Hi Guys,

This might seem like a strange question, but does a 65 plate 1.6DCI Tekna auto have a turbo?

Had my first look under the bonnet today and couldn't see one (not that I am in any way mechanically/technically minded).

Hi I’m new . 🙂 I’ve been working on a 1.5 10 plate turbo ( absolute nightmare when you aren’t a professional) Yours will have one. If they haven’t changed it since the 10 plate this is where to find it.
When you open the bonnet and locate the air filter box ( top right) there is a large black hose attached and runs down the back of the engine (right down) if you follow it it’s attached to the turbo 🙂.
But PLEASE service it regularly oil filter, air filter, fuel filter. The absolute chaos it will cause to the turbo if you don’t, my partner ran hers on low oil…. Never had a service and short trips = turbo failure. I’ve never changed a turbo and don’t envy those mechanics who work on Qashqai’s!
Hope you find it and treat it good!
