3. Manual transmission
4. Half-shafts with constant velocity joints.
ALL discussions are in this thread!

Manual transmission 1.6l
32275-4M401 Nissan Gearbox bearing 1 piece in the box will contain NSK bearing No. 6304 (i.e. you can take an open bearing of any company with the number 6304)
32219-4M402 Nissan Output shaft bearing 2 pieces in a box of the original KOYO ET30304JRYAI, or NTN marking ET30304STRPXI
38440-5U402 Nissan Gearbox shaft bearing 2 pcs (differential) KOYO No. 30208 JR or the same company NSK No. 30208 (original code 38440-5U401)
32203-18000 Nissan Gearbox bearing 1 piece in the box will contain NSK bearing No. 6305 (i.e. you can take an open bearing of any company with the number 6305)

this is for a 5MT box with a 1.6 motor. although such bearings and on many other boxes are used by Nissan.

and also omitted information about two needle bearings (they stand on the shafts) because they are usually in good condition 32264-62Y00 2 pieces
if 1.6 then after 06.2004 the bearings are similar

one difference in the differential bearings of the entire production period is (as far as I understood from the phrase in the Exist select use) the suppliers were different on the conveyor and someone had NSK and someone had KOYO and the code 38440-5U401 and 38440-5U402, respectively , although according to VIN Nissan FAST gives out both numbers, so it doesn't really matter whose firm the bearing is.

Nissan Primera P12. Removing and installing clutch

The main malfunctions, for the elimination of which it is necessary to remove and disassemble the clutch:

- increased (compared to the usual) noise when engaging the clutch;

- jerks during clutch operation;

- incomplete engagement of the clutch (the clutch "slips");

- incomplete disengagement of the clutch (the clutch "leads"),

___________ Useful advice

If the clutch fails, we recommend replacing all its elements at the same time (driven and pressure discs, clutch release bearing), since the process of replacing the clutch is laborious, and the resource of intact clutch elements has already been reduced.If installed again, it may be necessary to replace the clutch again after relatively low mileage.

You will need: a 12 "socket wrench.

... and a mandrel for centering the driven disc (can be made from the input shaft of the gearbox by removing the gears).

Follow the steps below to remove the clutch from a vehicle equipped with a QG 16 DE or QG 18 DE engine.

1. Remove the transmission (see "Removing and installing the transmission", page 177).

2. If you are going to install the old pressure plate, mark in any way (for example, paint) the relative position of the disc casing and the flywheel to set the pressure plate to its original position (to maintain balance).

3. While holding the flywheel with a screwdriver, remove the six bolts securing the clutch pressure plate cover to the flywheel. Loosen the tightening of the bolts evenly: one turn of the wrench each, going from bolt to bolt in diameter.

4. Remove the shroud and clutch disc.

5. Inspect the clutch disc. Cracks on the details of the driven disc are not allowed.

6. Check the degree of wear of the friction linings. If the rivet heads are recessed by less than 0.3 mm, the surface of the friction linings is oiled or the rivet joints are loose, then the driven disc must be replaced.

If the friction disc lining is oiled, check the condition of the transmission input shaft oil seal. It may need to be replaced.

7. Check that the damper springs are securely fixed in the nave of the driven disc by trying to move them in the nave by hand. If the springs move easily in their seats or are broken, replace the disc.

8. Check the runout of the driven disk around the perimeter relative to the central splines (Table 6.1). If a visual inspection reveals a warped disc, replace it.

9. Inspect the flywheel friction surfaces.

10. and pressure plate, paying attention to the absence of deep scratches, scoring, nicks, obvious signs of wear and overheating. Replace defective parts.

11.When the riveted joints of the casing parts and the pressure plate are loosened, replace the pressure plate assembly.

12. By visual inspection, assess the condition of the pressure plate diaphragm spring. No cracks in the diaphragm spring are allowed. The contact points of the spring petals with the clutch release bearing should be in the same plane and not have obvious signs of wear (wear should not exceed 0.8 mm). Otherwise, replace the pressure plate assembly.

