First of all, this is NOT according to manufacturers recommendations. Manufacturer strongly prohibits towing with driving axle on the road! The reason for that, is that most EV-s have Permanent Magnet motors. If vehicle has depleted HV battery (ready mode does not engage) or has a problem that...

Now is my turn to cry :cry: C118C and C1A6E and C1A70 - general error due to ABS not working? And P3180 000B HV Battery System EVC-249 P31E1 000B HV System Interlock Error EVC-305 P0A0D 004E HV BATTERY HV Sys Interlock Err EVB-70 Car was resting under hot sun for 8 hours, started and was...

There is a AC pressure sensor on gen1 Leafs that have heat pump. This sensor has a different plug compared to those that don't have heat pump capability. This sensor is sold as a assembly with AC-pipe. No Nissan part number. All numbers are metric. Thread is also metric (M10x1 AFAIK). I believe...

Firstly, It's not the battery. One of my remote batteries was dying. It stopped working really fast (too fast, a day or two). Replaced the battery (2.78V) with a new one, 3.2V. Now buttons are working fine but key can't be detected. I have to click the remote to open the doors and push the...

I recommend my own easy to follow instructions for vehicle long-term-storage (3+ months). There are many steps missing that apply to vehicles with combustion engine. Most of these steps apply to all EV-s but are specifically written for Leafs. 0) Wash the car thoroughly. Be sure to remove salts...

In addition to everything else that is known, like: No regen Slightly faster battery degradation There is one more thing that is often overlooked. Overall efficiency. I have 2014 Leaf with 134Mm or 83k miles, lost 9% of capacity during these years. I have always charged to 80% (except before...

Last year I ran out of front brake pads. I payed excessively for the dealer to replace them. Front OEM front pads cost 4-6x more than normal price for pads made by other pad manufacturers. Now I'm running out of rear pads. Dealer asked 3-4x more than replacement pads. I'm tired of those prices...

I want to collect some information about rear middle headrest reliability. Whoever reads this and has/had problems with Nissan Leaf rear middle headrest (not all markets have that) or knows anybody who does have, please share. Problem is that middle headrest comes loose from the frame. I mean...

Guy's, I have awesome way to calculate Heat Pump efficiency. I was thinking about that a lot and I found a solution that will work in the less efficient temperature zone (at temperatures between 0C and -15C, 32F and 5F) Without any modifications to Leaf! I'll just write down the basics right...

So I went for a drive today. 95.7km there and 95,7km back (59,5 miles), no elevation. (Google Maps data 92km, doesn't apply for calculations) Started with 95%, 19.9kWh. Battery at 9,5C 9,5C, 6,9C. Ended with average 16,5kWh/100km, 1.6kWh left, battery at 16,2C 16,0C, 12,8C. Average heat gained...

I found out that one number I overlooked for two years actually is correct. My 2014 Leaf does have REAL RANGE ESTIMATOR. I thought that it was something else as manual said that but actually it is never off more than 5% if you drive as you did before. If you press the blue triangle button on...

Please educate me. I'm from EU so I can't try it out myself :lol: First of all, is it 110V or 120V? It appears that it should be 120V. So why some call it 110V, voltage drop? What is the real voltage people get while charging. Second question: how much it is possible to get from that...

I'm going to ask readers: what the frack is going on with my Leaf? If nobody guess correctly I'll share another picture :P https://goo.gl/photos/JV2ia2wGvk9Z8rQH9 No joke, Leaf really must be there for something. But what?

In a few months some regions will have frozen cars in the morning - including LEAF :D I want to share a tip for everybody who use their Leaf in those climate conditions. If you turn your Leaf off and during short period of time push&hold wiper stalk upwards wipers will raise in "change wiper...

Just noticed that my 2014 UK Leaf requires first coolant flush at 90 000km/3 years (56 000mi). Googled for maintenance papers and found that 2012 US Leafs do it much much later: The recommended service interval of the factory-fill coolant is 125,000 miles (200,000 km) or 15 years, whichever...

Did you know that if you press recirculation button, air will be recirculated 100%. If you press again, air will be 0% recirculated, but default AUTO mode or holding recirculation button until it blinks twice (AUTO recirculation) usually has 20-30% air recirculation. I read that in technical...

First of all I should mention that I just came up with the idea. Second: this is dangerous if children are in the car. Third: this will not void the warranty. Straight to the idea. I came up with that in another topic: Which factors have the biggest impact on battery life? I believe that...
