Parts for your 2014 Nissan X-trail-Head gasket

2014 Nissan X‑Trail head gasket — what it does and how to look after it

Yes, the 2014 Nissan X‑Trail runs a head gasket. This applies to the Aussie and Kiwi market petrol models (QR25DE 2.5‑litre) and global engines like the MR20DD 2.0‑litre and the 1.6 dCi diesel (R9M). Technical sources that specify the part include the Nissan X‑TRAIL (T32) Service Manual — Engine Mechanical (Cylinder Head section) and the Nissan Electronic Parts Catalogue, which list the “Gasket—Cylinder Head” and related torque‑to‑yield head bolts for these engines. The Renault R9M workshop documentation also details a cylinder head gasket for the diesel variant.

The head gasket sits between the cylinder head and engine block, sealing three critical pathways: combustion pressure, engine oil, and coolant. On the T32 X‑Trail’s alloy engines it’s a multi‑layer steel (MLS) design that handles heat cycles and clamping loads while keeping everything separated so there’s no oil‑in‑coolant drama or compression loss. If it’s healthy, you won’t notice it
