Nissan Dualis 2010: Noise when cold starting

Asked by Mahesh Krishnadas

I bought a Nissan Dualis Ti Series 2 model last year and after the six-month service I noticed a noise for 20-30 seconds after a cold start, but neither the dealer nor Nissan has been able to diagnose the problem. Also, the Ti model comes with 18-inch factory fitted wheels, but the spare is a 16-inch wheel with a yellow sticker showing a speed limit sign of 80km/h, whereas the specs say it comes with a full spare.

For starters, make sure the oil used in the service was the correct Nissan recommended oil. Even if it was have the oil changed again. The spare wheel is a full-sized one, being a normal 16-inch wheel, but because it isn't the same size as the road wheels, which are 18-inch, it is speed limited.
