Nissan Primera P12 - Beauty does not hide disadvantages. "Nissan example" P12: description, specifications, photo Power installation and transmission

Appeared at the end of 2001 Nissan Primera. In the body P12 surprised everyone. So no bold design from the conservative Nissan no one expected. Moreover, Primera differed from all other cars not only outside, but also inside. However, is it worth buying this "spacecraft" in the second-hand state?

About the design of Nissan Primera can be spent very long. Now the unusual appearance of this model is all more or less accustomed to, but remember the beginning of the century. The first Primera, which appeared on our roads in the spring of 2002, was perceived as guests from the future. If the nude Jennifer Lopez came to the capital streets, he would even cause less interest among Russians. According to the drivers of these cars, so much attention was riveted to them that it was simply impossible to ride without toned glasses. But if five years ago, this car was perceived as something from another world, now at Primera, you can already watch not with wonderful eyes. And it turns out that the appearance of Primera is not like everyone. Moreover, often we are talking about the full rejection of the model. For the sergeant of the used car, this is not the best news - the design of Primera seriously limits the range of potential buyers.

Yes, and inside Primera is also extremely unusual. There are no devices before the driver's eyes, all the buttons and control knobs are transferred to the "fungus" in the center of the console, there is even a similar to a computer keyboard. And if you still add a monitor to this and a rear view camera that came already in basic configuration? All this produces a strong impression, especially on an unprepared driver who used to go to some low-cost roads and not even dreamed of such "frills". Despite the abundance of electronics, claims for the latter very little. Only sometimes due to bad contacts or pulled wires, something can start buggy. However, many drivers who are accustomed to the ideal quality of "Japanese" are sometimes very unhappy with small malfunctions. The overall quality of the salon assembly is also decent, although sometimes embroides appear in the car, unworthy models of this class.

But if with the reliability of electronics everything is more or less order, then there is a claim to ergonomics. Perhaps Nissan Primera can be called one of the few japanese carswhere the driver can irritate something. Mainly complaints concern too a dusty computer. Play with him, of course, very interesting. However, after a pair of operation weeks, it becomes clear that to switch the radio station or adjust the kondeya temperature, you need to press the buttons several times, depending on the central display (by the way, in sunny weather, it sometimes glances). PRIMERA Owners assure that there is nothing complicated in this, and you get used to the computer quickly. Perhaps they are right. Especially since Nisanovsev has the main trump card - so much unusual and interesting salon Still you will not meet, especially if we talk about the "Second-Hand" world. And the rear view cameras in the car for this money you will not find (except that the models brought from Japan). To use this damn chamber is convenient - it not only makes the parking process safer and simple, but also creates the feeling that you are sitting in a truly cool modern car.

Most presented by secondary market Cars were originally sold in Russia. From Europe and Japan, Primera is also sometimes brought, and often they are even cheaper than "Russians" (in the USA did not sell this primera). However, in many cases, cheap cars from Europe have some problems or very large mileage. Therefore, experts assure that a more preferred option is Primera with Russian registration, which is constantly serviced by the dealer and has service book. Most often on sale you can find the body of a sedan with a not most comfortable trunk, which looks outwardly resembles a hatchback. More practical "hatchs" are also found, but the universals are rare. And sorry, because the universal primera and looks interesting, and it is just excellent for the transportation of cargo.

Primera P12 sold in Russia was equipped with three gasoline engines. The simplest cars have a 1.6-liter engine, which issued 109 hp. The number of "horses" seems to be worthy, but the main disadvantage of such an aggregate lies in a low torque. But if there is an irrepressive desire to save, and besides, the car will be operated only in the city, then 1,6-liter Primera can be taken. Although it is stupid to count on a decent dynamics. In addition, the engine resource is 1.6 liters. The smallest thing you can also forget.

It looks much prettier than Primera 1.8. Under the hood she hides not too much "horses" (only 116 pieces), but it is much more convenient to control such a car. The car is already noticeably better reacting to the press of the gas pedal, acceleration occurs much more confident. Well, the most gorgeous Primera intended for Europe and Russia equipped with a 2.0-liter unit, which issued 140 hp.

