Mr. Boost, my belt shredded at about 52k miles (2017 Q50 Red), and had no idea this was an issue. After looking under the hood and seeing what the problems was, I googled how to change the belt, and found your video. A buddy found the belt after four tries (Houston, Southside), and even though you didn't have a layout, we used it with another image to get the job done in the dark. (You weren't kidding about that tensioner). At the dealer for my next service, they said I had some damaged to other houses and belts under the carriage, and that the price would be starting at $1100. I used the INFORMATION YOU GAVE ME(!!!!) about Nissan knowing about this issue to have them call Nissan and HAVE IT DONE FOR FREE EVEN THOUGH MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I'm glad you came up on my frantic search, and I owe ya one. Spreading the love!
Issue 1 fix : Get the car checked out. Issue 2 fix : Get a catch can or air/oil separator. Issue 3 fix : Make sure you use the right fuel.
pcv = positive Crank case ventilation; pvc = polyvinyl chloride ( pipes)
After reading all these comments about problems, I’m questioning myself on getting a q60....
Eh every car will have their problems. I wouldn’t let this discourage you man.
Same here... my ecoboost had issues so im thinking of the new 3.5 or 3.0 ecoboost. Or just a Q60 butttt... here we are
@@vu__ preach on brother 😂 true true
The people commenting "no issues at 15k miles" lmao uhh bro that's still brand new, like shit congratulations not having your car break down on the drive home from the dealer 🤣. Let's check back at 50k+
Hell even 50k is still pretty fresh, I would check back at around 75k
Lmao exactly! My engine just went out at 88k. That's real driving with the engine not 20k. I'm really upset about this and don't know what to do. It's ridiculous that my engine went out before 100k and all I have is a jb4 and a custom muffler setup
@@KingDavidPraiseYHWH did this really happen ? I just bought a 2017 Q50s 3.0T awd , 78k miles
Damn bro you are worrying me lol. I just bought a 2018 Q50 Red Sport today at 41k miles and it runs insanely good compared to my 2014 Q50 Hybrid Sport.
@@KingDavidPraiseYHWH should have gone for a custom tune
2016 Q50 Red Sport with 90k miles. Absolutely 0 issues. Raced it, pushed it, never an engine issue
Update?? And any issues with tech?
3.7? Engine?
3.0 TT at 102k now
@@markcastillo1934 no he said red sport it’s a 3.0 twin turbo
@@chrissmelley149 any issues?
Coming from the Subaru world, WRX/Sti (had both,and both highly modded) just used to checking oil.Turbo engines just go through oil. So before 5k my Q60 was down almost a quart.Just bought so oil and keep it in my truck. And agree with you on not waiting until 10k for oil change. I did mine at 5k and will keep doing ever 5k. Just for better piece of mind
Thank you and your right
Just buy a Lexus instead.
Changed the wifes new Highlander at 1K, then 5K and have now bumped it to 5500... Oil is a main variable... it just makes sense..... I don't have $45K to go buy another over priced cheap Yota Car... and Wouldn't!! the interior is a real let down compared to QX80's Lexus, Suburban's, Tahoes….
What kind of oil do u put for ur q50 man
35k mile 3.0T luxe unmodded 0 problems so far. Fingers crossed!
🙏🏽
No major issues at all lol. Serpentine is a minor adjustment to fix it. And the Easiest permanent fix for PCV is to buy an oil catch can- $70 for a good one $20 for eBay one
I purchased my 2017 q50 premium pre owned at 13k miles. Now there is 28k and all I have done is get a full synthetic oil change every 5k miles. I Only get Mobil 93 gas and I haven't had any issues at all.
Just purchased me pre owned at 22k love it so far hopefully I won’t have any either 🙏🏾
Damn I just got a 2020 q50 ): fingers crossed nothing happens I’ll be taking more notes Thankyou for everything!
