Sure. Please find the link below. Bracket no 30 suits Nexon and it came with a fuse.
I have attached a picture of the allen screw location as well. Sorry for low quality image, but the screw should be tightened to avoid mirror vibrations.

Guys, a quick question. My budget allows me to get a petrol XMA. There are 2 features which I've always wanted in my next car which are missing in XMA.
1. Day/Night irvm. I don't want the automatic one, even the one with a manual switch will do. Will the dealer replace the regular irvm with a day/night one before I take delivery? Ofcourse I'll pay for the new mirror and whatever labour the dealer charges.

2. Steering mounted controls. This one is complicated. In the Baleno thread I saw someone mention that he installed the audio and telephony control buttons on the steering wheel. Can something like that be done to the XMA steering? Ofcourse this should not hamper the airbag functionality.

Are these things possible to be done? The xza+ is beautifully loaded but outside my budget and I don't wish to stretch for a depreciating asset. My daily drive is zero KM's. The car will see Mumbai - Nasik/Pune trips once in two months and any other vacation drives.

Thank you in advance.

Should be possible, if not by dealer you can visit the service center and get it done. My Tiago already had manual day/night mirror but I had inquired about it and they had said about possibility. (Had XM Petrol on my list and had inquired about all this and had got a positive reply, budget held me back though and went for Tiago)

I doubt since it involves wiring changes. I wanted an extra 12V charger point in my Tiago (near the hand brake where the facility is available, only extra wire had to be put with extra socket which I was ready to pay for), but they were hesitant and matter went upto GM of the dealer. He too said he needs to check if that will void the warranty. So I assume they will deny. (This is where TATA sucks, no clear yes/no and like government office you will be tossed across multiple counters to get your job done. Spent like a week with multiple promises saying they will get back to me, which never happened )

Then Petrol is the right choice for you.

Greetings of the day !!!

I'm Sanjay Mohan S, from Chennai. The car I drive is a NEXON XT-D.

I'm experiencing a weird issue in the MID. It displays some lines and curves and goes off after a few minutes. It's occasional and comes when the vehicle is started after a long time, especially in the morning or evening.

Showed the same (photo) to ASC, but they're clueless as it didn't happen in their presence.

Photo attached for your reference.

Please advise in this matter.

How old is the Nexon? If more than 2 years old and not used regularly, first thing to check is health of the battery. Anything related to electronics acting up, guess that would be the 1st suspect.

Cheers,
Vikram

Guys - I have a very naive question (especially amusing since the Nexon is now an old car in the market with little unknowns if any.

Does the Nexon touch screen head unit have a resistive touch or a capacitive touch screen? The inherent lag on the system makes it hard to be sure for me. To touch - it feels like capacitive as I don't feel any membrane moving. Nor does it work with nails when pushed like in a resistive unit.

You don't really need the dealer to be involved. Simply source the XZ+ IRVM with manual day-night from boodmo.com & install it yourself. Its a press-fit item. Replacing existing unit will take maximum 10 minutes. Assuming 9 minutes where you are anxious about using force to remove the stock IRVM . At roughly double the price of the manual OEM unit, you can get an automatic IRVM from aliexpress. I'm getting mine delivered today or tomorrow & will be installing it myself.

In theory it will be possible. But hardly any TASC will do it for you. Also, the new steering fascia, button set, wire pigtail OEM parts won't be too cheap. It will be a fairly costly affair overall. I'd suggest you give these a skip. Honestly, after first few weeks, these gimmicks don't make a big difference. The Nexon has fantastically usable hardware switches on the center dashboard. I have the steering mounted controls but I use the buttons on the dashboard all the time & not those on the steering. Little thing really. Not a deal breaker.

This is due to electrostatic charge that the pixels are acting up. Member Hemanth.anand faced the same on his Polo GT TSI and got the cluster changed under warranty.

You should push for the same too.

Culprit could be the faulty crankshaft/camshaft sensor which is unable to provide continuous position signal to ecu, resulting in engine stalling.

It would be also good to check the alternator function.
Intermittent current may cause electrical issues (irregular engine firing for example) which is why the engine fault warning lights up.

In both cases engine starts normally after some time until it fails again.

The car is June 2019 manufactured and registered on 23 Jan 2020.

Guys, I have a query to all those who completed 45K kms/36 months and got the 45K service done:
In the maintenance charts of the owner's manual, under the Diesel Engine section (page 156) it says "Replace timing drive kit (timing belt, auto tensioner and idler)". The periodicity is clearly given as 36 months or 105K kms, whichever is earlier.

Did anyone get this kit replaced? If this is mandatory, is this covered under gold AMC?
Thanks in advance.

I am giving a generic response to this query - Always replace the Timing Belt within the given period/mileage, because the implication of it failing is usually a half-engine rebuild. Err on the side of caution!

I think it might be the accessory belt that drives the alternator and the AC compressor. Might have been mistakenly printed as the timing belt. This belt typically wears out at 3-4 years or 45-60K km.

Timing belts only need to be replaced around the 1L km mark in most cars including Germans.

Thanks. I got confused because the periodicity is 105K kms and 36 months (Whichever is earlier). Probably an error in the manual.

Reverse camera in my Nexon is acting up. Suddenly started showing a black screen with steering guidelines. Restarted th car a couple of times, no change. Did a reset of the head unit. Now the camera image is upside down. Anyone faced this issue? Mine is a Nexon 2018 diesel XZA+.

What you've seen is by design. Even I've got confused over seeing this switch between fuel level and instant fuel economy.


Here's the deal:
1. When fuel level is more than 2 points, you can switch between fuel level and instant fuel economy display by pressing "mode" button.
2. When fuel level drops to 2 or below, MID will restrict to display only fuel level, to have the drivers attention to refuel



Hope this helps.

I've purchased an old stock (Mfg Jan 2019) Nexon in Jan 2020, as I've been offered a good discount on the price.


I started to notice some weird behavior with suspension, wherein the vehicle gets very bumpy and tosses the passengers while traveling at slow speeds (15 - 20 kmph), where as it irons out the same undulations very well while traveling at high speeds (50+ kmph).



Is this an expected behavior, or should we get the suspension checked?
