Nissan X-Trail is a compact SUV, the production of which began in 2001. The X-Trail of the 1st generation received the factory designation T30. It was built on the Nissan FF-S platform, which underlies the popular Nissan Primera and Almera. In 2004, X-Trail has undergone a small restyling. The release of the crossover continued until 2007, then the second generation was replaced by replacing - T-31.
The SUV won the hearts of the rustic rest lovers and became very popular. Those who wish to acquire a universal oscidence with ease will find no little ads about its sale. A large and spacious crossover with uncrowable off-road abilities for a reasonable price is a good offer. But ... Is everything so smooth? Walk along the following!
Engines
Nissan X-Trail Motors Line includes two gasoline and one diesel unit. The first were presented 2 liter (QR20DE, 140 hp) and 2.5-liter (QR25DE, 165 hp).
Nissan engines of the QR series are sick of rapid rings due to an unsuccessful oil waste system in the valve lid. In 2004, the piston design was improved, and the number of problems has decreased slightly. The engines of this series begin to take oil while running a little more than 100,000 km, and the catastrophic situation becomes at a mark of 150 - 190 thousand km with an oil consumption of 2-3 liters by 10,000 km. Most often, this problem overtakes the motors with a working volume of 2.5 liters. The replacement of the rings with oil-challenge caps will cost 30,000 rubles. I would like to note that the gasoline engines have too many major repairs caused by extensive oil consumption, and even before the mark of 200,000 km ...
When running more than 140 - 160 thousand km, the appearance of oil in the candlestones due to the "refined" glands. They can be replaced as assembly with the lid of the valves (5-6 thousand rubles), as many car services advise, and separately - only the seals themselves, which will be released much cheaper.
The chain can stretch after 140 - 160 thousand km, which will cause interruptions in the engine, the trim and the loss of thrust. By this time, there may be a chain tensioner line.
After 160 - 180 thousand km, most likely, you have to clean the throttle. Her pollution makes it difficult to start a cold engine and is one of the reasons for unstable work.
When running more than 100 thousand km, it will be useless to replace the fuel filter in the tank.
On 2 liter engines until 2004, another problem was evoked, caused by the early destruction of the working cells of the catalyst. Disintegration products delayed in working cylinders, and they, acting as abrasive, left loops on the walls of cylinders. This led to a decrease in compression and an increase in oil consumption.
Laying the head of the cylinder block on 2 liter units is often surrendered after 160 - 180 thousand km. This will be prompted by the falling level of antifreeze and bubbles in the expansion tank.
Problems with the launch of a cold engine and interruptions in the operation of 2.5 liters during running of more than 130 - 150 thousand km are most often caused by the refused sensor position of the crankshaft (1.5 - 2 thousand rubles).
Diesel motor (YD22) 2.2 liter working capacity is found in 2 versions: 114 hp until 2004 and 136 hp After 2004. The first has a mechanical TNVD with electronic control, the second is the fuel injection system under high pressure Comon Rail. This engine does not require major repairs, but has weaknesses.
The first problems with diesel arise, as a rule, after 140 - 160 thousand km. Often it is the need to replace nozzles (original 16 thousand rubles) or fuel pressure sensor. Fuel pressure valve in TNVD One of the main perpetrators of the unstable operation of a diesel engine, less often the reason in the mass flow sensors or the position of the crankshaft.
After 180 - 200 thousand km most likely have to replace the stretched chain and its tensioner. The turbine is quite a surcharge and with proper operation goes not less than 220-250 thousand km.
After 100,000 km, a lot of problems delivers the diesel DPF filter in the exhaust gas system. Unexpected smoking, loss of thrust and the impossibility of increasing engine speeds above 2000 indicates the inclusion of the regeneration mode. The replacement for a new filter will require costs up to 80 thousand rubles. Cheaper, but the radical method is a complete or partial removal of the filter, followed by flashing the computer.
Radiators flow infrequently, but it happens when running more than 140 - 160 thousand km (4-5 thousand rubles).
Transmission
Manual gearbox is very reliable. There is no problems with it. The clutch lives to 140 - 180 thousand km, in harsh conditions its service life will be limited to the mileage of 80 - 100 thousand km. To replace it, you will have to give 8-12 thousand rubles for a new set and 6-8 thousand rubles for work. The approaching end of the clutch is almost impossible to propagate - it works until the latter and then immediately dies.
