Re: Qashqai 2019 1.3 engine problem after thermostat replacement

The point that stands out is this comment "(Remember, it only counts as a serious safety defect if there's an issue with the vehicle design that is likely to cause injury or death, or if it happens suddenly and without warning.)" And it also suggests we can get in touch with the DVSA, so ...

Re: Clutch sudden failure

Has the pedal become detached from the linkage? Ours did this, and the mechanic said its sort of a known thing.

Presumably a local garage could do it a fair bit cheaper. I read somewhere that they replacement part is about £150, but cannot find any reference to it...

Re: Qashqai 2019 1.3 engine problem after thermostat replacement

I'm not a QQ enthusiast and rarely drop in on this forum but this topic is making me very anxious, as I own a 1.3 model that was made in 2019. Had the car since new and completed less than 25000 miles. Its always been serviced as required and is never pushed hard. I'm not the kind of driver. Decide...

Re: Rear usb installation

I found this image on the forum. It's exactly the same as what I have. I also want type c connectors not type a. I've found a port which fits flush to the rear panel but it has no wiring instructions just a red and a black cable so wouldn't know what to do with them That's my pic, and all worked ou...

If you can demonstrate a premature failure or defective design, you absolutely can. But it’s a fight.

Re: Qashqai 2019 1.3 engine problem after thermostat replacement

Got mine back yesterday, Nissan UK paid for the thermostat housing. Claim that no further damage was done since we stopped quickly after the temperature rose. Been for a good drive today (100miles at motorway speeds) and all seems fine. Not sure I will keep it and run it to the ground anymore thoug...

I think you are in the wrong thread.....
so replaceing the radio fixed it,......perhaps not wrong thread.
The Connect 4 system doesn’t support SD cards.
