Texen Clutched February 1, 2011 Share February 1, 2011 Hi all I have a 2007 Nissan Latio (Premium with CVT gearbox) that produces rumbling noise at low speed or when the engine is experiencing load. The noise is especially evident at cold start and the noise got louder over the past whole year. I brought it to a mechanic and was told initially that the engine mounting might be damaged. Then when i urged the mechanic to confirm again, I was told that the catalytic converter might be the one vibrating and causing the issue. Any bro here got the same problem as me? anyone know whats wrong? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chao5 1st Gear February 1, 2011 Share February 1, 2011 Sorry to hear that. If I were you, I would go back to Tan Chong workshop. Afterall, they are more experienced in their vehicle type. It definitely more expensive than those general workshop but at least you're more assured the problem will be isolated. Checking is free I suppose. Repairing is not. You get my drift?

Tiger21 Clutched February 4, 2011 Share February 4, 2011 Mine 05 Lation CVT... Same issue, found to be due to Exhaust mis-aligned (most likely knocked it when reverse parking). Since its not causing any problems Tan Chong recommend live with it.. :) It comes out around 1.5k - 2k rpm right? Once you high speed its goes away.... also, initially only happens during rain, but now cold mornings too... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texen Clutched February 10, 2011 Author Share February 10, 2011 yes yes!!! exactly the same. The exhaust of the car is extremely easy to get hit. Then i guess it makes sense that there is something wrong with the catalytic converter. Its not causing any problem but its very annoying and makes selling the car less easy.

Heartsz Neutral Newbie June 27, 2012 Share June 27, 2012 (edited) Hi All, I have the same problem with my Latio 1.5A Premium. Low whirling noise when car starts to pick up and accelerate. When the noise started, I have just passed the 3-year warranty period and mileage was only about 50,000km. Went to Tan Chong and they told me its gearbox transmission problem which they will not bear the repair cos warranty period is over!!! Repair will cost $3,500 and one-week without car! So damn angry.. I WILL NEVER EVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN CAR! I promise! Edited June 27, 2012 by Heartsz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiario 5th Gear June 27, 2012 Share June 27, 2012 bro, get another opinion from outside mechanics such as autosaver or autoaid. if your symptons is exactly the same as Tiger21 due to exhaust misaligned, it can be fixed FOC during your servicing.

So damn angry.. I WILL NEVER EVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN CAR! I promise! Apart from the noise, did u encounter difficulties in up shifting of gears as u accelerate from stop? And jerking when the gear changes? If answer is no to both of above, you might want to consider changing your cvt oil and flush the gearbox as well. Lastly, did u manage to narrow down the source of the noise? Low whirling noise is common for Latio with window visors. Could that be the cause?
