I'm thinking of sending my car in to TC again to check for faulty parts... warranty going to expire in a month's time.

My air con grill on the left will make some 'tak-tak-tak-tak-tak' rapid sound when the car comes stationary... its getting louder and louder. Wondering if thats the sign of the compressor breaking down?

Your warranty not expire next year June meh ?

I also got the hissing sound leh, i thought it is the aircon releasing the aircon gas? Have been hearing this for the longest time!
If really this is an issue, then i must also bug the SA....

hi guys,

if it is hissing sound, then you are right that it is the air-con gas so no worries, mine air-con compressor faulty sound will be there even when I dun on the air-con, machiam like the belt need to be tighten.

If an aircon compressor is faulty, there could be more than 1 symptom / sound. Most of us are technically not so sound in this. So if we just bring the car to TCM, most likely our request will kanna shot down. Either they hear no abnormal sound and refuse to check or they check liao and say everything is fine. We can only trust them isn't it...

Means that Nissan parts only last 36month only
All parts can use up to that period (Lousy quality)
After that all need to change new one
Stomp them see whether their New car can sell or not ?

I think Tan Chong will not answer this kind of answer one....

I changed my window motor just months back, now spoil again, but have to wait for parts (no stock now). From here you can see the failure rate of certain parts.... very dissapointing with Nissan quality... or is it only Latio?

My steering coupling also, changed at the same time as my window motor, now spoil again, i just get it changed few days ago.

I also changed my fan motor a week ago. My warranty just expired. *shake head*

I keep going down to workshop, waste time, waste petrol (because everytime i send car to workshop, when i collect the car, the fuel needle always drop substantially but mileage run only like 10km).

Haiz!
