Apparently i was the first official case in Canada so we'll see how long it takes until more people come forward and a recall or bulletin goes out.

    Sorry to hear that anonymous. Hopefully you can get everything figured out aswell.
    thank god your new engine does not have the problem.
    are they going to disasembly the old engine for inspection, or send it back to the factory or something like that??
    when you have some free time can you upload a new video of the new engine when hot rob??

    Anonymus, one thing you did not tell us, was your engine making the knock when it was brand new, or you didnt pay atention??
    Or you are sure that when the car was new the knock was not present??

    Sorry i have no clue why it keeps flipping sideways like that. At least its something to show your dealerships as evidence to support the claim.

    well anonymums, in any case the sad truth is that you have the knock now
    i wish this is only a limited number of engines with a defective component provided by some supplier.

    the thing is, that if they dont fix the problem, they will be installing "less" faulty engines until warranty ends, i remember the case of one guy on the versa forum from the US, that he had his engine 3 times replaced for the piston slap, in the end i think the dealer buy the car from him.
    rob, does the new engine sound the same or even better that the micra sv you were given while they were raplacing the engine??

    RobM, thanks for posting the replacement details from the invoice:

    Completed removal of engine assembly due to knock from engine isolated to cylinder #2. Installed new long block assembly, transferred over necessary components, topped up oil and coolant level. After assembly, confirmed that knock symptom was eliminated. And road tested under same conditions to verify.
    Too bad it didn't specifically say what the cause of the knock was in Cyl #2.