If you like the "right steering wheel", then from Japan, not only cars with a motor volume of 1.8 liters can lead from Japan. (125 hp) and 2.0 liters. (150 hp), but also with a 2.5-liter unit (170 hp) and even "charged" Primera with a 2.0-liter engine. Power 204 hp True, the masters recommend refusing the hottest car. First, it is decently, and secondly, a 204-strong motor due to its high forcedness is less reliable. And you can also say that in Japan they were sold not only annex, but also all-wheel drive Primera.

Primera diesel engines were in demand only in Europe. From the old light, you can drive a car with a 1.9 or 2.2 liter diesel engine. The first gives 120 hp, and the second 126 hp or 139 hp These cars have a modern fuel supply system that does not bestly digest our diesel fuel. Although if you bring yourself from Europe "Three-year older" with diesel (it is better to take a 2.2-liter motor) with mileage up to 100 thousand km., At least a few years you will drive and only rejoice in the low fuel consumption and a decent torque, which Makes ride on the car very comfortable.

Gasoline engines are capable of well, just to upset their owners. Despite the praised Japanese quality, the motors can be broken before the onset of 100 thousand km! In this, many do not believe, but the fact remains a fact - on the decent number of cars without any explanation, the engine started to eat oil. If the driver "lucky", and the motor was worn back in the warranty period, then in this case the repairs were carried out for free. But when the "capital range" was required at the end of the guarantee, then all the financial burden was located on the owner of the car. By the way, if you have Primera still on guarantees, then never make a "trift" between that. There are many cases when the dealer refused to repair or change the engine due to the fact that the car drove extra 100 km.

Dislikes with the motor are not a single character. This is a real problem. Most are at risk of 1.6 liters. and 1.8 hp As for the 2.0 l motor, it can also break. But this is not due to the wear of the cylindrophone group, but due to the catalyst. On machines made before the spring of 2004, it can collapse, because of which small particles of the catalyst indoors fall directly into the cylinders, inflicting irreparable harm. Therefore, when purchasing a car 2002-2004, be sure to ask the masters to look at the catalyst. If he is still old, then let them replace it with a new one.

The ignition turns are sometimes withstanding 50 thousand km., Although they usually need to be changed every 30 thousand km. Now the default platinum candles are put on Nissan services, which in the idea should serve longer. However, experience shows that their resource is the same as "ordinary". Even 45 thousand km. (that is, on the third then) the masters advise to wash the block throttle valve. It is done rather in order to prevent, as a special difference in the engine behavior before cleaning and after it is not noticed. If you take the car 2002-2003, then check the radiator. To date, he may already be at death, and the new one costs about $ 500. Although this item is normal money.

Primera had surprisingly a wide variety of gearboxes. Cars with a 1.6-liter engine were equipped with the usual 5-speed "mechanics". With a motor volume of 1.8 liters. Could go mechanical box or 4-speed "automatic". But the 2.0-liter machines have already had a 6-speed "mechanics" or the variator in which six "virtual" velocities are laid - if you wish, you can manually switch them! Moreover, the last type of transmission is found quite often (another thing is that 2.0 liter PRIMERA was not sold too much). As for cars with a diesel engine from Europe, they had a 6-speed "mechanics".

The most problematic was the usual 5-speed "mechanics". For some reason, on 3-5-year-old cars, the bearings are sometimes wear out, which should be urgently changed (it will cost about $ 700 with work), and otherwise the box will require and at all the bulkheads. Moreover, on some services, it is proposed to completely replace the checkpoint, which costs about $ 3,000. The grip at the average driver serves about 120 thousand km., And the replacement of the entire kit is placed in the fraction of decency - $ 450 with work. As for the variator and "automaton", they are rather strong, but in Russia, all the same variastors are afraid. And besides there were several cases when this transmission broke. If such a tragedy occurred, then do not listen to the master on the service station, which will assure you that you need to buy a new variator. Firstly, they can be searching for "disassembly", and secondly, in Russia there are already craftsmen who will reveal such boxes. But in any case, the issue price will be about $ 2,000.