Table 6.1 Runout and free

Maximum allowable runout / diameter of the measured section, mm, no more

Maximum allowable travel in splines, mm

13. Inspect the casing and disc couplings. If the links are deformed or broken, replace the pressure plate assembly.

14. Before installing the clutch, check the ease of movement of the driven disc along the splines of the input shaft of the gearbox. Eliminate the cause of binding or replace defective parts as necessary.

15. Apply a high-melting grease to the splines of the driven disc hub.

16. When installing the clutch, first install the driven disc using a mandrel, and then on the three centering pins, the pressure plate casing and screw the casing bolts to the flywheel.

Please note that when installing the driven disc on the mandrel, the protruding part of its hub should be directed towards the pressure spring of the clutch cover.

17. Tighten the clutch cover mounting bolts evenly, in the order shown in fig. 6.5, barely a stage:

- 1st - tighten with a torque of 9.9-19 Nm (1.0-2.0 kgf-m);

- 2nd - tighten with a torque of 22-29 Nm (2.2-3.0 kgf-m).

18. Remove the mandrel and install the transmission.

19. Check the clutch operation (see "Checking and adjusting the clutch release drive", page 74).

1. Remove the gearbox (see "Removing and installing the gearbox", p.177).

2. If you are going to install the old pressure plate, mark in any way (for example, paint) the relative position of the disc casing and the flywheel to set the pressure plate to its original position (to maintain balance).

3. While holding the flywheel with a screwdriver, remove the six bolts securing the clutch pressure plate cover to the flywheel. Loosen the tightening of the bolts evenly: one turn of the wrench each, going from bolt to bolt in diameter.

4. Remove the shroud and clutch disc.

5. Inspect the clutch disc. Cracks on the details of the driven disc are not allowed.

b. Check the wear of the friction linings. If the rivet heads are recessed by less than 0.3 mm, the surface of the friction linings is oiled or the rivet joints are loose, replace the driven disc.

If the friction disc lining is oiled, check the condition of the transmission input shaft oil seal. It may need to be replaced.

7. Check the runout of the driven disc. If during visual inspection it is found to be warped and the runout exceeds 1.0 mm on the diameter of the measured area less than 218 mm, replace the disc.

8. Inspect the flywheel friction surfaces.

9. . and pressure plate, paying attention to the absence of deep marks, scoring, nicks, obvious signs of wear and overheating. Replace defective parts.

10. By visual inspection, assess the condition of the pressure plate diaphragm spring. No cracks in the diaphragm spring are allowed. The contact points of the spring petals with the clutch release bearing must be in the same plane and have no obvious signs of wear (wear should not exceed 0.7 mm). Otherwise, replace the pressure plate assembly.

11. Check the clutch cover thrust washer for wear or breakage. Knock

hammer on the casing. If you hear a sound like the ticking of a watch when tapping, the thrust ring is worn out. A ringing sound made when the clutch cover is shaken indicates a broken thrust ring.

12. Inspect the casing and disc couplings. If the links are deformed or broken, replace the pressure plate assembly.

13. Before installing the clutch, check the ease of movement of the driven disc along the splines of the input shaft of the transmission. Eliminate the cause of binding or replace defective parts as necessary.

14. Apply a high-melting grease to the splines of the driven disc hub.

15. When installing the clutch, first install the driven disc using a mandrel, and then on the three centering pins, the pressure plate casing, then screw the casing bolts to the flywheel.

16. Tighten the clutch cover mounting bolts evenly in the order shown in fig. b.b, in two stages:

- 1st - tighten the bolts to a torque of 9.9 "19 Nm (1.0-2.0 kgf-m);

- 2nd - tighten the bolts to a torque of 34-44 Nm (3.5-4.5 kgf-m).

17. Remove the mandrel and install the transmission.

18. Check the clutch operation (see "Checking and adjusting the clutch release drive", page 74).

Customer complaints: The transmission is jammed.

Check point troubleshooting: The front bearing of the secondary shaft was destroyed and the journal of the driven shaft was worn off at the bearing installation site, which led to the chipping of the teeth on the primary shaft and in first gear.

