Hi I'm thinking of changing my headlights on my 08 xtrail and was just curious if there was any wire difference between the xenon and non xenon or if it's just the case of swapping them and the xenon will work fully thanks

No lights illuminate when 4wd dial turned to auto or lock. 4wd doesn't engage. Is this likely to be a fuse? If so, where is it located? Cheers
2 answers
Check your manual mate first up. Second have a look on line where it is for your model. To be honest im a bit perplexed that whilst you are capable of doing a search for the issue and ask here that you have to ask here as the answers for your question as to where the fuses are, are all over the net. Lazy times 1000 bud.
i just did a simple google search &found the answer

2012 T31 4x4 petrol has a big acceleration lag for several seconds, around 30-50kms then it ok. Taken to two two dealers and no faults show on computer .
4 answers
Mine was the same. I fitted an iDrive unit and it got rid of the throttle lag. Improved fuel consumption as well.
mine was the same it turned out to be a fault in the throttle sensor. It wont show up as a fault code you need to take the car to a real mechanic who knows what they are doing, The dealers are useless My local mechanic picked up what the problem was within 5mins Without a computer

My 2013 t31 dci is blowing oil back into the air cleaner. Mechanic says seal in turbo failing and replace turbo. 120,000 km. Seems a bit premature - owned since new. Always serviced. Any advice?
2 answers
The turbo seals were failing at 80.000kms on some xtrails. Nissan says caused by driver error. so nissan did not fix them.
very common problem with the xtrails turbos & its still a problem with the later models seals failing early. You only need to replace the seals NOT the turbo. seals needs to be replaced every 100,000kms

Andre A.asked
I have a T31 2.0dci model but ever since I had battery problems the 'engine light' came on. Replaced battery but Nissan dealer not able to reset code P062F and has now quoted on replacing the ECM at huge costs. Anybody perhaps experienced the same?
1 answer
Have you done a google search for the code? it is a fault with the Internal control Module. Take it another mechanic who knows what he is doing.
Francisco G.asked
why is my 2006 petrol nissan x trail surging and losing power and engine light flickers on?
Then it goes away and drives good
But then it does it again
Car doesn't stall just no power
Any help would be much appreciated
3 answers
I am not a mechanic but if you google the XTrail forum there is plenty of info there to read about this and other issues.
if the engine light is coming on it needs a tune up and new filters go and get it serviced
when Then engine flickers it is telling you there is something wrong. Dirty filters dirty /worn spark plugs, coils go & get a service

Does the Nissan X-Trail 2013 have a mother board?
We had the air bag light come on and had it fixed by the Nissan dealership. Whilst we were at the dealership they said that we additionally had a callback on the air compressor, so we decided to have it replaced, to which they said it needed new brakes and drums as well. So, we had those serviced too by the Nissan dealership. However, now the anti-skid light frequently flashes and solidly remains light-up constantly. Henceforth, we had taken it back and they tried to correct the problem but have thus far failed, to which Nissan states that they have never encountered this problem before. Interestingly, they have demonstrated how to switch off the anti-skid bakes manually, and since the service we also have no radio display or radio channels. Furthermore, they now tell us that they have no codes coming up on there diagnostic system to fix said problems. So, can anyone tell us if they've had this problem and how they've fixed it?
Regards, AB.

Your only getting the problem because Nissan has no idea what they are doing they "fix" 1 thing & fu*k another then "fix" that problem and so on Knowing Nissan they have probably deactivated the anti skid & . its showing a solid light because Its NOT working. If the system is deactivated it WONT show up on their diagnostic system. If they changed the brakes & drums that more than likely has something to do with it. & they probably also stuffed around with wiring when they were "fixing" the air bag the apprentices do the work & they are not supervised. Its not a common problem with Xtrails the problem is caused by Nissan themselves. By the way they shouldnt need a code to fix it. Have you checked all the fuses & relays?
typical Nissan They havent got a clue nissans are good cars If you dont let nissan service them Its nissan who creates the problems in the 1st place. they dont know what they did to create the problem & cant fix it.

Kaz S.asked
I just bought a 2013 xtrail auto.
it has no manual with it though...
there are 3 options on the gear (in front of the p,n,r auto stick) ..
the dial has 2x2, auto and 4x4 on it. I know when to use 4x 4 .. around town, should i be in 2 x2 or auto please?
1 answer
Hi Kaz,
Leave the setting on 'Auto' around town as the car by default uses 2WD and will use / brake 4 wheels as needed i.e. in an emergency manoeuvre or front wheels start slipping.
Recently updated my X-Trail to latest T32, was very happy with my old T31 X-trail.
