I think that maybe an extended warranty could help, but because this housing is a plastic part ... ??? As others here have claimed to have done already ... get rid of the car ... in time ! I am going to demand some assurance on paper that when if I pay for an extended warranty it would also fully co...

I agree, but the only way to avoid the sensor overload is to buy a cheap Dacia or similar. Personally I love a lot of gizmos, but that means getting rid of that kind of car every 5 or so years at the latest. Sensors most likely will mean trouble, sooner or later, no doubt. My Mazdas and Toyotas neve...

@trout. That does not seem to be the exact same problem as with the 2017-2021 Qashqai at all !
AFAIK it does not mention blowing up a Mercedes A class engine like the Nissan issue.
I don't think that thermostate housing is similar (?)

External : minor changes ... it seems
Internal - infotainment system ... icons/ dial colors have changed !?
I do hope that is not all there is to this !?

I still have no further information on the new j12b, only that I will be notified by the dealership as soon as they have this piece of information. I migh be looking to upgrade to the J12b e-power version if Google Automotive is being used (like Renault is doing with their latest SUV offerings). Fin...

"Also I looked on the Mercedes A class forum, as it’s supposed to be the exact same engine in both vehicles. All they mention on there is fitting an aluminum plate against it to strengthen it, takes minutes and does away with the problem, very strange?" Thank you for this bit of informatio...

Pandjh do you happen to know if that latest part number N110600260R was installed in all J12 QQ models, or other ?
Thank you.

The answer Auto Express most probably has prepared for each and every such claim. The only way to protect against catastropic engine failure seem to be to go for the extended warranty in case of a new car, but question to buy any second hand car QQ with a 1.2 (loss of oil) or 1.3 DIG-T engine (therm...

Sorry bryfly48, the link should end with the word... thermostate. The link seems cut when I posted it!

@bryfly48. That's a good idea. You might also link to the UK Facebook forum sub threat where the exact same thermostate housing failre issue is discussed. To me it seems valid and quite wide spread : Summary of the many FB posts I read at : https://www.facebook.com/groups/4295033 ... hermostate This...