Same I’m having problems over heating
My 2018 Q50 Red Sport needed its engine replaced after the oil ran super low. Only 68XX miles and it started to knock. Upon examination my dealer found shrapnels of metal in the oil pan. They replaced it under warranty and so far, I’ve had absolutely no issue. I’ve been on this new engine for about 1500 miles now and it’s running fine, obviously don’t wanna push it too much yet but it’s doing good. Now I know that I’m not alone though 😂😂😂
I would change your oil & filter soon. I changed out the oil & filter on my '17 Q60S initially @ 1k miles, and every 4-5k miles since. Now @ 19k miles, my engine uses no oil between change intervals, and I am modded.
Aero Man I appreciate the advice man, I actually just got a new intake and exhaust, been checking my oil twice a week and haven’t had any issue since. Looking to make this car faster so hopefully this routine will save me and the engine from any future issues
@@ili.qfiddy The VR30DDTT engine has alot of potential. Last fall, my Q60 Red Sport put down 437 WHP & 502 WTQ on a DynoJet AWD dyno w/93 octane.
One more note on oil changes, I take a sample of oil at every oil change and send it to Blackstone Labs for analysis. For $28, I can track how much metal is in the oil, and just as important, how much fuel is in the oil. With Direct Injection, fuel dilution is a concern, and can reduce viscosity over time. I found I shouldn't go over 5k miles between changes, as the fuel dilution reduced my 5W30 to a 5W20 in one sample. YMMV...
I'll also be running a Catch Can soon... Mishimoto has released a nice setup for the VR30DDTT for $200 (pre-order). It will be available in March 2019.
I replaced Ac belt from dealer. I found out noise when AC is on and at 3500 RPM. Open your windows and listen if you hear some noise go replace them. 2017 q50 premium.
Agreed
No need to replace if not damaged. You need to have your ac compressor realigned. There’s a tsb for it.
Question, does warranty cover the belt issue? Currently at 66k. 2017 Q50S
@@hawkman8835 tsb?
@@finessegodkasey technical service bulletin
I have read some scary stuff on the Q50 forums about engines being replaced. The old VQ37 was almost maintenance free but this car will require bmw levels of maintenance. My best advice for Q50/60 buyers is if you can't afford a big repair bill PLEASE get a warranty. I know how stressful repairs can be and it isn't worth it.
I've had my 2014 Q50 3.7 AWD for almost 2 years and she's been great. Just got my oil changed and tires done today and was told for my next appt we should do spark plugs and I know I also need a valve cover gasket. So I'll get both done at the same time since it's apart anyway. She's just shy of 100k and I absolutely love my car. My last car was a dodge crapvenger. Now that was a nightmare of a money milker. While the infiniti definitely isn't cheap, I'll still take it over something that needs repairs every week. Seems all vehicles these days are a crapshooot. All we can do is research some stuff we like and narrow down the choices. Nothings gonna be perfect and there will always be lemons, or something not properly put together no matter the brand. People build cars and everyone has off days. The quality of a Friday built car may not be the same as a Monday built car for example. It's luck of the draw, some will have positive experiences and some will not. 2 years in for me and I would not choose another car over this one.
Currently cleaning the oil out of the driver side(pre-turbo). Thx for conforming my thoughts! Great vid/info!
17 q50 3.0t prem. 65k miles
thats coming from the pcv valve
Did u have any issues with the car yet? Is it stock?
Hey Boost I hav a 2017 q50 3.0t pre I'm tuned wit just lower dwn pipes now my turbos are smoking white smoke wen idling wat turbos can I get to stop the white smoke?
I ve been beating the shit out my 17 red sport for 2 years and have had 0 issues... stock tho
dari abel have you had any front axel issues??
good to know im about to purchase one tomorrow lol .. but 2016
Well I’ve purchased her and I’m extremely happy with my purchase... the experience with Infiniti was pretty shitty to say the least, from assuming I was a broke kid to loosing the keys on day of test drive for hour plus... gym was making smart comments the whole time lol. Wish I just paid it in cash and told him to fuck himself lol but I have to build credit -.- I’ll pay it off at the end of the year instead
BEN DOVER keep us updated, I’m a college student planning on buying the ‘16 q50 with the twin turbo
BEN DOVER Glad I’m not the only one who thinks that Nissan/INFINITI have a habit of judging a book by its cover. I went in to get a little Altima as a typical commuter and I got turned down despite my credit being decent (needed a car badly at the time). Their customer service is all round atrocious. I’m currently looking at a Q50 myself, just not sure to go VQ or VR.
