Nissan Teana J31

The first generation Nissan Teana debuted in 2003. In 2006, the model went through a restyling. The sedan received updated headlights and taillights, a chrome-plated bumper trim and enlarged fog lamps. In 2008, there was a change of generations. The driver and front passenger are comfortable inside. But the back will feel comfortable people of average height. It's a little cramped up here. The trunk, although large, is not the most spacious - only 476 liters.

Engines

Theana was equipped exclusively with gasoline atmospherics: two 4-cylinder, and two 6-cylinder.

All engines are quite reliable. They are equipped with a chain-type HRM drive, which is capable of serving more than 300,000 km. The engines themselves, before the first overhaul, as a rule, run more than 500,000 km. But first, you will have to change the ignition coils and the valve cover laying. The first time, after about 150,000 km.

With a run of more than 200-250 thousand km, oil consumption can significantly increase. Most often it is all about the PCV valve (ventilation valve of crankcase gases). In this case, the oil can be found in the intake manifold. Less likely is the occurrence of rings, which occurs when using low-quality oil and tightening with its replacement.

When knocking and vibrations appear after 100-150 thousand km, one of the engine pillows will have to be replaced. There are four of them: two hydraulic - from 4 000 rubles, and two usual - from 2 000 rubles.

Unpleasant rattling and vibrations can also be caused by worn-out damper valves. For two round dampers will have to pay about 5 000 rubles.

Transmission

4-speed hydromechanical automatic was installed with all engines, except for the top. For the 3.5-liter unit, a continuously variable variator and 6-speed mechanics were stocked. The last combination is very exotic.

All automatic transmissions are developed by the Japanese company Jatco. They need regular oil renewal – once every 60,000 km. Otherwise, the oil ages, the pressure in the circuit drops, and the wear of the box elements increases.

The first troubles with automatic transmission can occur after 200-250 thousand km. In addition to the classic symptoms (shocks and slips), another one is manifested - the reverse is lost. It is worth noting that small kicks when switching from the first to the second is a special feature of the Teanovo machine.

The variator for most owners was less tenacious. First of all, because of the sporty manner of driving and neglect of timely update of the transmission fluid. Problems often appeared after 100-150 thousand km. There were tremors, howls, whistles, lost traction. For more caring and calm drivers, the variator can travel 250-350 thousand km. The cost of repair will be 40-60 thousand rubles, and in neglected cases it reaches 100 000 rubles.

Walking

Theana's suspension does a good job of handling minor irregularities, but real bumps work out too loudly. The sedan is quite obedient in corners, and the body rolls are small.

Some owners from the first kilometers complained of knocking in the running room. Many mechanics believe that it is all about shock absorbers. Fortunately, the Silentblocks and ballrooms do not require attention up to 150-200 thousand km.

The steering rack can knock after 100,000 km, and later and leak. At the same time, a replacement of the GUR pump may be necessary.

Over time, owners notice malfunctions in the ABS, accompanied by the appearance of an error. Often it is possible to solve the problem of cleaning magnetic tape, less often you have to change the sensor. The main thing to remember is that you can not skate with a mistake for a long time. This inevitably leads to the failure of the ABS block. The cost of the new block is 120 000 rubles, "beu" can be found for 10 000 rubles. However, the native unit will be able to restore in a specialized service.

Other problems and malfunctions

The body is not prone to corrosion, but age takes its toll. When inspecting the oldest cars, you can notice a “bubble” of the coating on the trunk lid, wheel arches and chrome elements.

After 150-200 thousand km, sometimes the arrow of the fuel pointer begins to be screwed. Sometimes the sensor itself is to blame, but more often it is all about the control unit of measuring instruments and climate control. It is responsible for processing the signal from the sensor. The disease is eliminated by soldering contacts.

The air conditioner compressor can fail after 150-200 thousand km. For a new one will have to pay about 30 000 rubles.

There are often problems with door locks, especially with the driver’s room. The castle stops opening from the outside. The reason is the wear of the activator, motor or gears. The operation of the lock can be restored by replacing faulty elements.

Over time, the back of the driver's seat begins to luft. Fortunately, the disease is treated quite simply.

Today, the Nissan Teana J31 of the first years of production can be taken for 300 000 rubles. The most recent copies are available for 500-600 thousand rubles. Among the proposals, cars with a 2.3-liter engine dominate.

Nissan Theana is a reliable car, albeit with some reservations. Most of the faults are due to a decent age, large mileage and carelessness of owners. Therefore, a thorough examination and diagnosis, especially of the variator, is mandatory.

Shows, bargaining and re-registration take time: buyers look, promise to think and disappear. Fair price after inspection closes the auction on the spot. If money is needed urgently, the purchase takes away waiting and repeat displays.

Leave a request with the car data. We will discuss the preliminary assessment and inspection. After checking the status and documents, we agree on the final price and terms of the transaction.
