Nissan Qashqai is equipped with HR16DE (1,6), MR20DE (2,0) gasoline engines and M9R (2,0), K9K (1,5) diesel units. In gasoline engines, regardless of engine type, the movement of the camshaft is driven by a chain drive. On diesels, the timing chain is only on the M9R (2.0).

  • Cut the seams of the seal with a knife and detach the cap.
  • Inserting a rod with a diameter of 1,5 mm into the hole, tighten the towbar and fix it.
  • We unscrew the upper bolt with a sleeve, the upper fastening of the chain guide and remove the guide.
  • Remove the other chain guide in the same way.
  • First, remove the timing chain from the crankshaft sprocket, then from the intake and exhaust valve pulleys.
