Hi guys
The engine on my Nissan Qashqai 1.2 Automatic 1.2 Dig-T Xtronic (Petrol) is tapping on idle as in this video ...
Is this normal?
Also, there seems to be a flappy noise when accelerating from low speed.
It's got 9k miles on it, recently acquired, ex rental.
Heeeelp!!!

Thanks, was this covered under warranty? Did it totally fix the tapping?

If your QQ is still under warranty, then it shouldn't cost you anything. There is a technical bulletin that is in the sticky post about the 1.2 engine loss. I've attached it to this thread. Check your engine oil and your chassis number.
Mine was done after the warranty period and they tried charging me £700for it. But, I had a pretty good case to get them to fix without it costing me. I also took autocare with Arnold Clark (extended warranty). Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

I see, looks like my VIN is not included SJN . . . . . U2144 . . ., no?

Thanks for your help. I'll see if it's the timing chain and the tensioner so.
