Have you ever heard an annoying "click" when steering your Nissan Qashqai? Let's see how to resolve it: check the steering column between the pedals. Remove the cover using a screwdriver or a coin to take out the plastic screws holding the cover in place, then you will need a 16 mm socket to ensure it is properly tightened.

Next, look inside for a plastic cap, which may have dried out over time. Lubricate it with spray grease (not silicone) to resolve the noise.

To help the spray grease flow better, use the tip of the screwdriver. Now open the bonnet and check another potential noise source; the top of the shock absorber, where the nut may become loose; check both the right and left sides.

Get underneath the car from under the front wheel. There is a bolt securing the car from underneath the front wishbone, but while you are there, inspect all the bolts underneath the subframe of the car. Finally, check the steering box; in the video, we see the gaiter, but this is the last thing to address if the previous checks do not resolve the issue.

How to Replace the Glow Plugs in the Fiat Ducato 2.3 Multijet?

Glow plugs, as the name suggests, raise the temperature of the engine in diesel vehicles to allow for easier starting. The manufacturer, in this case, Fiat for the Ducato 2.3 Multijet, specifies how often they should be replaced, and a warning light will illuminate when it's time. This work is carried out under the bonnet. First, remove the upper engine cover, then lift the coil and, using a socket wrench of the appropriate size, unscrew the glow plug to remove it from the base, followed by installing the new one.
