC of your vehicle too.
Mine is mostly highway and my FC per tank is about 13.5L.
My first tank was ard 10. Hope that help.

Looks like u need to bring ur HU in to TC since under warranty.

�

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

And there is no second page for the HU. Just the main page.

Been driving the qashqai 2.0 for about 2 weeks plus now. My fc is about 14km/l.�

Just a short review of the car, a great car that looks nice and also a very good and stable drive which is just as important to me. No regrets for this purchase. My family loves it as well, and the boot space is pretty good.�

�

Would recommend my salesperson if anyone needs a contact, as she goes out of the way to accommodate my timing and requests. Responsive to calls and messages too.�

If need any details on the car can check with me, will help if able too! Still a new driver to this car so still learning as well.. [;)]

Also how much things you carry ard like child seats, barang barang and no. of passengers (big, small, heavy, light etc.)

Exactly what I am asking, how effective in blocking the sun.

But I think I got the answer, quite effective in blocking your yan dao face� [:p]

So many posts on FC...

My driving pattern didn't change much since I got my QQ 1.2T and I noticed my petrol cost per month is still around the same as my old car, hence I have no complains.

I used to be abscessed with FC. Now I don't even look at it after establishing the fuel cost is around the same each month. There are many more things to think about in life� [nod]

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

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

Hey Eric,

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

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

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

Cheerz.

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

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

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

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

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

I am still servicing in tan chong and still on npmp. I just asked an outside workshop cos was thinking of trying out something else.

TC should import this 1.6 Digi T fitted on QQ as soon as possible.

�

The engine looks cool, man !!!

thanks for the tips. may i ask for the shop name and location please. thank you!

Hi Keenkeeee,

�

Many of the whatsapp QQ bros uses blacknano .... no payment upfront to be committed and one of the most economical and proven one .... 3rd layer ceramic coating at SGD388 when we had the MO and year maintenance of 1 layer at SGD138.

�

Cheers.

�

hi Lhk657, may i ask for the shop name and the contact person (if possible). thank you!!

�

Would like to join in the coming meetup. Can msg me the location and time? Thanks.

With regards to coating, the cheapest in town is behind Balestier shopping complex. 3 layer coating of 9H hardness. 3 years warranty all at a promo price of $288.

�

Can buy online from Giant. Even if you buy 8L (2 bottles) it's cheaper than TC.

�

If you buy 2 bottles but only require 4.6l, then they will return you the remaining EO? Keep for next servicing?

After 10k, which package shld we sign?

If we sign NPMP for $1,488, it means each servicing is $372 (1,488 / 4). Is it considered expensive?

Haha, I was thinking of the oil cooler and typed intercooler instead.
By the way, the oil cooler is for engine or cvt oil?

Hi Mred1-2,

For transmission cvt oil cos stock does not have one.

Cheers.

It is just the engine cover. If u take the cover away it looks like a mess.

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

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

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

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

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

QQ 1.2T compression ratio 10:1�

http://www.carfolio....car/?car=391303

�

Sylphy 1.6T compression ratio 9.5:1

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

�

Possible effect of higher compression

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

"Why would i go for lower compression:

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

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

�

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

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

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

TQ for your valued inputs.

�

If not QQ, perhaps another SUV or x-over type vehicle, aside the saloon Sylphy 1.6 Digi T model where there are not so many on the road.�

�

Would give existing premium conti cars some serious competition.

I have three questions.

�

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

�

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

�

3. Is our system TMC enabled?

Hi Kstoh,

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

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

Hi Bezz,

�

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

�

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

�

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

�

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

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

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

�

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

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

�

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

�

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

Hi Mred-1-2,

�

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

�

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

Hi BCSChan,

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

�

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

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

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

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

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

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

hi Mred-1-2,

Oh ... torque is different from bhp power.

�

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

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

�

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

Anyone knows what is the weight of the stock 17inch and 19inch rims?

Hi all got my qq 1.2 a week ago. Anyone encounter rattling at passenger somewhere at glovebox or around that area? Also how much & where to install ethrottle...

Anyone knows what is the weight of the stock 17inch and 19inch rims?

Hi funkyhan

17' stock rim approx. 10.3kg... 19' dunno...haha

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

Hi Kxbc

Heard from BBC news that when asked, Nissan refused to rule out moving plan out of Sunderland...haha... so maybe next time QQ is not UK made...

Hi MarkZhuo,

2 keys needing 2 pouches ..... and a lot of poisons !!

No-brainer category:

- ethrottle ... for 1.2L lacking the initial pick up
- strut bar ... minimise vagueness in steering

Cheers.

Richard

Hi Richard,

Wat is strut bar and how i will benefit from it? Paiseh i sotong.

Got my coe on the last round :)
SE told maybe can collect car mid July.
How many car keys will they give me ar? Trying to buy car key protector but dun noe how many to get.

My SE gave 2 leather key holders, Nissan type quite nice. Small thing like that get from your SE.

Hi guys, just checking if you guys did paint protection on your qashqai and which would you recommend? Thanks!!

Did mine at Optic Shine, Platinum Package, a few days ago.

Saw from their Facebook a few other QQ also did PPS there.

Svc is pretty good, hopefully can maintain the gloss.

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

�

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

�

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

Yes.. Of coz without tyres haha

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

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

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

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

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

Couldn't sleep and just talking rubbish

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

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

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

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

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

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

Got queue number 2002 and was told those with appointments will be attended to first. Those with appointment were served almost immediately when they come. I had to wait one hour before my number was called. There is shuttle bus service provided to Eunos MRT but since I was told it will take only about 2 hours, I decided to wait.

Hi Mred1-2,

�

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

�

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

�

Cheers.

�

Richard

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

�

�

Pocy,

�

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

Cheers.

Me same same- 240 for all the 4 tyres. but does it make a difference between 240 and 250?
250 will be less noisy and better FC but safety is compromise?
btw, there was a Vezel family day recently.
Anyone in the watsapp grp planning a QQ day.
Good idea?

Hi Dash1234,

I value safety a quite bit more than FC and noise and err toward recommended 230Kpa for the front and hence 240Kpa rather than 250Kpa ..... make sense ? �Mathematically or otherwise ??

My 1,000 km servicing light came on. Which service centre (Bukit Timah or Ubi) is better or faster? How long does it take and do I need to book? I guess I do not need to pay anything. If need to pay, can use DUO rewards?

Need three days advance booking for BT. I book my 1k serving last Friday for Wednesday tomorrow appiontment 9am slot at (BT). Will be using Duo points to offset the Pioneer subwoofer quoted at $299.

Hi Mred1-2,

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

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

Cheers.

Richard

Pocy,

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

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

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

�

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

Hi Kohanson,

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

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

Hi Markzhou,

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

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

Cheers.

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

Just to share with everyone..

�

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

�

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

I have a dual USB port adapter plug constantly plugged into the cigarette lighter socket. There is a small blue power indicator light that is constantly on, even when the engine is off.

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

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

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