Model: Nissan Qashqai J11- Years 2014-2022
Part: Pump
Operation: How a water pump can cause the timing belt to break on a Nissan Qashqai

We can see how the installation of an inadequate water pump can cause the water pump of a Nissan Qashqai J10 with a 1.5 DCi K9K engine to break: the one shown by the youtuber is seized, losing teeth and for this reason the belt broke, causing significant damage to the entire engine of the car, having to replace the entire cylinder head. It is very important that when the belt is changed, the pump is also changed, which in itself has a very low cost, but can cause very heavy damage if, as in this case, it fails. In fact, as we see in the engine, the intake and exhaust valves have bent and all timing has been lost. The youtuber advises, if you buy a used car, not to rely on what is written on the belt, but to demand confirmation with the invoice from the workshop, in order to be sure that the work has been done, at that specific mileage, and that the water pump has also been changed. He then proceeds with the repair, which must be done by a specialized workshop, and is not within the reach of a simple DIY enthusiast.

Resetting the tire pressure warning light on the Mini Cooper R50

In this short guide we will understand the steps to be able to reset the tire pressure light of the Mini Cooper R50; before carrying out the reset, the pressure of all four tires must be at the operating pressure. Then we get in the car and start the engine; now let's press and hold the TPMS reset button, which we find at the bottom of the central tunnel (near the gear lever). In this way we will see that our TPMS spy will be reset, thus disappearing the warning of the instrument cluster, as shown in the video!
