mycarforum: Nissan Qashqai 2014 part 61

Been to service centre at Bukit Timah, Leng Kee and Toa Payoh.. Sad to say, all give me "cin cai cin cai" un-pro ???? feel.

Still under the free servicing period, hence will still go back TC service centre.

After that, definitely won't go back TC.

Wah. You not taking up their 2 yearly/ 40k Nissan Preventive Maintenance Program. Covers materials and labour . Reasonable cost.
Car 5 year warranty conditional on having servicing done at their workshops during the period in case something unforeseen goes kaput. Some risk if so.
Don't discount the people because of appearance , behaviors . Technically very skilled people don't come across as customer savvy at all. Of course there will be a range of them there possessing different skill level . As is anywhere. Some young some old. Some less experienced. Some good some not so good.
AD workshops have advantage of being in the loop with the manufacturer on chronic, hard to solve, complicated problems and possibly with training and training materials from the manufacturer as well. At least the parts are genuine. They have the Advantage of doing only Nissan cars therefore getting better understanding rather than handling all types of cars: potentially a jack of all trades , master of none with latter

How's that brake pad? Better? Less dust? Will that void any car warranty?

Yes ...certainly less dust ...why void warranty ? More progressive and less abrupt braking ...more Jap than Conti ...like my Estima compared to my Merc E class

Warrenty is over rated

SLK I dunno cos I haven't have the honor of driving it. For the roc, isn't it twincharged(super/turbo combo). I've driven the roc and did not notice any significant lag from force induction. If you are referring to the initial lag from stop, I think that more of how the throttle is mapped rather than the turbo itself. I read that it's mapped like that to protect the DSG from sudden torque surge. Even the GTI drives like that. Maybe your throttle controller might have remaped it to eliminate that initial lag so you get better response. What brand of throttle controller did you use?

Anyway my comments on managing expectations is not directed to you lah, its a general statement. Cos there are some who thinks QQ got turbo means powerful or QQ only 1.2 no power...without even actually testing the car.

Started reading thus thread fr 250 onwards after weekend test drive of 1.2qq.

I agree w u on throttling issue. Tested vw touran twin charged. Accel had to be depressed further to feel surge or even wheel spin; pedal calib wasn't linear like jap Car.

The 1.2qq definitely good pickup for city drive. i depressed pedal further in both d mode n manual mode, response ok like normal auto. The cvt better than mitsubishi invecs iii cvt. test driven mit asx. Mit one only hear loud drone n rubber band effect, think should consider improving mit cvt.

Overall quite pleased w smaller cc qq, if only interior trims n ceiling light switch quality can b improved.

Ya, I got take up the program, as such will still going to TC.. Only after tat will think to change..

Those services I find "cincai" is their attitude,�can say "ya ya ya" to you then end up nvr do.. forgot to do or simply just don bother

once I went service telling them the tyre is over inflated and they say ya, ya, will adjust to correct pressure, end up car taken back, few days, went check pressure, still as high as before..

once I call, make appointment for servicing including defect solar film with bubble, then they arrange everything le, on the day for servicing, told me solar people not able to do on tat day

once after service, they forgot to set the Maintenance setting, then few days later the message show on screen without anything else.. first time handling this car, make me so nervous, call Sales agent, he told me MUST go down service centre to reset. Call to book appointment, telling the purpose, the lady say have to go down and ask the technician to reset.. on the day, the technician teach me (stupid me.. hahaha) actually can play with the button and reset myself..

don mention on the dropping IU, which make me back to TC 4 times,�with everytime promises won't drop again.. 2 times at Bukit Timah de lagi tokong.. the second time went, the staff told me the technician use the "WRONG" sticker.. although all are those small small matter, but all these make me worry everytime after service.. don know this time wat r they going to forget again...

