its not a dealer only repair and their are no locking pins for this engine it is a pretty standard timing chain replacement. Now the R9M engine that is a different kettle of fish that requires special tools. What I mean is a lot of garages don't want to deal with the aftermarket warranty companies ...

Yeah, the warranty won't touch it - it's not a "sudden and unexpected" problem. Seems like it's a dealer-only repair due to the tools. £1,800 to repair a lemon...

Thanks, I've reached out to a few locals - some have come back saying they can't do it though. I'm not sure if the parts are not readily available outside Nissan, or if the repair is just to intensive for many independent garages...

Checking in after a while. I have a 64 plate 1.2, currently at 64k miles. I had the software update back in 2016, and while the car does use oil, it was not something that needed more than a litre or so between services. Recently I have noticed a rattle and 'rasp' from the engine. Nissan has said th...

To be honest, its not just Admiral who do this - its every insurance company except Co - Op, who are so expensive to begin with its neither here or there, and I think also that company that only insures you if you're over 50. The problem I have with Admiral is that in a no-fault claim they will try ...

First of all its not an error. I've had it happen a few times and so have others here - full beams are o...

Yeah, this often happens this time of year. Because the sun is so low in the sky, the contrast between the bright sky and dark ground / long shadows can fox the system. For the sat nav / map, just poke the day / night button adjacent to setup to fix it. Job done. For the lights, to be honest, you sh...

I have a petrol qashqai 1.6 but when i drive over 30mph i get a very loud noise in car sounding like the exhast has burst this has been checked and is in good condition. Car runs perfect apart from this very loud annoying noise what can it be? Is the noise aliased to engine RPM or speed? Could be s...

Intersting to know the engine is manufactured in Japan, I wonder why it is different to the actual Renault one used in the Kadjar as their 1.2T is rated at 130bhp, in relation to the 115bhp of the QQ Not sure about the gearbox or its gearing on the Renault, but assuming the engine is identical, whi...

Hi all, I have had oil problems with my 2014 Qashqai 1.2DIG-T Acenta since Christmas when I checked it and found there was no oil on dipstick. Been backwards and forwards to dealer who have been monitoring the problem and got confirmation today that they are going to change the engine. Told there i...
