Re: Issue with p16bc-13

The garage sent me a video and explanation. Unfortunately the link has expired so I can't share it. They explained that there was corrosion around the terminals to the thermostat but maybe they meant the sensor. If I recall correctly It was located down low at the front of the engine bay. Sorry can'...

Re: Front wipers not working

I had a 2012 Qashqai and about 18 months ago the wipers packed up in the middle of a thunderstorm. Stopped and rebooted the engine and miraculously they came back to life. Then a day or so later died again. A search on the internet suggested a few possibilities. Wiper motor dead, wiper motor fuse bl...

Re: Windscreen wipers not working

I had this issue last year with my J10. Apart from fuse and relay problems one common issue seems to be with the linkages between the wiper arms seizing up. You can by new sets of linkages but sometimes you can just get some replacment clips and bearings. In my case it was the original wiper moter -...

Re: Issue with p16bc-13

Not sure if you've resolved this but I got this error on Monday. Dealer identified the problem as corroded terminals on the thermostat. Changed that and refilled the coolant and so far so good. Dealer obviously cleared error code

Re: Warning light

This is part of the Intelligent Emergency Breaking system, sometimes refered to as the Forward Emergency Breaking system. It uses the Front Camera and Radar Unit to detect if you're coming up too fast to a car in front. If it thinks so it will flash the Yellow Warning. If you take no action it will ...

Sorry I never got an answer. In the end I just replaced all the glow plugs and the problem went away.

Re: Nissan qashqai tekna 1.5

This is always a tricky one to answer because there are so many variables that may well differ from case to case. Driving style; type of roads; weather to name just a few. However, I have an Acenta 1.5dci 2018 manual. Over the last couple of weeks I have driven on country roads. Some single track an...

TPMS valve replacment

I hope I haven't posted this question before but if I did I can't find the answer ;) I've just got my first Qashqai, J11, which has TPMS. Usually when I replace a tyre the valve gets replaced as well. With a TPMS system do I keep the same valves or get new ones? And if new ones do they have to be Ni...

Re: Battery life when not in use.

I'm sure the people at the airport parking lot would like me to have a long lead running from my car to their rooftop :-) :-)
