Nissan Qashqai - Video tutorial

Model: Nissan Qashqai J11 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How to eliminate an unusual noise that occurs on QashqaI when turning.

Have you ever heard an annoying "knock" when you turn your Nissan Qashqai? Let's see how to fix it: let's look at the steering column, between the pedals. We remove the cover, with a screwdriver or a coin we remove the plastic screws that fix the cover, then we need a 16 mm bushing, and check that it is well tightened. Then we see inside, a plastic cap, which may have dried up a bit over time. Lubricate it with spray grease (not silicone) and we should fix the noise. To make the spray grease go down better, help it with the tip of the screwdriver. Now let's open the bonnet and go and see another point that can make noise; the top of the shock absorber, and the nut we see can come loose; let's check it, both the one on the right and the one on the left. We get under the car, from under the front wheel. This is a bolt that holds the car down from under the front trapeze, but while we're at it let's take a look at all the bolts that go under here, the subframe of the car. And finally, the steering box, where we see the headset in the video, but this is the very last thing to do if we can't resolve it with the other things we've seen.

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.
