Overview

I've just got a 2012 Qashqai n-tec dci but there is no spare wheel or wheel changing kit. Is the spare for this a space saver or normal size wheel

I removed the inside panel of the boot door and saw no signs of damage to the wiring. And I was wrong about the camera being connected to the right side light. Seems to have its own circuit. So I’m none the wiser for now. I have ordered a new camera (cheap one from Aliexpress) and will try and connect that before messing around more with the wires.

Its certainly worth checking the wiring for damage as this does occur over time

Hey everyone, new member here. I have a 2009 J10 Qashqai, left hand drive, with a reverse camera. My problem is that the right reverse light isn't working, as well as the reverse camera. The left light is working. When putting the gear into R the display goes black, and with that one light also coming on, I assume the car "knows" it's in R. I've replaced the right side bulb but no luck. I haven't checked the fuses yet, but I doubt that could be the issue as one light still works. I suspect that the camera draws its power from the right light somehow. That they're on the same wire and that it might be cut/broken somewhere. I'm not confident enough to rip out the interior panels to check the whole length of the cable. That would be a job for my mechanic (€140 diagnostic fee!). Does anyone have experience of any similar situation? Since the left light works, could the problem be located in the back door? Assuming it's wired like camera -> right light -> left light -> through the rubber tube thing out of the door hinge. Thank you!

Hi Paul, thanks for reply. the files are mp3, so should all play. I am using a one of the newer sticks, USB-C, in case older sticks don’t work on the latest latest players. So everything is compatible. i will up date this saga after the visit to the dealer who is going to check player in the car.

If some of the files play, can't see it being the usb stick. Shove it in a laptop, and see wot format the files are. If some are mp3 and some flac it may not play the flac ones. That's were I would begin. Failing that just Bluetooth from phone

I have a new Dec 2024 Quashqui. When using a USB stick with music files, not all the tracks are played. Some are played and some are not. There does appear to be any logical reason for this. The dealer said that the USB stick might the wrong type without explaining what type would work. After researching the various types of USB stick it appeared that what I needed was the latest USB stick termed “USB-C”. Apparently there are several types of USB sticks and the Quashqui I have needs the latest type. But this has not solved the problem, I still get some tracks that work and some are ignored. The dealer has booked the car in for them to sort the problem, but it won’t be until mid April, 6 weeks away. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Yes thanks, that was the first thing I done. Wasent sure at first if it had come off my car. But google lens nearest picture produced a pic and said, nissan almeria. So think it must be off my vehicle. Thanks for the help. Paul

At this stage it’s worth a shot … or it’s the scrap heap 😒

Try searching in Google Lens - it brings up many images similar to yours and maybe give you a clue of what it is

I think your mechanic is right and certainly worth a try for the cost of a secondhand ECU My only concern is how is has been damaged in the first place - short circuit in wiring, water ingress, etc

Hi, is latest Xtronic free of previous problems can anyone tell me.

Hi all I joined this forum in the hope that someone can help me, my 2015 Nissan quashquai 1.5 DCI N TEC has suffered a catastrophic fault in the ECU, it’s completely fried my mechanic has told me that the only solution is to take a full ECU kit from a donor car and put it into mine, and it might work as things stand, the car will have to be scrapped, so this is the last roll of the dice I was wondering if anyone on this forum has ever heard of this being done, and what components make up a full ECU kit. any help would be greatly appreciated mick

Found this under me j10 iny garage, not noticed anything while driving. But don't know wot it is or we're it came from. Thanks for looking Paul

Hi Trevor, Thank you for your input, anything helps at this point, much appreciated! All the best, Daniel

It should be something like selecting the individual seat position and then depressing the position number 1 or 2 button (depending on who is driving at the time) for a short period of time

Not sure but sounds like a Dual Mass Flywheel failing which can cause those sounds and also lead to the vehicle jerking. You can tell this when you switch the engine off and the rattling continues for a very short while afterwards

Hi, can anyone help me by telling me how to set the front seat memory position settings . My wife was going shopping ,when she started to move off the seat started moving back and she struggled to reach the brake peddle to stop ,luckily she was in an open space .

Noisy Transmission and Jerking After Oil Pan Replacement Hello everyone, I recently purchased a second-hand Nissan Qashqai, and I’m experiencing some issues that I hope you can help me with. Here’s the timeline of events: 1. Initial Issue - Oil Leak: Shortly after purchasing the car, I noticed an oil leak. I took it to a mechanic, who identified that the oil pan had been replaced previously but was not installed correctly. The mechanic reinstalled the oil pan and resolved the leak. 2. New Issues After Oil Pan Fix: Noise: A new metallic noise started after the oil pan was fixed. It sounds like something hitting a rotating fan. The noise only occurs when the car is moving and gets louder with speed. Jerking: The car jerks quite strongly when driving at low speeds, particularly around 20-30 mph, as if struggling to shift gears (it’s a manual transmission). 3. Mechanic’s Diagnosis: The mechanic believes the gearbox is starting to fail. They mentioned that it will work for a while but warned that the noise and jerking will worsen over time. Could these issues be related to the oil pan replacement? I suspect the mechanic may have disturbed some nearby components like the transmission, exhaust, or driveshaft. Has anyone else experienced similar issues with their Qashqai, particularly metallic noises or jerking at low speeds? What steps would you recommend I take to diagnose and fix this properly? Any advice, insights, or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

Still worth getting the fault codes interpreted which will narrow down the possible cause(s)

Thanks for the reply, it wasn't since replacing the battery, it happened before this. They said that the battery could be causing the issue so they replaced it. The Nissan garage have taken it in and scanned the vehicle already and said they have found no issues with it which is why we are unsure what to do and what the problem could be.

Not sure what the exact cause is but if it was since replacing the battery then I wonder if they dislodged a connection to the headlight which may be in the vicinity. Either way, a scan of the vehicle should reveal some fault codes which will guide you to a specific cause Let us know how you get on with it all

Hi, I'm posting this on behalf of my mum who recently purchased a Qashqai Tekna DCI 1.6 Diesel, 17 plate from a local dealership. Since she bought the car she has had to send it back to them for some system faults that come on randomly while she is driving. It flicks between every fault, chassis control, system fault, headlight fault plus others. When this happens the car feels sluggish, has been hard to control at times and felt stiff. She has had it back to the dealership who said they couldn't find an issue with it but replaced the battery to make sure that wasn't the issue and then sent it back to her. She then sent it back to them again for the same issue and they sent it to the Nissan dealership expecting that they would be able to diagnose the problem and they said they couldn't find an issue with it either. It has happened around 6 or 7 times in the last 4-6 weeks and at this point she doesn't know what to do and is trying to find a solution to the problem. I have attached some photos of the issue, if there is any other info that I am missing that would help out please let me know, any help is appreciated, thanks.

Please let us know how you get on with it all

P.S. I also read that the wiper relay is soldered into the IPDM and not removable- although the 'plug- in' relays can be bought off ebay... Go figure.
