Forced engine when turning the a/c on

Nissan March 2015  850 miles
I have a Nissan March Advance 2015 and I've noticed that, when turning the air conditioning on and changing gears with the gear shift, the engine feels quite forced between gear and gear. Sometimes, I even feel that engine asks for a higher gear itself, it jumps fast and it is reflected in the tachometer. This does not happen when the air conditioning is off. Is it normal?

Yes, it is normal. The air conditioning compressor uses power from the engine to work. That happens in all vehicles, but it might be less noticeable in cars with bigger cylinder blocks.

Thank you very much for taking your time to answer me. I was really worried about it and needed to make sure it was not a bigger problem. Thank you again!

Engine noise

Nissan March 2014  5000 miles
Hi, I know the March has got a little engine, but I've been noticing that my vehicle has an engine noise much louder than other cars. It is a noise as if the engine were saturated, nothing strange. But I feel I am constantly forcing it, but I do now know if it is like that. I do not know much about cars, so I would appreciate your help about it.

Is your noise similar to this one? Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avE8BEpBLVg Leave the engine warm up and, after driving for 15 or 20 minutes, accelerate it slowly up to 2000-2500 rpm, just like in the video.

What happens to you is normal. It is an engine with high revolutions; at 75 mph revolutions are at 4000 per minute. I bought my Nissan a month ago, and it was the first thing I noticed.

Engine noise

Nissan March 2012  60000 miles
A while ago I had a problem with my vehicle that was worrying me a lot. The engine made a strange noise and no one was able to tell me which was the failure. I wanted to share with you that, after changing the transmission, the noise disappeared and the vehicle has been working better than ever. It's been two weeks since it was replaced and I cannot believe how powerful the car is now. If you have an engine noise which was not at the moment you bought your vehicle, check this and do not believe it if anyone tells you it is an ordinary noise.

Is it manual or automatic transmission?
Sebby from United States 9 years ago
The vehicle is standard. We usually tend to think automatic cars are the ones that fail the most, but this was not the case.

Wing mirrors and temperature gauge

Nissan March 2013  15000 miles
I am really pleased with the vehicle, except for the wing mirrors. I do not know if it is only in my vehicle or it is an usual problem, but they seem to be loose because they vibrate considerably when driving. I do not like either that it does not have the traditional temperature gauge and that it has only got one warning. I think this might cause a failure in the engine because you do not know the temperature at which it is working; you are only warned once it has overheated. Everything else is perfect.

Stereo failure

Nissan March 2015  370 miles
The first week after I bought my car, I had my cell phone connected to the auxiliary input as well as to a charger, when the stereo made a strange noise; it was a kind of whistle, after which the stereo turned off and immediately started working again. This weekend, the same failure appeared, but this time with an iPod connected in the USB port. The difference was that, after the whistle, the stereo did not start working until I turned the engine off and started it again. On Sunday, I washed my car with the iPod connected in the USB port one more time. Once I finished, I removed the keys. Later, I started the engine and the stereo did not turn on. Today, the car is in the agency and I still do not know the cause of the problem.

Finally, it turned out to be that the stereo broke down; it simply stopped working. Luckily, the warranty is not expired yet and a replacement will be installed soon. However, it worries me that a new vehicle hits the market with this kind of failures.

Water leakage

Nissan March 2013  38000 miles
One day, it rained strongly for about an hour and my vehicle was parked outside. Water filtered through the doors and from under the vehicle. It was made evident that the car is not properly sealed but, apart from that, after water entered, the steering commands stopped working and the immovilizer module was left sulphated and useless. Even more, the audio system occasionally fails and blocks, and the bluetooth connection does not work at all. Another point I would like to mention is that the whole vehicle is maladjusted, producing annoying noises. But what worries me the most is that, in the… Read complete

Water also entered my car but, in my case, it filtered through the glove compartment, because the windshield wipers fluid reservoir was blocked.

Intermittent improper gear change

Nissan March 2005 Hatch back/ 1.2L/ Automatic 101965 miles
When pulling off from stand still the transmission will not shift from 1st to 2nd. The revs shoot up and car will not go more than 40kmh or so. This does not happen all the time but when it does the only way to resolve it is to pull over, stop the engine and wait till you hear a click from the dash area, I'm assuming it's the electrical resetting, then start the car and continue. Other than that the car runs well. Any insights on what this occasional fault could be? Thanks
