Well I ended up getting the ute serviced at a dealer. first real service, just wanted to make sure all was good to their specifications.
It took 2.5hrs to change the oil and perform the inspections. When finished, I asked if there were any software updates performed, they said no. I questioned as to why, A brand new model, 12mths down the track and not 1 update - VERY LAZY by Nissan or very strange to say the least.
They also said that they will drop the service price down $140 because they didn't have a cabin air filter on hand to replace - seriously, no filter on hand and $140??? bloody hell.
3rdly I asked about the fuel gauge issues both on the software front and the sender front, no mention. He says that he routinely attends the nationwide meetings with Nissan and this isn't mentioned as being a problem.
He recommended in taking pictures whilst it occurs, even at the bowser to show fuel usage, and fuel remaining etc and send it to him or Nissan direct to indicate that customers are actually having real problems on this front.
Which dealer was that mate? I've got to get mine done in a few weeks.... Having the same dilemma but if they don't do any software upgrades then local mechanic it is.... Did they upgrade the sat Nav maps????