In the early 2000s, the car manufacturer Nissan launched the Nissan Primera P12 "space car" with a manual transmission in its lineup. It was a masterpiece of that time, an unusual body design, a car interior with a dash like in science fiction films about the future. Many looked with envy at the owners of Nissan P12 Examples. The people gave the car the nickname "snowdrift" because of the unusual body shape.

But, like all even the most fantastic cars have their weaknesses. This is a manual transmission. One of the most common failures of the Nissan manual transmission Examples of P12 is a differential malfunction, most often in the winter period, since the car slips a lot because of this breaks down in the manual transmission: satellites (differential gears).

The third and latest generation Nissan Primera (codename P12) was introduced in 2001 and production of the mid-size car began in June 2002. The examples were assembled in Japan and Great Britain (for the Russian and European markets). The Primera was offered as a four-door sedan, five-door hatchback and station wagon. In 2004, Primera underwent restyling, which affected the interior and a number of technical solutions. In 2007, the car was discontinued.

The engine range included four gasoline engines with a working volume of 1.6 liters (QG16DE) 109 hp, 1.8 liters (QG18DE) 116 hp, 2.0 (QR20DE) 140 hp. and 2.5 L (QR25DD) 170 hp. A diesel unit with direct injection with a working volume of 2.2 liters (YD22ET) with a capacity of 126 hp was also installed. In 2003, the diesel was replaced by two others with a Common Rail system: 1.9L (F9Q) 120 hp. and 2.2 L (YD22DDTI) 139 hp. In 2006, with the entry into Europe of the new environmental standards Euro-4, diesels were taken out of production, so they corresponded to Euro-3 standards, and the installation of mandatory particulate filters would require a lot of money from the manufacturer.

Gasoline engines up to 150-200 thous.km do not cause problems, but after that a "maslozhor" often appears, and the timing chain is pulled. For the replacement of the chain, you will have to pay about 10-12 thousand rubles. The increased oil consumption is caused by the loss of elasticity of the valve stem seals and the occurrence of the valve stem rings. A set of piston rings will cost 1-2 thousand rubles, and their replacement will cost 20-25 thousand rubles.

After a long stay in severe winter frosts, 2-liter engines are often started with great difficulty. Problem areas of the rare QR25: fuel injectors, loose intake manifold flap screws and cylinder head gasket.

With a mileage of more than 150-200 thousand km, there are also cases of failure of the starter (repair is about 2-3 thousand rubles), the fuel pump (1-5 thousand rubles for an analogue and 7-10 thousand rubles for the original).

Interruptions in engine operation are often caused by a failure of the camshaft or crankshaft position sensor. For a new original sensor, they will ask for about 1-2 thousand rubles, for an analogue - about 700-900 rubles. The MAF sensor (DFID) also becomes the culprit for the interruptions. The cost of the original sensor is about 4-6 thousand rubles, the analogue is about 2-3 thousand rubles. Failure of these sensors directly affects the operation of the automatic transmission - "automatic" and the variator.

On 2.2 DCi diesel engines, there have been cases of failure of the engine control unit and the boost pressure sensor.

Nissan Primera was completed with three types of boxes: "mechanics", variator and "automatic". A 5-speed manual transmission was installed on cars with a 1.6 liter engine, and a 6-speed manual transmission was installed on other modifications. The variator was installed on Examples with a 2-liter engine, as well as on "Japanese" Primera with a 2.5 liter gasoline engine. A 4-speed automatic transmission could be installed on all other modifications of the Nissan Primera.

A 5 manual transmission, paired with a 1.6 liter engine, often failed when the vehicle was driven over 80-120 thousand km. Individual boxes drove up to 150-180 thousand km. The reason is a constructive miscalculation: the box was intended for a weaker motor. As a result, during operation, a hum appeared, the gears began to switch on with difficulty, then they just flew out, and a little later a hole appeared in the box body. The culprit is the secondary shaft bearing, which collapsed from loads, the secondary shaft shifted and broke the box body. The cost of a new box is about 80-100 thousand rubles, and a complete bulkhead is about 30-50 thousand rubles. Repair of the box is possible if the case did not end with a breakdown of the case. The 6-speed manual transmission, unlike its younger brother, is almost eternal. Therefore, many owners of Primera with a 1.6 liter engine, instead of repairing a 5 manual transmission, prefer to install an analogue of a 6 manual transmission. This box gets along well with a 1.6 liter engine, and the cost of a used unit is about 40-50 thousand rubles, which is comparable to the cost of repairs, and, moreover, “forever” gets rid of troubles.

