HEY, First time post been veiwing forum for a while, dealer manager told me to come here so i stop harassing him in order to solve my problems, have had a 01 xtrail se+ 2.0l for 8 months.
In car noises have to be my pet hate, had a look thru and i can't see the ones that plague my x-trail journeys. Can anyone offer any advice for the following 'sounds' that drive me mad, i have been back to the dealership several times, they either can't find the problem, or make them worse.
1) sunroof rattle, wasn't so bad, then i asked dealership to take a look, and since then.....****, drives me mad, been back, gets even worse, they keep saying they've tightens some screws to fix it, do these screws exist! can i 'tghten' them myself? car does'nt look so good with tissues shoved in the sunroof!
2) If i use the climate control at some point(usually after a sharp turn) it makes an awful noise, sounds like a fan is catching something, again they never hear the noise so can never fix it (there best try was changing the pollen filter???) an austrian nissan employee did here it, but didn't have time to do it whilst i was there and due to my poor german i could only make out that it was something to do with something behind the glovebox.
3) a scraping noise when i reverse or am at biting point on a hill, sounds like it comes from the rear right wheel, family can here it from in the house sometimes, usually hapens wen it cold and wet, have spent hours driving with nissan mechanics to try and simulate the noise with no luck.
If anyone can help with any of these then i will replace the noises with the sound of me singing ur praises!
This is also in the 100,000km thread, but there is a Canadian tech bulletin issued at the end of September, some vehicles are missing felt padding where 3 guide pins attatch the dash to the firewall. I thought all the plastic panels on top of the dash were squeaking together, but that wasn't it. Kudos to my dealer, they knew about it and they nailed it on the first try. Had to leave the car overnight, entire dashboard has to be removed.

Tried asking these questions on another xtrail thread, but had no luck so i'm hoping that if i give it more publicity someone may be able to help me.

If i usually have to turn it off, if i leave it be it gets worse and sometimes starts to make a bit of a burning smell.

Also, living in a area with a reasonable climate i only have to, at worst, scrape ice off windows in the morning during winter months, but i may be moving to an area with much worse climate, snow, high altitude, freezing, will there be anything anyone things worth doing to make the life of my xtrail easier whilst staying here? cheers:

I'm one "lucky" dude....(help needed actually, please come in)
ok..after two times to the dealership, my dash board rattle finally got fixed. *knock on wood* at least for now...here is the exact wording from the report, which MAY help some of you here if you encounter the same problem.
3307 Noise from Dash over bumps, lack of insulation war took for roadtest, heard noice from dash removed dash and all trim compnoents insulated the dash pins and the pin seats Reinstalled dash and trim components took for roadtest with shop foreman noise is now gone.
HERE comes ANOTHER noise problem after fixing the dash rattle, Clunking noise keeps comming out from the B-Pillar area when i close doors, drive over bumps or even when im IDLING !!!!!
I thoought it has something to do with the windows, but turned out i was wrong. My gf suggested it was the Sunroof, so i opened it (tilt), closed it, the sounds was GONE. - - > for a while. Then it came back out, then idid the same thing, noise gone. Cycle repeats.
Now i knowfor sure, the Sunroof rattle problem has struck me. Goshh is my x-trail problematic. Horrible fit and finish.
So my question is..is there anyone out there who can help me with this sunroof rattle problem ? Can it be fixed ? if so, how ? I aint doing it myself unless its like 1+1 easy...I bought the car fair and square and im gonna let my dealer do the work. But at least when i deal with them, i dont sound like another ignorant customer.
When i bought my 05 X-Trail LE in March 05, the passenger side dash rattle started within the first week of ownership. It would go away once the vehicle was warmed up and once spring time came and warmer weather started, the noise never came back, UNTIL FALL. Then every cold morning, tick tick tick. It would go away once the vehicle was warmed up, but the colder it was outside, the longer it took for the noise to disappear. Well, now that the weather has gotten cold here again, the noise was back and getting worse, and never goes away. I brought it in for it's 48k service (trans flush, coolant flush, diff oil change) and had the shop foreman go for a roadtest. I didn't even have to drive off the dealer lot and he heard it plan as day.
The wife picked it up yesterday and the fawkers had the gull to charge me $3.65 for some foam to fix the problem!! At first i laughed, but then i thought... are they on crack? Charging me for foam to fix a defect in their vehicle? Hmmmm... kudo's Nissan, your a class act!!
My sunroof rattles too. At the back passenger-side. Open or closed it doesn't matter. The guys at my Nissan dealership claim they spent about 2 hrs tightening everything they could, but it still rattles. This rattle of course just happened after the warranty had run out.
I own a 2003 2.2 diesel sport and have had it for 2 years with little or no problems. However in the last couple of month I have noticed a hell of a lot of thick balck smoke coming from the exhaust when I accelerate, it embarrassing to be honest. Can someone tell me what would be the possible cause or is this just normal? I would like to get some advice here before I spend a lot of money bringing it in for a service, by the way it was only serviced 2 months ago and the issue started happening shortly after that.
Thanks in advance for any assistance given,