Hi this just happened to me @61,000 miles. Luckily the service tech knew about bulletin. Get it checked!
At around 34000 miles my 2017 q50 had a misfire under warranty they had to fix it at no charge but I had just done an oil change about 600 miles prior and always pump premium fuel it just happens overall love this car and I'm looking to get an older gtr and I don't plan to trade in the q50
This is highly informational. I was curious on these newer designs since they moved away from the VQ bases lol. Good video!
Need an oil catch can.....problem solved 👍
Any turbo car or Direct injection car needs a oil catch can.
2018 Q60 RS400 - came with 4 permanent flat spots in tires (warranty) , TPMS drops out and comes back 2-3 days later (not fixed), sometimes car does recognize the key and wont start, wont open the drivers door (not fixed), break down after tranny control modual failure, followed by 5 -6 hard shifts in 5 weeks (not fixed yet, but known) , and the grand issue -drum roll- excessive gas in oil. car has 9600 miles, has had ELEVEN OIL CHANGES with oil samples taken at each change. Spoke with Infiniti corporate last night, probably going to buy the car back.
Yep that's a lemon. I'm surprised it happened to your 2018
Have had the same Key issue just start. Any feedback on why sometimes I cant unlock the door at the handle and have to use the remote to open door. Then sometimes sitting in the front seat and dash will read Key ID not recognized 😳
Wow...after watching this and reading the comments, I don't think I could take a chance on this car. There's nothing worse than having to take a car back to the dealer for issues and hoping they'll take care of you. It can be an especially big problem if you are modding it. I want to like these cars, but I really feel like Nissan/Infiniti quality is really dropping these days. Overall I must say I'm very happy with my Charger Scat Pack...no issues at 36k miles. I can't add power easily like with these turbo cars, but it's pretty quick stock and it never gives me any trouble. Gotta like that.
The 3.7 Q50 is better than the 3.0 turbo in my opinion. I would never buy the turbo but I love my 2014 Q50 3.7 awd...shes coming up on 100k
My 2018 Q60 threw a check engine light at 2700 miles back in June. Evap system fault, apparently a hose underneath the car came undone. Infiniti reconnected it under warranty and its been fine since.
Have this check Engine from 10 000Km and 11 000Km for my 2017 Red Sport Q50. They changed the Evap Valve and the Gas cap. I Hope a never seen it again :P P0448
2016 RS Here. AWD system failure. Car dash lit up like a Christmas tree. Pulled over. Still drivable. Infiniti dealer said wheel speed sensor. Also said so many failures that Infiniti was not prepared, back ordered part. Not sure if that’s the kind of issue you’re looking for.
From what I've learned in the early 2014 models had that similar issue. But I mainly talkin in regards to the engine itself
PCV = POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILIATION... Not PVC.
Boisson Media 🤦🏻♂️😂😂😂. I was correcting him in my mind every time he’s said it.
Lol i try so hard not to do this too
To be fair he said pcv the first time :)
😂😂😂😂😂
He must be a plumber...
Bought my 2016 q50 I complained about my serpentine belt when I was about to buy it but the sales person said it was fine .. 3 Months Later blew my coolent & O RING, C-O Ring , and Serpentine Belt All In One! MADE A HUGE CONPLAINT when I took it to the dealer and they replaced them with new parts thank you @boostinmotion I’m learning more and more about my 16’ Q50 your videos are a huge help! But honestly I regret getting a 2016 q50 I should’ve gotten the 2015 3.7 🤣🤣
Serious issues
2018
My engine was loosing coolant at 33k
Overheating
Ended up having to replace the engine 😒
That's why I rather get the 3.7 no issues for at least 200k miles lol
Agreed
@@BoostInMotion too much electronic crap ….. I hate these new cars that you can't work on and they make them throw away cars... they're too expensive to throw away!!!
