Nissan Juke

The small crossover, and the model that put the 1.6 DIG-T into volume — a direct-injection turbo whose timing chain and its tensioner are the two items behind most of its rattle and correlation codes. The other thing to establish first is the gearbox: the Xtronic CVT here has a documented failure history at moderate mileage, and a judder or slip complaint on one is a transmission question long before it is an engine one. Four-wheel-drive versions use a torque-vectoring rear coupling with its own control unit.

Service information

Information, not instruction

CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.

Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:

  • The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
  • What you measured, not only what you replaced.
  • What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