Nissan Primera suspension is tuned to a greater extent on comfort than controllability. But this "Japanese" does not demonstrate any miracles of smoothness - in principle no better, but not worse than most competitors. But the reliability of the chassis is surprising. We all have long been accustomed to the fact that the suspension of Japanese cars without any breakdown works at 100-150 thousand km, demanding only insignificant repairs. However, Primera spifted the image of the Japanese. After all, this model has ball supports that comes assembled with levers for $ 250 break on average every 30-50 thousand km. Depending on the style of ride. Approximately the same resource at the steering tips (approximately $ 100 together with the work), and the front / rear stabilizer racks are not stronger. And if you buy a car with a mileage of about 100-120 thousand km., Be prepared for a possible replacement of also shock absorbers, as well as hub bearings. In general, for the Japanese model, the running turned out to be not too strong - the previous versions of Primera were much stronger.

Nissan Primera. last generation - This is primarily design. The car still looks very unusual, and not only outside, but also inside. In addition, the rear view chamber in the car of this class will no longer meet anywhere (brought from Japan cars do not count). However, with the reliability of Nissan Primera is not so smooth. Problems can deliver the engine, gearbox, and the suspension also turned out to be not perfect. Therefore, if you are a fan from the design of Nissan Primera, then check the car with special care. Well, if appearance You consider this model, then you don't need to take this used car at all. Especially since PRIMERA is not cheaper than competitors.

The Nissan Primera model has a very rich history. PRIMERA progenitor is Datsun Bluebird, which was shown back in 1958. At that time this was modern modelwhich for the first time in Japan had a brake amplifier. However, when the Japanese decided to conquer the European market in the 1980s, they realized that for the old light, it was necessary to create models adapted to the requirements of local buyers. Therefore, in 1984, the Nissan branch was opened in England, which was developing a new car class "D" on European classification. The result of the activities of the unit was presented in 1990, when the first PRIMERA appeared in the body P10 (it was sold, by the way, not only in Europe, but also in Japan). Nissan Primera P10 was released in the body sedan, 5-door hatchback and wagon. Truth, latest model It was intended mainly only for Japan.

Second generation Nissan. PRIMERA was shown in 1996 (body P11). From a technical point of view new car Not too distinguished from the old, although the body and salon have become different. IN 1999 year Nissan. PRIMERA has undergone serious modernization (internal designation of the B11-144 restyled car resting machines). Often, such machines are called the third generation Primera, but in fact it is not quite so. Under the hood PRIMERA P11-144 put gasoline motors with a volume of 1.6 liters. (99 hp), 1.8 liters. (114 hp) and 2.0 l. (140 hp), as well as a 2.0-liter diesel engine. (90 hp). Specialists this car was remembered primarily by the fact that it was she for the first time in the class "D" received a stepless variator.

Well, in 2002, the Japanese showed a car that all first accepted for the next concept car. It was PRIMERA in the body of P12, which produced a real furyor. The basic engine was the 1.6-liter unit (109 hp). In addition, they put on the car gasoline engines volume of 1.8 l. (116 hp or 125 hp for japanese market), 2.0 l. (140 hp or 150 hp), 2.5 liters. (170 hp) and 2.0 l. (204 hp). The last two motors were intended exclusively for Japan. Diesels were two pieces: 1.9 liters. (120 hp) and 2.2 liters. (126 hp or 139 hp).

In 1989, Japanese concern Nissan. introduced a new model - car Nissan. Primera. After 12 years, the premiere of Nissan Primera has been held for the third generation. The assembly was conducted in Japan and the UK. In 2004, restyling was held. The production of Nissan Example P 12 was carried out until 2007.

Nissan Primera P12 is front-wheel drive car D class in the body of Sedan, Liftbek (Hatchback), wagon. Japan for the domestic market produced all-wheel drive cars. The model is equipped with both the left and right-hand drive of the steering wheel.

The package was 1.6 liter, 1.8 l., 2 liters, 2.5 liters, diesel 1.9 liters. (Turbodiesel), 2.2 liters. From 5 (6) stepped mechanical KP and the 4-square variator.

