Model: Nissan Qashqai J11 - Years 2014-2022

To access the timing chain of the Nissan Qashqai, open the bonnet to reach the components inside the engine bay. Specifically, you will need to remove the cover from the top of the engine block and the one from its left side. Underneath, you will find the chain, which can be removed from its housing after the tensioner has been removed. This way, you can fit the new chain around the respective sprockets, tension it with the tensioner, and reassemble all previously removed components.
