Re: Timing Chain
When carrying out any major job on my cars, if there is anything easily replaced without costing major money in parts, I replace them as well. The pump is not a cheap item, have it inspected before replacing it.

Re: Timing Chain
Did a quick google and the MR20DD engine appears common, so timing chain should be ok, have a google yourself to make certain as there is also a MR20DE. There are also some Youtube videos of chain replacement.

Re: M9R - Piston Rings DIY
Modern engines are much more complicated than the old engines, especially transverse mounted. The gearbox is at the bottom so probably needs removal to get to the crank.

Re: Parking brake vs hill hold
My previous car had the electronic handbrake with the dreadful electronic gearbox. Unfortunately it didn’t have hill start so without using the electronic handbrake it would happily roll back unlike traditional automatics with torque converter. I’m hoping my new second hand Qashqai with CVT transmi...

Re: Qashqai diagnostics
Many moons ago I purchased an icarsoft for my Mercedes, works well on the Nissan but they sell a pro range (read expensive) and a not so expensive range. Buy direct from them, there are way too many cheap copies.

Re: Mechanic recommendation
You refer to gearbox fluid, is it an auto box? If it is, change the gearbox oil every 50k miles.

Re: New Whining noise from 2014 Qashqai
If there is a whine which is associated with engine speed under load as opposed to just revving the engine when stationary, does sound like a turbo noise assuming you have one. If you do, the potential failure of the turbo could be down to the dealer incorrectly fitting your sump plug, engine loosin...
