Huh, VVT Solenoid, good thing to watch out for.
Perhaps! But it just seems like an odd spot for sand damage to show up, you'd think it would be on the sills or wheel wells. Usually, it's nothing but Salt here, as it's not too cold for it to stop...
Hello everyone,
Just noticed the other day that my drivers side door where the weather stripping from the door meets seems to be causing some abrasion (or at least at was at some point), which...
Anyone have any luck with a process on how to do this without lowering the entire subframe?
I just got a quote from my local Nissan dealer of $398 to replace mine :eek:
They also quoted $109...
Wait what, $6000?!
I literally had my windshield removed, pillars and roof re-painted and re-clear coated and windshield re-installed from Maaco for $1400 taxes in (15% of that is HST) to repair...
I'm also team "wash your car in the winter", usually when I notice it getting particularly salty and crusty.
If it's especially bad I'll do the manual wash with a pressure washer, but for the...
It's encouraging to see that a 2015 Micra with 198000 on it is still going strong, bodes well for my 2017! :D
Have you noticed any rusty/bubble spots on the car? My 2017 had some, but it looks...
Can confirm, the SX4 was actually quite a little popular car in my city despite Suzuki pulling out, as we had a popular Suzuki/Mitsubishi Dealer.
There are two or three in my neighbourhood still...
Yeah this seems correct. Mine is the same. The Micra seems like it could use a 6th gear for the manual gear box, though I'm assuming the ratio was chosen because it still provides good hill climbing...
That is very true, in fact in my manual I found the following guidelines from Nissan:
"Below 64 km/h (40 mph), it is more efficient to open windows to cool the vehicle due to reduced engine load....
Oh excellent, I'll try that. I already bought a few 4l jugs of Mobil 1 5w-30 as it was just recently on sale at Canadian Tire.
I'm pretty sure the stuff that's in it now, although fresh...
I've noticed this problem on my 2017 (Manual) SV, and only when it's cold. When it's parked indoors I dont seem to have the problem.
First thing I tried was the key fob battery, replaced that and...
I think it depends also on how the car is used and stored.
My old Mitsubishi Mirage had it's original OEM battery from the factory (Built in October 2013) and I just sold it in the summer, just...
Can confirm, small car prices have gone bonkers here in Halifax too.
I sold my Mirage thinking I'd be able to find a newer model small car pretty easily, (I was very wrong).
It took me two...
Hello!
I've seen this on the forum mentioned a few times, but if you're buying a used Micra from a place that requires front license plates to a place that doesn't, if you remove the front plate...
That's correct!
Yeah, it looks like the previous owner didn't see the rock chip until it started to rust, which sucks as it could have prevented a more expensive repair.
I've already went...
That's right, top front right above the windshield.
Thanks! I'll take that number into consideration when I get it looked at... everyone is booked up locally for weeks apparently :confused:
Yeeeep that's what I hear on my car too, but only when it's cold weirdly... when it's in the garage driving around its fine at first, no weird squeaks until it gets cold. Useful info!
Oh why do you say that?
2014 Mitsubishi Mirage DE (CVT).
The Micra has worse fuel economy, but it's far more fun to drive and more comfortable!
I'd have to agree, those costs look reasonable considering the amount of work involved.
On my old Mirage, it was just shy of $600 for a standard maintenance package and a brake service - no parts,...
2022 Nissan Micra SV (Garage entry) (2022-11-18 08:33:19)
Hello all!
Recently made the jump from a 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage (CVT) to a 2017 Micra SV manual. (Mainly because of brutal maintenance costs with the CVT) and I wanted power locks and AC!
So...
