Infiniti twin turbo VR30 TT common issues !!!

[@alexandersantibanez5850]

Mr. Boost, my belt shredded at about 52k miles (2017 Q50 Red), and had no idea this was an issue. After looking under the hood and seeing what the problems was, I googled how to change the belt, and found your video. A buddy found the belt after four tries (Houston, Southside), and even though you didn't have a layout, we used it with another image to get the job done in the dark. (You weren't kidding about that tensioner). At the dealer for my next service, they said I had some damaged to other houses and belts under the carriage, and that the price would be starting at $1100. I used the INFORMATION YOU GAVE ME(!!!!) about Nissan knowing about this issue to have them call Nissan and HAVE IT DONE FOR FREE EVEN THOUGH MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I'm glad you came up on my frantic search, and I owe ya one. Spreading the love!

[@gtmike916]

Issue 1 fix : Get the car checked out. Issue 2 fix : Get a catch can or air/oil separator. Issue 3 fix : Make sure you use the right fuel.

I have read some scary stuff on the Q50 forums about engines being replaced. The old VQ37 was almost maintenance free but this car will require bmw levels of maintenance. My best advice for Q50/60 buyers is if you can't afford a big repair bill PLEASE get a warranty. I know how stressful repairs can be and it isn't worth it.

[@corinnemaynard2824]

I've had my 2014 Q50 3.7 AWD for almost 2 years and she's been great. Just got my oil changed and tires done today and was told for my next appt we should do spark plugs and I know I also need a valve cover gasket. So I'll get both done at the same time since it's apart anyway. She's just shy of 100k and I absolutely love my car. My last car was a dodge crapvenger. Now that was a nightmare of a money milker. While the infiniti definitely isn't cheap, I'll still take it over something that needs repairs every week. Seems all vehicles these days are a crapshooot. All we can do is research some stuff we like and narrow down the choices. Nothings gonna be perfect and there will always be lemons, or something not properly put together no matter the brand. People build cars and everyone has off days. The quality of a Friday built car may not be the same as a Monday built car for example. It's luck of the draw, some will have positive experiences and some will not. 2 years in for me and I would not choose another car over this one.

[@aeroman5239]

@@ili.qfiddy The VR30DDTT engine has alot of potential. Last fall, my Q60 Red Sport put down 437 WHP & 502 WTQ on a DynoJet AWD dyno w/93 octane. One more note on oil changes, I take a sample of oil at every oil change and send it to Blackstone Labs for analysis. For $28, I can track how much metal is in the oil, and just as important, how much fuel is in the oil. With Direct Injection, fuel dilution is a concern, and can reduce viscosity over time. I found I shouldn't go over 5k miles between changes, as the fuel dilution reduced my 5W30 to a 5W20 in one sample. YMMV... I'll also be running a Catch Can soon... Mishimoto has released a nice setup for the VR30DDTT for $200 (pre-order). It will be available in March 2019.

This engine will be going into the new Z. This is a concern. Now I’m having second thoughts about the purchase. Supra maybe the way to go.

[@skipgumphrey9579]

Have a friend who’s a Master Tech for Toyota for over 20 years and he says their shop is ALWAYS full of Supra’s. Said it’s a total piece of garbage and he’s pretty sure Toyota regrets ever getting involved with BMW on it.

[@genarocobianjr6983]

Great videos! I’m looking to buy a q50 soon and all your videos are very helpful

[@OdalysPov]

Hey, do you have a video of things you should replace when you first buy a q50 3.0 , if not you should make one

[@brunosales2311]

That’s exactly what this is...

[@luisiferz]

Just bought a used 2016 Q50 3.0T with 40k miles two weeks ago and I'm noticing hot air blowing through the cockpit every time I take it out for a drive. A/C is off, recirculation is off (even turned it on to see if it'll make a difference) and nope, still feel hot air, and at times it feels like my heated sears turn on by themselves as well while I'm driving I wish I would've seen this video before purchasing a 2016 model You think I should take it to the dealer and see if I can get my engine replaced?

blend door issue

[@ziggylewis477]

Ohhh man so much information, I was starting to worry saw oil in intakes not much just a lil in both thanks for the info.

[@raya74]

Hey! What do u think of the 17 q50s twin turbo v6 would u buy or stay away?

[@LeoSong12]

Add oil catch cans! To solve your pcv issues.

[@jetskifisherman9214]

Lem Xiong why do you have to add something to your car when it’s the manufacturer’s flaw?

[@ashinejowreal8345]

Too many issues ima get a rcf instead lol

[@carloscervantes4906]

I have a 2018 Silversport Q50 and the issue that I have with my vehicle is a rattling noise when either power braking or simply reving the engine. Took it to infiniti and they claimed it's normal? They said it's something in the Wastegate that rattles? Any input?

