2014 X-Trail

[QashqiGrey]

I reckon all our X-Trail are facing this issue. I suggest the next one of us check with TC when doing servicing and update the rest of us. Better to have collective effort to deal such issue with TC.

Pocy, guess you have the same problem?

Yes, my earlier reply to you.

anyone here having rattling from the area where the centre air con vents are?

 

Mine has rattle coming from the area pointed. I can stop the rattling by applying pressure at that area to stop the material from flexing.

Sorry failed to see it.

Does yours rattle only when it is open?

Mine rattles when closed.

Hi Chrispie, had that problem previously with my qashqai. Occurs intermittenly. Probably due to heat.

Heard rattling sound when open roof and car moving.

Didn't not experience the problem faced by Chrispie.

How did you guys run in the car? Not more than 2rpm and not exceeding 100km/hr for the first 1000km?

new cars don't need to run in as most are already factory run in.

 

Breaking in a new car isn't the same as it was just a few short years ago.…

As recently as a decade ago, manufacturers recommended new drivers follow certain driving patterns to "break in" a new car. The old lessons don't quite hold true today, though.

What does it mean to “break in” a new vehicle?

The old guidelines typically told new-car owners to follow a set of instructions over the hundred miles or so, in order to break in their new vehicle’s engine. These guidelines included such things as driving at 50 mph for a designated amount of time, followed by varying speeds on back roads, and sitting and idling for a time. After going through this process, the driver was instructed to shut off the engine and let it cool down before driving it again.

Why go through this process? To establish new internal mating surfaces of mechanical parts, to seat new piston rings, to establish new seal surfaces, to condition new mechanical parts--to make sure all the moving parts were working together as smoothly as possible. After the break-in period, which lasted for about 100 miles or more on average, the vehicle could be driven without concern.

Do you still have to “break in” a new vehicle today?

In a word, no. Lubricants and engine oil have come a long way, compared to the products of old; they protect metal parts much better than their predecessors. In addition, the steel and aluminum used for engine parts come from the factory already conditioned and treated, thus ready to run.

The only caveat comes with that first oil change. Make sure you change your new car's oil and filter for the first time at 1500 miles unless otherwise recommended by the manufacturer. The reason? Metal has worn off while mating surfaces were established, and those metal scraps need to be removed from the engine before they cause long-term damage.

Should last for a few years, worst case just go back to your detail workshop n ask them to do another 1 layer for a cheaper price in 1-2yrs down the road..yeah the difference can be seen by so much

 

Even washing the car gets easier, last time I used to wipe with the same micro Fiber towel non coated vs coated my Gosh its sooo eaaasy with coat

Have to give some credit to @ aka mad Detailer

 

My car kena tree sap and had a really ugly stubborn stain that I couldn't remove somehow. Have Hin a call and he came down with all his tools and magic potions to help remove it.

 

Great after sales service! Big thumbs up!
