The rattling resolution... Long story short, I got 2 different diagnoses. One Nissan Infiniti specialist said that it was the high pressure fuel pump causing the camshaft timing chains to rattle and tick. He suggested a new engine. Probably around $11k for replacement. Infiniti said it was the timing chain and sprockets. Replacement chains, sprockets, guides, and while they were doing that, they would suggest a new water pump. Total would be around $8k. We took it to another Asian auto specialist which said the same as Infiniti. Their cost was $6k with a 6 month warranty. We opted for this one, but the parts were on backorder indefinitely and Nissan could not give them an expected delivery date after a month of waiting. We wound up letting it go...🍻
@tramainecooley1501 the rattle or the crankshaft sensor fault? The crankshaft sensor was just a part swap. The rattling is more serious. See my pinned comment at the beginning of the comment section. If you do decide to keep driving it you do risk further damage. The expense of the repair compared to the value of your vehicle is another thing to consider. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. Where is the other cam sensor? I am getting a P0345 Sensor "A". Looks like you did the "B". I'm hearing you should replace both at the same time to be safe.
Thanks for watching! The code I had was P0017 crank position sensor, not the camshaft position sensor code. So honestly, I didn't have a reason to locate the camshaft sensors at the time. P0345 is the camshaft (which you probably already know), the sensors are in the valve covers on the transmission side of the engine if I'm not mistaken...(don't hold me to it though 😒)
Camshaft position sensor over advanced. Has to do with the cam phasers. I've read that the code comes and goes, but it's definitely a timing issue. Whether it's the chain guides or the phasers or solenoid are sludged up, it's not good.
At the end of the video, there is a noise that the engine is making, did you ever find the reason for it was? I thought the chain tensioner most likely, but interesting to find out what your thoughts are? Thank you in advance.
The crankshaft position sensor code cleared, but the noise persisted off and on still. Infiniti says new cam sprockets, chains, tensioner, and guides at roughly $8500 + the "while you're in there water pump etc. My Nissan / Infiniti specialist says "it's the high pressure fuel pump, no rebuilding this. You should replace the engine." Recommended a JDM replacement, not one sourced in the US. I haven't decided yet 😕 😪 Thanks for watching though! 👍🏼
My 2017 QX60 is kicking back the same error code and making the same horrible sound. Took it to the dealer and they said the engine needs to be replaced. Had bought an extended warranty but they’re saying the warranty was cancelled for early pay off but we’re still paying on it so that’s a whole other ordeal we have to settle 😢
Sorry to hear that! I'm curious about the extended warranty issue. Ours ran out before that issue cropped up. Opted to repair at a nissan infiniti specialist, but the parts were on backorder for weeks, so we sold the vehicle.
Did that part give you any problems?! I want to replace mines but everybody keep saying only use dealer parts and Infiniti want 250 compared to advance auto they want 90 bucks
I can't report on that, unfortunately. The rattling you hear at the end of the video was a timing guide, tensioner, and sprocket issues. Parts from nissan were on backorder, and we wound up getting rid of it 😢.

so I have the same problem. I started complaining about my engine when it was 3 years old (its 5 years old now). They replaced some things, took it back, programmed some things, still not running right, and brought it back(this time 4,000 miles out of warranty) NOW they know exactly what's wrong and it's $10,000 to repair!!! I'm wondering if this is a problem they already knew about and are refusing to do a recall on it because they know it will fail at or close to the warranty expiration. So they screw with it, make like it's okay (even though it still runs like crap), and they milk it until the warranty runs out so they can nail you with the repair. I feel played. FREAKIN INFINITI! DITCHIN' - ACURA is FAR superior. I cannot believe I paid so much for a piece of crap. 5 years! really???? I get 15 YEARS (with 200K+ miles) out of HONDA's!!!
Your story is so hitting home with me! After 3 Infiniti vehicles in the family fleet in the past, I get this problem child.... 😮💨😔 Will be posting a resolution update on this soon! Thanks for watching !

That code, yes. But the poor old QX is having issues bigger than what I want to tackle. Started throwing VVT codes.... Haven't decided on what I'm going to do yet.
@dez white no sludge, regular oil changes etc. MY Nissan Infiniti specialist says it happens with these models. He's suggesting a new engine, but he doesn't install domestic engines. He only installs JDM imported units.
The rattling resolution...

Brother, you are a wealth of knowledge. And you drive Miss Claudine!
Thanks Jeff! I appreciate you!!
Hi I have a 2018 and I have the same problem what do you suggest. And also how long can you drive the car with that type of problem. Thank you

Make a video about the variable valve timing solenoid please I can’t find it on my qx60 and it needs to be replaced
I wish I could 😪. I wound up getting rid of the QX60 because of major valve train issues...
Thanks for watching!
Put a bottle of Lucas high mileage Oil treatment It will help tremendously.

Also my Infiniti specialist said it's not common, but he's seen it a few times.

OMGosh!! I have a 2107 QX60 with this exact problem. They wanted $9,00, to repair it. So the QX60 engine is a ball of crap?!?!

Did this solve the problem though? That code indicates a number of things that could be wrong.

Haven't decided on what I'm going to do yet.
@Skagg's Garage sludge in there? I have one that's sludged up some, going to try a flush and pray before buying a new engine.

Thank you very much
….”you owe me $32,000…..😂. Classic!
slay
Thia guys clearly didnt fix nothing at all, you clearly can hear the chains banging when its on. Good try parts changer
Was actually showcasing the scanner... But oh well, thanks for watching. 🍻

Hahaha! Nope! Nothing at all... thanks for watching though! 🍻
