Dear experts, My car is a Nissan N16 manual. At the penultimate full service (about few months back)I was informed about an engine oil leak and after an investigation it was found out that the leak was from the crankshaft seal. I got it replaced and things were fine since then. About two months back I noticed a slight drop of the engine oil level,but didn't really do anything about it since it wasn't that serious. But at the last full service (about a week ago) I was informed about another oil leak and this time the officer at the service station confirmed that the leak was again from crankshaft seal (I had run about 5000 km since the replacement of the crankshaft seal). I got it checked and even the mechanic confirmed that. What do u think about this issue?. Have you got any idea as to why the crankshaft seal needs to be replaced within a short period of time or is this normal? Rgds, Tharaka

Dear Charitha, Thanks for your quick response. I will do accordingly. Cheers, Tharaka

Dear all, I know it's been some time since I posted this problem. Your ideas were very much helpful. I replaced the battery terminals and the problem was solved. Although the old terminals seemed quite tightly fixed, when the car is moving they might have intermittently loosened a bit. Thanks for all your ideas. Cheers, Tharaka

Dear all wonderful experts in Autolanka, My car is a Nissan N-16 1.3cc manual. About two months back while I was driving out of the car park (car had been parked in hot sun for about 8 hrs) I noticed that the engine check light was on. So I stopped the car and switched off the ignition and wait few seconds and switch on the ignition again. After that engine check light went off. Things were normal after that. Then after about two months, yesterday the same thing happened. I did the same thing and the check light went off. Engine oil level is in the normal level and I wonder what's the problem is and what I should do. Please give me your ideas. Rgds, Tharaka

Dear Harshan, I really appreciate your advices and will check accordingly. When the setup power goes off and comes back on I think setup memory is not erased. I haven't check the radio stations as I don't listen the radio. I usually listen to mp3s stored in a USB flash drive. If the setup power goes off in the middle of a song, when the power comes on it starts from exactly where it stopped. So that means the setup memory hasn't got erased I guess (I'm not talking about USB flash drive memory here). As I've told you some time this doesn't occur at all. For example that didn't occur a single time today. But yesterday it occurred more than five times. Tnks.

hi, I have a Nissan sunny N16 manual Tx car. Power supply to the audio setup goes off and then come back on sometimes in following cases: 1. when the car is accelerated in 1st or the 2nd gear. 2. When the head light is switched on 3. When the signal light is switched on 4. When central locking system get activated. 5. When the breaks are applied 6. When the engine stalls. This happens more frequently when accelerated in 1st or 2nd gear in heavy traffic or when going up on a hill. some times this does not happen at all (I took the car to the garage twice and this thing did not occur) and because of that it is somewhat hard to trouble shoot. This thing continued for some time and yesterday when engine stalled I couldn't even start the car (earlier there was no problem with starting the car and it was just the audio set up power supply issue). when tried to start even the digital mileage meter went off and power to the audio system and security system was also completely off. when taken to the garage they cleaned and tightened the battery terminals. It was all ok during yesterday afternoon and today morning. even the audio set up power problem did not occur. But in the evening audio setup power failure occurred again when I accelerated in 1st gear. It occurred few times on the way home from office ( no problem with starting the car yet). I checked the battery terminal and they are just tight and fine. Please help me to fix this problem. Thnx.
