Nissan Teana J32

The second generation Nissan Teana was introduced in 2008. The model is built on the Nissan D platform, shared with the Nissan Murano and Infiniti JX/QX60. For the Russian market, the car was produced in Japan. In the summer of 2009, assembly started in Russia - in St. Petersburg. In 2011, Theana survived a restyling. The changes affected the interior and taillights. In 2014, there was a change of generations. Nissan Theana looks larger and more solid than it really is, thanks in part to the large number of chrome details in the exterior design. However, the movement in reverse can sometimes cause some difficulties. Parktronics are not provided here, and the rear-view camera is easily contaminated. The salon at Teana is made on conscience and in addition quite wide, even by the standards of business class. The standard audio system is equipped with excellent Bose speakers. Noise insulation is done at a decent level. The flaws in the interior are only about ergonomics. The steering wheel is not adjustable on departure, and the driver's seat has adjustment in height only in rich trim levels, not to mention the lumbar support. Hidden in the armrest buttons control the heated front seats – the decision is also very controversial. The basic version of the sedan was equipped with ABS, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, a full electric package, a multifunctional onboard computer, a CD changer tape recorder and AUX output, four airbags, security alarm and keyless access system to the interior of the “Intelligent Key”. In the top versions there is xenon, leather interior and navigation.

Engines

Nissan Theana was equipped with three petrol atmospheric units. Two of them had a volume of 2.5 liters, but differed in the design of the block. The QR25DE (167 hp) was a row four, and the VQ25DE (182-185 hp) was a V-shaped six. The flagship 3.5-liter V6 with the designation VQ35DE developed 249 hp.

All engines demonstrate exemplary reliability, without showing weaknesses. The gas distribution mechanism is driven by a circuit that usually requires no attention.

Variator.

In pair with the engines, the Jatco variator works: with 2.5 l - JF011E, and with 3.5 l - JF010E. The variator is very capricious and needs regular oil updates - at least once in 50-60 thousand km. There are cases when careful operation in a compartment with regular maintenance allowed to drive to the first repair of almost 400,000 km.

However, after 150,000 km, the probability of failure of the variator increases significantly. A harbinger of trouble will be tremors, jerks, or jerks. Weaknesses - belt, solenoids, hydroblock and reduction valve of oil pump. The differential and bearings can fail. For repairs will have to stock up on an impressive amount - from 60 to 100 thousand rubles. It is worth noting that the model CVT with a 3.5-liter engine is much more durable, and, as a rule, comes for repairs much later.

Transmission

On the market there are also models with all-wheel drive, which were equipped with a 4-cylinder engine QR25DE and a variator. The proprietary all-wheel drive system "All Mode 4x4" in normal conditions most of the traction transfers to the front wheels. The rear wheels are connected by electronic command. For special cases, a mode of forced locking of the interaxial coupling is provided, when the thrust is distributed along the axes in a ratio of 50:50.

There are no serious problems with the transmission yet. Except that, rare cases of failures in the system due to damage to the protective corrugated electric tourniquet, and subsequent moisture.

Walking

Nissan Tiana suspension has a high smoothness. Macpherson's front struts and the multi-link scheme at the rear filter road bumps well. True, soft running settings make the body strongly tilt in corners. The front suspension is not durable. The first to be delivered is the hub bearings - after 60-100 thousand km. They change with the whole hub. The cost of the original is about 9 000 rubles, and the analogue is about 6 000 rubles. The rear stage bearings go longer – more than 150-200 thousand km. The resource of the front shock absorbers is about 100-150 thousand km. The back racks last a little longer. The new original shock absorber will cost 15 000 rubles, the analogue is available from 3 000 rubles. Rear racks are cheaper - 5,000 and from 1,500 rubles, respectively. Next, the front suspension levers may be asked - the Silentblocks wear out. The cost of the new lever is about 10 000 rubles. The rear suspension levers are much more durable. After 50-100 thousand km noticeably lose their former elasticity rear springs, and the feed sags. The disadvantage significantly reduces the already low ground clearance. The new springs won't last long. Many people try to eliminate the flaw by installing pads. On some instances, there was a destruction of the rear stabilizer of transverse stability. The new stabilizer is available only in the original for 8 000 rubles. The steering rack can leak or knock after 100-150 thousand km. Knock can also make a cross in the lower part of the steering shaft. The original is available only in the collection with a shaft - about 15 000 rubles.

Other problems and malfunctions

The body is not prone to corrosion, however, with the elimination of chips, it is better not to pull. The paint coating is not very high quality. Often (after 2-3 years) there was a swelling of paint on the hood and trunk. Owners were forced to repaint damaged items under warranty or at their own expense. Sometimes quickly deteriorated and chrome elements of the external finish.

Over time, the front panel begins to creak in the cabin, and sometimes other interior details. Despite the decent appearance, the leather upholstery of the seats, steering wheel and gear selector is not durable. The scuffs may appear after 30-70 thousand km.

Some owners complain about the longitudinal backlash of the driver's seat - the rubber gasket wears out, or the gears in the seat drive break.

The fan motor of the heater is located to the filter. As a result, garbage gets on him, and he begins to make noise. To disappear the noise, it is enough to remove the motor and heat up all the garbage: leaves and needles, and sometimes it is not clear where the piece of seal fell out.

To issue extraneous sounds can and motor drive one of the flaps of the climate installation. He starts buzzing or gnashing. Motor lubrication doesn't always help. Most often, it is already worn out. The manufacturer provides for the replacement of the drive unit in the collection - about 5 000 rubles. However, you can find a new motor (up to 1000 rubles) and replace it only.
