Xtrail is 2003 model 2.0 A/T.

Hope you can help me what to check with the car.

Thanks in advance.


at this age, the starter carbon brushes are more than likely worn out. this would make the no click, no crank symptom since the hold-in coil coil of the starter is not strong enough to pull the solenoid plunger and requires the pull-in coil which is grounded through the carbon brushes and the armature
