Most people are quite alarm when we mention engine 'overhaul'. They think nothing is good than the original. Actually this time the original is faulty. In the Sunderland factory, I think Nissan knew that a wrong specs for piston no.2 was installed in some affected batch. In UK for instance it is quite common for owners to do engine overhaul as long as they can get the original parts and know how. In Singapore some workshops are capable of doing it too. It is definitely doable but definitely not for you or I. In the factory, engine built-up cannot be build entirely by only robots. Engines are still built individually so to speak. Many hands still 'insert' the pistons into the chambers etc. My point is that car engines are actually the most straight-forward and reliable part of a component in a car unless in this case of faulty design or parts. That's why it is Renault engine. I also want to assure bon_bbc and Keefe not to be worried since the overhaul was done at TC with real parts and proper expertise. You practically have new pistons on existing engine block unless the engine block is also damage, then the engine have to be replaced.

When you engage into gear, you will feel the car jerking front and back while stationary and loss of power. Sometimes, misfiring may not be the piston issue, it could be spark plug etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the engine is running, the cylinders "fire" in the sequence 1-3-4-2-1-3-4-2... When one cylinder is not "firing" e.g. 2, then it becomes 1-3-4-*-1-3-4-*... You can hear the difference. And can also feel the vibration. Some people say when you rev the engine it is more obvious but actually it's not true. Cos when you rev the engine, the sequence is the same but happens faster so the interval is shorter then it sounds smoother than in lower revs. I had an experience of a failed ignition coil so also missing one cylinder. Same sound and feel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change to Bridgestone alenza at 169 per piece. Sorry quite noob here when it comes to car so wanna learn more for future Hi, had query for tyres replacement in this forum before. Just checked Michellin 215/60 R17 ST (silent tuned?) is $195 each exclude GST. My mileage now is 65k+. Mechanic checked the tyres and mentioned can also replace after the next service.

tmloh1978 Neutral Newbie January 13, 2020 Share January 13, 2020 I just changed to Alenza. So far so good and it’s pretty quiet. On NSHW smooth too. Went to Cameron Highland mossy forest. Climb up without problem with minimum slipping. Overall I would say it’s a balance tyre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_t Neutral Newbie January 29, 2020 Share January 29, 2020 Dear Bro & Sis of QQ forum, I appreciate any advice on my problem. Thank you. 2 years old QQ 2018 1.2T facelift model, mileage 60k. No mod. done. Engine stalled whenever air con is turned on. Turn on blower without air-con, engine did not stall. Car able to restart & move without aircon (just blower) but acceleration is sluggish and rpm is a little erratic. No symptoms b4 this. Sent to TC Ubi, was told might be due to misfiring, cannot confirm yet and was retained for further diagnosis. was hinted that a possibility of serious engine problem which requires overhaul/replacement like the case of bon_bbc. Anyone encounter the same issue? Will TC sales provide courtesy car for prolonged repair? Thank you. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