Wanted to welcome you but you already a super Lao Jiao because you got many points (how can you get that many anyway). Happy reading

Eric, you are correct about distribution but all cars depends about 70-80% on the front brakes and hence you end up changing fronts pads 3x more often.
Conti cars have bite and abrupt brakes e.g. Merc, BMW etc. and you will also have the same dust issue.
Like me and some bros, we changed to NiBk front brake pad at sgd95 at Vision Garage to the dust and revert back to more Japanese like peogressive braking. Other bros simply spray the stock rim black or bronze.
Hope this help.
Richard
More like over inflated to cater for shipment and storage time.
Ok for standard servicing but yes, they could not diagnose choked water tubing of screen wiper after 4 weeks from car collection which ubi did so.
Bukit Timah is their best equipped center and training center

�

The over inflate tyres is not just for new car collection, I noticed they do that after servicing as well.

�

Brake dust have to live with it.

In my opinion, something has to wear off due to the frictions applied and I rather it to be�the brake pads then the brake disc.

Good brake pads should be soft and quiet on the brake disc, don't generate too much heat with good frictions. Of cos less dust is a bonus provided the above is not compromised. �

The saying the devil you know is better than the devil you don't ..
At least you can bang table, vent your relief valve at them and they will still entertain you respectfully as a customer ( mistakes aside). Try doing it at outside workshop
and when it is blatantly their mistake or cover up.
Then it will be from the frying pan into the fire

I have to agree with you. The QQ 1.2T has more bite and abrupt braking compared to my previous made in Japan Nissan Sunny. I noticed that the black brake dust was very thick when the car was brand new. After ~5 months of driving the black dust is still there but not as thick.

Does the NPMP do tyre rotation+balancing every 10k? (for all 4 tyres)

From lowest of 12 to highest of 17 kml.

Qq should b around 12-14 kml n xv around 11-13 kml.

Checkout is free, give urself n wife a chance. Interior wilk not disappoint but pickup not as fantastic. I wonder if using nissan xtronic cvt will suit xv better..

on the subject of fuel consumption, it depends. I have tried driving from west to Changi Airport and back; approx 90km in total ( ECO mode off, Start/Stop Off), 10% city drive the rest AYE/MCE/ECP, the onboard computer show 21.4km/ litre. This is the record in my car setting.

On most days, when I drive to work, usually city driving (lots of traffic lights and jam), the on board computer can range from 11km/ litre to 14km/litre depending on traffic (ECO mode off and Start/Stop off). But I usually take an average (pertrol pumped/ mileage) and the average is about 13km to 15km per litre. Have stopped monitoring the FC since it is just a number.

Nice! Thinking of installing for my kids to climb up n down.
Since they are "trained" to install the side steps, mind sharing which workshop you went to?
Are the side steps install on existing bolts holes or need drilling?

No drilling need, just plug & play

�

Please google VIM is the place I install the step.

Laoda, thank you for ordering for me the side steps. Loved it!

bro, how much and where you installed it?

this side step looks slick and not protruding too much.�

Sorry for raining on your parade but how cleanable is that part of the car after installation, can it be a dirt trap ?

I would . 1. Warranty is not void 2. It is cheaper by ard 25% than individual servicing. 3. Not too expensive. 4. Fetch a higher price if you do sell to a 2nd owner later (better assurance to him that car was properly maintained from day 1. 5. Risk managed i.e. Catastrophic risk of a major component failure (very very very remote but sway sway 1 in a million chance is you) has TC to honor its warranty

I am still not able to say QQ saves fuel. For the same pattern of driving, QQ actually drinks more than my previous ride. Maybe not a fair comparison. my allion could achieve 14 to 15km/l easiy. But for QQ, it's around 11.3km/l usually.

When price of each oil barrel returns to US$ 100, which was the price not too long ago, then we can utilise all the "ammunitions" available in the QQ such as ECO, Start/Stop, unchecked engine brake, or even up the tyre pressure �:)�

Actually the price of petrol has not dropped much although crude oil price fell to current level.

Group buy for side step is not advisable, it is long and heavy stuff.

�

Weight +/- 15kg and 180cm long. �

The best way is buy your own one, ship to ur home and the best you can have you installer address to receive the step. �Save all the trouble of transport the step.

Your first part of the comment is strictly speaking non-cogent. If you say drive a luxury car need to be so pitiful meh, I would agree (since you can afford a luxury car). But you said drive a b&b car need to be so pitiful meh, certainly could be so because that why you drive a b&b car - for its cost. See the logic?

