I'm not sure if the engine is safe once the chain has gone and chances are the pistons have hit the valves I would turn the crank so that the pistons are midway down the bores (remove plugs to check this is the case) and then I would turn the cam(s) cautiously to ensure there is free movement. If not possible on any of these actions then chances are it has lunched the engine

It will be quite a bit of money to replace the fluid (with the correct original spec fluid) and original equipment (or equivalent spec) filter Rough guess £150 to £200 all in

There is radio decoding software out there (and even Facebook has quite a few links to people who can supply you with a number) but either way you will need the serial number from the unit which means removing it from the dashboard (unless you have it written down somewhere)

With the ignition switched OFF, insert the ignition key into the front passenger airbag switch, located in the glove box. Press the key and turn it to the OFF position. or also mentions that there is a switch on the passenger end of the dashboard which can be viewed with the door open

Hi Marius....welcome to the Club Fine looking Qashqai...looks in great condition

Merry Christmas to the members of the Nissan Owners Club Enjoy the festive break and see you back here in 2024

It could be battery condition if it is that old so worth starting with a test and replace if necessary Also worth checking all earth leads from the battery onto the engine and transmission back to the chassis. If any of these are corroded or broken that could cause the problem

Sounds like it could be leaking turbo boost pressure. Is there any splits in the intercooler, hoses or pipes.....usually accompanied by a wooshing or farting sound if split

I'm sure Eurocarparts or GSF or some other local motor factors could source an aftermarket pump or associated components Not sure of costs though but surely would be cheaper than the dealership

Sounds like a vacuum leak from one of the hoses on the inlet manifold Check all hoses for perishing and leaks which you may also be able to hear as a hissing sound

Split turbo boost pipe (usually a wooshing or whistling sound associated with this) or variable vanes sticking with carbon and need cleaning

Hi....welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!

Well done, that is superb and obviously driven correctly to last that long

How are you getting on with the Serena ?

Crikey that's an unusual fault. I wonder why the pump went out of timing - either something is worn (timing chain) or it was incorrectly timed in the past and was on the threshold and then dropped off the edge Thank you for sharing the rectification of this fault....you never know, someone else may benefit from it in the future.

Look on EuroCarParts website where you can put your registration number in and look up flywheel and see what it is described as Welcome to put screenshot of your findings on here and we can look to see if it is DMF

I have used https://direct4x4.co.uk/ for accessories before and great company otherwise you could look at eBay to see whats on there

It could be a battery voltage issue when the full current is being used by starting the engine and possibly interrupting the mirror opening procedure?

Try https://www.wingmirrorman.co.uk/ they may have a replacement glass listed

Try this procedure, I have successfully used this for an X-Trail key before Insert the key into the ignition, but don't start the car, then remove the key. Do this about six times, although it can take up to 10 times. When your car accepts the Key, the hazard lights will flash twice. Now you're in program mode.

Thanks for letting us know, always good to know the outcome

If one of the earth straps was corroded then check any other ones that are there....it is quite common for this sort of fault to occur due to poor earths Also check the battery terminals are tight and corrosion free Let us know what you find

I would check the battery terminals and leads, particularly the earth leads from the battery to engine, engine to chassis and see if the connections are sound
