Hi. A question. I have a 58 diesel Tekna. The 105 bhp engine with the DPF. In the car today, joined my local motorway and noticed grey smoke in the rear view mirror from the back of the car for about 10 seconds which then cleared. I have had the car for about 3 months now and have done plenty of motorway driving but have never seen this before. Anybody any thoughts on what it might have been? I know that some diesels can be smoky but i have never noticed this with mine before today and i thought that the Nissan diesel was quite a clean engine, particularly with the DPF. Of course now my paranoid brain is hearing all sorts of noises from the engine and i'm convinced it sounds noisier than before!
Sounds like the DPF was just clearing its throat after standing overnight...if you're hearing noises that weren't noticeable before, I suggest that prevention is cheaper than a new engine. Get it to the vet and have a diagnostic done asap mate, I would. Having said that, let's hope it was just a bit of muck getting vented after a cold night.
Thanks for the reply. All seems to be well at the moment. Not nice seeing your pride and joy smoking like a chimney. LOL. I agree that it must have been the DPF having a clear out.
I've got a broken front spring in a 2011, so while I've got the strut apart it makes sense to replace the top bearing as well, since as far as I know it's the factory original.
Nissan wants £120, and KYB ones online are about £100. Is that typical price per side?
Just got my 2008 Tekna, and found wiring to both seats but no switches. the wiring is routed to the outside frame of the seat and continues into the seat squab. (both sides of the seat).
Does the readership think it is worth purchasing two switches, to see if the heating functions?
I have a 2014 Note Tekna with a possible flat battery. The keyless entry and fob are not working. The emergency key does nothing when I try to unlock the car manually. Is there a way to open the bonnet from outside so I can charge the battery?
Hi everyone,
Sorry, another annoying question. Boot light doesn't work. Bulb changed but multimeter shows no power to the light unit.
I need to start at the switch, but I'm obviously a little thick as I can't see it. Where it is please?
Cheers
Hi newbie here. Over the weekend I took ownership of 2006 E11 1.4se note. (needed a run about quickly). I have searched through most of the threads on here regarding swapping the Factory fit stereo and most seem to lead to conversation about connect 2 & 3 etc. As one poster previously asked is...
