8. 14 Nov 2017

   Problems with 2016/65 reg Nissan Qashqai 1.6 dCi 130 have included; corrosion under the lacquer of the diamond cut alloy wheels which saw two alloy wheels being replaced at just over 1 year old. The battery failed in summer 2017. In October it had the Mass Airflow Sensor replaced as it had started dropping power, and the air conditioning required regassing (R1234YF) at a cost of £150 as there was no gas left in the system, yet supposedly no leaks in the system either. Now the lacquer has stated to bubble on one of the two wheels not replaced last spring. In addition the air filter housing is held together with self tapping screws! These screws were fitted by the dealer in an apparently crude attempt to stop the air filter housing from vibrating and buzzing, something. The original plastic clips have now been fretted away to dust, and so the housing now needs replacing too.
