A Nissan HRA2DDT timing chain kit enquiry should begin with the full engine identification and the exact package being considered. “Qashqai chain kit” or “Pulsar timing parts” is not specific enough to establish compatibility. The model name, engine, build information and required OE references need to agree before the order is approved.
RunningRoo lists a seven-piece timing package under SKU HL-NS-024-C08 for specified 1.2-litre HRA2DDT/H5FT turbo applications. The written contents identify an upper chain, a lower chain, one sprocket, one tensioner and three guides. This guide explains how to check that scope, distinguish it from packages containing additional gears or sealant, and organise a useful enquiry for an Australian workshop.

Start with the engine, not the familiar Nissan badge
The seller’s application list names Juke F15E, Pulsar C13M and Qashqai J11E/R with the 1.2 turbo engine and a broad 2013–2019 range. These descriptions identify the intended enquiry category. They do not mean that every vehicle with those model names or years has the required engine, and they should not be extended to other market configurations without checking.
Ask the technician to confirm the installed engine code. Provide the VIN and build details alongside that code, particularly for an imported vehicle or one with replacement-engine history. If the paperwork says only “1.2 petrol”, obtain the more precise identification before assuming that the package is suitable. Preserve the full code in the order rather than shortening it to a model name.
The HRA2DDT/H5FT wording on the listing also should not be used as a blanket interchange statement for all Renault or Nissan products with related engine-family descriptions. This page concerns the linked package and the applications the supplier is prepared to verify. A similar code in another listing is a reason to investigate, not a complete approval to substitute parts.
The seven-piece description is a scope, not an entire repair
A kit’s piece count tells you how the seller groups the advertised components. It does not describe all the work needed on the vehicle or establish that every seal, fastener and fluid is included. Ask the workshop to compare its actual parts requirement with the written contents before you judge whether the package covers the planned repair.
The word “upper” or “lower” in a sales list is also not a fitting instruction. The installer should identify the chain drives using the correct service information. This guide retains the seller’s component names for ordering clarity but does not assign a timing procedure, tightening sequence or installation position from a photograph.
For the featured product, the RunningRoo website description provides the following list. Confirm the actual supplied contents, especially where a product image appears to show a different number of gears or where another listing offers an additional item under a similar title.
| Advertised component | Quantity | Check before ordering |
|---|---|---|
| Upper timing chain | 1 | Required application and component reference |
| Lower timing chain | 1 | Match with the workshop’s identified scope |
| Sprocket | 1 | Exact supplied item and required reference |
| Tensioner | 1 | Correct assembly for the application |
| Chain guides | 3 | All required guide positions accounted for |
| VVT/camshaft adjuster gears | Not listed | Enquire separately if the workshop needs them |
| RTV, other sealing materials, bolts or fluids | Not established | Confirm separately against the procedure |
Some product imagery shows more than one gear-like component, while the written seven-piece list specifies one sprocket. Ask RunningRoo to clarify the exact supplied contents rather than counting shapes in an image. The cover is an editorial illustration; the order confirmation and the workshop’s application check should govern the purchase.
Distinguish a chain kit from an expanded package
When comparing listings, look beyond the shared engine name. One offer may add sealant, another may include camshaft gears, and another may be a chain-and-guide package only. Similar titles do not guarantee identical contents. Record the item number or SKU and obtain a written list for the exact offer you intend to buy.
A VVT gear is not established as included merely because a chain kit is intended for an engine that uses variable valve timing. If the workshop has specified an adjuster assembly, ask it for the required reference and include that item separately in the enquiry. Do not infer its presence from the phrase “complete chain set”.
Likewise, an offer that explicitly includes RTV should not lead you to assume that every package under the same engine name includes a tube. More importantly, the installer must select the sealing materials required by the applicable procedure. A promotional bundle cannot replace the workshop’s responsibility to verify the correct material and its prescribed use.
What Nissan owner information can—and cannot—tell you
An archived copy of the 2016 Nissan Qashqai owner’s manual separates HRA2DDT from other engine variants in its fuel and lubricant information. That is a useful reminder to use engine-specific maintenance data rather than a generic Qashqai assumption. See the Nissan manual’s engine-specific information. The copy is hosted by an independent manual archive; it is original Nissan owner material, not a current parts-catalogue approval.
Owner information and repair information have different purposes. A manual can help identify the relevant engine and maintenance specification, while a timing repair requires the appropriate workshop instructions. Do not use an owner’s manual to invent timing marks, chain-replacement steps or tightening values that it does not supply.
For your workshop enquiry, ask which service information applies to the vehicle and which oil specification and service materials it requires for the completed work. This article does not publish a universal oil recommendation for every HRA2DDT/H5FT-labelled application. Market, build and current manufacturer guidance must be checked for the actual vehicle.
Keep diagnosis separate from parts shopping
Before selecting a kit, obtain a professional assessment of the concern. Describe what happened, when it occurs and any previous repairs. If the workshop has recorded fault information, keep the exact record. Do not translate an unexplained warning or noise directly into a chain replacement order without the technician establishing the required work.
The parts supplier needs the result of that assessment in a usable form. “The car sounds wrong” is a complaint; “the workshop requires these identified timing components for this engine” is a parts request. Both can be included, but they should not be confused. The supplier can help match a package while the workshop remains responsible for evaluating the vehicle.