The third generation of the medium-sized Nissan Primera car was presented in 2001. At that time, the appearance and interior were extremely futuristic. But now Primera has not lost relevance and looks quite fresh.

Types of body:

• sedan;
• hatchback, which is correctly called Liftback - He has a separate, let and short, "tail" from behind;
• wagon with a shift door. It does not look at the utilitarian "shed" at all.

Places of production:

• Kyushu, Japan;
• Sunderland, County Tyne and Uir, United Kingdom. The quality of the English assembly is generally lower, but not critical.

Weak places Nissan Example (P12) 2001-2007 release

Operating a car on all continents of the globe in different natural conditions, the organization of the assembly of the car revealed the following deficiencies of Nissan examples of 2001-2007 release:

1. Engine

• Valve train chain.
• Piston rings.
• Catalyst.

1. Transmission

• Pillows MCPP.
• Crunch in MCPP.
• Variable speed drive.

1. Suspension

Front:

• Stands, stabilizer bushings.
• Steering rack.

Rear:

• Stabilizer's pole.
• Weak springs.

It should be noted that cars 2001-2002. The release was completed with the timing chains not meet the requirements for the level of portable loads. The material in the timing chains does not provide reliable strength and stability resistance.

There was a disease - the chain was stretched and demanded a replacement by 170 thousand km. Mileage from the stated resource at 300 thousand km.

Piston rings.

The fact was revealed that on gasoline engines 1.6, 1.8, 2l. In the period from 2002 to 2003, piston rings of poor quality were established. Rings quickly wear out, which leads to increased oil consumption. When increased flow You should pay attention to the state piston rings. Untimely response to this problem may cause overhaul Engine.

Catalyst.

In engines 1.6 and 1.8 liters. Often there is a problem with a catalyst. Fast wear of the mesh catalyst leads to its separation. Particles fall into the combustion chamber. Cylinder loop appear. Result: Additional oil consumption.

• It is important to immediately eliminate this problem.
• Council, with the first to be able to check the condition of the catalyst.
• According to experts, when replacing the catalyst every 70 thousand km, this problem can be completely eradicated.

The flow of oil from the valve cover.

With advent nissan models PRIMERA 3rd generation, Nissan concern since 2001, began to equip engines with a plastic valve lid. Thus, the tightness of the caught space began to provide glands candlestones, glued to the cover of the lid and closed with special plates.

1. The greater disadvantage of such a design is the increased probability of tightness, when the oil can penetrate inside the candlestone.
2. The loss of motor power is manifested, a bad plant, a malfunction failure (Troit).
3. In this case, the replacement is subject to valve lid. Replacing individual seals is not provided.

Pillows MCPP.

Nissan Example 2001-2007 The release can be found in the secondary market with mileage on European roads, the roads of the Russian Federation and Japan. Despite the specifics and features of the operation of the car, unpleasant vibration in the steering wheel can occur periodically, in the cabin vehicle. Be sure to check the airbags of the ICCP. As a rule, their resource is designed for 100 thousand km.

"Crunch" mechanical gearbox when switching

Some owners sin on five or six-speed (depending on the particular motor and market) "mechanics" - it starts to "crunch" when switching. One of the reasons is overflowing the oil. It needs exactly three liters, but often when replacing "do not greading" and stuff up to five. However, synchronizers are also susceptible to strong wear, especially when inactive circulation.

Gentle variator

Right-line "Japanese" were equipped with a regular "automatic" with a torque converter. And on the cars of the British assembly, installed the clinorem cVT variator. Its design is quite successful, although, in general, such boxes are considered less reliable. It is only necessary to remember that the "racing" the variator does not like - quickly overheats, and in the cabin begins to smell the "fried" oil ATF.. By the way, bad service can also "sentence" the box much faster than planned - it is very sensitive to such "handling.

Stands, front suspension stabilizer bushings.

Operation of the Nissan example of the 3rd generation in conditions of poor-quality road coating leads to increased loads on the front racks and bushings of the front suspension stabilizer. The violation of the work is manifested by the presence of tapping. Therefore, experts recommend replacing every 30 thousand km. The node itself is very reliable. However, in front often have to change the anthers (even the original, not to mention the substitutes) - they are rushing.

