My 1.2 turbo juke is doing the rattle noise only when I accelerate soon as I take my foot off it goes, and you hear it clearly around 2500 too 3000 rpm and as I lift my foot off the the pedal slowly the rattle sort of slows down , not on idle or when I start it up. It's frying my brain. Can someone give advice to me?
Got any tips of how to get into the timing chain cover on a juke without removing the engine from the car? I understand the upper motor mount must be removed, how did you go about removing the idler arm? I appreciate any help.
Just use a block of wood and a jack under the block, remove engine mount and raise/lower engine to get to the bolts, it's not to bad, although the crank shaft pulley bolt is VERY tight
I had the same problem with my 2014 Juke SL manufactured on November 29,2013. yet Nissan Canada looks at it as a 2014 model. Not covered under the Voluntary Recall Campaign P-4213 that covers all Juke models 2011 to 2013, Service Bulletin SB-10055923-4231, Valid from Sept. 22,2014 to Oct. 30,2015. Yet the problem of timing chain stretching wasn't discovered until May 5,2014. So I had to pay $2,440. out of my own pocket for the repairs. So why was my Juke not covered? Nissan has a problem with Model and Manufacturing dating!!!!
What was the mileage on juke? I have a 2012 nissan juke awd. I can hear rattling noise every time I drive at low speed (0-30mph) when I let of the gas it will stop rattling but as soon as I apply gas I can hear it again. After the engine warms up good, the sound is still there but faint. Is it the timing chain or something else?
My juke is doing the same exact thing. I brought it into nissan dealer at 41K miles explaining and showing the techs the sound. I showed them that the sound nearly completely goes away when I unplug the timing oil actuators/solenoids that are on the timing chain cover. I felt confident that it's an issue with the timing phaser sprockets or just a solenoid issue. A few days later, they had me come pick up the car. I looked at the parts repair list, they changed my chain and guides and only the crank sprocket. I asked them about the timing sprocket phasers and they shrugged and said the car is fine. I started it up and the rattling was still there... a couple months of arguing later, I decided to screw the dealership and take on the repair myself. I replaced both solenoids, noise is still there. I reconfirmed that when the electrical connectors on the solenoids are disconnected, the sound is gone. The noise goes away when the Exhaust Solenoid control is unplugged in specific. I ordered all new timing cover seals/gaskets, and both a new exhaust and intake phaser sprocket and going to replace it myself. Never been into the timing cover of a Juke on my own, wish me luck. lol
@@stevey500 Did you have a check engine light on? I went to a car shop to see if they could find where or what is making the noise. They were going to do a diagnostic, but couldn't cause the car didn't have any check engine light on. So they played it by ear.. the mechanic said he couldn't hear anything.. lol i asked if they can open the timing chain cover and just replace averything. Its $1,300 job plus parts.. they wasnt sure if that was the problem with the car at all. It would've been a waste of money if nothing was wrong with the chain, so I backed off.. I did change the spark plugs at 105,000 miles. Had a bad value cover gasket. They replaced it and the noise is still there. But good luck man hope you find the problem and fix it!
@@noe2k09 I hate that answer. "We couldn't get it to produce any codes, there is no check engine light." So stupid. It turned into an argument with nissan corp and the dealership saying "it's a gamble because if we open up the engine and don't find a problem, we have to charge you for the shop labor and we cannot help covering this repair" I responded, "if you open up the engine and don't find anything wrong, you guys aren't real technicians because there is obviously something wrong. When the VVT oil pressure control is disabled, the noise goes away, it seems very obvious." I was mostly upset that they tore into my engine and completely ignored my initial request of checking the VVT Sprocket phasers. They couldn't tell me anything about them at all because they did not check them for play/slop at all while the chain was off. If I were you, I'd unplug the exhaust vvt controller solenoid connector temporarily and see if your noise goes away, you might have the same problem. This will produce a temporary check engine light as a code will throw for exhaust vvt solenoid open circuit. This connector is on the upper end of the timing chain cover and reachable by hand, it faces the firewall. Do this when it's cooled down because the heat shield from the exhaust/turbo is right there nearby. The other electrical connector for the intake vvt oil pressure control solenoid that looks similar is harder to see and harder to reach to get to. I had to get under the car to get to that one and unplug it/swap solenoids when I was doing my own diagnostics in the driveway. I do know for sure the car is running incorrectly because my fuel mileage isn't where it should be. I get barely 20mpg when driving it "normal." My beast of an off road machine, xterra gets the same gas mileage right now. Also, when warming up when it is colder, the exhaust never stops steaming at all, tells me it's running unnecessarily rich. I'm figuring this is because the exhaust vvt sprocket phaser is not properly adjusting.
@@stevey500 Exactly! If there's a noise that hasn't been there before and now it's surfaced. There's something wrong with the engine and everything points to the timing chain! The mpg on my juke isn't bad it's about 25 -27mpg of course I have the awd model witch came with the 11.8 gallon tank lol instead of the 13 gallon tank. I'll check the vvt connections and see if the noise goes away. Is it safe to drive with it off? And every now and then I get rough idling while the car is parked or at a red light with the A.C. on. White smoke does come out in the mornings while the air temp is at 70°f.. im going to replace the mortar mounts on the car soon. The engine has a lot of movement
The Juke Engine timing chain design is very weak.. This should not happen. my Daughters Juke ( UK ) 1.2 Timing chain is rattling like hell, year 2015 car.. Crap ! Mechanic is going to have to replace ASAP.. Also the Engine drinks oil like hell and only 50,000 miles..
I have one in at work atm, 3 years old the car is, timing chain tensioner failed and seized up, does not push or retract the guide, which lead to a slack chain, on this case an exhaust valve on cylinder 2 had 2 chunks missing when the head was removed, warranty company authorized a full brand new engine after pictures was sent over, you do realise the 1.2 engine is a renault unit, explains everything really
