Hi all,

My 2011 Qashqai (J10) 2.0 petrol (passed 57K miles without any issues) started to make a whistling noise (something like electric engine noise - I will add a video later on) only when letting off the gas paddle and not while accelerating.
It's noticeable and loader from 40mp/h down to 20mp/h and only while deaccelerating - as soon as I'm pressing the gas even slightly, the noise is gone.
Changed my CVT oil and didn't help - checked all air hoses, and no issue was found.

Any idea? it can be also connected to the CVT bearing failure? any other suggestions?

Thank you

Hello Oxblood,

Interesting you say that I have been having the same issue since getting my J11b 2018 Qashqai Tekna 1.2 Turbo Petrol.

I only realised when having the windows down and could hear a whistle noise, when pressing the accelator pedal and it comes back up I hear this whistle exactly as you describe.

Of note I had a Nissan Welcome Check around March time and mentioned this issue to my Nissan dealer but they couldn't find an issue (or maybe didn't hear it on their test drives)?

Don't know if anyone has any ideas as have not experienced this type of whistle sound on other vehicles, I assumed was Turbo related but was just a wild guess as actually I don't have a clue what causing it or if it's normal sound for a Qashqai?

Oxblood did you get any further with this noise issue.

A friend of mine at work suggested likely to be a Turbo issue and worth getting checked out?

Did you get any further with reasons for your noise?
