Hi, your video on the Nissan Qashqai Tekna is very helpful 👍 I am trying to find out which engine oil i should be using for my 2015 model. Nissan Qashqai 1 5L Tekna. Diesel
Hi! Great video, thanks a million for uploading! I recently bought my first car, a 2018 Nissan Qashqai 1.2 DiG-T N-Connecta 5dr manual in UK. The dealer serviced it before delivery. Now, I have some maintenance questions and will appreciate if you can please answer them: Question 1. Engine oil: Should I check the engline oil level monthly through dipstick and top it up to the max as soon as it's level drops even slightly? (I'm new to car care and want to learn more. Please excuse if my questions sound silly 😃) Question 2. Fluids: Should I buy coolant and brake fluid and engine oil to keep at home and check levels regularly? If so, what brands do you recommend for my car? Question 3. Servicing: I was told by few that I should buy above mentioned fluids and air and oil filters at Euro Car Parts and hand them over to mechanic at the time of car servicing to save on costs. Is this a good idea? Lastly should I specifically ask the mechanic to check and top up gearbox oil during servicing? (Please note that I don't know if my manual Qashqai needs gearbox/transmission oil). Thanks!
That shelf fitting under the 2 covers in the thrunk ... mind blowing! hehe you saved me a lot of fuzz!! when ever i removed it i either had it on the back seats or left it at home! Thanks man!
Thanks Dan, was about to strip down access to the boot lock mechanism, as it was showing unlocked on the dash ,but was closed. But a fiddle with the boot button has sorted it out. Cheers
Hi, thank you for your excellent tips. Is slightly reducing oil normal for Qashqai? I saw the black foam engine cover with something like oil stain or wet on it, mine has the same recently noticed it not before, what could it bee?
hi Dan brilliant review n tips, i jus got myself 64 plate qashqai 1.2 petrol orderd a parcel shekf from Ebay but i can't seem to fit it? should jus slide in shouldn't it.? The parcel shelf i ordered looks exactly like urs in video. Are there any fitments to attach to board i havent any plastic hinge type things to sit it on?? should there be some
I never knew the boot shelves could be kept slotted in the bottom section, previous owner took them out and never used them, but me being a new owner im learning all these useful things from your videos!
Excellent. New convert to Qashqai from IX35 Brilliant videos and far easier than reading the handbook. You have unlock a lot of mysteries. Very grateful.
Unless I've missed something on my Qashqai, I hate how you can't open the boot from inside the car, mine doesn't seem to have a "Boot" switch to open it, I have to manually get out and go around the back of the car to open it, a feature u find very odd to be missing since even some of the super old cars all have a way of opening the boot from the driver's seat
Hi, I am seeing oil in the boot. Even after I cleaned and the car is just idle for a day. Saw the oil again the next day. Any suggestions what could be the issue
Hello Dan, , I experienced the engine bay rattle you described today. Thanks for sharing this. Would you mind also sharing what damping material you buy and installing tips? Thanks!
i always learn a little something from your vids.for some reason my door mirrors will not automatically close/open i have to use the button i have a 2014 techna J11.. maybe mine is faulty or it's too old?
These series of videos are great, I'm learning so much about my Tecna, thanks to you. One thing bugging me, I would like to change my display from mph to kph, I'm sure you have the answer, thanks in advance 👍😁
Good vid. When I am trying to put my car in the garage in reverse. The drive is on quite a steep slope away from the garage. The car will not sit still in reverse on the autobox, but just rolls forward like a manual gearbox. I have a quashai 2019 tekna. My old mondeo auto would sit on the slope of the drive when I was in auto reverse!
We just got a 2019 2.0 litre and can't work out why there is some silly plastic cover over the top of the battery that is attached to the air intake. It seems like a total waste and every other Qashqai I have seen is like this one with the battery fully exposed.
Great video, helped a lot. After driving the car I realised I couldn't hear the automatic door locks activating after a certain speed. Does the car have automatic door locks or do you have to manually lock the car before driving the car? If not do you know how to activate automatic locking? Thanks
Great info Dan , one tip for locking the wipers was good , but has any worked out how to take of the stock blades with the tab you have to twist and lift , took me a while to work out , now i just need to find what BOSCH blades fit.
Hi Dan, siiick video, I’ve just bought a used 2015 plate Tekna, the rear camera is proper filthy, any special recommendations of what to clean it with? I’m worried about permanently damaging it
Dan, just been watching this video again and reminded me about my windscreen wash bottle. The top keeps coming loose. I fit it properly after filling it up, with those two clips/sticky out bits, and then when I check under the bonnet again, that damn thing has come undone. Is this common?
Was just about to comment while watching your video before you touched on the annoying rattle on the air intake, I’m hoping it’s that, I’ll give it a go!! If you could, a photo would be extra helpful of how you’ve done the foam
Hello sir and thank you for the informative videos, a car i intend to buy has an android KitKat head unit, it's stock, it's possible to enable Android auto or car play on it? Qashqai 2016
My 2017 1.2 Qashqai sometimes alarms when I open the boot. It usually happens if I don't open another door first. I can cancel it with the key. Does anyone else have this annoyance?
Great video, I'm was contemplating buying a 65 plate tekna, but on reviews there's a concern on reliability (multiple faults, battery, infotainment console etc), in your honest opinion and experience, would you recommend going ahead with my search for a qashqai tekna 1.5
I'd say yes. There are so many qashqai on the road that there will always be ones with issues. Battery is a common fault but if you buy from a dealer with a decent warranty they'll sort it. Or check before purchase Infotainment wise I'm not sure what you've heard? Just look for one with good service history and you should be fine.
Hey Dan, just wondered if you might do a video on how to regas your model if you've ever tried it and what type of gas we might need on this model? I know you point this out in one of your videos very briefly but I can't seem to remember which. Thanks a million.
Hi bud. I don't regas the car myself. As for which gas,there's a sticker on the slam panel under the bonnet, or on the underside of the bonnet itself .
I own this diesel & it's a brilliant car, but the plastics & rubbers in the engine bay do cause rattles & creaking. I now get mine serviced at a small independent garage, where I can talk directly to the mechanic . Fed up trying to explain things to a receptionist, at the main dealership. Main dealers need to have a trained technician, at the customer service interface.
Hi Bill, there is actually a trick you can do to disable that. I've found out that the stop/start system is not good for the battery and that Nissan Qashqai actually don't have very good battery in them either. Here is a video in Spanish that will show you th-cam.com/video/EGJT8BVUnVg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=JorgePerez Here is another video in English that will explain with photos. th-cam.com/video/WUBgAoSzRes/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=La_Palmeraie Good luck!
Hi bud. Yeah to be honest I've had a few issues. Main one so far was the blocked exhaust pressure pipe, I've shown the fix in another video. Also have a fault with the rear parking sensors that's just started. I know the fix for that, got the part on order and will upload that vid when it's done. Other then that, no real issues.
You should have a button by the rear view mirror to disable the interior sensors. Have you had your battery tested? Could be a sign of that needing replacement
@@TheQashqaiGuy I have the same model that you have, it has place for jack and other things but I only Recieved a compressor with it, the other compartments are empty. Should it be like that?
Hi Alan, has it gone from the contents if you keep pushing up or down to cycle through the different displays? If so, look for a option under settings called contents selection, it's probably been accidentally turned off.