Problems with the continuously variable CVT variator and the gearbox going into emergency mode are often caused by the failure of the step motor (responsible for "gear shifting", 4-5 thousand rubles) or one of the 2 variator speed sensors (2-3 thousand rubles each). rubles). Failures can also cause incorrect readings from the crankshaft position sensors, camshaft position or MAF sensor. To prevent troubles from being caught by surprise, it is recommended to preventively change the sensors every 100-120 thousand km, the service life of which in practice is about 130-150 thousand km.

With a mileage of more than 150-200 thousand km, there are cases of a break in the variator belt. The reason is damage or wedging of the sliding parts of the cone, as a result of clogging of the hydraulics (oil channels for controlling the operation of the box) with wear products. Jolts or vibrations when accelerating or while driving in certain modes indicate that a serious problem is approaching. After replacing the belt, the variator will most likely no longer work correctly and may soon fail again.The process of clogging the channels for controlling wear products is practically irreversible, and it is almost impossible to flush the clogged channels. It is cheaper to buy a contract box (used with a guarantee) - about 20-40 thousand rubles. With regular replacement of sensors and oil, the service life of the CVT will be at least 250-300 thousand km.

4-speed "automatic" is much more reliable than a continuously variable transmission. The peculiarity of the box is jolts during acceleration when switching from 1st to 2nd, while the automatic transmission is not warmed up. Problems with the box arise with high mileage, more than 250-350 thousand km, due to wear of the clutches. As a rule, the approach of repair is indicated by the appearance of a long pause when trying to start driving in the "R" mode - reverse. The cost of a repair kit is about 10-15 thousand rubles, and the cost of repairs is about 40-50 thousand rubles.

The first in the Nissan Primera suspension with a mileage of more than 80-120 thousand km are bushings (200-300 rubles per pair) and struts (500-1000 rubles per piece) of the front and rear anti-roll bar. Shock absorbers (3-4 thousand rubles) serve more than 100-150 thousand km. The front suspension arms go the same way - the lower ball joints and silent blocks wear out. The cost of the lower original lever is about 8-14 thousand rubles, the analogue is about 2-6 thousand rubles. It is cheaper to repress a worn-out element: the cost of a ball joint is about 500-1000 rubles, a silent block is about 600-700 rubles. The resource of the node after replacement is about 50-70 thousand km.

Hub bearings serve more than 150-200 thousand km. The cost of the original hub is about 5-9 thousand rubles, the analogue is about 2-3 thousand rubles.

Steering rods and tips run more than 60-100 thousand km. The cost of the original tip is about 1,000 rubles, the analogue - about 200-600 rubles, the steering rod - the original about 1,500 rubles, the analogue - about 600-1000 rubles.

Knocking, backlash or wedging in the steering with a mileage of more than 100-150 thousand km are caused by wear of the bearings of the lower cross-piece of the steering shaft - 500-600 rubles. After 100-150 thousand km, the upper oil seal of the steering rack often begins to leak. The cost of the repair kit is about 3-4 thousand rubles.

Extraneous sounds when driving irregularities can be caused by the front springs - the lower coil hits the spring or the rear calipers - wear of the guide bushings.

After 5-6 years of operation of Nissan Primera, plastic door glass holders often fall apart. Original holders come only with power windows, the cost of an unoriginal repair kit, which includes cables that sometimes break, is about 4-5 thousand rubles.

Some owners of the Example notice the appearance of knocking, rattling or grinding in the rear of the car. On examination, a tear is found in the "glass" (body cup) of the rear shock absorber or a metal partition behind the back of the rear seat. For the elimination of the crack and "welding" the amplifier in the body service will ask for about 15-18 thousand rubles.

