Problems and faults: Nissan K12 Micra
- If the Nissan Micra’s engine is running rough or will not start, there may be a fault with the crankshaft sensor. To fix, the sensor needs to be replaced and the flywheel may also need to be cleaned.
- If there is a rattling noise from the Micra’s engine or poor performance, the timing chains may have stretched due to the oil not being changed frequently enough.
- Knocking noises from the front suspension may be due to a factory misalignment.
- The battery may be drained due to a software error which continually checks that all systems are shut down and using power in the process; if so, reprogramming will solve the problem.
- Problems with the electric boot lock may be due to water ingress.
