To answer Arnis questions: When charger is getting hot the charging time is the same as usual, and current into the car is same as usual. A few hours ago, I have erased all error codes. Connected the car on 220V charge and both pumps are now running and charger doesn't get even warm. I started...

Only passenger side pump is on when I plug in. When I turn on the contact both pumps are on. When I drained the coolant at the rear of the car, bellow the charger, only the tank for passenger pump got emptied. other one staid filled to the top through whole process (yes they share overflow tank...

Hi, I am aware of another thread called "Burning smell after charging", I am starting a new thread as I concluded that my issue is not the charger. Leaf 2011, sold on 07/2011. From the part number of the charger it is the first half of 2011 model. It was sitting in rental agency and I purchased...

I just smelled this burning smell today, it was so strong after short charge (2h) even all windows were open an inch. Couldn't cit in the car till it vented out. Charged it again a few hours later. Again burning smell but not that strong. I stinks the strongest at driver seat and at...

I just removed the blower motor and cleaned the housing. In my case, there were no rodent artifacts, but small pointy leafs from trees here in San Diego. Leaf produced 07/2011. Didn't have to remove computer, it was against the front firewall. Had to pull the harness that was in a way and had a...

I found that spraying diluted Pinesol around the air intake helps. But you need to spray it every few days. Also, a piece of Irish soap would do, It smells bad, but if you get it so it "fragrance" doesn't get inside, you are OK. In general, pieces of steel wool here and there would deter the...

Not sure if someone mentioned it: portable seat-heater mat. So, instead of running heat in the car, you put a jacket on, and plug in the seat heater in 12V outlet. Saves me 5-10 miles of energy in the winter. Other things that help me is pre-heating the car while still on the charger, and timing...

First, everybody thanks for your comments. From one of the suggestions, to charge during the day, another question came to my mind: Is it better to drive from let's say 80-90% charge down to 1 or 2 bars, or to stay in mid-range 40-80% and do a mid-day charge. Higher charge and lower discharge...

I purchased Leaf because I needed all it advantages advantages and a low maintenance car. My daily commute total (4 trips-works/kids' school) 60-64miles. Well, trying to figure out my Leaf , will I get there or will need to push it, I often felt like on that ridiculous quiz show (one game...

OK, I filled my kids' balloons with helium before writing the post :-) I have nitrogen in the tires. 40PSI. As for 30% thread, what does it have to do with sidewall strength and speed? :?: I thought that rubber cracks and aging, sun exposure, plus beatings like potholes and curbs can weaken...

The route that I drive every day, for last 5 years, doesn't have any bumps or potholes. Any, yes I always try to avoid manholes and reflective lane markers (the high ones). I try to be gentle to this car, to last as long as possible. But if i have to hurry, I drive it fast, as long as it is...

Hi, This morning, when I was taking kids to school one of my Ecopia Ep422 exploded. I was in the car pool, doing 80. There was bank, tire pressure light came on, and plop-plop-plop sound and slowing down. I was surprised, that I didn't have any loss of control, I gently braked and stopped. By...

Well, JFYI, in my case I mentioned this to service guy during my next visit (after I started noticing this sound), and they did something to breaks, cleaning and also something wasn't adjusted right (I've been told with those exact words). Plus, they replaced brake pads (under warranty) - this...