Often the trunk opening button causes problems: over time, the rubber seal breaks, moisture gets inside, the contacts oxidize and "rot".

On older specimens, the outer plastic door handles often "fall off" and the door locks fail.

After 150-200 thousand km, the heater motor may whistle. The cost of the original motor is about 10 thousand rubles, the analogue is about 5 thousand rubles.

Problems with the Primera electrics are the most common malfunctions that begin to prevail after 100-150 thousand km. So sometimes the climate control stops functioning correctly - warm air blows from the ducts. There are several reasons: a dust-clogged climate air temperature sensor, or a burnout of a transistor or thermistor in the heater control unit (150-200 rubles). The block burns out due to wear of the bushings of the heater motor: a large current is required to rotate the electric motor.

Due to the loss of the integrity of the contact tracks in the microcircuit or the burnout of the voltage stabilizer transistor on the DVD board, the image on the central display often disappears, the on-board computer starts to "glitch", the heater fan does not turn off, the radio does not work, and the buttons do not work, except for the rear heating button glass. The cost of the new block is about 7 thousand rubles.

A common situation: the owner turns the ignition key, and in response, silence. In this case, the immobilizer icon may light up.After a series of unsuccessful attempts, the engine still starts. The reason is not in the starter, but in the loss of contact with the immobilizer antenna. Less often, the system “loses” the key, or the key chip fails.

Due to oxidation of the contacts on the ground wire of the rear lights, pressing the brake pedal may turn on the camera, and when the turn signal is turned on, the car starts to twitch in time with the flickering.

Errors on the front ABS sensors are caused by breaking the wire behind the wheel arch liner.

Native alarm system Nissan Primera often pesters with false alarms. Nobody succeeded in finding the true culprit. It is unrealistic to cure the standard alarm, it is easier to turn it off, which was done by the overwhelming majority of owners.

Production of the third generation Nissan Primera was discontinued in the spring of 2007 due to falling popularity and low demand for the car around the world.

In 2001, Nissan introduced the world Nissan Primera P12 - the third generation of Primera cars, replacing the Bluebird model in Europe. The car was assembled in conveyor mode from 2002 to 2007, but the design has not lost its modern appearance even now. It is a pity that the production of the model was discontinued in 2007. It was replaced by the Nissan Bluebird Sylphy.

The reason for this was the Japanese dissatisfaction with the build quality of the car produced in the UK. In the opinion of the Japanese, the reliability of the model does not meet Japanese standards. Dislike for Nissan Primera P12 the Japanese have a mutual relationship with the Europeans. The former were scolded for the lack of the vaunted Japanese reliability of the machines assembled by the Europeans. The second did not like the look very much, which did not make the new car popular in the sales market.

Primera P12 received moral support from Russian motorists. In the middle class, the model confidently took its place in the leading three. Demand has exceeded expectations. For 6 years, 40,000 cars were sold, and 2003 was marked by leadership in the sales segment. The appearance of the hero in the secondary market prompts a review of the technical condition.

Among Russians, cars equipped with a gasoline engine with a displacement of 1.8 and 1.6 liters have gained popularity. The share of demand for this category reaches eighty percent. The rest comes from cars with 2-liter engines.

On the secondary market in the European part of Russia, there are Primera and other configurations, but this is rather an exception. These are pure Japanese with a 2.5 liter engine operating on the principle of direct injection of a fuel mixture. There are 2-liter configurations with increased power up to 204 liters. With. These motors have a changed valve timing and valve travel. Diesel Europeans with a purely Japanese 2.2 liter engine are rare. or French 1.9.

There are few used Primera diesel engines on the market. They require careful analysis, as they are characterized by the intervention of car mechanics during the warranty period. Change the turbocharger, intercooler or engine. Mostly this is a purely Japanese technique.

Cars with French engines in a different state. The owner does not deliver much worries, except for the reaction to the quality of diesel fuel. However, this is not an indication of the superiority of the French engine. The secret lies in the motor resource - Europe is closer.