@John Miller what year are this?
Zolitar Iglussey They’re very easy to work on still. Just a bit tedious.
2016 RS Q50 owner here, I just had mine sent to the shop for ignition coils, injectors, air fuel sensors, and plugs changed under warranty.
Warranty on a 16?
@@Skyler1100 Yeah, at the time of purchase, I still had warranty up to 60k
No issues here 2017 Q50 Rs AWD, 19k miles.
Ohhh man so much information, I was starting to worry saw oil in intakes not much just a lil in both thanks for the info.
2018 Q50 luxe owner here.
Bought mine used, it was a rental car before I got it.
Currently has 37,500 miles.
I use rotella T6 with a gtr oil filter.
The car loves it! Just wanted to throw that out there.
No issues with the car so far.
Zack Miller maaan. Never would I ever buy a rental car
Nothing wrong with buying a rental 🤔 In many cases the car will actually be better cared for than a private owned one
Plantman people dog out rentals
Finaokiid not at all.. who wanna be responsible for paying money if you mess something up in a rental? Especially with a 2018 Q50 not just any person is renting that kinda car
@@G20wizard a Q50 infinity isn't a Camaro or Forte , Ford whatever that things called, those are the ones that get rented by kids and destroyed!! **Economy car I'm not sure what they classify a Q50 as? not Mid Size? I'd say luxury car?
I appreciate that my brother because I was thinking about buying AQ50 Within the last 2 weeks but now since I hear this I changed my mind good looking
Just bought a 2016 Q50ss with 300 miles on it. I put 800 miles on it driving home no issues.
30K 2018 Q50 mod exhaust, intakes, heat exchanger, lower downpipe & added auxiliary intercooler tank. No issue
Had some serious heat soak issues this past summer on my 18 Q60 RS400. No, I don't think the solution to the problem is to install bigger heat exchangers on a car worth 70k. for that kind of money this should not be an issue.
Great videos! I’m looking to buy a q50 soon and all your videos are very helpful
Some really good information, definitely will help me pick out a good pre owned q50
Did you go for the 3.0t or 3.7? I’m currently trying to decide myself.
@@davidlazo6237 what did u get man thinking of vr
The serpentine belt on my 2016 busted on the 81 heading up to Hershey... was crazy in heavy traffic no more juice...
2019 Q50 RS 400 stock! I feel a horrible turbo lag at times. When i gun it around 45mph+. I have 11k miles on the car.
Plus im not sure if im used to acceleration or what but cars started feel a but slower!
Is this is in all drive modes? Or Sport etc?
That’s why if u want the most reliable version 3.7 displacement is the safest bet
Great information. Pretty sure its call a PCV not PVC. But great information brother. Keep up the good work.
You are a very smart guy. Thank you for making this video. I have the first Ted sport (2016) and I had the motor already replaced...no oil :(
Then the brand new one after only 750 miles was down over half way on the dipstick, I can’t believe how fast it went down. PEOPLE, you need to pay attention to this problem! Also I’ve had misfires like crazy on the previous one, and also once since the new one.
This engine is still faster then anything in its class, more then anyone knows who hasn’t tuned it and opened it up
GREAT VIDEO BRO
All that spit 😂😂😂😂😂😂 , I have a q70 but I hope they would make a 3.7T
16 50RS 63k on it had a injector go out at 50 they replaced under warranty and I believe I'm developing the belt issue making some noise otherwise been a fantastic car
My Water pump my boy @ 23,000 miles .. q60 2020 3.0 t front wheel drive & I live in Miami ..
2019 Q60 3.0t sport 16k 0 issues. Drive it like I stole it! Gas killer on sport mode!!
People forget ..🤣 oil light doesn't come on when you're low on oil it only comes on when it detects zero pressure from the pump itself 😭
I have a 2016 q50. Ive had it since new and now have 67,000 on it, unfortunately Ive had my rear diff seal replaced and also the biggest has been that both turbos needed to be replaced at 65,000. For some reason the oil seals blew. I dont beat on the car and its completely stock. My wife does drive it from time to time, but who knows. Other than that car has been fine.
