    Anyone know how Nissan actually tests a pack for warranty?

    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...

    New/Replacement Battery Availability in Canada?

    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...

    New/Replacement Battery Availability in Canada?

    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...

    Car Can Be Unintentionally Put in Neutral While Plugged In

    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...

    Weak/low drivers side windshield washer squirts

    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...

    Weak/low drivers side windshield washer squirts

    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...

    Weak/low drivers side windshield washer squirts

    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.

    Heated Jacket

    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...

    Heated Jacket

    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...

    Weak/low drivers side windshield washer squirts

    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...

    CARWINGS charging email

    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...

    Poll: How accurate is your END-only charging timer?

    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...

    Weak/low drivers side windshield washer squirts

    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.

    Weak/low drivers side windshield washer squirts

    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...

    Heated Jacket

    Got the Milwaulkee heated jacket the other day and it seems to work well. It makes a nice car jacket. With gloves, my upper half at least is toasty. We'll see what it's like when the temp dips to 5 degrees F or below. I got the Large which fits me fairly snugly, but with the fleece lining (i.e...

    Remote Climate Timer - am I going crazy?

    You're probably right. Thanks for the soothing thoughts. :D

    iPhone/Portable Player Owners' easy tip for better audio

    Well, specs are probably not too useful in this case. I would guess that what comes out of the iPhone and any distortions introduced by Bluetooth are probably minor compared to the craziness inside a car's cabin. I've you've ever seen a frequency response curve for any speaker you know that...

    Poll: How accurate is your END-only charging timer?

    There have been suggestions that the car's timers or other heuristics have been set for the 200V used in Japan. Now that I've turned off the climate control timers I've observed the charging end time is much closer to the End Time set in the charge timer. I can further state that, while using...

    Remote Climate Timer - am I going crazy?

    I saw this today when I turned on CC remotely and left it on longer than I planned before I left work. The outside temp was also warmer than I anticipated. The charge timer was set for 80% charge, but when I got to the car I had 11 bars. DoxyLover, your post is comforting in that the battery...
