Re: 1.2 DIG-T - Oil loss

What kind of warranty did you get? If it's making that rattle, it's the "lifetime" timing chain gone kaput. And the cause of this is the incorrect fittings in one of the pistons causing oil to seep out and get burned off, diverting it from getting into and lubricating the timing chain, so...

Re: 1.2 DIG-T - Oil loss

After reading the bulletin a shed loads of QQ are affected. Not certain baches but all of them. Nissan should either replace engines on all affected cars or give indefinate warranty for engine. I can see here similarity to fords ecotech engine failure. Its my thinking here but it may be just a matt...

Gloucester, I believe you are correct wrongly stated šŸ˜« Ali, did you ever read this article from early last year, if not it might be worth a read - Dave :) https://www.theguardian.com/money/2017/jan/28/nissan-qashqai-engine-failure-mechanical-oil-problems https://www.themotorombudsman.org/consumers ...

Re: TB EM 15/05 - 1.2 Petrol DIG-T Engine Oil Loss

Slioch - I solved the problem once and for all with my car - I sold it !?!?! Dave - surely the number you've quoted includes all Qashqai engine variants, so the 1.2 proportion will be a fraction of the total you've calculated - maybe 10%? In fact before posting I thought I'd see what Autotrader is ...

Re: TB EM 15/05 - 1.2 Petrol DIG-T Engine Oil Loss

Slioch, ref the comment from Gloucester and his number, that is why I mentioned the ** within the number. Ours is then also questionable it is SJNFEAJ11U1159734 or are we misunderstanding the number system ? If this number system is consecutive then we are talking of 572965 engines, is this really ...

Re: TB EM 15/05 Regarding Engine Oil Loss

Slioch, I have read the other post with your correspondence from Nissan NCS and it really looks like you are up against a Brick Wall with what I would call a ā€œMajor Known Problemā€. Ours is a 14 Model and as yet we have had absolutely No problems with the motor or oil - Thank God we are lucky ! Many...

Re: TB EM 15/05 Regarding Engine Oil Loss

Good find; you perhaps should adjust your SUBJECT HEADING to include 1.2, DigT so more people will COMPREHEND /click on it. I have altered the heading. People need to know that Nissan are aware of the problem but still letting people buy cars with these engines i them. Below is a link to an article...

Re: TB EM 15/05 Regarding Engine Oil Loss in 1.2Dig-T

Well my number was SJNFEAJ11U1416733 and thus it falls within the affected range. Perhaps it was reprogrammed before I bought it in March 2106? Certainly I didn't see any significant drop in oil level or any other symptoms and I didn't have to put any oil in between services - though I didn't do a ...
