    Report - K12 clunk noise to BBC Watchdog for compensation

    My dealer gave up on the 'twang' noise. There ia nothing they can do about it since its a design fault, hence all 160SR will have the problem. Those who claim they dont have its because they have not heard them due to heavy accelerration or radio on. It happens when engine is cold and you have...

    Skyliner, if you are planning to buy a K12, be ready to hear unusual annoying noises from the engine bay. Not all K12 does it but most of them do and Nissan denies the claim of any noise.

    I am taking my 6 weeks old 160SR 6 to my dealer for diagnostic tomorrow, as you all referred this noise as a characteristic of the new K12, am angry why we were not told about it before we bought the car, hence we need Nissan to either admit the fault and recall all K12 to fix it or if they...
