Excellent. So that's another one. Thus far, my new one has about 8,000km on it and still knock free.

Allright. So the engines have an issue. Even some replacement ones do. And no, nissan isnt doing anything to fix it. Unless there is a breakthrough, stop posting every detail. Youre preachin to the...

Im starting to wonder if this is just simply a quirk of this engine and its appearance is part of things wearing in.

2080 Its not a big deal man. You have 100,000km warranty on it and even if your car needs a new one Im happy to report mine is still knock free thus far.

And I drove mine from ontario to Halifax...

The second video defintially has the knock. You can hear it the moment he comes on the throttle.

Woah, hold the phone. Mine was out of service for a week and they had no problem covering the rental.

Bad valve guide could deifnitally be an issue.. Guess they will find out when they put the head on the new block. Its hard to tell. These things have one of the noisiest top ends i've ever heard....

yes.. lower compression can be a indicator of a failed bearing. If the bearing has failed there will be a gap between the crank and rod and will cause the piston to sit lower at tdc, thus giving a...

Short block comes with the affected parts.

Block
crank
connecting rods bearings and caps
pistons

A long block would be everything, AC condensor, plugs, head, intake, belts, pullies- not...

Lol.. A back order eh. Well. Its good tho that they are sorting it out! :)

Engine oil analysis can tell them a lot of things. (If that is what they are doing). For example if they see high quantities of copper in the oil, then it could indicate bearing wear. If you do you...

True. And yes, there is no logical explanation for why I think the noise has reduced and vanished. It could simply be a placebo effect. In fact it could indeed still be happening.

If they changed...

same as mine. The "Abnormal normal engine noise."

Now to do my conspiracy theory, they have obviously noticed a trend. They are using the same testing method. Maybe they are looking for a...

Hmm... I would say about 7. She soon due for the first oil change. I havent driven it as much now that we have 2 cars. Mine mainly floats me to ottawa for appointments with the boys and around town....

Yeah, I didnt hear it in the video either. But the headliner rattle and bearing are things Ive had on my own micra. Must have been a bad run at the factory or something.

My knock seems to have...

Sounds familiar. Wonder what the result will be.

Yup. The tech noticed it was not normal. Tested. Confirmed it was not normal. Nissan engineering says "Normal".

Just show them mine.

Looks similar, eh?

In it's defense. Mine is almost 3000km in, and the noise is now absent. For now.

I have the headliner rattle myself. My fix was a pin inserted at a 45' angle (Specifically a poppy) so that the pin touched the metla of the roof.

Well.. Oddly enough.. My noise has vanished again.. No logical reason I can come up with other then maybe something is broke in and sorted itself out.. Still kind of noisy on cold start up but every...

CAMVAP has called me back and is pushing the arbitration up. If you have been to the dealer and told "no", push.

I agree man. I was really hoping it wouldn't. I started loving nissans when they were Datsun. And I still love my Micra. I just want it fixed. Something to be proud of and to brag about.

Gentlemen...

Shots fired.

I wish there was a lemon law in canada..

And I am waiting parts.. Went to check my oil and the dipstick tube came out... I put it back in but now I have a lovely burning oil smell in my car....

Yup.. yes gonz.. Ill do another video once the weather improves. Weve got the rains of the hurricane formerly known as patricia here right now.