Two hundred and fifty thousand kilometers is a feasible distance for a gasoline engine. Periodically, it is required to adjust the valve clearances with washers, change the drive chain on the gas distribution mechanism after 130,000 kilometers. When operating the machine in high-speed modes, replacement will be required more often. The premise is that the engine is cold and vibrates.

Replacing the chain requires removal of the motor, which collectively costs more than $ 1,000. Correction is required, as there is a risk of the motor stopping at high speeds or difficulty starting. The reason for this is an error in the camshaft sensor.

Practical analysis of engines with a volume of 1.8 and 2.0 liters.revealed on the first Primera the weakness of the catalytic converter combined with the outlet manifold. The result of the malfunction was breakdowns in the piston group. The automatic control system reacts to a fault with a delay. The warning light comes on late. During the signal delay time, the honeycomb ceramics gets inside the cylinder. If such a misfortune occurred during the warranty period, then the rings planted on the outer surfaces of the pistons, catalytic manifolds, and in advanced cases, the engine, changed without any problems.

Self-service catalyst replacement is priced at $ 600. At 4,000 US dollars, the replacement of the cylinder block for the 2-liter engine will be. Attachments are not taken into account. Taking an already used engine that has worked in Europe and Japan, the repair costs will be $ 1,500 - $ 2,000.

Non-dynamic behavior of the engine and increased oil consumption become a harbinger of future breakdowns. Practice shows that when approaching 60,000 kilometers in especially neglected cases, the engine consumes up to one liter of oil per 1,000 kilometers.

The Nissan company took into account the working shortcomings of the engine and, through new pistons aimed at increasing oil drainage, and modernized oil scraper rings, improved performance. The two-liter engine, in addition, was equipped with the firmware of the control unit, which protects the converter. An additional plus manifested itself in the winter starting of the engine - candles are not poured. The catalytic manifold has also undergone a change - the filler honeycombs are located farther than the engine.

After the intervention of Japanese engineers, the operation of air flow sensors became more reliable. Who remembers, then for old motors the sensor stopped working before reaching the one hundred thousandth milestone in the engine mileage. Russian car owners changed the sensors to cheaper ones from the VAZ-2110. If you change to a standard sensor, it will cost $ 1,000.

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

Five-speed manual transmission (manual gearbox) works exactly up to a run of 100,000 kilometers. This is the threshold for the planned replacement of the friction clutch - $ 300. Here the bearings of the manual transmission shafts are buzzing. It is better to fix the flaw by spending $ 600, since when fixing the bearing, the correction is achieved by going through the box, which will cost more.

There are 6-speed manual transmissions on cars with a 2-liter engine or automatic transmission, coupled with 1.8-liter engines. Reliability is consistent with the Japanese approach with proper care:

• it is required to replace the working fluid in the automatic transmission (automatic gearbox) after every 60,000 km;
• for manual transmissions, an oil change is recommended every 80,000;

A used car is manifested by a fuzzy gear connection to the manual transmission. Sharpness is restored by replacing the bushing in the drive rod. It is inexpensive.

Assessing the condition of the manual transmission, the 5-speed AV709VA is recognized as the worst instance. Increased operating noise and difficult gear changes remind you of the first signs of wear.

The variator on 2-liter cars covers 150,000 kilometers without unnecessary intervention. Then the worn V-belt needs to be replaced. Officials correct for $ 6,000. Turning to a specialized car service, it is likely that the costs will be reduced to one thousand.

If the rotation sensors on the drive and driven pulley fail, the V-belt will have a shorter life. One hundred thousand kilometers is the border of the threat. The variator works in this case in emergency mode. The cones of the pulleys move and limit the speed of movement to thirty kilometers per hour.

A situation where sensor failure occurs at an increased vehicle speed becomes critical and a jerk in the transmission threatens to break the belt.The likelihood of a belt breaking also occurs at a reduced speed in cases of blocking of the front wheels when parking on a curb.

If the belt breaks, then no need to tow Primera, it is better to use a tow truck. Towing may damage the contact surface of the pinion and pulleys from parts of the torn belt. The cost of fixing it doubles or triples. Replaced belt eliminates troubles.

