Hi everyone
My dad has a 57 plate Qashqai 1.5dci on 84k miles, always been serviced on time etc
He now has some very loud knocking, is underpowered, has some whitish smoke from his car and the oil light flicks on very briefly sometimes.
Garage thing big or small end but can't say why it happened.
Does anyone know what it is or could be?
Qashqai 1.5dci engine knocking like mad
The problem could be many things, but it does sound like a very broken engine and expensive to fix. Knocking noises can be a worn bearing, burning oil will be due to an oil seal leaking / worn piston / rings / turbo etc. The usual cause for these things would be down to poor oil / incorrect oil change intervals / lack of oil. I'm guessing in this cause it's lack of oil.
You may find it cheaper/ safer bet to get a second hand engine / reconditioned engine rather than paying the garage to repair it, as when they pull it apart chances are there will be more worn stuff and their estimate for repair will be much higher than you thought.
Good luck

I thought it could be oil starvation but it's always been at the full mark. I suspect either big or small end bearings but don't know what damage could have been caused as he drove it a few miles.
I've looked at fitting a reconditioned engine for him but know that programming injectors can be a PITA!
Thanks

Was thinking more like getting an engine etc from a breakers alrdy removed. I have no idea on cost though

If it was "always serviced on time", shouldn't the cambelt have been changed as part of one of those services?
If it turns out that it wasn't, perhaps the servicing garage/dealer will have some stumping up to do.

Used to have 2015 1.6dCi 130 Xtronic N-tec+ in Gun Metallic
Pretty sure he didn't use nissan/renault for the annual servicing.
Hopefully i'll be able to repair it if this was the issue and it didn't bend values etc. It still starts and runs so maybe.
Before I can get to work on it I have to tow it 50 miles to the house he's buying..
