Hi,
I have a problem with my engine and need some advice if possible. It's a J10, 2011 Qashqai Ntec+ Diesel.

I was driving down the motorway when suddenly the engine warning light, and abs light came on. The car started losing speed - it actually seemed to be losing revs rather than speed - it dropped to 50mph @ around 2500rpm but if I lowered the gears, the revs stayed the same but the speed dropped further.

I checked the Speed Limter / Cruise Control in case it was 'stuck' - It wouldn;t allow me to set/cancel it though.

I limped home and opened the bonnet - there was what looks like oil splashed about on top of the engine and a pipe seems to have split open along a seam - I'm guessing this is the source of my problem.

Anyway - if this is the issue, it looks like a simple fix to me - a new pipe section, which is connected by a split pin on one end and a jubilee clip the other. I guess if it's oil that's been lost, I'll need to top this up too.

Can anyone help me identify the part that's broken - If I can buy a new one, I'm confident I can replace it in a few minutes.


Also, does anyone else have experience of this fault?

You can see in one of the images, I have placed a screwdriver in the gap that has appeared, where the pipe has split.
