Car Nissan Almera, factory designation N16E, production started in 2000. He was going to Japan and Sunderland (England). Japanese assembly, of course, was preferable, but these cars are very little, they produced only 11 months, from April 2000 to March 2001. Find out where the car was produced, it is possible for VIN-code. The "Japanese", he begins to J, while the "English" - by S. Almera cars manned mainly by two types of engines: QG15DE and QG18DE. Theoretically, they could face another two powertrains, including diesel, but it's really quite exotic, therefore, dwell on the most popular options. The car is fairly simple in design and maintenance, but the owners need to consider some "moments". The most unpleasant is associated with an engine capacity of 1.8 liters. It is already known to all and Almera, and the Primera P12E. QG18DE prone to immoderate appetite oily, and change the rings not solve this problem. Actually, it generally does not resolve because, on the assertions of dealers in the development of the engine does not take into account the reversibility of the movement of exhaust gases. When the engine at certain conditions, there is a vacuum in the exhaust manifold, and destroyed part of the ceramic catalyst, which is located directly beneath it, sucked into the cylinders. Therefore, from buying Almera 1.8 liter engine with many experts recommend to abstain. Polutoralitrovy unit, unlike its more powerful sibling, raises no objections - a reliable and unpretentious. Causes some criticism of ILAC (with QG15DE is only the "mechanics"). When driving in city traffic jams on this mechanism is rarely "stand up" more than 140 thousand kilometers. Problem solved bulkhead boxes. Disassembly, Troubleshooting, order parts, assembly - it can take a month or more. However, it is so expensive and long - most importantly to the PPC and then failed to correctly assemble. However, not all of the Knights of the wrench and a sledgehammer, "it turns out the first time. Suspension and steering troubles do not deliver, if not participate in extreme races. Front - the standard "McPherson" stabilizer bar, rear - beam with a proprietary "nissanovskim" Scott-Russell mechanism. Special mention deserves steering rack. Tie rod ends on it do not change, only the mechanism of assembly. Previously, Nissan tricks like myself would not allow. Apparently, the alliance with Renault bent old Japanese manufacturer to the tireless care of the customer wallet. If the machine is still under warranty - to change the rail assembly. If not, then the "official" do not hurry. Order from the Arab Emirates will save about half the cost. If your car comes from the Land of the Rising Sun - you are lucky enough not only to the assembly, but also with the rack. You can order any item - pinion mechanism, rods, heads, gaskets, bolts ... Virtually every whim. Another significant difference between the "Japanese" from "European" - the lack of "an Englishman" fuel filter. In "Japanese" and it is worth in the tank, respectively, from time to time needs to be replaced. Almera - highly equipped car in its class, this statement is particularly true for the later years of release. Disc brakes on all wheels, 4-channel ABS, brake system strengthening efforts, airbags, air conditioning, power windows, active head restraints and seat belts with pretensioners - a standard set of options. Sometimes there are "empty" instances with the rear drum brakes without ABS, but it is now rare. And now a few useful tips to owners of cars Nissan Almera, which are no longer under warranty. "Consumables" in the dealers are expensive and not the fact that the better quality. For example, the original brake pads with the inscription Nissan company does Lucas. Some particularly fastidious car owners change them to something softer - such as Allied Nippon. Otherwise, they say, much creaking and stain light alloy wheels food production. Buy food in the stores of spare parts is desirable only in VIN. For example, the spark plugs for 1.5-liter Almera, depending on the model year have a different heat rating number. Agree, it is unpleasant to put on the car hot candle, and then repair the engine, examine, and to sue to try something to recover from the dealer - a long and troublesome. The front pads on vehicles with ABS, and without it - different, and this too must be considered. When replacing rear brake pads need to adjust the mechanism so that the parking brake was operational. Spark plugs Almera makes the Japanese company NGK, so it is better to put them. In order not to spend extra money when replacing brake pads, it may be advisable to buy shoes or Allied Nippon Kashiyama. When replacing brake pads take the same or Nippon Nipparts (the quality they are just slightly more expensive Nippon, but is more common). On the filters especially savings should not - is fraught. In this case Nipparts is fine. This - Dutch "packer" in the same boxes - Japanese products Microfilter. You can also take a Bosch or Mann, but they are significantly more expensive and no better. Generally, most recently with spare parts for Nissan has become much easier. Nissan Motor Rus in 2007 made the same dealers carry out a plan for spare parts. The shops began to appear genuine parts at the lowest price - place them at cost price selling dealers do not comply with the plan. Therefore, before you buy something from a "'officials' do not be lazy to make a small marketing - can save a substantial amount, especially when you have a lot of things, such as body repair. Because of the low-quality gasoline from time to time have to wash the fuel injectors - there's nothing you can do. Here the problem is better to turn to the dealers, they do it often, so it will not harm. If you have problems with idle (eg, swim or very low) again, better to turn to the authorized dealers. As a rule, it is treated in a complex - washing nozzles and throttle valve. Japanese cars are very reliable, but dirt is still afraid. And its here in abundance and on the roads and in the air and in gasoline. Block the throttle will have to remove, wash, set, and then another with "nissanovskogo" motor-tester named Consalt-2 to restore the "lost mutual understanding" between the flap and engine control unit. The well-known problem in the Nissan Almera - fogging headlamps inside. It is well known, and Nissan Motor Rus, so even the most severe and lazy dealers honor their warranty without question. If the car is bought on the secondary market, such an operation, most likely, the former boss has already made. Just a couple of words about the timing. On which we are interested power plants, he continued, with dampers and tensioner. As a rule, during the warranty period, there generally no one peeks. Chain - not belt is not torn. But time is extended. Valves of this is not zagnet, but stretched chain can mess things up a lot of other ills - pacifier grind, rub a hole in the block. Therefore, when buying a car in the secondary market, it is recommended to look under the valve cover. Better if it makes a specialist in normal service, the dealers in such repairs are usually not very competent. At the same time a good idea to check the condition of the tensioner and the camshaft sprocket, pacifier in any case vary with the chain. However, enough about sad. Japanese cars are considered to be the most reliable in the world. Consumer characteristics with respect to the cost of a "Japanese" optimal. Cars are usually built from quality materials, so such as the "Lada" (yesterday, pounding, thundered today, tomorrow blade) will not. Nissan Almera can go a very long time, recalling the fault only quiet and delicate sounds of strangers and waiting when the owner chooses the time to visit the service. Winter problems in proper car does not happen, he is put, even at 35 degrees of frost. First, though pitifully popiskivaet, but after a few minutes everything returns to normal. Dynamics - quite decent, lounge - spacious, trunk - a bulky, well-behaved on the road. Incidentally, the Almera, Nissan employs virtually the same suspension as the car business class - Maxima in bodies 32 and 33. In general, the smaller your pockets and plenty of driving pleasure, which Almera car is quite capable to deliver.
