Re: Timing Chain

Just add my thoughts, which may be helpful. On the later 1,6dci engine I have, the service book says that the timing chain needs replacing at 180k miles, recently my garage took the engine out to replace the Turbo, which had failed and while it was out they replace a number of parts that included th...

Re: Diesel IDLE rattle

This is an interesting post as my 1,6dci started to develop a rattle at idle and I never really got to the bottom of the problem until in September the Turbo failed in a big way.The rattle while not loud you could hear at tickover but not at speed. This started about 2 months before the Turbo bearin...

Re: R9M chain replacement

Hi Dave, Yep, it is a difficult call and as you say I need some feedback from other members here with higher mileages. Clearly it depends on cost but I am willing to pay for piece of mind, for example we regularly drive long distances in Europe and after living in Wien our daughter has now moved to ...

R9M chain replacement

Hi Everyone. I am a delighted owner of a 2012 QQ+2 1,6dci which has now done 165K miles almost without any problems at all, actually the only issue has been a front wheel bearing that I replaced myself. However, within the year its coming up to the 180K point that the book indicates requires a camch...

16 steel wheels

This sounds great, I think I will go ahead and order just one from tyreleader and as the official ones via a Nissan dealer are £75 ea I don't think I can go wrong at £34 for just one and then if its all OK can get the tyres and the other 3 to match. What I will do is email tyre leader to make sure t...

16 steel wheels

Dave Berlin, Thank you for the detailed reply with the specification of the wheels, which seems straightforward. What I am concerned about is that on the tyre leader website they list two wheels for the QQ 1,6, one for a 1,6l and one for a 1,6 dci, which are a slightly different price but according ...

16 steel wheels

Hi again. I have had another look at the tyreleader website and they definitely offer two possible 16" steel wheels for my QQ+2, one that is for a QQ 1,6i and one that is for a 1,6 dci. Now my car is a 2012 4x4 1,6 dci QQ. I just cant understand if they are not different than why do tyreleader ...

16 steel wheels

Hi Dave Berlin and others, thank you for these great replies. I have been in touch with tyreleader, who don't do then for the +2and my tyres.co.uk do. However, my tyres. co.uk don't list the QQ+2 on the website for their steel wheels and in an email can't say if they will fit the +2. That's why I as...

16 steel wheels

I am struggling to exactly find 4 steel wheels that fit my 2012 QQ 1,6dci +2 4x4. At a sensibly price ie not through a Nissan dealer.None of my usual discount tyre suppliers will guarantee that the steel 16" wheels that fit a standard QQ, will fit my +2. Does any know if the wheel specification...
