Re: Qashqai 1.5DCI DCT engine failure

Update, still got air lock in water system told not to worry??? As plenty of fluid in reservoir, still vibration in steering even when stationery, dealer says they will re check alignment etc, booked in for 20th to sort all out, we will see.

Re: Qashqai 1.5DCI DCT engine failure

Yes that's what I thought, it appears according to consumer law they get a chance to rectify the rectification.
Then I can push for compensation for loss of use etc.
I just can't believe what is happening to me.
Still awaiting responses from dealer and Nissan.

Re: Qashqai 1.5DCI DCT engine failure

I agree with what you say. I had to wait for 3 weeks to book the car in with the dealer at a time that suited them. Also had to ring them first week for progress report even though they said should know in 3 days what the problem is and would keep me informed, they never rang back. Then I called in ...