Steering rack.

In supported Nissan Primera P12 special attention You should pay the steering rake. It requires constant tightening control. One of the design calculations on this model. In particular, the "snot" the glands (upper and lateral). Rake after the overhaul is a norm on such a car, even if she is only two or three years old. But the operation itself is unnecessary for the owner from a financial point of view.

In case of failure, repair is not subject to repair.

Rear suspension stabilizer racks.

The car is installed on the almers (class C), and Example 12 is presented in class D. Racks do not withstand constant loads. Polists are broken with bumps. Sailing springs does not protect against hitting the body. The result is the appearance of cracks in the stern of the body.

Weak springs.

Despite the middle stiffness of the suspension, the model examples of the 3rd generation is equipped with weak rear springs. Their seating creates the problem of absorbing the energy of shocks in the suspension. Thus, the blows come on the body of the car itself.

The main disadvantages of Nissan Primera 3rd Generation

• Location dashboard in the center.
• Solid and hard plastic causes vibration in the front hemp area and the central panel.
• There is no steering wheel adjustment.
• Native radio does not read MP3 discs.
• Short front armrest does not provide comfort for the driver.
• Very tightly "packaged" boobspace space - it is difficult to get to individual nodes and aggregates.
• Weak paintwork. Rear arches. The bottom of the rear of the car.
• Sedan. Rear trunk: uncomfortable loading platform.
• Low noise insulation arches.
• Rear view overview through mirrors limited.

Conclusion.

The Nissan model of the 3rd generation examples, undoubtedly left its individual trace in the history of the automotive industry. Bold and unforgettable car design, specifications, I also had to make many millions of car enthusiasts.

Today, choosing the supported model of the Nissan example of the 3rd generation, it should be understood that the reliability of its car can be increased only due to personal desire. Conduct complete diagnostics, eliminate breakdowns, properly operate a personal vehicle.

P.S: Dear car owners, a huge request, if you have been identified frequent breakdowns No aggregates or details of this car model, please inform the comments below.

   Insufficient thickness of the paint and varnish coating, the paint layer for examples is thin. Of course, there is a layer of zinc and it protects the metal reliably, but it's easier to get it easier.
   Especially it should be paid to a used copy that operated in Moscow, where poisonous reagents are poured on the roads in huge quantities - often because of this you have to repaint, or even change the thresholds even on cars that were not at all in an accident at all. Extremely subject to corrosion rear wheel arches - This is a disease examples. Therefore, it is not worth saving on additional processing.

   Many owners complain about the so-called "crickets". The fact is that the top of the panel is made of soft material. But everything that is lower than the conditional "belt" line - already from much cheaper. Over time, after 20 thousand kilometers, and even before, the screens are heard from everywhere - and it is very annoying. To identify a specific place - almost impossible. The output in this case is only one: to carry out a complete disassembly - and glue all with special materials that are on sale a great set.
   Silver paint in the cabin is quickly erased. Buttons on the steering wheel - from plastics "under chrome". Over time, the inscriptions are erased on it, and then paint. Approximately the same applies to the gearbox lever on which a similar lining is installed. In addition, there are darous inserts on the doors. Traces of wear on them are visible perfectly.

   Generally weak places My examples of 2007 are not so much. It is pretty reliable and at the same time an original-looking car for those who do not tear from traffic lights.
   I will advise you to choose very carefully, turning special attention to the steering.

   We bought the example of 2007 in 2012. Since then, there were no problems with the machine. Only a couple of years ago, I changed Shruz, there was a repair of the steering rack. About salon rattles. Neither make noise. Noise isolation Yes, there are errors ... but the price of the car is not high. Solutions appeared. Rrya does not take. Even after several years. Bumper native! Sooooo strong! The trunk is the coolest! Camelly! Super car! It is a pity that the release stopped.

