Matt6392 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 i've only had my zed for a few weeks, but i cant help but notice it sounds a bit rough on the lower range rev range (between 1k-3.5k) almost as though the manifold is blowing or engine is tapping... does anybody else have this issue? it's not a loud sound, it just doesn't sound quite as healthy as i'd expect a 3.7 V6 to sound.

PS13Silvia Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Just to confirm, have you checked your oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt6392 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Yeah I've checked oil, it was recently serviced by the garage I had it from. Also there seems to be several other things I've noticed - the is a noticeable click when I put my foot down on the clutch, and when I've driven for a while and pull off slowly (more noticeable when reversing) there seems to be a knocking coming from either the engine or transmission? It reminds me of the sound of worn engine mounts. I realise there are a lot of 'unique' noises the zed's are known for but it's making me paranoid! Also the brake pads sound as though they're rubbing under braking and can be quite noisy! Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PS13Silvia Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I'm not exactly a Zed expert but: Not heard of a clonky clutch pedal before, release bearing when lifting off the clutch yes. I do sometimes get a judder when pulling off slow after a hard drive / constant high speeds, just gets hot and it does what it does I assume... Squeeky brakes very rarely, what mileage has your car done? Sure there's not a stone in the guard or something Tbh I dont think any of the above is cause for concern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt6392 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 yeah i get the release bearing noise too.. the clutch seems to function fine it just clicks when i press it down. its done just over 18k miles, the disks seem in good condition but its hard to inspect the pads with those massive calipers in the way do you recommend nissan garages or are there better specialist garages that deal with the zeds? i may put it through a service just for piece of mind once i have spare cash.
