i have a similar noise on mine...1.0 shape auto ... it turned out to be a very loose heat shield on exhaust ... under the manifold i believe.... cant remember the name of the exhaust section lol
Im not 100% sure this is normal but is it? When i turn the headlights on the engine idle speeds up and slows down when i turn them off.. i presume this is normal in a k11 but not sure so here i am:P
Dont know if this is already on here somewhere, I cant find it, so thought i would up this link : http://www.micra.com.au/technical-articles/nissan-timing-chain-procedure.php
And pics...Attached
to try help anyone who might need it :p
I have a rattle on my 1.0 16v and it only happens when first started as soon as i up the revs the rattle stops. i also have what i think is a separate rattle .. but i think that one is the exhaust heat shield .... i found this to help diag timing chain problems...
Thanx for the reply Andy its a 1998 1.0 shape 16v twin cam... ive just bought some delco altenator brushes to try replacing old brushes with. The fluid is ok, im just hoping the brush holder is ok:) but it has only done 86.000 miles with a lady owner so with any look it will be in good condition...
I have a k11 when driving, after a few mins or sometimes a few seconds the ncvt light will come on and stay on.
Most of the time the gears select just fine . But now and then the car wont go into gear.
I have ran the self diag test and it comes back showing no fault. it does the two seconds...
i just bought a very clean well maintained micra shape auto 1.0 16v
when i bought it the battery was dead and the ncvt light came on after starting
i changed the battery and now it starts and runs fine, but the ncvt light is still on
After some searching i found how to do the diagnostic test...
