Lower Engine Mount Nissan Qashqai

I noticed such a nuisance, when starting from the front, a knock is heard from below. And when driving through large bumps, these bumps were very clearly audible.

And when changing the oil, I decided to deal with this problem, I started with the lower engine mount.

 

As I thought, it didn’t take long to look for the culprit of the blows, and everything became clear immediately after viewing the old torn pillow.

There was nothing to change and, having stuck a piece of rubber hose into the pillow, I had to return it back.

At first I wanted to order the original engine mount.

Nissan 11360-JD01B Left engine mount RUB 2

But after reading the forum of teammates, I decided to put an analogue of Logan or Megan 2.

Hans Pries 700553755 Lower engine support 850r.

By the number in the catalogs do not fight, but they fit perfectly!

Removing the old pillow and putting in a new one is very simple and it won’t take you more than 10 minutes, there are only two screws you need to unscrew, you don’t need to hang the motor .. but a flyover or a hole would not hurt.

 

Broken engine mounts from the engine mount cause a lot of inconvenience on the road: vibrations, knocks, jerks, deterioration in dynamics, etc., etc. Here you start to curse everything, and the single-mass flywheel “like in sleeves” and shock absorbers and struts. The most unpleasant thing is that while standing in a traffic jam in first gear, when you press the brake (when the engine holds with all its might so as not to stall), the car starts to rock wildly back and forth (should be shaking, not rocking - such control is applicable to a mechanical box) .. PPC unpleasant. In my case it was. The engine didn't seem to vibrate much. However, one day I decided to download it myself. That's where the broken top cushion came from. I'm even a fan of savings.” And the pillows are all reindeer. And for Renault they are produced by SASICH. 50000 mileage for pillows is not enough, but 5000 is better. I searched for a long time, read the forums and found a lot of interesting things. But then I remembered: I drive a Renault. And the pillows are all reindeer.

I'll start with the well-known Logan's lower ICE cushion, it is found in Qashqai. It is worth gumming regularly. In my case, it was like new. The pillow is very soft and made for comfort. However, due to its softness, the top cushion absorbs all impacts. Putting the engine in slime is a dubious invention of engineers. Fortunately, Renault has an interesting “sports” analogue of this device (not a homemade product (from NOISY), about which there is little information on the Internet (there are topics in the Logan Club), but a spare part, presumably it was replaced with a fluffy pillow, which costs from the factory) .

Its code is 82 00 500 928. SWAG has such a reinforced cushion (but swag does not have very good tires), or maybe someone else. 11238-3665R is probably suitable for Largus, it replaces the original 11360-JD01B rubber, which costs about three rubles (but in fact it is SASIC 4001814! The analogue for Logan is cheaper. was alive, but I put it harder.

 

back cushion

Nissan 11220-EL50A - the price is almost 4 rubles. Presumably, the new SASIC 4001823 is suitable, although this SASIC 4001334 is more like the original - they cost less than a thousand rubles. I did not find any alternatives (the lemforder costs almost 3 thousand). Rapro did not dare to take it, although the BMW KVKG hose made a good impression. I didn't change this pillow because mine is fine

Right front cushion. It also has a Renault badge on it, but unfortunately it's a Nissan. The Renault badge means a spare part. What car do we put HR16DE in? Lots of cars with this engine. There is such a pillow in Megan). However, after looking closely, I noticed that the front pillow is still a little (completely) different - I was confused by the area under the pillow where its anther is located. Having removed the pillow from the motor, I was convinced that it was worth taking a new one. 99% that it will fit. And I didn’t find anything worthy of analogues there. Is this a sasich for 3500? The price is normal. It was decided to buy a corteco pillow 80004557 (replacing the original Nissan Qashqai). It costs 5000 - the most suitable substitute for the price. Good.

Original codes Nissan 11210-JD000 and Nissan 11210-JD00A. Pillow Megan — Renault 82 00 549 046. The numbers are erased from above with a cortex. I woke up like a family.

