i wouldnt freak out over this... i think...

in my 1.0 2004 k12, the biting point of the clutch is completley different when cold to when the engine is warmed up, and for a long time when taking off first thing in the morning i would stall

and i word(ed) until i was laid off in a garage so would be used to driving lots of different cars every day so biting points/clutchs etc. wouldnt ever bother me

its just something you get used to, i wouldnt be so quick to dismiss such a great car just yet im sure its nothing to panic over but im sure at a more social hour on here some other members will have a much better input that this

well i dnt really want dismiss this car but will be nice to have possiblity to use this car if u bought it(not paying for a taxi) bt atm this car is in garage <2-3weeks> i had it maybe for 2-3 days. So is anybody will be able to help me and answer on question above? pleaseee.........

if its a chain problem, its a £1000 job usually

 

[destiny102]

so anybody had that problem? what was diagnosed and fixed? I've spoke with one mechanik and he said usually its the ECT sensor - but could be something else such as air flow meter etc....so i've got sensor changed so far, now chain, and God nows what was be4 done in this car causer i still didnt receive a history

try a search on "timing chain", early k12,s and other nissan 1.5 models had major problems fwn

if you didn't receive a history sounds like it hasn't been serviced very well?

the problem like that I might think about a faulty temperature sensor first as I have experienced similar problem before, have u ever checked DTCS code befor u took car in and how about that?
