Hey Guys, Has anyone noticed why the traction battery draws about 1.5kw of power at 70mph, tapering down to about 300w at zero pretty linearly (via leafspy)? The 300w matches what the leaf power consumption (other devices) screen shows, but at speed, the traction battery according to leafspy is...

Hey Guys, Where have you all bought the Molykote M77 that Nissan recommends for the axle clicking fix? Amazon seems to sell it in a 1 kg jar for 300 bucks, seems a bit excessive :) The nissan part number in the TSB points to seemingly the same jar too.. This is the TSB i am referring to...

Hey Guys, About a year ago while messing about with different gear oils, I started hearing a humming noise from my gearbox and was certain that my gearbox was going bad. I then got busy building a sauna and have been ignoring the cars. I kept driving the car with the humming noise and it slowly...

EDIT 2022/05/15 - After neglecting this issue for a year, i finally replaced the transmission, and the noise did not change. :? The next morning i went and got a new wheel bearing and replaced the driver side wheel bearing. all quiet now. About to write a howto for transmission replacement at...

Hey Guys, Haven't seen this here yet, but a colleague of mine pointed out these Leaf SV rim inserts: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-nissan-leaf-allow-rim-area-inserts-76399 Has anyone else tried them? The creator seems pretty savvy and did a pretty thorough coast down test even...

Hey Guys, Does anyone here know what warranty coverage the wheel bearings and transmission fall under? I am starting to hear an oscillating hum on about a 5-8 second period, so quite gradual / slow paced. The pitch increases with speed but is noticeable / hearable between ~35-55 mph the most...

Hey Guys, My 2013 heatpump, in ~40F weather, seems to turn on and off every 5-10 seconds. I can hear it click and watch the climate power gauge to verify that the pump goes off, and comes on at 250-350 watts, and then goes off, and on, continuously. Really noticeable when i am stopped without...

I tried searching, but what OEM tires does the 2018 Leaf use? I am at 46k with my 17" Michelin Energy Saver A/S and getting close to the wear bars, sometime in the spring/summer i will have to do a refresh. Wondering if there have been any new developments in tire technology that the newer Leaf...

check the play store to update it on your phones. i just did and was able to log in with my gen 1 leaf account and it recognized my car and showed me the gen1 car picture in the app even. (not sure if it always shows white but my car is white so maybe it knows)...

hey guys, just got this e-mail. It has our classic Leaf on it, i wonder if this means the shitty NissanConnect app is going to become more functional? one can only hope. the only red flag is that it might turn into subscription only, or maybe the old leaf in the picture is from the marketing...

Hey Guys, There has been some discussion, but no definitive thread on the procedure exists yet, so i took some pictures and changed my reduction gear oil. It really is a straight forward procedure almost not requiring this thread, but if you are 50/50 on doing this yourself then this should...

EDIT: Changed title from Maxima to Altima. You want to use an altima power switch from a base model that does not have auto windows on both sides (anti pinch / encoder motors). see through the thread for more info. Hey Guys, I was hoping I could post a slam dunk and say this is a 5 minute mod...

Hey Guys, Has anyone started doing research on retrofitting their earlier model Leaf SV/SL with 7" touchscreen with the new 2016+ 7" infotainment? it supports mobile apps and text messaging. thanks, Marko

just found out this morning when i noticed a flat tire and a screw that i must have picked up on the way home from work. i filled up the tire and once i hit 36 psi it honked once, and at 40 psi (or 39) it honked twice. pretty neat! didn't know the car does that. this is a 2013 SL cheers Marko

Hey Guys, I noticed this the last few times I detailed the Leaf, but within a day of driving even only local distances (30 miles no highway) the hatch gets covered in a dark dust that easily wipes off but makes the car look dirty from behind. I have not noticed this buildup on other cars...

Hey Guys, i noticed this the last couple of times i drove my Leaf, but when i start with a full charge, then even in B mode it never actually goes to B mode once a little bit of battery wears off to allow more regen. i can switch between D and B and there is no regen difference at say 40 mph...

Hey Everyone, just got finished putting these lighted mirror sun visors in the leaf as the wife and I carpool and she sometimes does her makeup in the car while we commute. This was one of the first 'luxury' omissions i noticed on this SL trim car (in addition to a few more i hope to address...

hey guys, there aren't a lot of parts to this, but i feel like i have a bad spring or wiper arm holder. I replaced the wiper blade already thinking that might have been defective, but it made no difference. Anyone have an issue like this? see picture below. cheers, Marko

Hey Guys, did a search, but there was only one topic with not much information that came up regarding this. I noticed this first when inspecting my spare tire tools as the bag that holds the wrench and tow hook was a bit wet. after removing the tools the floor under the tool area was damp, as...

hey guys, I am quite happy with the new (to me) leaf, but I expected it to be a bit quieter on the highway. My main complaint is noise from the tires probably, as I cannot hear wind noise like I can hear in my other cars. Has anyone done any testing to add insulation (like dynamat) to reduce...
