Nissan X-Trail Questions & Answers (page 3 of 14)

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.

neither will Mazda doors

Toyota doors wont open either

its on the remote

There is nothing on there only the lock and unlock buttons.

thats it there is no automatic boot release the lock locks it the unlock unlocks it. then lift the boot by hand

Correct. Need to open bonnet to replace wiper blades.

You need to open the bonnet to replace the blades

Hi Jdd,

I'm not too sure myself how you would do remove the LH from ac vent.

Have you done a google search? i just did & found out how to remove LH ac vent on you tube

depends what year & model

Fair enough - Lets say a 2005ST T30 II, I'm looking at it second hand with 170,000kms on the clock

Our first '05 ST lasted to 250,000 Km's with no significant issues. Replaced perished rocker gasket at 240,000 Km's, the shocks were completely spent, we'd changed all 4 wheel bearings by this time, and right at the end there we noticed a slight crack in the transfer case. I would be paying attention to these areas of interest. Of course, buying something with a solid service history at this age is a must, also consider if the vehicle has been used to tow a van, and if in doubt, get it checked out by a trusted mechanic.

I would have thought you just press the start button without applying the brake. Then turn on the radio .
It will turn off if you leave the car with key in your pocket. I must say last time I went to the drive in I wound down the window and stuck that big speaker on the glass LoL If all else fails go talk tour local Nissan dealer. Or if there is an X-trail at the drive inn ask the driver for advice.

I just did a very simple google search & found a wiring diagram

I have been searching google and can’t find it can you send me the link please

Plenty of videos on you tube i just watched one for t32 xtrail very informative how to install & wire

First of all, it must come back with the price. But in my opinion, just 2 or 3 years of car, it runs a bit more than average. Also, consider the cost of services, would be on a higher stage now. and most probably you will find if you 'd like to pay 1 or 2 grand more, you will get a car under 60k, I guess. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your suggestion, what service cost should I except if I go with it, in case I don’t find any. I am getting it for Aud 17k now.

No its a bad idea buy a 4wd Not a FWD

could be anything ask Nissan or get it checked out

Go for the 4x4 st t31 you can switch between 2wd AWD & 4wd i just leave mine in AWD & let the computer work it out They are great handling on the road & off road. go for the petrol version Diesels are dearer to service but no difference in performance great suv

go for the 4x4 petrol you can drive it in 2wd if you want Diesels are dearer to service

Wow that's perfect thankyou both for you're responses. I noticed that the fuel is suggesting 9.1L/100 for petrol, but is this realistic for city driving? Just wondering how thirsty these vehicles really are.

You might need the code for the radio

Yeah you might need the security code for the radio normally happens when the battery is disconnected

Is it good idea to buy 2016 Nissan Xtrail T32 fwd with 97k on it? Is there something I should be concerned about?

could be anything from a flat battery in the remote to electrical problems with the car. change the battery in the remote if that dosent fix it Take it to an auto electrician or ask nissan

Thanks yes I was thinking electrical!,I’ve lost the battery key so it’s definitely not that!,I was hoping not electrical because I know that be quite expensive

Hi mate - I'd suggest you compare service history, km's, general condition & of course get a mechanical check. Besides my own 2018 model I've only driven my son's 2015 ST 2.5lt, which impressed me enough that I bought mine. I'd avoid the 2lt engine & go for the 2.5lt, which is far superior, but then again it depends what sort of driving you'll be doing. Here's a link to a website that tested the 2014 X-Trail, I hope it helps you. The X-Trails are the biggest selling SUV in the world & 3rd in Oz, & they have a reputation for durability & reliability. Good luck with your decision. Cheers, David

Thanks so much for that David. I've previously had a T30 Ti that did us well and so am leaning towards the T32 anyway but have heard lots of good stuff about the other two as well. Test drives and mechanical checks coming up!
