Nissan Pulsar C13 1.6 DIG-T (190 Hp)

Nissan Pulsar:

The Nissan Pulsar is a line of automobiles produced by the Japanese automaker Nissan from 1978 until 2000, when it was replaced by the Nissan Bluebird Sylphy in the Japanese market.
Between 2000 and 2005, the name "Pulsar" has been used in Australia and New Zealand on rebadged versions of the Sylphy. This arrangement continued until the introduction of the Nissan Tiida in 2005; at this time the Pulsar name was retired. In 2013, Nissan replaced the Tiida in Australia and New Zealand with two new models badged as Pulsar. These were based on the Sylphy sedan and Tiida hatchback, the latter also sold in Thailand under the Pulsar name. In 2014, a European-only replacement for the Tiida was introduced using the Pulsar nameplate....(Read more on Wikipedia)

C13 Overview:

Nissan Pulsar (C13). With 240 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~7.7 l/100km). With a weight of 1329 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is good (0–100 km/h in 7.7 s). The top speed reaches 217 km/h. A compact car with a rear door that swings upward to provide access to the cargo area. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.

I've owned a Nissan Pulsar 2015 SSS Digturbo Hatchback for the past 2 years and it has 60,000 kms on the clock and works a charm. Never had any issues.

Use your 30-day short-term right to reject in writing and stop debating the fault. Email the dealer: “I’m exercising my short-term right to reject under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Nissan Pulsar \[reg\], bought \[date\], broke down on \[date\]. RAC report attached showing injector fault. Please collect the car and refund in full within 14 days.” Do not authorize repairs; within 30 days you don’t have to accept one. Ask them for their diagnostic printouts: stored and pending codes, freeze-frame data (mileage/time when set), injector balance/return-flow test results. If they claim no fault found, book an independent same-day inspection with RAC/AA or a diesel specialist for a leak-off test and full code read; keep everything. If you paid any amount by credit card, start a Section 75 claim or chargeback. If on finance, reject to the lender as they’re jointly liable. Escalate to Citizens Advice (for Trading Standards) and The Motor Ombudsman for ADR. I’ve used RAC/AA for evidence and The Motor Ombudsman for ADR; in other markets I’ve seen firms like Easy Lemon handle manufacturer fights end-to-end, but your next step is the written rejection. Put the rejection in writing now and push the refund.
