So I had my turbo hose replaced a few weeks ago and ever since I have had a red warning light on but no real change in performance except a minor increase in fuel consumption and it no longer tells me to change gear?

I have a new car on order so don't really want to spend too much on getting it fixed but any insights would be appreciated

P.s I'm a bit of a dumb ass so please keep any advice as simple as possible! :D

Welcome to this forum.

The red light presumably has a shape? Any associated message?

Malfunction warning light (red) - (where fitted)

When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the malfunction warning light illuminates. This means the system is operational.
See “Malfunction Indicator light (orange)” later in this section for details of the orange Malfunction Indicator light.

If the red malfunction warning light comes on steady while the engine is running, it may indicate an engine control system malfunction.
Have your vehicle inspected by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop. You do not need to have your vehicle towed to the dealer.

CAUTION

Continued vehicle operation without having the engine control system checked and repaired as necessary could lead to poor driveability,
reduced fuel economy and possible damage to the engine control system, which may affect your warranty coverage.

Incorrect setting of the engine control system may lead to non-compliance of local and national emission laws and regulations.



You won't be able to trade it in with the red light showing.

Do you have a fault code reader which might give clues?

Well to be honest I can't see how you can sort it out yourself when you don't know what the problem is. That's why there are fault codes.
