25-08-2019:
Stalling issue of a new Nissan Micra DIG-T 117 (19-8-2019) was resolved by Nissan. There are 3 pipes that supply air to engine. Each of these 3 pipes has a one-way valve. Unfortunately, a batch of these pipes we made by the supplier with one of the one-way valves facing the wrong way. This caused oxygen starvation when the engine was idling. Removing and re-seating the one-way valve the correct way around has solved the problem. Nissan has just issued a technical bulletin to dealers about this. The following link shows a photo of the engine and the offending pipes (But was 'down' when we tried to link): https://mega.nz/#!2MR1kKBB!UyQfUMiT1onqI_d_hUwRz9oYIz0mvR4xJokP4mFZCKw .
