Nissan Xtrail Owners: Questions and stuff

**vinj** · January 10th, 2005 10:53 AM

Someone posted on Nissanbayan as well with regard to a "vibrating" problem.. we replied to check the balancing first... If it persists, an independent tire shop like Servitek, Bridgestone, etc... can help check this. If it's nopt related to the tires, then it's time to really raise it up further with the CASA and NMPI.

Do keep your updates posted here.

On the doorlocks, we also had problems with our N16 Exalta Grandeur. What i discovered is that the Taiwan parts like the door locks arent as durable as the old Japan ones... it breaks when when someone is opening the doorhandle while you're still unlocking the door with the power locks.

maop99,

I still consider them as minor problems. Even other car brands we owned had some quirks when we got them brand new. But it's nothing the warranty could not resolve. Overall, I still find the 250x a blast to drive. Just make sure you inspect the unit before they actually assign it to you. Heck, I even test drove the unit to be assigned to me before agreeing to get it. I spent half an hour inspecting the exterior/interior, opening & closing doors, lights, a/c, stereo, locks, etc. But my problem is at 100kph so I wasn't able to detect it beforehand. (there is no nearby place where I can hit 100kph)

Yenners,

How is your wiggle now? were you able to solve it? What did you do? Thanks

never experienced the wiggle at all even at speeds of 140+ kph.

Ano gamit niyong fuel?

Sa akin nung nag unleaded ako (from 3-4 consecutive full tank of XCS) ay nagkaroon ng fuel knock. Nang dinala ko sa Nissan Com--h for 5K PMS ang sabi sa akin ay gumagamit ng higher octane fuel. Nakaka ubos na ako ng 2 full tank of Blaze ay ganun pa din but na-lessen ng konti yung tope. Brought it sa isa pang casa (Nissan O--s) last December, and ang advise nila was to use low octane fuel. After two full tank of unleaded (yung 92 RON) ay may knocking pa din at medyo mas malakas siya. So balik ako this year sa Blaze, paubos na yung Blaze ngayon at may knocking pa din pero paminsan-minsan na lang.

Ano kaya problem ng X-trail ko? 2 service advisor from different branch ay mag kaiba ang isolation process or diagnostics. Ano ba dapat kong gawin?

Thanks in advance.

I have not done anything yet. I've been busy lately. Maybe in 2 weeks or so. I will keep you posted.

Nico,

I only use Caltex Gold or Shell Velocity. I have not used Petron fuel for several years now.(I'm picky with my gas stations) I had a bad experience with Petron fuel once and I blacklisted it eversince. I filled up my Civic Vti with Petron Blaze (or was it XCS+), and it had a hard starting problem every morning. My car starts in 1 click every morning, but after that Petron fuel, it would take 2 or 3 clicks. It took me a few days before I finished off the tank, then switched back to Caltex Gold. Voila... back to 1 click starts.

Re your tope problem, I noticed that you only go for Petron. Why not try Caltex Gold or Shell Velocity? By doing so, you can isolate your problem. If it still occurs, at least you will know that it's not the fuel. Go for a relatively new and clean gas station. Also, make sure you consume your existing tank of Petron fuel (till low fuel warning lights perhaps), then fill it up with another brand.

As per xtrail owners manual, it requires only 93 RON fuel, but I always go for the 95 RON. I really feel the difference in acceleration.

yenners,

thank for your reply.

I will try Caltex Gold next time pag paubos na yung kinarga kong Blaze. Thanks!
