If you look at some older posts, people have been able to scan that qr code and identify which part they have but personally I can’t see the point. I’ve seen no official statement from Nissan saying the latest part is a fix for this issue, in fact they’ve been very ignorant of the issue as a whole. The updated part could be for something completely different and the only difference in the parts is an area that’s on the opposite side to the part that fails. To be as cautious as possible, I personally would consider the shelf life of both parts to be 4-5years regardless of which part they are and replace them when they get to that age. Much cheaper than a new engine.hkphooey wrote: ↑Sun Aug 25, 2024 7:03 amNuckingfuts wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 3:28 pmThere’s no proof of this, just pure assumption.
After holding both parts and comparing, I highly doubt it’s a fix. But that’s my opinion
Wow well I'm not sure what to do now....I thought this would be a solution...it's got me worried I've only had the car since Thursday purchased and delivered maybe send it back under the 14 day distance selling act
Condition of mine in picture looks OK ATM
I don't suppose there's anyway to tell what version I have just looking at it? It has a QR code sticker
I think it would be irresponsible for anyone to tell you the latest part is a permanent solution without any evidence to back it up as that would leave them open to blame if in 4-5 years these newer parts start failing.
You might be lucky and never have an issue but it’s a risk that I wouldn’t take.
Like I said, just my opinion of course

I bought a late 20 reg with 15k miles in January, it also had the latest part fitted, though I didn't discover that until it was replaced. As others have said, at the age yours is now probably worth getting it replaced. When I inspected the one I took out of mine I couldn't see any signs of splitting or damage, but evidently it's a time\wear issue and they don't give any pre indication before failing.

I’d totally agree with that, it just happens to be the current part number, doesn’t mean it’s been modified or indeed rectified.Nuckingfuts wrote: ↑Sun Aug 25, 2024 8:08 amIf you look at some older posts, people have been able to scan that qr code and identify which part they have but personally I can’t see the point.

My car is a 2020 and my housing looks like new, but if I decide to keep the car another year I’ll replace it as a matter of just fitting a brand new one which should last another four or five years without exploding.
It will be my last Qashqai though, I’m not a big fan of the latest shape ones, and I feel utterly let down by Nissan.
