Could be - and it could be many other things too no doubt. But as the user manual states you should use the Bosch plugs - and as several people here have stated you should use the Bosch plugs with post 2000 coilpack engines too - it seems like the sensible thing to try first. Just want to know...

The owners manual of my 2001 K11 says to use Bosch FR8DCX spark plugs. When I look on ebay, I see FR8DCX and FR8DCX+ Can anyone explain what difference the "+" makes? I currently have NGK plugs and I'm having a slight problem at low idle speeds when the car is in neutral - the engine revs...

So I put some fuel into my new K11 Micra for the first time a few days ago - today I went for the first reasonably long drive since doing that (did a couple of very short trips earlier, without incident) and the Malfunction Indicator Light came on about 30 minutes into the journey (steady, not...

Ah, so you are saying that the ones I have seen have actually been 1.4's (with the 1348cc CGA3 engine) - NOT true 1.3's with the CG13 engine? It was just the owner thinking "1348cc - let's call it a 1.3"? It essentially is a 1.3 of course, so I can understand why some people might say that...

I'm confused now. I've seen 2001/2002 reg 1.3 litre k11's for sale - and you say there is no post 2000 CG13 engine? My mechanical knowledge on all this is virtually nil, as you may have guessed!

What about the post 2000 CG13? I know the post 2000 CG10 and CGA3 had coilpacks - but if the CG13 didn't, then presumably it doesn't have the troublesome Bosch throttle body?

So if the CG13 had no coilpacks, what type of t/b did it have?

Yes, it states that on the Wikipedia page - but it was the 1.3 engine I was curious about, which didn't appear to have coilpacks according to the specs they have listed.

Back on the subject of post 2000 K11's I was originally hoping to get a 1.3 engine, but the 1.0 S that I found was so great I couldn't turn the opportunity down to buy it. Anyway, I noticed on Wikipedia that the engine specs show the 1.3 engine as not changing to a coil pack in 2000, like the...

I'm lucky to have a Nissan specialist independent garage about 10 minutes walk from my house - get's loads of great reviews from Nissan owners, some of whom travel 50-60 miles to bring their car for servicing. So I'll ask his advice re oil changes, but I'm erring on 6 months now. I'm sure...

Thanks davyboy. My new K11 has had oil changes every 12 months, regardless of the very low miles covered - and I'll be continuing that, even though I won't be doing more than 2,000 miles per year at most. Actually, I've seen conflicting recommendations regarding the service interval for oil...

Thanks for the welcome. Are there ANY Renault parts in these late K11's? If not, what is the basis of the "post 2000" comments about reliability that I've seen posted quite frequently?

Hi Just bought a 2001 Y reg K11 1.0 S 28K genuine mileage, FSH to the year dot, not a spot of rust anywhere - drives like a brand new car - so I'm very happy, and loving my new Micra. However, since I looked into Micra's in more detail, it seems the knowledgeable owners (you guys) are...
