How to Replace the Timing Chain on a Nissan Qashqai

Model: Nissan Qashqai J11 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Timing belt

To replace the timing chain on a Nissan Qashqai, open the bonnet to access the components in the engine bay. The chain is located on the left side of the engine block and will be accessible once the side cover and valve cover have been removed. By unscrewing the bolts that secure the chain tensioner, you can reduce the tension on the chain and fit a new one around the respective sprockets. At this point, remount the chain tensioner and all previously removed components.

How to Open the Bonnet on the Lancia Y

To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening. To do this, slightly lift the bonnet, locate the yellow lever underneath, and pull it to the left to fully release and open the bonnet.
