Re: 1.2 dig-t grey smoke

Go out on a cold night and light a match, blow it out and watch the smoke, it hangs in the air a lot differently than the wispy breath coming out of your mouth. There is a difference with the way it dissipates, difficult to describe but becomes obvious once you do that and hopefully it is just cond...

Re: 1.2 dig-t grey smoke

Are you really sure it's not just condensation? The 1.2 is the worst car for condensation/steamy exhaust I've ever seen, even after a 1hr motorway trip when you think it would be up to temp and all burned off you still get a lot of steam coming out when you park up (and it is steam not smoke in my ...

Re: Hill assist, not so much assisting.

OK, the situation seems a lot stranger than originally thought. When you put it in gear at a hill, hill start assist engaged, and bring the clutch up to engage the gear whilst a bit of throttle it does nothing. My wife says there's no biting point at all.

Hill assist, not so much assisting.

Hi guys,

Another problem with the qashqai. It's now the hill assist. When it's active and on a hill, you have to revs its tits off to get the auto hold to disconnect. Anyone have this issue? It's intermittent.

It's a 15 plate, 1.2 dig-t.

1.2 dig-t grey smoke

Hi guys, Week 2 into my qashqai ownership, great motor. However, I've noticed a lot of grey smoke coming out the exhaust when driving and stationary. Even when engine is up to temperature. Anyone know what this could be? I know when starting and cold, condensation can appear, but this is thicker tha...

Re: 1.2 DIG-T - Oil loss

Hi guys, I just bought a 2015 qashqai 1.2 dig-t Acenta. Only just saw this thread today (I've not received the car yet, it's on its way). I've purchased from Arnold Clark and its got 17k miles on it. What the hell do I do now? Can't refuse receipt of the car as we really need it for work and baby. W...