Now about the actual replacement. Changed in the "field" conditions. Nothing complicated - we raise the car, put it on tripods in front,

How do you know when it's time to replace the engine mounts? If you notice any of the following symptoms. You need to contact the car service:

• steering wheel and shift lever vibrate with the engine
• on roads in poor condition, bumps and rattles are heard
• the beginning of movement in reverse is accompanied by a knock
• gears switch abruptly, sometimes the lever spontaneously returns to the neutral position - “knocks down” the gear

Trust the replacement of engine mounts only to professionals!

The Nissan Qashqai engine mount (pillow) is a metal element - steel or aluminum - with a rubber insert, which is designed to mount the unit to the car body. It can be in the form of a cylinder, block or drop. In good condition, such a mount partially dampens vibrations of the internal combustion engine (ICE), thereby preventing it from moving, and also prevents premature engine wear. It is necessary to replace the engine mounts in the presence of the slightest sign of their malfunction.

TYPES OF SUPPORTS

In addition to standard rubber and metal cushions, Nissan Qashqai business class vehicles use hydraulic cushions. They have two chambers separated by a movable membrane. The membrane dampens minor vibrations, such as when driving on a flat track or idling, and the chambers filled with hydraulic fluid eliminate harsh vibrations during sudden starts, braking and overcoming bumps. As for management, they can be:

1. Mechanical. They are developed individually for each car model: they either provide complete noise isolation from the car body at idle, but create insufficient damping when driving, or vice versa.
2. Electronic. With the help of sensors, such mounts can be adjusted to the degree of vibration of the motor, so they work equally well both with slight vibrations and with overloads.
3. Dynamic bearings are new. Inside its body is a special liquid with metal particles, which can change its viscosity under the influence of a magnetic field. Its condition is monitored by sensors that record information about the speed of the car, driving style and road conditions. Based on this, the density of the liquid changes, thereby regulating the rigidity.

 

CAUSES OF FAILURE

Natural wear of the Nissan Qashqai engine mounts occurs at 100 km. Even if after exceeding this mileage there are no signs of breakdowns, it is worth replacing the engine mounts at the next vehicle maintenance. The support is subjected to loads during the entire operation of the engine. Damage can occur under various circumstances:

1. Extreme driving style causes the pillows to experience significant overloads, reducing their service life by several times.
2. Constant rough running of the engine can lead to breakage of the teardrop bearing.
3. Working fluids (engine and transmission oil, coolants, brake fluid) melt it when in contact with the rubber element.
4. The ingress of dirt particles between the plates also destroys the rubber and acts as an abrasive on the aluminum.
5. Due to temperature changes, the sealant loses its plasticity - it hardens, acquires the properties of plasticity, and then becomes covered with cracks. Such a breakdown can also occur with newly installed high-quality parts. This will require a second Nissan Qashqai engine mount replacement.
6. Aluminum plates can also be damaged by severe frost, especially if the machine has not been used for a long time. Microcracks appear on them, which eventually lead to the destruction of the element.
7. Heat softens the aluminum and causes it to warp. Steel fasteners are considered more durable, however, they also have a rubber seal that can quickly collapse.

SIGNS OF PADDLE WEAR

As a rule, three or four engine mounts are used on Nissan Qashqai vehicles:

• right and left - attached to the side elements and the body;
• front - mounted on the front beam;
• the rear cushion of the internal combustion engine is mounted on a subframe or bottom.

However, in some cars there are only two pillows, the lower right one and the upper front one, and the rear one is common for the internal combustion engine and gearbox. Some symptoms of bearing failure will depend on the location of the rear element. Symptoms of a malfunction appear depending on the degree of damage to the pillows:

1. From a running Nissan Qashqai engine, vibration is transmitted to the body, steering wheel and gear lever (gearbox).
2. Overcoming bumps on the road is accompanied by bumps and gnashing of metal.
3. When starting in reverse, a push is felt.
4. The range switching of the Nissan Qashqai gearbox is jerky, sometimes hitting the gears.

