Hi Guys, Thank you very much Dw350zQQ for posting the recall letter... and yes, snap....I had the same letter today! But I doubt it will make a jot of difference to our 'flat spot' problem? I have been thinking about the comment from gvmdaddy, concerning how the turbo does not work well at low revs...

Dear gvmdaddy, Thanks for the helpful comments and I can see where you are coming from with the idea that the flat spot problem is exaggerated with having an ultra low 1st gear. However, thinking about it, having a lower 1st gear would in fact increase the effective value of 'r' (the position vecto...

Dear Dw350zQQ, Many thanks for confirming this anomaly. At my age I am certainly no boy racer, but just want to simply obtain a smooth slow pull away from a standing start. Most of the time I can compensate the flat spot with a combination of very careful throttle control and almost a double de-clu...

Hi Guys, I am very interested in the Nissan requested engine ecu update on 2015 1.6 dig-t Tekna , as reported by Dw350zQQ? I have long thought that there is a problem with the way this engine delivers its initial torque from a standing start, i.e. when pulling away from traffic lights or from a jun...

From what you say it does then seem like either a clutch / clutch linkage adjustment / gear lever linkage rod or bush problem. Anyway, the 'crunching' demonstrated in your great little video it is definitely not a 'common characteristic' of the 1.6 Dig-T gearbox and is totally unacceptable on a new ...

Just another thought....you say it sometimes pops out of first gear. Out of interest it may be worth trying to test for this fault by accelerating moderately in first gear ...and then quickly lifting off the accelerator pedal (carried out of course in a safe area to do this ). This should show up th...

Hi BernardTI, I have the Tekna 1.6 Dig-T (15 MY 2,000 miles , Magnetic Red ) and it definitely does not have your gearbox crunch problem. I have been an automotive engineer for many years and the issue (so obvious in your video) is a definite fault in the gearbox drive train, ranging from possibly a...

Sorry, but I have to agree with "Arnison', a "choppy pitched ride' is exactly how I would describe the experience of the new QQ on certain road surfaces. I even insisted on having the 19 inch wheels on my brand new 1.6 DiG-T Tekna replaced with 18 inch after many comments about possible im...

Yes, I would like to also add my sincere thanks to Ian (BatterBits) for sorting out this great improvement...and the fact that it seems that one strut would still support the bonnet adds to the safety critical argument for the design (in case of a single strut failure, although very unlikely).Nissan...

Will do ...(was not sure if there was a separate post /link )Thanks PeterATB, Richard1.6 DiG-T, Tekna, Mag Red, 19/05/15
