I love my Nissan dealer
Discussion
Ive a 2003 Nissan Almera 2.2 DCI as my motorway commuter. Driving down the M1 I noticed a loss of power, a complete lack of that diesel push in the back. On turning the stereo down I heard the problem, a whoosh of air when I put my foot down.
On inspection I noticed a hole in the engine air intake pipe about an inch long, it was in a difficult place to fix, so I tottled down to the Nissan dealer.
The drawings had all changed, due to a modification from Nissan, but the parts bloke found what he thought it was and quoted £43 plus VAT, so I ordered it.
As I left another employee asked to check my milage (84000) and called me back in.
The car has 4 Mods from recalls outstanding, including a comlete new air intake/ intercooler pipe set up, and a new ECU!!!!
Getting it all done this week. All in all the Mods are probably worth as much as the car.
I had to visit the same dealer with an ESP fault about a month ago, they reset it and said it was knocked when the wheels were tracked, there was no charge.
What a result

So in fact they were not recalls, just quality enhancements to be done when the car is in for a scheduled workshop appointment.
When cars are recalled for safety related faults as directed by VOSA, the importer not the dealer will send out letters to the registered keepers using data from the DVLA. They will quite often stagger the recall by sending the letters out in batches, so as to not overwhelm the dealers or their parts supply operation.

The dealer said there were "outstanding recalls" on my car.When cars are recalled for safety related faults as directed by VOSA, the importer not the dealer will send out letters to the registered keepers using data from the DVLA.
