How to Check the Camshaft Timing on Nissan Qashqai?

[MacMelanie]

Nissan Qashqai camshaft timing marks are located on the gears and chains. The function of the camshaft in a car is to control the opening and closing of the valves. Camshafts are typically forged from high-quality carbon steel or alloy steel, and can also be cast from alloy cast iron or ductile iron. The journal and cam working surfaces are polished after heat treatment. Symptoms of a damaged camshaft in a car are as follows: 1. The car has a high-voltage spark, but it takes a long time to start, though it eventually runs; 2. During the starting process, the crankshaft may reverse, and backfire may occur in the intake manifold; 3. The car idles unevenly and shakes severely, similar to a cylinder misfire; 4. The car lacks acceleration and cannot run properly, especially when the RPM exceeds 2500; 5. The vehicle experiences high fuel consumption, excessive exhaust emissions, and black smoke from the exhaust pipe.
