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...

All these people jumping up and down with their old Nissan/Datsun unscathed reliability, I do not blame you guys. Nissan used to have excellent reputation regarding reliability, I agree I owned a K11 for 9 years, loved it and I was amazed by the quality they used to be. But Nissan is letting...

just wait you will soon hear squeaks from passenger airbag dash

..and the lemon just happens to be a new 'nissan micra' I had a K11 used for 9 years , very happy no problem at all, thats why I was loyal to stay with Micra....but so unfortunate

I was not surprised to see Nissan Micra in the bottom 4 of Reliability survey by Which magazine. My two month old 160SR apart from the famous 'twang' noise on 1st and 2nd gear, now the windsreen washer is broke, and passenger window rattles. Its going back to dealer on Monday after ongoing...

I bought mine after months of haggling and playing dealers with each other I paid £10500 for a list price of £11220 with 5 doors and metallic paint inclusive. Yesterday I checked the price of 160 SR which is now called Sports SR with metallic paint and 5 doors its gone up to £11999. Can't...

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.

Thanks Dr Z for the support, and yes You would like to know what my dealer had to say, funny enough they said they found NO FAULT or noise, they checked the car and lubed few bits underneath and tightened a few bolts. When I got there I tried to demonstrate the noise with the mechanic in the...

Emotion Red looks devilish.

Hi Fordy, the noise comes from the front of the car, everytime youstart the car from cold it happens on 1st or 2nd gear while the car moves at 5-10 mph. Its a sounds like a loud 'spring noise' which resonates on the carbody. Some one here said its the EPS engaging, but Ive tried to swich the EPS...

Hi Skyliner its the spring/suspension/eps engaging noise see my posting on 'the curse of 160 SR' couple of weeks ago. I will see what they have to say, if they deny any noise I will video tape the noise and copy this thread from this club and complain big time to Nissan.

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...

thanks guys at least am not the only one with the problem, but I will still get Nissan to have a look and see what they say.

I bought my 160SR just a month ago. I have noticed this noise from under the bonnet when I engage the 2nd gear when the engine is cold. Its a sort of 'spring release type of noise'. My dealer asked to wait for a month or so, if it persist they will look. But I am worried and called Nissan...
