THE ONLY THING THAT LETS THESE 1.5DCI ENGINES DOWN UNBELIEVABLE COMMON FAULT!!!!

[@davidmehlhorn726]

Had this engine in my old Qashqai when at just shy of 400,000 miles, and on Xmas eve last year, an injector went as myself and the kids were on the way over to see their nana. Car was hesitating to accelerate and then the engine management light came on and the car went into limp mode. Managed to nurse it home and then I spent my Xmas eve taking out the injector, stripping it down and leaving the parts to soak in wynns dpf cleaning fluid over Xmas. Reassembled the injector on Boxing Day and put it back in the car and it fired up and problem solved. When the motor factors opened in the new year, I put in a new fuel filter as I suspected dirty fuel. Car ran fine up to the point I sold it last March with over 400k on the clock. It’s a great engine but I found a common fault was with a plastic turbo intake pipe that would snap in half roughly every two years.

Well done Baz keep the mother in law happy mate you'll get a good Sunday dinner

[@jonsayce7756]

Baz, slow down man you'll burn yourself out. Great video as always but take a break, you deserve it!

[@robertwdavenport7311]

Baz you are a technician ,I once owned a Ford focus 1.6 Tdci it started chuffing & the black death on 2 of the injectors, 1 mechanic said sorry it won't budge . So I cleaned of as much black carbon as possible a different mechanic Pete soaked the injector in a solution to break down the carbon , he told me he nearly lifted the car of the ground before it finally popped out , all the rest came out easy .

[@RikAindow]

If the washer has failed, a horrible tar-like mess gets blown by the injector and it sets like glue.

[@scotspie501douglas7]

great video Baz my last company car was a quaskai but what a car never missed a beat in 5x years

[@georgedaville4662]

Nice little job Baz, went ok, topped up the Brownie points - jobs a good one! Hopevyou enjoyed your Sunday afternoon.👍

[@I2383R]

We had an injector so called fail on our Renault grand senic 2015 ,pluged in our kingbolan 600 cleared the coad and its been fine ever since touch wood 1 year on. Great engines.great car.

[@petecurran3995]

Nice 1, Baz, a myther-free job is always a winner!

[@we-are-electric1445]

The metal pipe running north to south to the intercooler is usually only held on with a spring clip (right at the back of the engine ) - just pull it with a hooked screwdriver (not too hard or it will disappear down the back of the engine bay) and there is probably 1 10 mil to remove and you should be able to move it enough to get that stupid plastic cover off. To free the injector there is usually a flat you can put a 13 mm spanner on to rotate the injector - moves them even when they are pretty stuck. Them injector hole cleaning kits are great but make sure they are decent ones with no loose wire. If the wires come loose they will probably fall into the cylinder and sods law get stuck under the valve as soon as you start the engine !

I just purchased a 2010 Qashqai 1.5dci. I have no service history for it besides a timing belt sticker. I've been doing some servicing and repairs on it. It was dead cheap. 98,000. Hopefully it gets me by for a few years. I do a lot of miles.

[@GhostLead65]

Great work Baz.Those 1.5dci don,t seem too bad.

[@Doctor00-786]

Finally a job without any drama, I bet you needed that. Enjoy your weekend Baz, you earned it.

[@priteshchampaneri5101]

Had several Renaults, so had my mum with the 1.5 dci, we never had problems with them, they're good engines for what they are! I highly rate them! My mums just upgraded her 1.5 dci 17 plate Renault Scenic to a 20 plate 1.7 dci Scenic, just hope the 1.7 is reliable as the 1.5

[@AntonioToma-q2j]

Interesting point you make re the 1.5dCi engine when installed in a Renault: over the past decade or so I've owned a Mégane Sport tourer and Scenic X-MOD, both with the 105ps version of that engine, covered over 70,000miles in both and never had a single issue with the injectors. In contrast, a then new in 2019, Nissan NV200 campervan we had with the 110ps version of that same engine, broke down on three separate occasions due to injector failure. First occasion it had to be trailered back home from Wales by the RAC. Second occasion, months later, locally, it went in to Limp-home mode but I was close enough to the local Nissan dealer for me to drive it there...slowly. Third occasion, and this is the iconic one, I'd gone to collect it after the above mentioned 'breakdown' . The service manager had gone into the workshop to drive the NV200 around to the front forecourt, but was gone for a good ten minutes or so. He then very sheepishly reappeared without the vehicle to tell me a third injector had just failed!!! We sold the NV200 shortly after that having only covered 17,000miles and whilst it was still in warranty as we'd lost faith in it!

[@RumpleXStiltXSkin]

Even you wrote cylinder 3 on the pipe …..its 1 or 2 you have removed 😂

[@tomcurran65]

That went well alright, I'd say Jimmy was just checking was that was the Juke you put a timing belt on a few weeks ago! Also he probably sensed the injector out and was concerned about potential DPF issues 😄

[@bazmeredith]

Yes it was the one I put the belt on the other week buddy 🤙

[@paulefc1971]

My daughter, her boyfriend and their 3 month old baby were going on holiday in one of these a few years ago, the car came to a stand halfway up a hill on the A30 in Cornwall, injectors was the fault with that as well

[@Gneeznow]

One of the more aggravating things about these engines, since they are always fitted backwards in whatever car they're in (including the Scenic) is you can't check the damn turbo since it's at the back of the engine when you're buying one.

[@priteshchampaneri5101]

My mums just upgraded her 1.5 dci scenic to a 1.7 dci scenic, the Turbo is at the front, easy access much better I think!

[@AlanMartin-lc5di]

Good one Baz, the car gods are back shining on you again, what do you use to clean the engines when your finished?

[@bazmeredith]

Great video Baz. You like these 1.5 DCi engines then? Are they generally reliable? I was always concerned they're a bit on the small size for some of the larger cars they end up in.

[@bazmeredith]

Hi Baz, just wondering what brand of torque wrench's your using to tighten fasteners? The one in the video seems similar to the Sealey Brand, am i right?

[@mastercreative1]

So we get an idea of labour charge ? Can you say whether it was 30 minute job/ 1hr etc ?

Iv’e done a few injectors on Jukes but i don’t remember seeing the Peugeot/Citroen badge on the injector plugs before

[@gmtgmt123]

That Handel for injector, do you have part nr for that?

[@makinmemoriesflorist347]

Injector electrics we’re marked up with Citroen and Peugeot badges so is it more them than Renault

[@RikAindow]

It'll likely be the same management system or at least, the connectors to the injectors. My Mondeo uses the same style of injector connection and the management on mine is Siemens.

I always have trouble with the Continental injectors on these...