Ask which elements of the repair are confirmed and which remain subject to inspection. If the sprockets or adjusters are being assessed separately, note that rather than assuming the seven-piece package settles their condition. A staged estimate can preserve that uncertainty and explain how the workshop will seek approval if the parts requirement changes.
Match the workshop list to the supplier list
Give the installer the exact product link, not just a screenshot of the headline. Ask it to compare the two chains, tensioner, three guides and listed sprocket with its requirements. Where the descriptions differ, request a component reference or clear explanation rather than trying to resolve the difference through picture colour or shape alone.
OE numbers should be copied in full, including any suffix. If the supplier proposes an alternative reference, ask it to confirm the application and retain that answer with the order. A seller SKU identifies the commercial product; it should not be mistaken for a Nissan OE number. In this case HL-NS-024-C08 is useful for locating the offer, while vehicle-specific references still need checking.
A comparison sheet can have three columns: workshop requirement, included in the confirmed package, and separately required. That keeps the missing items visible without presuming that every possible extra is necessary. It also helps when the owner buys some components while the workshop supplies others, because both parties can see who is responsible for each item.
Plan the quotation around the actual seven-piece package
Ask for diagnosis, timing parts, additional materials, labour and final checks to be distinguished in the estimate. This does not require a complicated document. It requires enough detail to understand what is being purchased and what work the workshop has agreed to perform. A headline kit price alone cannot establish the final cost of a repair.
If comparing two quotations, confirm that they address the same engine and component scope. One may include additional gears or sealing work while another is based on the listed chain package only. Ask for the reason behind any difference before concluding that the lower total is better value. Avoid demanding a universal labour time from a general parts guide.
For owner-supplied parts, agree the arrangement with the installer before ordering. Confirm when it will inspect the package and how a mismatch will be resolved. Keeping that step before installation is practical for everyone: the supplier receives a clear question, the workshop avoids an uncertain fitting decision, and the owner understands any change to the schedule.
Contact RunningRoo with the information that matters
Send the VIN, full engine code, model and build details, relevant OE references and the link to this specific kit. Explain any import or engine-replacement history. If the workshop requires VVT gears, sealant or other items in addition to the seven-piece package, list them explicitly instead of assuming that the supplier will infer the broader scope.
An effective enquiry can say: “Please check HL-NS-024-C08 against this vehicle and the attached workshop references. Please confirm the exact sprocket and the seven-piece contents, and advise whether the additional items on my workshop list need to be ordered separately. I would also like current stock and pickup or dispatch information.” Send the real vehicle details through the private contact route.
Use the HRA2DDT/H5FT website listing, the matching eBay item, or call 0425 890 125. Australian-operated RunningRoo provides friendly support and Melbourne local pickup in Blackburn by appointment. Ask about fast dispatch if the workshop is waiting, while allowing separately for the selected delivery service.
Check the parcel and record the final repair
Keep the packaging, labels and order confirmation until the installer has checked the components. Compare the delivered contents with the written confirmation and raise any difference before fitting. A photo can support a query, but it should accompany the item number and a specific description of the discrepancy rather than stand alone.
For local collection, confirm the appointment and who will collect the order. For shipment, use a complete address and clarify whether delivery is to the owner or directly to the workshop. Handling time, carrier transit and workshop availability are separate parts of the plan. A fast dispatch option should not be presented as a guaranteed fitting date.
After installation, retain the invoice showing the final parts scope. Ask the workshop to explain any additional items it replaced or retained after assessment. Follow the maintenance advice applicable to the vehicle, and keep the record with earlier service information. A detailed invoice is more useful than a general statement that “the timing has been done”.

Frequently asked questions
Does this kit fit every Nissan Qashqai or Pulsar?
No. The featured listing concerns specified 1.2 turbo applications and requires an engine and VIN check. Other engines can share the same model name. Provide the complete installed-engine identification, build details and required OE references, particularly where the car is an import or has a replacement engine.
Are VVT gears included in the seven-piece package?
They are not listed in the written contents. The package identifies one sprocket, which should not be assumed to mean a camshaft adjuster set. If the workshop requires VVT gears, ask for their exact references and enquire separately. Obtain clarification if any product photograph appears inconsistent with the written scope.
Does every HL-NS-024-C08 offer include sealant?
Do not assume that. Different listings or bundles can describe additional items, so confirm the exact offer being purchased. The installer also needs to verify the correct sealing material under the applicable procedure. A similar SKU or promotional photograph is not sufficient to establish the complete contents of an order.
Can a generic engine-noise video confirm that I need this kit?
No. A video can provide background, but a qualified workshop must assess the actual vehicle and identify the repair scope. Keep the complaint, diagnostic findings and parts requirements separate. A supplier can help match confirmed components without claiming to diagnose an engine remotely.
What is the quickest way to arrange the correct order?
Send the complete vehicle and workshop details in one enquiry, then confirm stock and logistics. RunningRoo can assist with a Blackburn pickup appointment or current dispatch options. Phone 0425 890 125 for friendly support, and coordinate the workshop booking after the parts and delivery arrangement are settled.
Order the exact package your workshop needs
The useful match is between the identified engine, the required OE references and the confirmed seven-piece contents. Review the RunningRoo HRA2DDT/H5FT kit and corresponding eBay listing, clarify any extra gears or materials, and arrange the order with confidence. Melbourne pickup by appointment and fast dispatch support are available through Australian-operated RunningRoo once the details are confirmed.