That's a lot of miles i wonder the mileage for these stock turbos
Was it pricey getting your turbos replaced?
@@BoostInMotion Yea I was hoping at least 80k
@@vanndaleyalexiarang No it was at no cost due to warranty.
Guggeranut gotcha 😃 that’s good
He forgot to mention, possible porous engine block dumping coolant out the exhaust and into the oil.. thought id be safe
This engine will be going into the new Z. This is a concern. Now I’m having second thoughts about the purchase. Supra maybe the way to go.
Have a friend who’s a Master Tech for Toyota for over 20 years and he says their shop is ALWAYS full of Supra’s. Said it’s a total piece of garbage and he’s pretty sure Toyota regrets ever getting involved with BMW on it.
Just replaced my engine on my 2017 q50 premium rwd
What was wrong with your engine
Yep, belt issue. Have taken the car in 6 times for the belt squeal issue... it’s a 2016... finally fixed. I hope...
@8O8clap Went to dealer squealing noise under boost, changed two turbos and same noise. Back to dealer next week.
Don't forget the Q50s had oil sticks that were too long so all thought oil .even was fine but actually very low.
Love your videos bro, been watching for about 3 years now. Question for you: do you think that there are more issues with the 2017 Q50 twin turbos opposed to the 2016 and 2018 models?
Infiniti is replacing my engine and turbos now with only 24,000 miles.
It started running hot yesterday.
They found metal and coolant in the oil pan.
the oil issues with infiniti has always existed. This was the case with my g35. I guess they will never correct this.
Same thing in my 350z
Weird I use to own a 2006 G35 Coupe myself and Never have any issue with the oil and I have well over 100k miles on it. And I traded in for a Q50 but I am about to upgrade to a Infiniti Q60 Red Sport 400 soon : )
Not with the 3.7's
Mmm love how you say the serpentine belt problem first and I believe that’s why my q50 keeps squeaking upon acceleration at 30000 miles? Lol
Sounds like your validating my 3.7 purchase and getting the Q70 instead of the Q50.
He's right on the oil issue... I've had to replace my engine at 19k miles so I check my oil religiously now. My Q60 is heavily modified too so it runs rich.
Infiniti is replacing my engine with turbos now with only 24,000 miles on a 2018 Q50 Red Sport.
@@jonbank7569 yeah it sucks and they should either fix that or make it clear to owners about the oil issue. Definitely check the oil. Sorry you gotta go through that man... Glad I didn't have to replace my turbos too so I feel for you.
Hey man have you had a “ticking issue”? My 2019 Infiniti Q60 35,000 miles I don’t really use it had it for 3 months and it only happens after I start it up then goes away why is that?
@@ricosuave4026 any updates to what it was?
@@honestreview169 I never owned Infiniti guess it’s just cold start starts “ticking” then starts normal idle so it’s just a loud engine but not the loud you want it to be just a loud start up from the engine haven’t been told any problems from dealership just went couple days ago so it’s all good 👍🏻
First off when a engine is breaking in they tend to use oil and for the injector issue that happens to all cars that have an injectors so it's not an issue parts fail
Add oil catch cans! To solve your pcv issues.
Lem Xiong why do you have to add something to your car when it’s the manufacturer’s flaw?
Too many issues ima get a rcf instead lol
If I'm buy a q50 don't do any racing just a family car should I buy a q50 3.0 or red Sport
2016 Redsport 45k miles . Fuel injector and fuel rail fail . Covered under warranty .
I am thinking of buying this exact car...it has a paint defect on the drivers door but low mileage. Great price...but worry about getting it repainted and it does match the rest of the car or getting one from the yard.
40k 2017 Q60 with JB4. No issue.
What about now?
@@m.dluffy5143 Switched to Racebox ECUTEK tune. Still reliable. The only problem I had was the belt
Nice..
2016 RS400 with a little over 19K. No issues.
Obviously
I change my oil every 3,500 miles . Bought the car brand new .. thanks god I was covered by warranty
PVC shoes, or plastic polyvinyl chloride, is a type of plastic that provides a broad range of protection from chemicals.
