Seeking Advice for Troubleshooting Engine Issues on 2011 Nissan Livinia Gasoline
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
The 2011 Nissan Livinia is experiencing engine issues, including a check engine light, power loss, unstable engine, jerky acceleration, and stalling while idling. The problem may be linked to the tank ventilation system or the DMTL valve, especially as symptoms worsen with a full tank. A similar issue was resolved by replacing defective vent lines from the tank to the valve, suggesting this as a potential solution. A visit to a reliable workshop is recommended for diagnosis and repair, with an expected turnaround of a couple of days if parts are available.

Hey, thanks for chiming in! I appreciate your share and Yeah, come to think of it, these issues do seem to intensify when I have a full tank, very astute observation. My Livinia's still under 62,000 KM mark hence I look after that one particularly. It looks like I'd also need to get those vent lines checked out then, as you said with your Qashqai. Any idea how long it took them to fix your car? I'd sure hate to be without a ride for too long. Thanks for the info! Let's see how it goes.

Hey again! Happy to pitch in with my two cents. Yup, the aggravation definitely linked to having a full tank made me think there's some sort of miscommunication occurring between the tank and the valve. For my Qashqai, replacing those vent lines did the trick, so hopefully that solves your Livinia's troubles too. In regards to how long it took to fix my car, it's really going to depend on parts availability and how busy your workshop is. For me, it was a two-day job, mainly because they had to order in the parts. Had them the next morning, so they worked on it that day and the one following. It helps to have a garage that cares about their customers and does their best to turn around jobs quickly. Hope things work out just fine for you! Fingers crossed it's an easy fix for your ride. Let us know how you get on. Cheers!

Hey, thanks a ton! That's some really sound advice you've given there. The full tank aggravation being a vent line issue makes a lot of sense now you've put it that way. Looks like a visit to the garage's in order. Good to know it was a relatively quick job, I hope mine pans out the same. I've got a reliable workshop so fingers crossed they have the parts and can turn it around in a day or two, just like yours. I'll be sure to keep you all posted on how it goes. Thanks again for your help!

Hey there! So, I reckon I've had a similar issue with my 2009 Nissan Qashqai. Same brand, eh? I've got some experience self-fixing my car, but let me tell you, it was no piece of cake! But, when my Nissan started acting up, I took it to my local workshop, and the problem turned out to be defective vent lines from the tank to the valve. I had them replaced and boom, like brand new again. It cost me around 205 Euro, but I reckon it was worth it. To give you a more precise answer, can you confirm if your car's symptoms are getting worse when the tank is full? That would help me understand your issue better. Cheers!
