Question 1

Front lower arm bush wear (Qashqai J10)

Accepted Answer

The front lower suspension arm bushes wear out, giving knocks over bumps, vague steering and uneven tyre wear. Worn bushes are a common MOT advisory.

Question 2

CVT automatic judder and whining (Qashqai J10)

Accepted Answer

The CVT automatic gearbox can develop a whine, judder when pulling away, hesitation or 'rubber band' slipping, sometimes with the car going into limp mode. Old fluid and overheating accelerate wear.

Question 3

Air conditioning stops blowing cold (Qashqai J10)

Accepted Answer

The air conditioning on the Qashqai J10 commonly stops cooling due to a failed compressor clutch, a leaking condenser damaged by stone chips or a faulty pressure sensor.