Basically i do not like the slow pickup of the QQ1.2T and the laggy drive when the ECO mode is on. So I doubt I will change when the oil price is back up to US$100. The fuel consumption currently achieved by me without using ECO and Start/Stop is already better than my previous car (when petrol price was record high). No incentive to change :-)

Ummmmm.. The logic is as long can afford to drive a b&b car already a luxury and if those few tenths of dollar of petrol also wanna save every month, isn't that pitiful? Or maybe I should use the word pathetic?... Hehe....

For eco mode you only need to set once. For start/stop you will need to press every time you start the engine.

I think for 1.2T, the mileage topic is always a discussion point bec this was one of its attractive selling point. Moreover people also compare to ensure their rides behave normally.

Few years ago in anoher forum, a S5 owner complaining about his fuel consumption and this are the type that totally lost the plot of buying and owning a sports car. For me, QQ is a good to have car bec it is new. Bnb car are those left with 2 yrs Altis, sunny, latio, jazz etc.

I think just enjoy the ride lah, this car still attract some lookers. Most likely potential buyers... Hee hee.

I think leave the start stop on when u are on light load and lower demand from aircon.... It is quite ok to save some co2 emission. But when it is hot and u need the aircon.... Turn it off. During rainy days I leave it on.... On hot days turn it off.

My friend A3 had it disabled perm bec it screw up the electronics...lol

My understanding is you need not do it straight after 10k. What I might do is to ask them to substitute with my own engine oil preferably Mobil 1 ( otherwise helix).
tan Chong have their own bottled Fastflo reportedly manufactured for them by SPC. Also for the transmission / cvt oil I would ask them to check for Nissan oem oil and may replace it

Quite a long selection process as well. Last year quite a lot of new models to choose from in this price range. I suspect those same popular models will still dominate the scene this year given the relative
dearth of new models within this price bracket.

Haha it took me just 2 weeks to decide on the QQ, but almost a year and a half to come to terms with parting with my current car :)

Very long hunt, long courtship although 2 years ago qashqai just launched but still not available in spore (in fact 1.2t is just a year old). buying a car can be impulsive as well, your 2 weeks decision is akin to a shotgun marriage (driven by Coe event) . Now you can choose to stay married to her (I assume you are a he), until the statutory divorce when your coe (marriage certificate ) expires upon which you can elect to remarry her ( not many do)

Waiting for the Coe to drop to a comfortable range

this NPMP must be sign straight after 10k servicing or just before doing the 20k ... Any idea?

Confirm that you don't need to start at 10k. when you reach 20 k you can start it there and then

My understanding is you need not do it straight after 10k. What I might do is to ask them to substitute with my own engine oil preferably Mobil 1 ( otherwise helix).
tan Chong have their own bottled Fastflo reportedly manufactured for them by SPC. Also for the transmission / cvt oil I would ask them to check for Nissan oem oil and may replace it

Called up TC. Correction.
They no longer use Fastflo (their inhouse brand). They use Nissan synthetic for engine (I could live with this instead of Mobil 1) and Nissan oem atf oil for their cvt ( I would have insisted on this anyway)

I heard that Hondas, Toyotas are also using CVT besides Nissan. If true, we (QQ) are not alone

ok and CVT is only using 2 pulleys ...

even cui also cheaper and easy to replace compare to a "gearbox"

but then the word "superior" is overated in this context ... lol

�

Superiority in terms of reliability , not the driving dynamics, sportiness as mentioned

Lol I concur... �however this Nissan CVT has got pretty good build in algorithm that mate perfectly with the engine. So though CVT not superior in terms of mechanics, the overall combo of new algo does makes it enjoyable to drive.

The best drive train are DCTs..... followed by 8 speed ATs.... then new gen CVTs and 6 speed ATs.... below this might be less competent or dinosaur liao.

Gear types are not the way forward. Dinosaurs they are.

