Nissan Qashqai - Video tutorial

Model: Nissan Qashqai J10 - Years 2006-2014
Part: Timing belt
Operation: Qashqai 1.5 DCI timing belt replacement

A vital component par excellence, the timing belt is one of the most important elements of the engine. Neglecting it means seriously endangering the life of the engine itself. In the event of breakage, you risk very serious and costly damage to the entire engine. The belt must be replaced (complete with pulleys and water pump) at intervals set by the parent company, generally 100,000 or even 120,000 km or 5 years. In fact, the material that composes it is subject to natural deterioration over time, as happens with tires. As for the specific Nissan model, powered by Nissan / Renault 1500 DCI engine, the Achilles heel are the bushings that are subject to premature wear. In fact, the parent company recommends their replacement when the belt / pulleys are replaced for the first time.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
