Wonder any nissan gl user experience this?

When the car engine turn off for a long time like start engine in the morning, after rain, or maybe the engine is cool down. The engine started to have clip clip sound, sometime quite loud but after acceleration for few minutes, the sound stop and it runs smooth again. It's bit annoying and irritating and everyone will be lookin at my car wonder's what going on!?

I m had sent the car to one of the Nissan Service Center in Pahang to rectify the problem, but by the time i m reach the center, engine already smooth and normal sound since its warm/hot d. So sometime the technician unable to detect any problems. When raise the issue, the technician only apply some oil to the engine. But after the next day it happens again! And I m lazy to go back tat service ctr bcoz is far from my home, no nissan svr ctr near me. Make several comment bout this issue but they just couldnt get rid.

And then to my extend, i m fed up with the services, i m head to my local service center change engine oil, the castrol and the necessary maintenance services. The technician old uncle claim it was a tensional bearing issue whereby the local services couldnt resolve it until a special tool be found which use by nissan service centre. They claim they need to unplug many stuff, take out the whole stuff and unscrew something so that the engine can run smooth when its cold. They also claim that it will slowly damage the timing belt if the issue prolong. They also suggest me to take it to Nissan Service Center!

*Sorry, ain't know not much knowledge bout automotive. *

I had a friend driving latio having the same issue, but she claim it was something to do with air cond. So at first she went for servicing and warranty, the guy in service ctr said it was normal, when its hot its ok liao. After the warranty period, the same technician claim it was some belt faulty need to change for few hundred bucks. *Feeling being cheated*

Well, I m wonder what could be the problem? Any Grand Livina user experience "klip clip" sound in the morning or when its cool down?

FYI, I m wish to claim the warranty before my mileage reach 60000km, now about 50k d, but how? or any nissan service center reccomend?

Feel like wanna raise a complain after 2-3times servicing still same issue. But complain, if problem still persist also useless rights? doh.gif will next service after my warranty still cover if problem persist as i raise it several time b4 the warranty end? icon_question.gif icon_question.gif

My Thanks in Advance! Cheerz!