1.2T road tax 6mths - $206, 12miths - $461

Is there anyway to keep the digital mileage from being replaced by the low fuel display? Reason is that it would be difficult to look at the speedometer as 1.2 T has km/h located at the inner circle... The most brainless thing which TC never bother to change..

Shortlisted the 1.2T QQ to replace my 06 civic. I went through much of the thread and seems like there had been quite a number of issues, e.g. water vapour in headlight, loss of power, start/stop issue etc.

�

To be honest, I like the look of the QQ and the cost/operating cost is also very attractive. Any comments on the overall reliability of this car?�

Side note, can welcome me as qq newbie since ive just test driven recently. qq has just given me a tough time to decide btw vezel n xv...

Go with the car which you feel is right bro. The car will be with you for many years to come unless you will be changing your ride every 2-3 years.

Maybe the turbo consumed more fuel in exchange for extra power.

This one I have to agree. My first few tank I always accelerate to 2.5-3k when moving off from the traffic light and I only got around 10.5-11km/l. After that, I tried to keep it to below 2k and it went up to 12km/l. I do 50/50 city and expressway.

Hi bro, just finish my 1k servicing. To be frank. I am like u before buying qq. Read thru the forum and worry this worry that but hell ya, just go buy and never look back since.

So far i have not face any of this issue (touch wood). I believe every brand and every car sure got this sort of problems, sure got a few batch with qc problems. Just have to take it with a pinch of salt...

Live and let live....

That's good to hear. I test drove the 1.2T and I must say I am surprised that the car certainly didn't feel underpowered. My original intention was actually to check out the 2.0.

�

The only thing that is stopping me from the 1.2T is my concern over the long-run reliability of the car.�

Think I will have another test drive with my SE soon again... [:)] ��Thanks!

May I have a bit of everything - qq cvt wif tiptronic n pickup, vezel led light technology n good fc, xv exterior n interior + safety + awd?

That would b kinda ideal..

Xv exterior? Ok that baffles me... Lol.

But in the end it's a compromise and prioritisation of key factors. For me, safety follow by handling/ride and looks/interior... Then price, AD and warranty.

cheers... Enjoy hunting

Go look at the forums for other car makes like Toyota, Honda, Mazda etc.
For their fair share Of problems related to the cars

Qq exterior design is most modern, but somehow I appreciate xv design a lil more, esp if vezel led headlamp is fitted on it.

Any bros here intending to change their head unit?

I found someone selling the UK original Bosch head unit in ebay.

Not sure will work here but for sure more stable than the current locally installed china-made HU

Hmm, looks tempting http://www.ebay.com/itm/252217947215

I was very impressed that a chap from Renault distributor actually posting on the Renault forum here . Shows a degree of willingness to listen and pay attention to the ground be it genuine concerns or unhappy noise ( and some may be less than complimentary pranks ) from forumers. Well done Renault! Come up tan Chong you could too (maybe you are but doing it quietly)

My SE from TC did talk to me about their forum findings, so probably there are some of them who trawl the forums for feedback. More importantly, are they doing anything abt the feedback [laugh]

I think they classify all other vehicle types after sedan under Luxury & MPV.

1.2T road tax 6mths - $206, 12miths - $461

Very cheap, now go and splurge on those add ons

Did any notice that there are cables underneath connected to the front passenger seat. At least for the 2.0l. It means that it can be updated to an electrical seat as is standard with the driver seat.

Yes I noticed that when I collect my car. The cables were not properly secured initially, had them done during my first service.

I am also guessing it is there for electric seat or it could be for the heating element on the seat. More likely for the electric seat.

We could use them to install seat cooler instead [:p]

You can warm your seat , you can chilled your backside , just don't mount any camera with it

Lol I did bro,just seeing if there are any other recommended brands.

think a lot of bros here did PPS at opti-shine including myself.

I haven't really did a full car wash�myself since last dec...

at 1K servicing request TC to wash with water only,�and on some rainy days just wipe dry.. car still gleaming.�

Just did the 1k servicing at TC too.

Before and after servicing, alot of difference.

Wonder what they did to the car.

Smoother ride, better pick up and acceleration are the more noticeable ones.
