Re: Who hates their Qashqai? Feel free to elaborate

Hi Jamie307, Thanks for your response - I suppose I shouldn't really comment on Kia's after-sales service, as I've never owned one of their vehicles or spoken to them about a suspect component. As you are aware, however, I am Nissan QQ owner and now have first-hand experience of dealing with custome...

Re: Who hates their Qashqai? Feel free to elaborate

Owner of QQ 1.3 N-Connecta 2019 . ( now outside warranty ) Car is attractive and practical. Its's responsive and offers good fuel economy when in 6th gear on the motorway. Bit too many gadgets for me but perhaps I'm getting old. Anyway, due to the plastic thermostat housing issue highlighted on this...

Re: Qashqai 2019 1.3 engine problem after thermostat replacement

As previously mentioned, I own a 2019 QQ with below average mileage and full service history. Carefully driven and looked after. Not had the thermostat failure but fear it could happen at any time - it makes me feel uneasy when driving it. I have now paid for breakdown cover but I'm reluctant to spe...

Re: Qashqai 2019 1.3 engine problem after thermostat replacement

Cost of the replacement part is £170.75, including VAT.

This just isn't right to me - it's plastic and has been changed to rectify a flaw/design fault.

I can accept that things fail and wear out but this is deeply worrying, especially when owners talk of wrecked engine units.

Re: Qashqai 2019 1.3 engine problem after thermostat replacement

I'm not a QQ enthusiast and rarely drop in on this forum but this topic is making me very anxious, as I own a 1.3 model that was made in 2019. Had the car since new and completed less than 25000 miles. Its always been serviced as required and is never pushed hard. I'm not the kind of driver. Decided...

Re: Nissan QQ N-Connecta 1.3 petrol, (2020, 27,000 miles)

Hi Folks, Just informing that this car is still available - as mentioned, it's in excellent condition throughout. Not a mark on it. If you are looking for a second-hand, low mileage QQ, then this one is well worth looking at. Its currently advertised on Gumtree - just use the following link or searc...
