Extremely sensitive accelerator pedal!

I have a 2021 QQ Acenta Premium, with DCT automatic box. Been driving it since I bought it February 2023. Only done about 1500 miles so far. In that time, I am finding that every time I set off from a standstill, unless I breath very gently on the pedal, the car shoots off as if it's in a drag race!...

Re: 2021 Qashquai 1300 petrol clatters on acceleration

Hi, I have the same thing. 2021 petrol with duct box. It clatters a bit on acceleration when cold but otherwise quite happy. My only grumble is on setting off from a standstill, the car does leap forward unless I pussyfoot the loud pedal! A bit of a pain when you are hoping for a controlled take off!

Re: Underbody part

Is it what they call an underbody vortex deflector? (or something like that?)

Occasional metallic clank from offside wheels

Hi, I have a 70 plate QQ Acenta Premium with 18000 miles on the clock. Recently I have been hearing an occasional metallic clanking sound from somewhere around the offside. At first I thought I had a stone or something metal stuck in a tyre but the tyres are clean. It sounds like driving over a tin ...

Re: ECO setting on a 20 plate QQ Acenta Premium

Doesnt ECO make the engine feel flat ? Not for me Im afraid - its normal and fun I like to use the ECO all the time. Without it on, I find that even the lightest touch on the loud pedal, the car takes off like a rocket, throwing me and the passengers back with some force. Great if you’re ready for ...

Re: Acenta Premium buying and parking sensor advice

I have a 20 plate Acenta Premium and it does have front parking sensors and a rear view camera. Are you, perhaps looking at the Visia?

Re: Adding Satnav to new Acenta Premium

I have a 20 plate Acenta Premium and the satnav on board works just fine. I don't see a need to add a separate device to the car. The QQ satnav I have has to be updated online through the car system so no need to buy an SD card.
