There has been much written about losing the 4th capacity bar on the LEAF before the warranty period runs out in order to get a new ("fixed") pack. With 9 bars still left, I am beyond the warranty (100,000 km or 5 years in Canada) as I'm at 141,000 km at 4.5 years. However, the glide path...

The first time I spoke with the parts guy I just supplied the Battery Assembly P/N (295B0-3NF9E) which he couldn't seem to find on their system. I then sent several emails to the parts manager (a fairly useful chap otherwise) with the 3NF9E number. No luck/response. I've seen him a few times...

I've been repeatedly trying for several months now to get some information from my local Nissan dealer and from Nissan Canada on the availability of a replacement traction battery pack for my MY11 Leaf. I've been doing this since the news of the $5500 pack was announced in the US. I've not been...

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I read the quote above about teenage offspring. The following is what happened to my MY 2011 LEAF. My 18 year old son, a usually responsible and careful driver did the following: The car was outside the garage facing the garage door and plugged in...

After I got the nozzles replaced and got the adjuster tool, I played around, and found if the stream was set too high, it hits the trailing edge of the hood and the spray becomes unfocused and the remaining water that does make it beyond the edge of the hood hits the windshield very low. (It's...

I thought of that as well, however the hood sheetmetal is directly under the plastic apron that covers the rear edge of the hood. If you were to grind away the plastic you would still have the metal to contend with. I placed some cardboard shims between the plastic and the hood metal to pry up...

According to the service record for that visit, the part number they installed (the adjustable nozzles) is B8930-JM01A. I don't know if that is for one or a pair. Good Luck, Renny

I'll try to get that part number for the adjustable LEAF nozzle by the end of the week.

Yes. I had the car for a year (driven nearly every day for 20k miles) and the interior was pristine. (BTW, all the LEAF interiors to this point are the same light tan colour.) It was only after I started using the coat every day during the winter for two months when my son noticed it from the...

FYI, I've stopped using my black Milwaulkee heated jacket. The black rubs off on the seats, center console armrest and door armrests. They are now visibly darker or stained. I haven't tried cleaning them yet (I figure I need a good upolstery cleaner) -- I really hope the black dye comes out...

I've learned something new. My Nissan dealer's parts manager (one of the good guys there) looked into this and subsequently ordered two sets of nozzles. The first set was the original part number for the non-adjustable nozzles, and the second set was a 'new' or updated part number for an...

I called customer support about this issue of not getting emails when charging begins. I successfully get emals when charging stops, but even though the checkbox is checked in my profile for charging started notifications, I don't get those. As stated earlier in the thread, most of us don't care...

I use only END-time charging timers also. I'm in the Eastern Time Zone, and have checked all the clocks. I have a 2011 SL (higher model) with the QC option (which for the Canadian model is identical to the 2012 US model -- everything heated, cold weather package, etc. I had exactly the same...

baumgrenze, how did you get underneath the nozzle to pinch the tangs? It's totally enclosed from below, and appears to require some major disassembly to get at them.

Yes, I am more than annoyed. Anyone who lives in a cold snowy area understands that the windshield can get covered with spray and salt from the wake of other cars (as we're driving in the slow lane barely at the limit with cars whizzing by... :( ) and this can dry very quickly. At highway speeds...
