I know 2 people who have had Qashqai 1.5 DCI engine failures. One had a new engine under Warranty, the other failure was hidden away by the Dealer and he never saw it again. They gave him a Demonstrator replacement instead. Before that a neighbour's 1.5 DCI Renault was written off after an Engine runaway meltdown.
These injectors dont fail often, there must be a cause that they failed You should check the fuel filter for iron particles If iron particles are present, likely the hpfp has failed Sorry for bad english 🤣
With or without diagnosis equipment, and from watching you and Jimmy, there has always been and there will always be parts swapper's and so called technicians with no skills, research capabilities or the ability to think logically. We are stuck with these people.
Another great video Baz, Just like some others who follow you, i am not in your trade, but thoroughly enjoy the time and effort that you put into your content. My motto is..every day is a school day...and your videos certainly fulfill that 👍
It’s a long time since I worked on motors, I won’t be working on em anytime soon either but I enjoy watching you work and I’m learning all the time fabulous content matey. 😁👍
Top man Baz awesome work as usual.Guaranteed lesser garages would of played parts darts with this one.Shame at that mileage and 1 year out of warranty.
I had this issue on my 2011 Qashqai+2 1.5dci last Xmas eve when the car suddenly lost power on the motorway and the engine fault light came on. I managed to limp it off the motorway and connect up my Topdon diagnostics scanner which told me there was a fault with injector 3. I limped it home and waited until the local parts store was open after xmas where the first thing I got was a new fuel filter thinking it was 3 years in the car and needed replacement. After fitting that, the car still had the fault and so I removed injector 3 which came out very easily despite the car being 12 years old and 220,000 miles on it. I took it apart and after an overnight soak in Wynns dpf cleaning fluid, I cleaned off the parts and reassembled it. Popped it back into the engine, primed the fuel system and hey presto, it started and ran sweetly with no faults. Luckily I didn't have to buy a new injector for it as they're pricey little beasts. I've since cleaned the remaining injectors the same way and fingers crossed, there have been no further issues. I'm probably on borrowed time with them but I'll be changing the car shortly and so my "fix", has gotten me to the finish line with this car.
@@lovingcars1144well at least their petrol engines are better than the diesel or am I wrong 😂 I know the only problem I hear about them is the timing chains but otherwise they’re solid
These k9k engines go for a looong time. The most common reason for dead injectors this soon is giving it the beans immediately right after a cold start.
@@bazmeredith maybe the owner tanked petrol instead of diesel once, and drove it till it stopped. And now the fuelpump is damaged and there might be some metal pumped to the injectors, causing the injectors to fail.....
@@Lexusman65 in construction engines Perkins it will run trim codes are only for emissions and make no difference how does the ECM know what figures you put in
@@Lexusman65 I think if you dont code them makes no difference how does the ECM and injectors know there are wrong numbers in the e-prom I think if you just fit injectors and drive the car no issue the motor trade want you to go to a garage Baz has always coded them but has he fitted them and got the customer to drive away never to be seen can anyone tell me brake cleaner works every time only thing it does not tell you what injector is bad but if 2 or 3 is bad then the rest wont be far behind
@@scotspie501douglas7 One diesel specialist said: It is imperative that coding is done with accuracy because fuel delivery and injector timing will be tailored exactly according to the properties of the injector that the ECU will think exist from the code it has been given. Using general, broad codes or repeated codes could inform the ECU of the wrong set of properties for that injector such as incorrect nozzle opening time, nozzle opening pressure, and injector timing. The resulting engine performance will be poor including high fuel consumption, lumpy running, and poor high NOx emissions. It is advisable to perform coding after testing an injector to know that all its measurements are within tolerances and that the resulting code will contain that established information
I must be watching a different video to you lot. I've never seen any injectors come out that clean !!!!! The new ones look worse than the knackered ones. Christ, the power of blue Peter. Here's a few we removed off camera. 🤔
Do you honestly think I've staged this video, or made it look easier than it is? If the jobs hard I'll show it if it's easy I'll show it if something breaks I show it
What did we do without diagnostic equipment? Fire up the parts cannon 😂

Getting addicted to your videos Baz. Your presentation whilst doing some really complicated mechanicin is first class. 👍😎
Thanks buddy
Would have inspected fuel filter before fitting new injectors as hpfp could be failing.
Cant beat a bit of old school diagnostics. 🤙
Great job Baz, but replace that fuel filter as a matter of caution. love your work and cleanliness 🥰

Great job mate 👏👏
Would always want to take a fuel sample. Cp4 Bosch pumps don’t seem to be that great.
What a GUY! Love ya videos fella! Given me some tips since watching 👀 lol

Doing a great job!
Good place united diesel, it's the only place we use at work
4 year old car and all 4 failed..ummmmmmmm! A BIG question I would be asking is ‘what happened to cause that?”
Years ago Nissan was a byword for reliability. Now their build quality has nosedived.
All thanks to Renault alliance
14 years on my Qashqai 1.5dci oil changed every year from new. great little engine.
@@lovingcars1144well at least their petrol engines are better than the diesel or am I wrong 😂

i,ve had one of them as a company car for 5 years bullet proof cars

Depends on some of them, the equal quality on them aren’t great
Surprised the injectors went down on that engine as they normally bullet proof..
Great video Baz, seems parts are not made to last these days or crap fuel or lack of servicing ? anyway its fixed-a-rooney
I always seem to get Continental branded injectors that fail on these 👊
Well diagnosed baz iv got a turbo do do one of them day after tomorrow should be fun
another quick test is brake cleaner as its lighter if it starts injectors issue
4 years old and 41000 miles and two injectors are faulty already?? Very odd....
Well obviously old cars were simpler werent they
Before the ecu was just a distributor simple to diagnose s no start issue. No sensors no ecu
What's the vinyl rubber dressing you use ..? Great video as per..
Thank Gawd there isn't a part called a Rooney ;) You'd be working on a RooneyRooney :)
No poking and hoping
It’s good to test and not guess
So did you end up with 2 brand new injectors or 2 reconditioned ones
Looks like open heart surgery with that contraption
Baz any chance you could help me out with a quick question on a clio?
nice fix! But what was the cause of the injectors failing? Very expensive 'joke'...
Just fail, nothing to prevent it
@@bazmeredith maybe the owner tanked petrol instead of diesel once, and drove it till it stopped. And now the fuelpump is damaged and there might be some metal pumped to the injectors, causing the injectors to fail.....
next question if you did not code the injectors to the ECm does it make a difference is it only for emissions
It will still run but on previous injectors readings.Could still cause problems though.I think i,m right.
@@Lexusman65 in construction engines Perkins it will run trim codes are only for emissions and make no difference how does the ECM know what figures you put in
@@scotspie501douglas7 Thats something i,ve never figured out and only seen diesel specialists do with no explanation.

If only vivaro injectors came out so easy 😢😂
I know init
Oh no ecoboost wet belt 😭😭
Without diagnostic sensors, you lot ripped us off just like today. Some things never change.