The transmission of the "Japanese" for an accelerated start is mated with a torque converter, after which, guided by the commands of the control device, the electric motor shifts the valve body stem. As a result, the cones expand or move closer together.

On the first cars, the electric motor failure occurs when reaching 100,000 km of run. The pulleys stop working, as a result, the gear ratio is fixed. As a result, the machine changes its speed only within the limits of the engine speed. The malfunction allows you to independently drive to the car service. The stepper motor, along with the work, will cost $ 400. A planned replacement is foreseen after every 60,000 kilometers of travel.

Suspension first Nissan Primera P12 (Photo further) were endowed with weak stabilizer struts. Working capacity was limited to 30,000 km. Since 2004, the automaker has made changes, increasing the working period by 2 times.

When updating the model, the ball joints in front were ignored. The work assumes a mileage of 50,000 kilometers. The original lever in the kit costs $ 200. If you tinker with an unintended replacement, it will cost $ 30-40. The work of bearings in hubs and shock absorbers is 2 times more productive. Replacing the shock absorbers will cost $ 250 for the front shocks and $ 120 for the rear ones.

The Scott Russell device in the rear suspension is robust. Officials change worn-out silent blocks and ask for $ 2,000. By contacting a car service, the costs will be $ 300. The car manufacturer does not provide for the repair of the steering mechanism. He is a rack and pinion sample. The wear of two identical gear racks or bushings at the output leads to the replacement of the mechanism - $ 1,000.

The steering rods are loose when traveling 100,000 kilometers. The seals on the steering shaft are leaking after 70,000 kilometers. Russian craftsmen take on the correction of shortcomings by using rubber bands of acceptable size and installing non-model steering rods. The knocking steering wheel control is corrected by a new $ 75 steering-rod cross.

The power steering pump ($ 500) will malfunction if the fluid level in the reservoir is not checked. Sealing tubes and hoses lose their elasticity over time, which reduces the volume of the working fluid. Keeping the braking system in good working order will require the expense of the rear calipers. The cost of the original is $ 500 per unit.

The anti-lock braking system (ABS) indicator illuminated is an unpleasant signal. The reason is the wheel sensor. The malfunction will be fixed for $ 300. However, mainly the indicator lights up due to deteriorated electrical wiring.

The body of Primera is galvanized in different ways. The evaluation criterion is the method of galvanizing. Only 2007 cars were treated with 2-sided galvanized zinc, with full immersion of the body in zinc electrolyte. This method reliably protects the body. The rest of the predecessors were processed partially according to the type of cold galvanizing - by applying a zinc-containing coating to critical parts of the body. When buying a used car, attention is paid to the year of manufacture and the location of cavities and joints.

Humidity does not spare the car electronics. The taillights suffer from outdated wiring and circuit boards. Replacing each will cost $ 100. Difficulties occur with the ignition unit, designed to convert direct current in the electrical network of the machine into high-voltage voltage necessary for the functioning of xenon headlights. The headlight does not work without it. Not for sale separately, only complete with headlamp.The price per set is $ 800.

The electronics regularly remind you of the age of the car. The airbag health indicator is on, or a radio receiver with an on-board computer reminds of itself - check the contacts of electrical devices.

In the winter period of operation, window regulators are endangered. The formed ice fixes the glass. The desire to lower it leads to the separation of the holder. It is plastic and breaks frequently. You need to fix it without delay. As the air temperature rises, the glass is not fixed and will go down.

Prevents the fan from operating in only one speed mode or a complete malfunction; attentive attitude to the condition of the cabin filter. The reason is a malfunction of the transistor air mass speed controller.

A rear view camera is a necessary purchase. On older cars, it is unreasonably switched on by pressing the brake pedal. The reason is the wiring to the taillights.

It is not without reason that Primera did not satisfy even automakers in terms of reliability. From the Nissan family, the car turned out to be unreliable. However, among the model, there are noteworthy options - a modernized Nissan Primera with a 2-liter engine and a manual transmission.