[@BoostInMotion]

Some people said the heat shield rattles. Also i don't have wastegate rattle. Buy some people complain about it

[@michaelmoore5602]

Your wastegate is electronically controlled not vacuum operated like a lot of turbo cars are. With electronically controlled mechanical devices you will get noise. Also your injectors are very loud due to direct injection. Those injectors have very tight tolerances with will also make noise. Noise that can be different from car to car

[@BoostInMotion]

Agreed

[@hawkman8835]

Infiniti tech here. The mechanical wastegates do make a little bit of noise. While it may sound abnormal it is actually a normal operating condition

[@mangomatt15]

Love your videos bro, been watching for about 3 years now. Question for you: do you think that there are more issues with the 2017 Q50 twin turbos opposed to the 2016 and 2018 models?

[@strikejazz7861]

Don't forget the Q50s had oil sticks that were too long so all thought oil .even was fine but actually very low.

[@OnlyCelian]

Just got a 2018 q50 luxe but just yesterday noticed when I turned the car off it was making a hissing sound like when you pour hot water on a pan or sum any idea what that is ?

[@Leonmoparr]

How’s it holding? I’m looking to get same car with 50k miles

[@stephencannon3140]

Sounds like your validating my 3.7 purchase and getting the Q70 instead of the Q50.

[@tremainebrown7057]

The issue I had was a Turbo went out,it blow alot of thick smoke had it in the shop runs good but have alot of concern

[@boxingfan5742]

2016 RS400 with a little over 19K. No issues.

[@Efreet17]

Obviously

[@patriciocardoza8845]

2016 q50 vr30tt 65,000 water pump leaking found it before it became a bad leak.. the pump itself leaked not the gasket..

[@jonbank7569]

Infiniti is replacing my engine and turbos now with only 24,000 miles. It started running hot yesterday. They found metal and coolant in the oil pan.

[@los33010]

I change my oil every 3,500 miles . Bought the car brand new .. thanks god I was covered by warranty

[@Guggeranut]

I have a 2016 q50. Ive had it since new and now have 67,000 on it, unfortunately Ive had my rear diff seal replaced and also the biggest has been that both turbos needed to be replaced at 65,000. For some reason the oil seals blew. I dont beat on the car and its completely stock. My wife does drive it from time to time, but who knows. Other than that car has been fine.

[@BoostInMotion]

That's a lot of miles i wonder the mileage for these stock turbos

[@vanndaleyalexiarang]

Was it pricey getting your turbos replaced?

[@Guggeranut]

@@BoostInMotion Yea I was hoping at least 80k

[@Guggeranut]

@@vanndaleyalexiarang No it was at no cost due to warranty.

[@vanndaleyalexiarang]

Guggeranut gotcha 😃 that’s good

[@angelsoto8989]

So I should be ok with used 2018 q50 t turbo?

[@camaross475]

Some really good information, definitely will help me pick out a good pre owned q50

[@davidlazo6237]

Did you go for the 3.0t or 3.7? I’m currently trying to decide myself.

[@cdc4355]

I just bought a 2016 Q50 Premium Plus with 53k miles, I just noticed the car makes a noise and shudders when I turn the ignition off. Anyone know what the issue is or if this is normal? Please let me know.

[@BoostInMotion]

That's a lot of miles especially for turbo car hopefully you got extended warranty. And the issue you speak of I never heard of

[@codycis]

What do you mean a lot of miles for a turbo car ? Some turbo trucks have 80k miles and that's still low miles for the engine

[@goldenkiller1st636]

Update is your car good???

[@cdc4355]

@@goldenkiller1st636 Yah, it runs perfectly fine. The car just gives a shake when you turn the ignition off.

16 50RS 63k on it had a injector go out at 50 they replaced under warranty and I believe I'm developing the belt issue making some noise otherwise been a fantastic car

[@mikes1975]

2016 Redsport 45k miles . Fuel injector and fuel rail fail . Covered under warranty .

[@dresheraton9276]

I am thinking of buying this exact car...it has a paint defect on the drivers door but low mileage. Great price...but worry about getting it repainted and it does match the rest of the car or getting one from the yard.

[@aliu_q60a26]

2017 Q60 owner here and my turbo and engine blew. Car has only 58,000 miles. I barely push my car and have no idea how it could have happened

[@BoostInMotion]

Low oil or maybe the head gasket went

[@aliu_q60a26]

@@BoostInMotion it did have full exhaust, burger intercooler, intakes, blow off valves, oil catch can and a jb4 tune. Could that have been it? The car was okay on oil and wasn’t low at the time.

[@BoostInMotion]

Okay that changes everything mileage is high on those turbos too.

[@michaela2759]

@@aliu_q60a26 they blew at the same time?

[@aliu_q60a26]

@@michaela2759 I believe so. Dealership said medal shavings got into the engine. my guess is because of the turbos going. Everything was replaced under warranty and then I ended up getting the extended warranty

I was really thinking of buying a Q50 3.0T and after reading all this comments and idk what to think , I was looking at a 2016 with 28k miles any advice ?
