Hi,

Currently driving Almera E spec.

Plan to change tyres soon, currently using stock tyres Conti comfort contact cc5.

1) Should I change back to stock tyres? How much would it be per tyre? I am satisfied with the stock tyres but feel that can be more stable if get a bigger width tyres (195/60?)

2) If not, any recommendations of any other tyres? My main concern will be the cost as will be changing all 4 tyres at once. Hopefully around rm200 max per tyre. Wider and more stable tyres will be a plus point.

Thanks!

Plan to change back to similar 15 inch because don't want kacau the odometer accuracy too much later.

So how? Any other recommendations other than Continental?

Just signed up NPMP service package from Nissan service centre for around rm1.6k..

This package is supposed to cover my service from 40k to 70k..worth it ah?

Lol true also ah.. Nvm la, I was thinking quite Okay, since pay now the 1.6k, then no need to worry about service cost for next 3 services until 70k mileage..

Any battery recommendation for Almera? Preferably maintenance free one. Thanks!

Can just use D, but you will soon realize that Almera will be underpowered when going uphill.

What you can do I press the OD button at your gear knob, or push gear lever to 2 when tackling steeper corners.

I myself went up Genting twice and Cameron once with no problems. Almera E spec. Good luck!

This one I have to agree. Even at 140 also quite quiet for me.

However my only grouse is when the car moves from stationary. Will hear a distinct high pitch gear change sound from gear one to two.

If raining i wouldn't dare to push above 100kph..scared haha

Hi I want to ask, did you change because got sound or just change in case of future problems? So far mine haven't had any problems (touch real woods) though touching 43k..

Nope didn't notice this.. Usually my radio will be on Haha..

Hi all,

I just serviced my car for 50k mileage.

When at home I checked the engine oil level but realized that it is below the "H" level on the dipstick.

Question is, can I ownself go and buy a bottle of synthetic engine oil and top it up myself or just let it be? Since it is not at nearing the "L" level.

If I were to top it up myself, what brand of engine oil is the one TC is using? Because I didn't ask them what brand where they using.

Thanks!!

Hi Bro,

My 2 year old Almera also facing the same brake noise problem.

Sent to sc once to service, but noise came back after that so didn't bother until now.

Hi,

Have anyone experienced when off the engine of the car, the engine still running for awhile then only off?

Should I worried? I thought that only happen to turbo engine..

And anyone have experience with braking noise? Complaint to SC few times but still happening...

Hi, mine is E spec.

Actually I found out later that it's the air cond fan still spinning after engine off, is it a sign that going to kong?

Aiya dang.. I made appointment for thus Monday. However, will be doing long distance today up to Penang.. Any tips?

If let's say the fan really Kong will any symbol come out? I already stand by the Nissan tow services just in case. Thanks.

There is not funny sound, just that I can feel the motor fan turning very roughly.. And can feel the vibration from inside the car..

Believe it or not, made it to Penang.. Fan like getting noisier.. Anyway, thanks for the advices and will get it changed by Monday.

Last time my saga BLM also don't have this kind of problem.

Hi Bro,

I can only tell you from my experience, others might differ.

I realized there was a problem with the motor fan when one day I offed the engine, but the motor fan was still running for some time.

After a few days, it became more and more obvious. It became more and more noisy whenever I on the air cond. But I felt it only during slow speed.

At higher speed I don't feel the vibration. At standstill you can hear the fan rotating violently, but good thing is its still working.

In fact I drove with defect motor fan for at least another 600km before getting it changed. I don't recommend you do the same.

So what do you do when it happens? Don't panic. Make sure the problem is your motor fan first.

Call your nearest SC and make the nearest available appointment, and provided the SC has stock available. Some SC need 1 week to order and for the stock to arrive.

If it's within 3 years of your warranty period, it's free. However I asked, the cost of a motor fan is around rm700.

I did asked the SC whether they changed vendor and they said yes, however I am not sure whether for the face-lift version they have already changed it. Mine is pre face-lift

When will it happen? Nobody knows. Mine happened at 60k mileage. Some earlier, some later. But if it was meant to happen, better if during the warranty period.

Of course there was some regrets in buying Almera but hey, there are always service centres to help.

And don't get me started over bearing problems.. Let's keep that for another day. Mine yet to happen, but I am keeping an open and positive mind.

Cheers.

From your description it's not a faulty air cond motor fan but more like an Almera common "feature" because I also experience it every single morning hahaha..

For air cond motor fan, I can tell you that you won't miss it. The moment you on your air cond, you will hear a continuously loud sound from your air cond motor fan to a point you just want to throw the car away.

Bearing I can't tell you cos I am yet to experience, but I think currently I am experiencing it's early symptoms.

Best option to send for SC Check since still under warranty.

Last time my saga BLM also no such problem.

What to do, already bought Haha.. Just live with it..
