I am personally a little miffed about one guy who came in with an 03 with a broken seat switch, and failed power window motors. I took his door apart and got his motors to work temporarily and removed the seat switch and made it all work again at least to move the seat back enough to where it would be used for a short while. He returned the favor for my free help by bombing service on the survey. This one negative survey cost me an award that I have spent the last year working on, I had made it several months with perfect CSI and was rated one of the highest techs in the region for the quarter and now I have to start all over again.

Sorry about the mini rant, it still stings.

I hear ya

We have the same survey crap here.They moved the helpdesk to India so people with problems are so angry with the helpdesk (they work cheap and can hardly speak english) that when they receive a survey it is all negative. They don't realize that it goes to the manager of the last person who actually resolved their issue.Well I ranted and complained to HR that false information being placed in an employees record when intended for someone else was not only illegal and falsification of records, but was also a violation of the company code of conduct.They finally did quietly make a change in the wording of the surveys after my rant.Challenge them in writing and make sure it goes into employee comments after your manager gives you a review.

Started it up this AM and sounded aweful!! HUGE TICK/KNOCK coming from the engine bay. Immediately shut off the engine and after 30 minutes or so checked the oil. Was down 1/4 qrt. Added 1/4 qrt and started it again to that HUGE TICK/KNOCK sound. It slowly quieted down to a moderate knock.Drove it up to the Infiniti dealer and by the time I got there, we could not hear it. Left it there for them to check out.

Not sure if you are a Howard Stern fan but Sal made a call to a repair shop regarding a problem with an engine sounding like yours. After the engine cranks he inserts sounds of someone farting and s#iting into a toilet and it is the funniest call I ever heard.

This is an extremely rare problem---my little Nissans original timing chain and tensioners are still working great after 250,000 miles.

SVT, I am glad it got fixed.

Telco here it is for you.

Wow this thread has gone awry somewhere here, lol. I have wanted to get mine junk tied for a while, I have no plans for children and I would like to remove it as an option.

Glad to see the noise is gone.
