What's up with my Qashqai?
My nissan qashqai 2011 when it's cold weather (4 degrees or below) on its first trip out of the day for the first few miles it won't go over 3000 revs, I know it has a safety feature when is standing still but not whilst your in motion. Thank you
Our answer:
Hi Michael,
Assuming you have the 1.5-litre diesel model, there is a known issue with cracking in the pipe between intercooler and throttle control unit that causes a lack of power. It doesn't sound like this is definitely your issue, but well worth a look by an experienced mechanic.
