Do you still have the sound recording? Might be useful to post for other users. Maybe as a YouTube vid?

Salut, Sherbrooke!

No recalls. It seems to have been isolated cases. Also seems only the earlier years were affected.

I assume you found this very useful post, if you read the whole...

I'd bring notes about the owners who posted in this thread that got warrantied engine replacements after doing the same RPM/knock test.

Keep us posted!

I don't know why they would deny doing work if it's required, unless the dealership doesn't want/need the work. Nissan pays the dealer for warranty repairs (though at a reduced rate compared to...

Thanks for the update. Do you recall exactly what the failure was? Sounds like it wasn't bearing-related if you had no knocking noise.

No other running/drivability issues than the idle RPM?

I'd say that's not related. It's a perfect description of pre-ignition/detonation.

Solution: kick the pedal harder so it downshifts. :)

Or use a higher octane fuel.

Or... ? Google...

Please keep us posted.

We haven't really had any new reports since 2016 in this thread.

Thanks for the update, Jimicra.

So to clarify, IMPUL: what's the official reason (problem found) for the replacement?

Anonymous: well this should be informative.

The process is apparently fairly quick: "From start to finish, CAMVAP targets 70 days to resolve a case." So says their web site.

Too bad it's come...

Ticking at idle is normal - that's the noise of the dual fuel injectors.

To see if you have knocking, follow the instructions in post #256 by Anonymous:

Unofficial engine knock test procedure

And the winds... Kingston recorded a 55 kt / 101 km/h wind gust at noon. Rain left here this morning - just sun & wind now!

If you have the old filters, there's probably enough residual oil in them to do a used oil analysis, if that's what you're thinking.

Hmmm...

I saw a used base S advertised with "lifetime engine warranty" today...

I haven't tried it, but I think Tim (Daox) has used it to figure out best oil change intervals on his car.

Anyone done used oil analysis?

You're implying that most Micras are defective, which is 100% speculation on your part. We simply don't know that. Stick to facts, please.

I'm banning gonzagnr (temporary) because he's putting this forum at risk by continuing to post unsubstantiated speculation & arguably libellous statements (which I have been removing). Not to...

Wow. Here's hopnig 3rd time's a charm.

^ Anon, not a bad idea.

FYI, on the topic of keeping this thread civil, I have just gone through 100+ of the latest posts and edited some to remove arguably slanderous comments made toward...

Anon - that's frustrating.

Those who have the knock and feel they're not getting fair treatment from a car company (meaning, not getting the repair) might want to check out: http://www.camvap.ca/...

Same engine in the Micra as the Versa sedan & Note.