The latest representative, closing the line of car middle segment Nissan Primera, is the "Nissan example" model P12. Car owners reviews indicate that it is not worth waiting for something supernatural from the car. For all three generations, she could not demonstrate high level Aerodynamic and technical properties. Unfortunately, the quality of chassis and security is also not very pleased with the owners. However, it is not necessary to completely determine the car. Among representatives of their segment, the model "Nissan example" P12 takes not last place, but most likely " golden middle", Where the price is fully consistent with the quality.

A bit of history

"Nissan Example" with the index P12 represents the third generation of this brand. Her mass production It began in 2002 This model It became a successor despite the average characteristics, the car immediately became popular. However, in 5 years, the demand for it has declined significantly, and the manufacturers have decided in 2007 to fully stop his release.

Over the years of production, the Nissan Example, P12 was presented in three types of body. Universal and hatchback. However, the latter differed little from the sedan. In comparison with the previous generations, the design of this model has become more dynamic and even bold, which accounted for car enthusiasts. In 2004, the company conducted a restyling, the results of which were changes in the interior. In particular, finishing materials were replaced for better, the level of comfort and much attention was paid to ergonomics.

Gabarits.

In order to have an idea of \u200b\u200bthe "Nissan example" model P12, it is worth disassembling its overall indicators. Since several types of body were released, then, of course, they have different sizes. Length varies within 4565-4570 mm. The width of everyone is unchanged - 1760 mm. As for height, this indicator is almost the same - 1480 mm. Disks with a diameter of 16 inches, clearance - 150 mm, wheelbase - 2680 mm. These dimensions correspond to all types of body.

Exterior

Each motorist pays special attention to the external design of the car. What awaits them in the "Nissan example" model P12? Let's start with the front. The first thing I want to pay attention is the grille grille. It has an original split form. From the side it seems that it is done to concentrate on head optics. The headlights, in turn, are quite large, remotely resemble the form of drops, however, with more stringent and straight lines. Three ribs are pronounced on the hood. Thanks to them, the V-style is viewed in the design of the front of the car.

Behind you can observe smooth lines that are clearly visible in the form of glass, the door of the luggage compartment, bumper. Rear lights Just like the front, rather large size, stretched from top to bottom.

"Nissan Example" P12: Engine Characteristics

For the domestic buyer, the car was completed with different gasoline engines. But diesel installations were intended only for sales in Europe.

Almost all the motors have a similar design. The two-liter engine is allocated on a general background. He, in contrast to others, is equipped with balancing shafts. The highest quality and reliable motorists consider the force setting of 1.6 liters (4 cylinders), even given its modest (109 "horses"). About the engine for 1.8 liters there is information from which it follows that this unit requires a large amount of oil. The replacement of the rings briefly saves the situation, but mostly have to change the entire block. After restyling 2004, the engine 2.0 l was significantly modified. Due to the fact that the control unit was reprogrammed, the flow rate of gasoline and oil decreased significantly.

All the above engines were included with automatic and mechanical

Nissan presented in 2001 mire Nissan. Primera P12 is the third generation of PRIMERA machines, replacing the Bluebird model in Europe. The car in the conveyor mode was collected from 2002 to 2007, but the design and at the present time did not lose modern appearance. It is a pity that in 2007 the release of the model stopped. Nissan Bluebird Sylph has arrived at shift.

The reason for this was the discontent of the Japanese quality assembly of the machine produced in the UK. According to the Japanese, the reliability of the model does not respond to Japanese standards. The dislike of the Japanese with the Europeans there was mutual. The first swores for the lack of a vigorous Japanese reliability, which collected by Europeans. The second did not really like the appearance that did not do new car Popular in sales market.

PRIMERA P12 has received moral support from Russian motorists. In the middle class, the model confidently took a place in the leading troika. Demand exceeded expected. For 6 years they sold 40,000 cars, and 2003 marked with leadership in the sales segment. The appearance of the hero in the secondary market prompts to make an overview of the technical condition.

Motors for Nissan Example P12

Among Russians, the popularity of cars equipped with a gasoline engine with a working volume of 1.8 and 1.6 liters were popular. The share of demand for this category reaches eighty percent. The rest is available on machines with 2-liter engines.