You probably Saveed me good money I’m shopping for Q50 3.7 but most of them are upper mileage so I wanted to get something low miles I see now that’s probably not gonna work out too well
It looks like my water pump is not sealed right and is leaking but not dramatically. Not overheating either . Taking it to dealership Wednesday. 16 q50 3.0t
Zero issues at 15K. 2017 Q60RS 👌
Love you man! Hoping for that 400z knowledge before it drops
35k 0 issue
80k miles no issues !!!!!
I don’t think any car should have issues at 15k miles wtf? Lol
100 miles, no issue, clean as new.
I just had to replace a shredded serpentine belt at 54,000 miles on my 2018 Q50 3.0t. A friend of mine did some research and sent me the service bulletin you mentioned. The service introduction date was November 2017…. I’m wondering if the early model 2018s may still have the same misaligned AC compressor.
Bought mine(16redsport) at 28k used its about to reach 100k now all I've noticed is that it burn oil 😂
Got a redsport a 78k right now 50/50 on selling it before depreciation and of blows or not
The issue I had was a Turbo went out,it blow alot of thick smoke had it in the shop runs good but have alot of concern
I just bought a 2016 Q50 Premium Plus with 53k miles, I just noticed the car makes a noise and shudders when I turn the ignition off. Anyone know what the issue is or if this is normal? Please let me know.
That's a lot of miles especially for turbo car hopefully you got extended warranty. And the issue you speak of I never heard of
What do you mean a lot of miles for a turbo car ? Some turbo trucks have 80k miles and that's still low miles for the engine
Update is your car good???
@@goldenkiller1st636 Yah, it runs perfectly fine. The car just gives a shake when you turn the ignition off.
I got the 2017 Premium at 13,000 miles my belt shredded itself. left me stranded at work. Infiniti sent out a truck and towed my car to the dealer. put me in another car while mine was being fixed. they took good care of me. it is a known problem and nothing comes out of pocket. they will fix it for free and any other damages will be covered by your warranty.
Why did it shred itself
Great video! I’am currently on the market looking for an Infiniti 2013/2012 G37x or 2016/2017 Q50. So far I have found a 2017 Q50 Premium 3.0t. I went to go check it out this past weekend, I took it for a test drive for about 30mins. The Gears were shifting really smooth, didn’t hear no rattle or anything. But when I got back to the dealership, I turned off the car for 10mins and I started checking the oil, and noticed they haven’t kept up with it maintenance, the oil was low and black, the engine was making this tic noise, and that’s because I believe it’s due to the low oil since they haven’t done an oil change on the vehicle. So my question is, after watching this video, is it even worth getting the car?
did u get it?
Boss i have 2018q50 red sport only cuts 1500 miles .. i am feeling that my car torque not like before ... what you think the issue ?
Mohammed El Sanousi I feel like u got used to it so you’re wanting more torque🤝🏁🏁
Hope they fix this issue when they put the vr30 in 400z.
I have a sound like a lawnmower on my 2018 q50 2.0t 75t miles only here it when the car is traveling when I stop sound goes away
The valve bodies are notorious for crapping out too..
That is a fact! I have an fx45 and once the egine oil light turned on but like u said it was almost to late. I caught it as soon as I was coming to a red light and I pressed my brake a little harder than normal. The oil light popped on and I pulled over and checked it. It was no oil due to taking it in for service an the tech didnt tighten the oil pan screw down specific torque and oil leaked from the engine oil pan screw. At the end the oil was replaced and the oil screw and all is well. So check that oil with your infiniti every 3 weeks or 4.
This is why you see so many catch cans on aftermarket turbo cars, if you don’t know what a oil catch cans purpose is then go learn about them. Great insightful video, I’m Lexus fan but damn Nissan makes some tempting rides
You don't need catch cans on this car. If you don't know what catch cans are do some research. And I'm glad you are a Toyota fan.
I have a 2016 RedSport,I took to Infiniti to check the belts and they said my is fine......
