You can buy the pipe for reasonable money but it is difficult to replace . I have no confidence in the mechanics in the main Nissan dealers . Also there are some fundamental flaws in the electrics of the 2014 Quashqai . Low voltage is not indicated and when the Voltage drops due to alternator or battery troubles you get no warning . The engine will stop and handbrake will not work and steering will get very heavy .All these emissions systems are ruining cars, and costing the motorist a fortune.
nice vid, popular engine so very handy
On some of 1.5dci engines, low voltage caused by alternator or battery troubles can set off an engine management light for injector fault which will limit the revs until the light is turned off by plugging it in. Still a good engine though with long proven reliability.You can buy the pipe for reasonable money but it is difficult to replace . I have no confidence in the mechanics in the main Nissan dealers .

Also if you accidently lock someone in the car they cannot get out of it . The same software for the locking system is in several other makes of car .
It is still a good car
Most of them are cat and alot of them are cowboys.I agree with you about mechanics too in all the main dealers, computer says replace so that’s all they do and then bill you. Don’t know how to properly diagnose and fix things….
Like many cars, engine is good, it’s all the shite they bolt on it and around it that causes the problems 😉👍
I'm not sure what you mean?.Leave it outside the gatehouse , unlocked ?
We gave it a try with the wire and it is well blocked. It looks like someone more dexterous than me will have to replace the pipe.Leave it outside the gatehouse , unlocked ?
Replaced the pipe and four heater plugs €90 labor. The total bill was €222 . I got the old pipe and even in the Vise it was impossible to clean. I cut it open and it was full of hard soot .We gave it a try with the wire and it is well blocked. It looks like someone more dexterous than me will have to replace the pipe.
Was access easy enough then?Replaced the pipe and four heater plugs €90 labor. The total bill was €222 . I got the old pipe and even in the Vise it was impossible to clean. I cut it open and it was full of hard soot .
He bent a heat shield out of the way . The problem arises if it wrings off as you would have to take the manifold off to get at it . They have been known to wring off .Was access easy enough then?
That could have been it. I know on the Renault there is poor access. I'd imagine it should be better to access on the qashqai. Good to get it sorted regardless.He bent a heat shield out of the way .
