    EGR pipe cleaning

    I don't think so, especially if it's fuel based, which will do nothing for gas chaneling, and there have been reports of injector problems afterwards with these types of services in diesels. Today Halfords did an oil/filter change and aircon re-regass, and 2 front sidelamp bulbs (I couldn't...

    EGR pipe cleaning

    I've ordered a new EGR valve for my dci today. I've read that the metal pipe often often is clogged, but I can't work out how to remove it to check. The current EGR wasn't really that clogged when I checked it, it just doesn't work properly - perhaps the pipe itself isn't too choked? Any...

    Timing belt change recommendation

    Can anyone recommend a trustworthy and reasonable priced garage in the Teeside area that can change the timing belt/water pump on my 2003 dci? I understand special timing tools are needed. And can anyone indicate an approx cost? Many thanks all.

    K12 Radio Codes

    Thank you so much - code worked perfectly! I just had to put the ignition switch to the accessories position for one hour without starting the engine, and after one rather boring hour it allowed for the code to be entered. Thanks again - saves me listening to the droning diesel engine...

    K12 Radio Codes

    Hello, I'd be really grateful if someone could help me with my radio code - it hasn't worked since I got the car! It's BP 3349 3 6367460. Also, am I correct that you switch the ignition to accessories position for 1 hour, without starting the engine? Many thanks for your help.:)

    Missing rubber button on door

    The little rubber button on the driver's door handle for the keyless entry system is missing. Can I prise/swap the button from one of the other doors, or does the whole handle have be replaced?

    Car won't start - help!

    Thanks for helpful suggestions, car is now running again. I managed to bleed and prime the system properly, and the car is running well. I've run some injector cleaner through it, filled it with Shell Ultimate, and with the new fuel filter is is running noticeably smoother, and starts...

    Can you identify this?

    Can someone tell me what this is? The clear plastic fuel pipe to the filter comes from here. Having read some other info on priming, I'd like to try and inject fuel down this pipe to fill the filter, and help purge air out. If it comes off the pump, how?

    Car won't start - help!

    No the ignition wasn't on when priming - does that help? I understood there wasn't an in-tank pump, so assumed the main pump only worked when the engine ran.

    Car won't start - help!

    2003 Dci 1.5 80bhp. Today I replaced the fuel filter, using a good quality filter, and you've guessed it, the car won't start. I'm certain this is due to air in the fuel lines, but the problem is that the primer bulb on the bulkhead simply isn't priming the system, no matter how much I pump...

    Dci 80 2003 questions

    I've had my car for a couple of weeks now, and am generally pleased with it - economy is terrific, and it starts and pulls well through the gears. I have a couple of questions I'd be grateful if anyone could help with. 1. It starts cold/hot easily and pulls fine, with no no smoke, but coughs...

    Hi I'm new - with questions....

    Hi!:) I've just bought a 2003 Micra with the Renault diesel engine, 86000 miles. Not had a Nissan for many years (Sunny anyone?) and these K12's seem to have a poor reputation with some, but it was very cheap due to body damage, and I'm on limited budget... ...but it drives quite nicely. I...