I have a 2016 AWD Q50 3.0t Premium and shredded the drive belt at 40k and am currently having overheating issues at 57k miles. Factory warranty ends at 60k but extended warranty ends at 97k miles. Phew.
Just had my injectors go out 2016 Q50 RS and had them replaced at the dealership, I also had my fuel rail replaced.... Too all my VR30 people save up your pennies... they hit me for $4000!!!
Thanks for pointing out the issues..
are the 2018 good cars???? I want to buy one now I’m freaking out lol
Did you buy one ?😂😂😂 I’m on the same boat
@@Wopdela.Bdid any of you buy one? 😂I’m looking now at one
2017 Q50. I had a rattling on the front right passenger side of the car, only from a cold start. Infiniti, ended up replacing the turbo saying it went bad... 3 weeks later the driver’s side started making the same exact noise, but they say it’s the high pressure fuel pump and not the turbo... smh
Had my 2019 Q50 belt break
I had a 2016 Q50 3.0T and never and issue, I enjoyed it so much that I traded it in for a 2019 Q50S...love it even more! My original Q50 had nearly 60k miles. I originally owned a 2003 G20, boy have these cars changed!
Correction, I owned a 2002 G20, had the original sticker at home, 5 speed manual, 25k.
Nice
2019 Luxe 38k without any issues. JB4 installed the past 5k. The only issue was the stock run flats that popped at less than 5k. Frequent oil changes about every 5-6k.
Now at 47k no issues
King David thanks for the update
I was at 88k and my engine blew a day after a oil change. I really think it's the dealers negligence but they are claiming a piston blew. They are trying to charge me over 4 grand for a replacement engine. I'm really disappointed with Infiniti over this issue.
@@KingDavidPraiseYHWH what was the reason ?
@@KingDavidPraiseYHWH so what was the reason? i usually do my oil changes at 3k, It may be overkill but mine is heavily modified and I drive hard on it majority of the time because it’s so much fun.
2016 q50 vr30tt 65,000 water pump leaking found it before it became a bad leak.. the pump itself leaked not the gasket..
Good info here. Btw, infinity with an oil issue? Weird. Lol anyone remember the g35
g35 would litterally drink oil. bu the time you go for an oil change your oil will be on L SIDE of dipstick. might as well just add it instead of changing it lol
One of my fav rapper lately
I have a intermittent electronic issue. They key will just flat out not work and bluetooth to my phone will just crap out.
Dam that sucks under warranty?
Erick Torres try to take the SD card out and then put it back in, that’s what I did to fix the problem
2017 Q60 owner here and my turbo and engine blew. Car has only 58,000 miles. I barely push my car and have no idea how it could have happened
Low oil or maybe the head gasket went
@@BoostInMotion it did have full exhaust, burger intercooler, intakes, blow off valves, oil catch can and a jb4 tune. Could that have been it? The car was okay on oil and wasn’t low at the time.
Okay that changes everything mileage is high on those turbos too.
@@aliu_q60a26 they blew at the same time?
@@michaela2759 I believe so. Dealership said medal shavings got into the engine. my guess is because of the turbos going. Everything was replaced under warranty and then I ended up getting the extended warranty
I had the dreaded belt issue last week. The AC compressor is miss aligned. Caused the belt to creep forward and then shred. The belt took out my trans hose, two pulleys were damaged and a tensioner. This issue is legit and can be very catastrophic. It almost cost me the trans. Infiniti is aware and did replace everything under warranty but if it’s out of warranty and it causes the trans to go then the trans isn’t covered because the issue (the belt) which caused the trans to go isn’t covered. (If that makes sense) I highly recommend checking this routinely. I had it at the dealer three times prior to this issue and they still didn’t catch it so beware. I’m also FBO and tuned and the dealer didn’t say squat because they are aware of this reoccurring issue.
Bullitt 78 they likely won’t get that far. In very few cases I’ve seen the belts come off but most of them that come in are concerns of belt squeal. We loosen the compressor and move it back a few millimeters. It’s very unlikely these cars are going past the 60k mark without the concern being addressed
16 Q50 Prem 3.0t - had belt squeak, tsb repar performed, good to go.