In the secondary market in the European part of Russia there are primera and another configuration, but it is rather an exception. These are pure Japanese with a 2.5-liter engine running on the principle of direct injection. fuel mixes. There are 2-liter configurations with a reinforced power up to 204 liters. from. These motors with a modified gas distribution period and valve workflows. Diesel Europeans are rare with purely japanese engine 2.2 liters either french 1.9.

Diesel Primera, used, in the market is not enough. They require careful analysis, as they are characterized by the intervention of the auto show in the warranty period. Change turbocharger, intercooler or engine. Mostly it is a purely Japanese technique.

Machines with french engines in another state. The owner does not deliver strong worries, except for the reaction to quality diesel fuel. However, this is not an indicator of the advantage of the French motor. The secret lies in the engine life - Europe closer.

Two hundred fifty thousand kilometers is a sinking distance for a gasoline engine. Periodically, it is required to adjust the valve gaps using the washers, change the drive chain on the gas distribution mechanism through 130,000 mileage kilometers. When operating the machine in high-speed modes The replacement will be required more often. Background - an impenetrable engine works with vibration.

For replacement of the circuit, the engine is removed, which is in the aggregate more than 1,000 US dollars. Correction is required, as there is a risk of termination of the motor at elevated revs or difficulties with the launch. The reason for this is the error of the camshaft sensor.

Practical analysis of motors with a volume of 1.8 and 2.0 liters. I revealed on the first primera weakness of the catalytic converter combined with the output manifold. The consequence of malfunction became breakdowns in piston group. Distribution control automatics responds to a malfunction. The signal indicator is turned on late. During the signal delay, the cell ceramics falls inside the cylinder. If such a trouble occurred during the warranty, then the rings planted on the outer surfaces of the rings, catalytic collectors, and in the running cases, changed on the outer surfaces.

Independent catalyst replacement is estimated at 600 US dollars. In 4,000 US dollars will be replaced by the cylinder block for a 2-liter motor. Per calculation is not taken hinged equipment. Taking an already used engine, who worked in Europe, Japan, the cost of repairs will be 1,500 - 2,000 dollars.

The precursor of future breakdowns becomes non-dynamic motor behavior and increased oil consumption. Practice shows that when approaching 60,000 kilometers in particularly launched cases, the engine eats up to one liter of oil by 1,000 kilometers.

The company "Nissan" taking into account the working disadvantages of the motor and through new pistons aimed at increasing the oil removal, and modernized oil rings, improved efficiency. The two-liter engine, in addition, equipped the firmware of the control unit that protects the neutralizer. An additional plus manifested itself in the winter launch of the engine - the candles do not flood. There was a change in the catalytic collector - the cells of the filler are located on the motor.

After the intervention of Japanese engineers, air flow sensors was reliable. Who remembers, then at old engines the sensor stopped the work without reaching the stottalky turn in the engine mileage. Russian car owners changed sensors for cheaper from VAZ-2110. If you change the standard sensor, it will cost $ 1,000.

Operation shows that as a result of the re-equipment of the engine, the shortcomings remained - the rear engine support. The service life does not exceed 70,000 kilometers. Replacement cost - $ 70.

Transmission

Five-speed manual transmission (mechanical gearbox) it works exactly to a run of 100,000 kilometers. This threshold for the planned replacement of the clutch friction clutch is $ 300. Here bury the bearings of the MCPP shafts. Better flaw Fix, spending 600 dollars, as when fixing the bearing, the correction is achieved by turning the box, which will cost more.

There are 6-speed manual transmissions on vehicles with a 2-liter engine or automatic transmission, connected with motors by 1.8 liters. Reliability corresponds to the Japanese approach, subject to proper care:

• replacement required working fluid in automatic transmission ( automatic box shift gear) after every 60,000 km;
• for manual transmission, oil replacement is recommended every 80,000;

A used car is manifested by fuzzy transfers to the manual transmission. The clarity is restored to the replacement of the sleeve in the drive thrust. It is inexpensive.

