Yes I was surprised this has happened at such a low mileage. Yes its 125 on cylinder 4. They haven't said which conrod is bent, they just said they suspect its conrod failure as they haven't stripped the engine. No when I pulled the vehicle over there was no smoke just a loud banging noise. Someone ...

The mileage is approx 39,000 and it has full service history. Yes it is the original engine. Yes the Nissan garage have said the engine would only be stripped down at Nissan HQ after the engine has been replaced. So I dont know how it is possible to even determine the swarf origin. I just think that...

Your right it is down to the seller to prove it wasn't faulty. This is only in the first 6 months since purchase. So as the engine failed just over 12 months after purchase it is down to me to prove it was faulty. Even though it was showing signs of this fault just 4 months after purchase, as the E...

Thank you for the links to the other posts.
I'll let you know what they come back with.

Hi everyone, I too have a 65 plate Nissan Qashqai 1.2 which has suffered from engine failure. My VIN also falls within the TB. I have been trying to get the car repaired since december, however as I bought the car from Arnold Clark, Nissan are refusing to repair it as it has no warranty with them. ...

Yes excessive oil consumption can cause engine parts to wear excessively and swarf can then be left in the oil. What we found was the early engine had a poorly manufactured piston ring set (and some were fitted incorrectly at factory rumours have it) and would allow oil pass and get burnt also ther...
