My car as well. front left and right door board, and dashboard. After wasting 1 day letting them fix the front door board,still have the rattling sound, give up and didn't bother to fix them anymore. From my past experience, better don't let SC fix rattle sound cuz will further cause those plastic screw to deteriorate.

About the air con tuck & zeee sound, SC say it's normal o. Almera is the only car has this funny sound. U may try to minimize the sound by don't turn on the air con too early after switching on engine, wait for around 10sec.

I could vouch for this, both Sylphy and Teanna don't have rattle sound. Hack, even the previous sentra is better built than almera.

About the air cond not during reversing, is it normal? my almera has this symptom as well. Can i complain? All my previous car, including my faithful old sunny don't have this issue, LMAO.

this area is the most common dashboard noise...the noise comes and goes(usually after filling petrol) tighten the screw and check for any loose parts.

I notice that the rubber line is another source of noise..This one just make sure the rubber line is clean clean.

I experience this after driving pass a bump or pothole ..the noise coming from the radio and the cover hitting each other..Put a spacer between the radio and cover would resolve this problem

ahhh this one makee noise over uneven surface...just spray wb40..

Many still don understand of the air cond tak tak tisk tisk sound. It is normal.

The rest rattled sound from door , dashboard aso normal.

The kreeek kreeek from tire aso normal. Any sound u don hear from other car , u hear from Almera is normal.

All above claimed from SC is normal.

Anyone can advise or not whether can skip the aircond service?

go 3rd party change how much?

So just wanna share my Almera experience after 3.5 years. Bought mine when it was first launched. Model VL.

Problem
- Door visor came off partially (SC replaced the double side tape)
- AC cooling coil leaked (SC replace under warranty). Took almost 1 month to replace it!!!! Have to made several complaint to Nissan cares before seeing any progress. Actual replacement only took 3 days.
- Rear absorber leak (SC replace under warranty)
- Steering wheel rubber loosen (SC replace under warranty)
- Reverse camera kaput (SC replace under warranty)
- Radio head unit buzzing noise (SC replace the fan under warranty)
Good Stuff
- Good NVH compared to City and VIOS (at the time of launch 2012)
- Good FC (Full tank get about 450 to 500km, city driving, highway abt the same)
- Spacious legroom, not shoulder (Depends on how you use, to me is ok as I always max 4 person)
- Ride Comfort (Hell yeah!  Tried City and Vios, no way they come any close to Almera for ride comfort. Vios still acceptable, but City will break your backbone)
- For in-warranty replacement, TC was good, so far, no question asked. If it breaks, they will replace it for free.
Stuff to grumble
- Built in GPS map update procedure damn complex
- Super dumb and slow GPS
- Very sensitive/ thin tolerance for spares (Tried replacing the AC filter with 3rd party, end up the filter flow rate is insufficient and causing the cooling coil to frooze. The same goes to engine air filter. Tried 3rd party stuff, end up engine no power)
- Engine power ngam ngam use only
- TC service price damn   
- Some of the switches ergonomic very bad (i.e. the boot release is at a hard to reach floor, while the bonet release is "conveniently" reachable at the bottom of dashboard
- AC switch (at the donut) is easily pressed (off/on) when you take stuff from the front 2 cupholders
- Front seat lack cushioning (about on part with City/Vios, but come on Nissan... Latio's seat was awesome!)
- Side mirror no electric folding function (Myvi pun ada!!!  )
- Short warranty period (Like Nissan have no confident in their product, or TC being Chinaman kompeni, decide to save cost on warranty and overcharge on service/repair price!)
- Seriously, TC really overcharge on the service and part charges!    (By my estimation, by 120k km, I have already spend close to 6K on servicing! Service AC is about RM350++)
- TC service PJ is damn packed and always full!
- Alternative, TC service Kota Damansara is damn far away!!

The golden question... Would I buy Nissan Almera again (if I were to go back in time)? Not really, but then again, I am not impressed with City and Vios as well. So, to rephrase the answer, maybe yes. But I will go around advise people NOT to buy Almera. 

did you include acon service ?or you did acon service earlier ?
By the way can i do aligment n balancing outside workshop or it will void my warranty ?

'Yup some guys skip acon as its too expensive but looks like have to do it to maintain warranty .
Guess will just swipe my credit card and get the 40km =rm1.4k+ service package
Anyone here bought the package ?did they include the aircon service in it ?

Mine also like that. Mine even took the additional treatment. Aso like that.
Not normal to me. All my car used to be clear oil after change unless old car.
How to know if fan ko ? Later if I go fix that cooling coil , wan them to check aso

So far I din notice yet. But hope they check too.

for AC service how much they charge..??i need to standby money later on for my 40k service..

total all..??

Did your temperature rise thereafter ?

Thanks Bro. How did the fan sound like ? Is it very loud from inside the cabin ?

Engine radiator fan or aircond fan?
If aircond fan just off aircond la

So got two . one is radiotor fan and air cond fan. But the one with problem one is which one ?

Almera 90% owners having the same problem on engine radiator fan, if still under warranty please go fix it asap.

do not put a number if that not real, my cycles have 5 almera, none have that problem.

Radiotor fan I know where it is. But got air cond fan kah?

Or air cond fan also can be call as Radiotor fan ?

Do u understand 90% and yours are lucky enough within 10%... I have confirmation from technician from ETCM.

Any details to share? What was the nightmare?
I supported low tech conveniences, that why I got the E spec. No digital hoo haa.