Evaluating the status of the manual transmission, the worst instance recognizes the 5-speed AV709VA. Increased working noise and difficult gear shift remind of the first signs of wear.

The variator on 2-liter cars without excessive intervention takes place 150,000 kilometers. Further requires replacement of a wedge-wedged strap. The official is corrected for $ 6,000. Turning to a specialized car service, the probability of costs to reduce one thousand appear.

If the rotational sensors are denied on the drive and slave pulley, then the service life of the wedge belt is less. One hundred thousand kilometers - the border of the occurrence of the threat. The variator works in this case in emergency mode. The cones of the pulleys are shifted and limited the speed of thirty kilometers per hour.

The situation when the sensor failure occurs on increased speed The machines, it becomes critical and jerk in the transmission threatens the belt rupture. The probability of a belt break occurs at a reduced speed of movement in cases of blocking the front wheels when parking about the border.

If the belt broke, then tow Primera does not need, it is better to use the tow truck. Towing threatens damage contact surface gears and pulleys parts of a torn belt. Current costs grow in two or three times. The replaced belt eliminates trouble.

The "Japanese" transmission for an accelerated start mates with a torque converter, after which, guided by the commands of the control device, the electric motor shifts the rod of the hydroblock. As a result, the cones are bred either come closer.

In the first machines, the refusal of the electric motor occurs when 100,000 km of mileage is achieved. The pulleys are stopped working, as a result, the transfer ratio is fixed. As a result, the machine changes the speed of movement only within the batteries of the motor. The fault allows you to easily drive to the car service. The stepping electromotor along with work will be 400 dollars. The planned replacement is provided after every 60,000 kilometers of travel.

Suspension on the example of P12

Pendants on the first Nissan Example P12. (photo Further) ended with fastening racks of stabilizers. Profitability was limited to 30,000 km. Starting from 2004, the automaker made changes, increasing the working time 2 times.

Updating the model, the ball bearings are left without attention. Work implies a mileage of 50,000 kilometers. The original lever in the kit costs $ 200. If you make an unforeseen replacement, it will cost $ 30-40. The work of bearings in the hubs and shock absorbers 2 times productive. Replacing shock absorbers will cost $ 250 per front, and $ 120 for standing from behind.

The device "Scott-Russell" in the suspension is durable in the pendant. Worn silent blocks of the official change and asking for this $ 2,000. Turning to the car service, the costs will be $ 300. The automaker is not provided for repairing the steering mechanism. It is a sample. The wear of the two identical gear or sleeves at the output leads to a replacement of the mechanism - $ 1,000.

Steering thrust are loosened when 100,000 kilometers pass. The glands on the steering shaft leak after 70,000 kilometers. Russian craftsmen are taken for correcting the shortcomings by using acceptable elastic bands and installing non-generated steering. The steering control of the steering wheel is corrected by a new steering rod for $ 75.

A pump ($ 500) of the hydraulic power steering will be in a malfunction if you do not check the degree of fluid in the tank. Sealing tubes and hoses over time lose elasticity, which reduces the volume of the working fluid. Maintaining brake system In good condition, the rear calipers will require expenditures. The cost of original - $ 500 per unit.

The braking anti-lock braking system (ABS) indicator is the unpleasant signal. Cause - Wheel Sensor. The fault is eliminated for $ 300. However, mainly the indicator lights up due to the electrical wiring.

PRIMERA body is quoted differently. The evaluation criterion is the method of galvanized. Only the cars of 2007 were processed by 2-sided electroplating galvanized, with full immersion of the body into zinc electrolyte. This method reliably protects the body. The remaining predecessors were partially treated by the type of cold galvanized - by applying a zinc-containing coating to critical faces of the body. Buying a used car, attention is drawn by the year of release and place of hidden cavities and junctions.

Humidity does not gear the electronics of the car. Rear lights suffer inconvenience from outdated wiring and boards. Each replacement will cost $ 100. Difficulties occur with the ignition unit intended for transformation direct current In the electrical network of the machine in the high voltage voltage required for the functioning of xenon headlights. Without it, the headlight does not work. Separately not for sale, only assembled with the headlight. Price per set - 800 dollars.
