I've been getting a vibrating buzz sound in the cockpit for while on my QQ, to me sounds like it's coming from behind the dash on the drivers sude, but when someone is in the passenger seat they hear it around the gear stuck area! It only occurs around 1200-2000 rpm, on lower gears, e.g. When launc...

Hi, I tried recording it, but it didn't come out loud enough. I had my QQ booked in for a rattle somewhere in the cockpitt (separate post), whilst it was in I got them to listen to the noise I was hearing from the engine. The engineer reckioned he had heard most noisies on the QQ engines, but when h...

Hi,
I have a noise coming from the engine but when lifting off the throttle, sounds a bit like a back fire or a turbo cut!
Is this sound normal or an issue?

Thanks Chris, I'll have a play, though I'm sure mine has come on fairly regularly recently even though its been cold in the morning & the cabin temp has not got near to what I have it set to. You have forgotten one other variable - its a Nissan system with a mind of its own!! I had an of thing h...

Dave, Took the car in yesterday, double checked they were only investigating & not regasing & I mentioned I'd heard there was a known issue with the condenser. The chap confirmed this. I then spoke with the service manager, he also agreed & said there had been a lot of these last year, s...

Thanks Dave for the heads up, I've read through one long thread & get the picture - am I right, basically Nissan are aware there is an "issue" with the air con systems are have told dealers to replace the condensers if a customer reports such an issue? I will take that line with Bristo...

Hi Splank, That doesn't sound good, could be the service mechanic failed to tighten up the sump plug correctly. For mine, its now been nearly 5 months since the short engine rebuild, I've covered about 2300 miles. When I had done 1000 miles I checked the dipstick & found the oil level was alread...

Just found this article in The Guardian about the 1.2 Turbo engine problems, it even mentions & includes a link to the Forum: https://www.theguardian.com/money/2017/jan/28/nissan-qashqai-engine-failure-mechanical-oil-problems it also gives some advise on our rights. You never know, It might just...