Hi, I have a handle with a cable in the driver's footwell on the opposite side of the fuel & bonnet lever is it to open the boot from inside the car?
I have a 19 plate 1.3 DIG-T Tekna & the Sat Nav Voice Command is bad when road numbers are mentioned. Does that happen to yours?
I have to be honest. I've had the voice announcements turned off since day one. So I'm not sure I'm afraid!
Great video, helped a lot. After driving the car I realised I couldn't hear the automatic door locks activating after a certain speed. Does the car have automatic door locks or do you have to manually lock the car before driving the car? If not do you know how to activate automatic locking?

It isn't possible on this model. You can get a module from alliexpress if you really want it.
Great videos QQG. Have you done one to automate the hatchback to open and close? I did try searching but nothing came up. Cheers.
The cost is ridiculous and the kits can cause damage to the bodywork so I've chosen not to pursue it.
Great info Dan , one tip for locking the wipers was good , but has any worked out how to take of the stock blades with the tab you have to twist and lift , took me a while to work out , now i just need to find what BOSCH blades fit.
Great review. would you recommend the Diesel or Petrol engine for daily city usage where there is hills with approximately 40 km per day. Thanks
In the current climate diesels are becoming too expensive to own in most circumstances. In your case I'd definitely recommend the petrol.
Hi Dan, siiick video, I’ve just bought a used 2015 plate Tekna, the rear camera is proper filthy, any special recommendations of what to clean it with? I’m worried about permanently damaging it
It should really clean easily with a damp cloth.
Hy Dan, i have an Nissan Qashqai 2016 and i need your help.
How can i cativate the horn sound when i lock/unlock the car?
Thank you
Hi I don't think it's possible I'm afraid.
It's not a thing on the uk cars
I can't get the boot shelves at the lower position. It looks like they stuck with the holder for the upper position. Any advice?
They should slot in from the boot lip end
Did you know that when you press and hold the unlock button on the fob all four windows will open, and vice versa with the lock button.
Dan, just been watching this video again and reminded me about my windscreen wash bottle. The top keeps coming loose. I fit it properly after filling it up, with those two clips/sticky out bits, and then when I check under the bonnet again, that damn thing has come undone. Is this common?
Hmmm not sure. Mine stays on but I must admit it's not exactly hard to pop open. Can't really think what you could use to secure it better 🤔
Hi why is my rear camera j11 n tec not cleaning its self thanks in advance
Was just about to comment while watching your video before you touched on the annoying rattle on the air intake, I’m hoping it’s that, I’ll give it a go!! If you could, a photo would be extra helpful of how you’ve done the foam
I'll try and get one tomorrow. I basically just lined the outer part with sticky backed foam. Same sort of stuff you get to stop draft
Sorry for asking this but I caanot find the button for opening the boot from the driver’s seat.
There isn't one
Hello sir and thank you for the informative videos, a car i intend to buy has an android KitKat head unit, it's stock, it's possible to enable Android auto or car play on it? Qashqai 2016
I would have thought that's an aftermarket stereo.

@brianwitton5061 get the battery tested,most garages will do a free check for you
@@TheQashqaiGuy thanks mate.
can you let me know the width of the boot?
Have you ever had issues with the rear passenger windows that don't go down. Works from the driver's controls but not from the seat.
Have you checked the safety button hasn't been pressed?
@@TheQashqaiGuy Where can i find that :s
I think it's a button with a lock sign on it
@@TheQashqaiGuy Oh no, when that is off the passenger still cannot put their windows down
I'd check the switch on the door then, if you have a continuaty tester use that whilst someone presses the switch

Just unfortunately let down by the Renault side of things. That's the engine and electrics!
are all engines in qashqai made by Renault?? I have a 1.2 petrol i hope thats a Japanese engine😮
@@Pure809That is also a Renualt TCE engine (which is not a bad thing)

You should have a button by the rear view mirror to disable the interior sensors.
Have you had your battery tested? Could be a sign of that needing replacement
How to open the bonnet
Pull the latch in drivers footwell then there's another latch above the nissan badge under the bonnet
