Qashqai Model: Mk.1 Qashqai Facelift - J10b (2010–2013)

Post by barneymcgrew »

Hi All,

We've just bought a 2011 1.5 DCI NTEC and we really like it, however, we have an annoying creak when pulling away and also when accelerating in second and even a touch in third, I've searched these forums and the net in general, but have yet to find an answer.

I've bounced around in the seat, I've driven over bumps but I cannot replicate the sound unless I pull off or accelerate at low speed, pulling away as if doing a hillstart really shows up the sound.

My hearing is impaired so I cannot say where the sound is coming from but my wife reckons it is front, drivers side?

The sound feels more related to the body than the engine as in if the pull away is not smooth the sound is in sync with the body movement rather than the engine, it also seem to be only audible inside the car.

Any thoughts would be most gratefully received!

Hope that all makes sense, thanks for reading. :)
