That message is not shown in diagnostics. However, there are large lists of checks to perform under the heading of ENGINE CONTROLS SYSTEM SYMPTOMS and the specific symptom shown as HARD/NO START/RESTART not including an under charged Battery. And is engine type dependent. The list of checks range f...

Hi All, So today I thought I would tackle the annoying Stop / Start system fault that flashes constantly. I read on Torque Pro that the glow plug on bank A had a fault so I got the multimeter out, found the bad plug, replaced it, cleared faults of voila! No more flashing error. I then came to a stop...

Hi All, Going to tackle a few problems on the qashqai tomorrow. I noticed that the clutch pulley doesn't engage when the AC button is pressed. I couldn't find a replacement clutch pulley, they seem to be universal to some degree but I didn't find a match for a Qashqai 1.6 dci or R9M so if anybody is...

wait until you got all the parts and do it all in one go. you`ll have been driveing around with the belt like that for ages so a few more days won`t hurt. stuff like that is not on mot check so thats why it`s not listed Thanks Andy, I was thinking that on my short journey today, I'm constantly expe...

It is a bit of a hard one. It is like the question how long is a piece of string. It all depends on loading conditions etc. No one can predict exactly when a belt would fail. I t could last you one more hour of use or even 1 year. A bit of a lottery, I would say Hi mate, the answer I'm actually loo...

Hi All, Had a.mooch under the qashqai yesterday as I have a few things to sort and was absolutely shocked at the auxiliary belt, it literally looks like it's hanging on for dear life. I've had it fully serviced and MOT'd only a few months ago and nothing was picked up! Using the R9M repair manual, i...

That's good to know...car is in for it's MOT and service at the end of this month so hopefully the garage can do something. ... One things for sure...the error codes (DTCs) that may have existed prior to Batt change or perhaps those created by a Batt change have to be cleared at Batt installation. ...

Thanks for that...it was Halfords who came out and changed the battery on the drive so will have to contact them. I'm guessing you probably need some kit and can't do it yourself. Interesting, I can't remember if it was this forum or the BMW forum I'm on but some chap had the exact same issue with ...

They didn't code the battery, I mentioned it to the fitter and he said that once I've driven a few times it should automatically update...the faults haven't cleared. Doesn't sound normal to me mate, the whole point of registering a battery is so we tell the car it has a new battery and that adjusts...

Hi Peeps, After an MOT and Service an oil leak was picked up and it appears to be seeping from the sump and somewhere in the upper region of the front cover. The sump appears to be straight forward but the front cover looks like it's going to be a nightmare! So this is what the front cover and sump ...
