New Qashqai Service Interval?

Hi
Does anyone know what the official service interval is for the new J12 Qashqai MHEV? The handbooks talk about the intervals being tailored to the type of use I can't find any figures.

Re: How to drive downhill?

Using the transmission was necessary to assist the brakes on cars in the past to avoid them overheating and fading. Modern cars braking systems are not only capable of stopping or slowing the car under all circumstances but are by far the safer option. All those clever ABS and other intelligent safe...

Re: Expected delivery and subsequent delays

I feel very lucky! I ordered a Tekna+ Auto 2WD on 14th August. Then I was told delivery would be mid December, a week later I was told March, then to my surprise a couple of weeks ago told Nov 30th. I have now had the car for three days and am very pleased with it.

Re: DaveBerlin

So sorry to hear about Dave, my thoughts are with his family. Over the last couple of years since I bought my first Qashqai and joined this forum I have always enjoyed reading Dave's contributions and on a couple of occasions had direct discussions with him. I always found him to be an extremely val...

Great news you'll get it sooner. I was told the same on my Tekna march but also a Dec date hopefully to now :D

You're right! Originally told Dec, then March, then this morning told Nov 26th! Fingers crossed

What a great car!

Just had the two year service on my teckna+ at 21500 miles. Nothing found wrong and all tyres still have around 5mm tread depth. I've been driving for 53 years and this car shines out as being the best I've had so far! I find the 1.3 160 engine has just the right performance and economy balance and ...

Re: CHIP Related Problems

Thanks Dave for some interesting reading. I think the modern world with its Just-In-Time and minimum stretched labour forces cannot react to sudden demands, everything is built for steady running. This pandemic has put a finely balanced worldwide machine out of balance in such a way that the repercu...

Re: Expected delivery and subsequent delays

I ordered a Qashqai Teckna+ DIG-T 158 in September and was told delivery would be early December. I've just had a phone call this morning to say that it is now likely to be March 22 :(

Re: Tekna

I have a 69 teckna+ and it has led lights. I use auto dip which I find works really well, only problem is to remember the set the stalk back to dipped when finished, otherwise next time headlights used they are on main beam which is not good at daytime! Unless you keep it on Auto all the time? This...
