been a while since i updated this but they found the problem last week. Ended up being "out of spec" crank bearings. Wrong size from factory allowing the crank to move round a bit. All conrod bearings + big end + and front crankshaft bearing were replaced. Noise is now gone! Only took 9 weeks...

i can honestly say this is a crock.. my cars been at the same dealership i bought my ute from for 2 weeks and im driving around in a 14k micra instead of my 35k ute! Don't listen to them thieving bastards cause there is not many that will back there own word!

Your not wrong there mate! fingers crossed this is it this time. They did all pulleys and belts first didn't change the noise at hand but did quieten it down so might of fixed another problem that was going to pop its head up it the not too distant future. apparantly its all in detailed...

So car is still not fixed has been close too 2 weeks now of thrashing the absolute guts outta there loan micra. Yesterday I finally got the shits of not getting a straight answer and the dealership telling me they were always waiting on nissan in melb to tell them what they want them to do. I...

I'm in the same boat as you mate, would like to see what benefits they believe it makes to warrant putting it in at every service. As for cetane booster i believe it would have it in there as when i drove my car home from having it serviced after about 30 - 40 odd km i happen to notice it was...

fairly sure they've eliminated all everything external hence they are going to open the timing cover and pull the sump off to check if anythings wrong there. Will keep ya all posted as it develops on monday.

I was told by the mechanic that Nissan are actually rolling this out as they have been developing there own formula to be used across the range of not only their diesel but have formulated one for the petrol range aswell.

Sorta glad I haven't done any mods yet cause no doubt they'd be trying to get out of fixing it under warranty

Nissan are now using diesel treatment/injector cleaner as part of there servicing. So there must be some sort of gain by using it unless the slimy bastards are trying to prematurely wear parts like the injector pump (which is quite expensive on the repair/replace side of things

Well if they did there pretty darn stupid cause its only 18 months old and under full new car warranty lol

Went and checked in today, all externals have been checked and okayed including trying spares to swap out. Nissan melbourne HQ are now involved and its going to be a step by step process as to what gets done. Monday morning they are taking timing cover of to look at gearsets on oil pump and the...

might sound silly but have you tried pulling it from mains power and leaving in unplugged to reset the whole unit?

i HAD to fight the bastards just to get that!! don't worry they won't be getting anymore business from me once its fixed. Will solely only go there for warranty claim if needed in the future.

pretty sure they've ruled just about every external part out. It doesn't seem to happen when cold, rather once it's started to warm up and oil starts to thin out abit I posted a video in another topic called ticking/tapping noise if you want to hear it

So i posted up the other day about a ticking/tapping noise coming from the motor of the mighty d22. Took it back to nissan this morning and after 8 hours they STILL don't know what or where the noise is coming from. They've pulled injectors, rails, fuel filter, injector pump, checked turbo...
