A worn-out gas cap is easy to repair yourself and could save you a trip to the mechanic. Fuel cap problems flip on the check-engine light 4.18% of the time, CarMD says; the cost of a new cap is unchanged.

The three new turbocharged petrol powertrains available on the Nissan Micra represent the latest in advanced engineering. They are designed to offer customers the best blend of performance and efficiency, keeping vehicle running costs to a minimum. All are highly competitive against key models in the B-hatchback segment.

Although it’s never a bad idea to make sure your turbocharger isn’t building an inordinate amount of boost pressure, a boost gauge makes the most sense in a race or competition application. However, on a street-driven truck or a tow mule, a boost gauge can also help determine why your turbo isn’t making the kind of boost it should. In performance instances, a drive pressure gauge is even more useful, as drive pressure is almost always higher than boost pressure in any given driving condition and extreme drive pressure is responsible for most turbocharger failures. Still, a boost gauge is something most diesel owners add at the same time they install their pyrometer and trans temp gauges. Likewise, on digital monitors boost is one of the first parameters diesel owners want to have on display.

Hyundai and Kia started recalling 1.7 million vehicles in 2015 – about 618,000 of which are Kias – because manufacturing debris can restrict oil flow to connecting rod bearings. That can cause bearings in 2-liter and 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines to wear and fail and also lead to fires. The repair is an expensive engine block replacement.

The HPCR system consists of a high-pressure fuel rail common to all the injectors. Fuel is supplied to the high-pressure fuel rail by a high-pressure supply pump. Depending on rpm and engine load, the pressure in the rail can exceed 30,000 to 40,000 psi. The injectors are electronically controlled, and each has its own firing mechanism or solenoid.

Standard on GLX is a trip computer, cruise control, power steering, air conditioner, halogen headlights (not projector headlights) and daytime running lights, a 6.1-inch touch screen media system with Bluetooth phone and audio streaming (two speakers for the sound system in the single cab, four in the extra cab, and between four and six in the dual cabs – no model gets a subwoofer), AM/FM radio and USB connectivity. GLX and GLX ADAS models roll on 16-inch steel wheels.
