Nissan TIIda 2011 FAQs

Check out real-world situations relating to the Nissan Tiida here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

• 2007 Nissan Tiida check-engine light is on

  The check-engine light on any modern, fuel-injected car is there to let you know there’s something amiss with how something within the driveline is working. However, precisely what that thing is could be one (or more) of about a thousand things. The absolute best advice is to take the car to a workshop and have it electronically scanned. The onboard computer (which is what triggers the check-engine light) should have recorded what was at fault and should then be able to tell the workshop’s computer where to start looking.

  Until you have this scan performed, you won’t have a clue what the problem is, and the causes could be anything from a dud oxygen sensor, to a stretched timing chain, and a dead spark plug wire to a blocked fuel-injector.

• Reverse gear delay in 2006 Nissan Tiida

  You may have a damaged or worn transmission that is simply not operating properly in a mechanical sense. But it’s also worth checking the level of the transmission fluid because low fluid is a common cause of this sort of problem. Without sufficient fluid and, therefore pressure and volume, the gearbox can’t operate properly, with symptoms including slurred shifts, transmission slippage, clunky or noisy operation and slow gear selection.

• My 2007 Nissan Tiida's windows won't work

  I'd be ignoring the Nissan dealer in question and taking the car to an auto electrician. You might just find that the problem is something much simpler than all four windows needing replacement. Generic parts will probably not be an option, but wrecking yards are full of Tiidas with electric windows waiting to be fitted to other Tiidas.

  Meantime, I'd be very suspicious of the Nissan dealer's quote. For a start, replacing the windows really shouldn't cost that much. Also, why do all four windows need replacing? Did they all fail together? If they did, it's far more likely the problem is with a fuse, relay, a switch or the body computer, rather than four individual assemblies failing in unison. If the dealer doesn't want to do the job (which is what the quote is telling me) they should just say so, and not come up with ridiculous quotes like this one.