It is worth noting that almost all of the listed signs are typical for breakdowns of other machine components: for example, the driver will not immediately associate shocks with a worn out pillow, but will suggest a breakdown of the shock absorber or stabilizer strut and a knocked out gear, with malfunctions in the box itself. Therefore, if these signs appear, you should immediately contact a car service, where an experienced mechanic will be able to determine whether the internal combustion engine mount needs to be replaced.

CONSEQUENCES OF OPERATING A CAR WITH FAULTY SUPPORTS

Since the pads are designed not only to create a shock absorber between the Nissan Qashqai engine and body, but also to dampen vibrations from the internal combustion engine itself, their increased wear will lead to a significant reduction in engine life. When working without elastic fasteners (linings), the vibration motor can desynchronize its own mechanisms: due to increased wear of parts, noise and knocks will appear during its operation. In the end, the internal combustion engine will rest against a worn mount or sink into the engine protection.

DIAGNOSTICS

Before going to the service station, you can independently test the condition of the supports. The top cushion is usually clearly visible; can be checked for deformation of the rubber insert. And to check the condition of the left, right and lower engine mounts on the Nissan Qashqai, you will need an assistant who will drive the car:

1. We open the hood.
2. The assistant starts the car and leaves.
3. After one revolution of the wheel, gently apply the brake and stop.

If there is deformation in at least one support, the Nissan Qashqai engine will lose stability: when starting, it will go to the side, and when braking, it will return to its original position. In a car service, a mechanic will inspect the elevator cushions: determine the degree of wear of each of them, inform the customer which of them require replacement.

REPAIRS

Nissan Qashqai brackets cannot be restored, only replacement. At first glance, this procedure seems simple, as well as the design of the elements. However, even for an experienced mechanic, repairs can take a long time, since it is not possible to remove the pillow due to the location of the radiator or air conditioning compressor. If it is necessary to remove the compressor, the replacement of pillows (supports) of the engine is supplemented by a service for refueling the air conditioner. Carrying out repair work can be complicated by the presence of rust both on the fixing screws and on the seat of the part.

When disassembling the lower cushions, the support of the engine block and gearbox is used. When carrying out repairs on your own, it is necessary to take into account the ambient temperature, since rubber hardens in severe frost. It is not recommended to install the pillow in this condition.

OPERATING RULES

The main condition, the observance of which will help the supports to work in a timely manner, is a calm ride: a smooth start of movement and the same smooth stop will minimize the vibrations of the Nissan Qashqai engine, and the passage of obstacles at low speed will prevent its sharp displacement, respectively, and excessive compression of the pillow.

Periodic cleaning of attachment points from dirt will prevent wear of the rubber insert, prevent corrosion at the attachment points and facilitate their removal in case of replacing the Nissan Qashqai engine mount. Regular inspection of the lower part of the body will allow you to determine in advance the presence of leakage of vehicle fluids. As a result, timely maintenance will help prevent unexpected failures not only of fasteners, but also of other components and systems.

SELECTING A NEW PARTS

The left and right Nissan Qashqai ICE airbags will work out the stated life if they are of high quality. Before buying a new part, you should check with the mechanic who will carry out the repair or with the dealer. The brackets have structural differences not only in the case, but also in the mounts. You can buy an original Nissan Qashqai spare part, which is in the manufacturer's catalog. The (similar) part of the contract will cost a little less, but not worse in quality. The only difference is the wear guarantee.

Mounts with polyurethane inserts are gaining popularity, rather than rubber ones. This is due to the special strength of the material. Polyurethane withstands heavy loads without deforming, is not affected by temperature and does not react with vehicle fluids. Of course, such a spare part is more expensive, but its resource pays for the costs.

To replace the Nissan Qashqai ICE cushion, you should not use a suspiciously cheap spare part, even if a well-known manufacturer is indicated. It probably won't be of good quality. It is better to buy support from trusted sellers who have certificates for the products sold.