Automatic transmission although it is considered reliable, but not devoid of problems. Not very expensive - when running more than 180 - 200 thousand km - burning contacts or refusal of a power relay feed on an electromagnet, relieving the blocking of the gear selection selector. After 200 thousand km, there were cases of breakdowns of the planetary gearbox and breaking the slots. One of the possible causes is the failure of the oil pressure sensor in the box and as a result of incorrect control signals. Recommendations for preventing such incidents - replacement of this sensor every 80 thousand km. Repair of the already brazed box will be released at 30 - 40 thousand rubles.
The dispensing box often begins to leak 150-170 thousand km.
Chassis
It is worth paying attention to the suspension. The stabilizer bushings are kept 40-60 thousand km, about the same amount and stabilizer racks. When running more than 150 - 180 thousand km, the turn of the depreciation racks, silent blocks of levers and wheel bearings will be suitable.
Steering tips walk 60 - 80 thousand km.
The front brake discs live up to 100 - 120 thousand km (2 - 3 thousand rubles), the front brake pads - up to 50 - 60 thousand km, and the rear pads - up to 80 - 90 thousand km.
Body and Salon
The front wings of Nissan X-Trail T30 are made of plastic. The undoubted plus is the ease of construction and the impossibility of corrosion. Their disadvantage is a high price. As always cut out the compassionate Chinese with their cheaper counterparts. Weak place on the body of the Japanese Parketnik - the trunk door. Corrosion foci occur along the edge of chrome-plated lining over the number sign. It is treated with a sizing under the overlay 2-sided scotch.
Noise insulation of the cabin is weak. Often it rattles the back seat, and corrupt the panels. Many have a backlash driver's chairs. Often the rear seats refuse to develop due to the flipping pin of the lock inside the back.
When running more than 60 - 80 thousand km, it is often necessary to repair the fan of the salon heater fan. When the stove is turned on, noise appears. The reason in the short-lived bearings of sliding, which would be appropriate to establish conventional rolling bearings. The official dealer is ready to replace the heater assembly for 5-6 thousand rubles, plus 10 thousand rubles the heater itself. Independent disassembly of the stove and replacement of the bearing will be cheaper at times.
Over time, due to the subflinking of the electromotor bearing, the control resistor can be blocked, and the stove will stop responding to a change in the position of the regulator. Simple replacement of the resistor in this case can not do, as it will be repeated soon. The output is only one - the replacement of the heater motor bearing. The engine is withstanding 3-4 successful repairs, then you will have to replace the heater assembly.
The electrician is sometimes manifested. One of these moments is spontaneous unlocking doors and inclusion of the accident. This occurs only when the ignition is turned on, and the failure occurs in the radio control unit. It is treated - by adding an additional relay.
Sometimes when playing a CD, one of the sound channels is turned off - the reason for the loss of contact on the loop.
The pulley of the generator can jam after 140 - 160 thousand km.
Conclusion
Fuel consumption for a 2-liter motor with manual transmission will be about 13-14 liters in the city and 15-17 liters with a machine gun, 9-10 liters will be required on the highway. Motor 2.5 liters with manual transmission in the city will ask for 13-16 liters, and with an automatic 14-17 liters, the expense will be 10-11 liters on the track. Diesel is a bit more economical - 10 - 13 liters in the city and 7-9 liters on the highway.
OPTICAL ILLUSION
The formidable appearance of deceptive - they sometimes remember this too late, when a hanging neutralizer or rear suspension levers will tear off the road. The latter are often affected and because of the hack of masters of the "gathering-collapse", which are not driving themselves by checking the state of silent blocks. If the connection is obsessed, which often happens to 40-60 thousand km, rubber, additionally twisted with such an adjustment, works at the exhaust corners and quickly rushes. Tip: If we do not plan to adjust the corners of the wheels, we mark the position of the fastener relative to the subframe, turn and abundantly lubricate, for example, "Movil". We collect, of course, by tags. The angles will remain unchanged, but about the internal silent blocks now up to 120-130 thousand km can be forgotten. External although they serve longer, they will also have to change - the levers are sold only in the collection. By 80-100 thousand km of the broken sleeves will remind themselves about themselves the stabilizer who has reworked - shock absorbers, and the hum of the two-row ball bearings of the hubs. The latter, however, can silence before. Change bearings separately. They cost a lot - 3,800 rubles. Therefore, sin save on storbly stop rings.
Front suspension more survivor. Up to 150 thousand km will have to change except a penny stabilizer bushings. Racks (bones), silent blocks, ball and steering tips are easily closed up to 160-180, and sometimes up to 200 thousand, of course, if they do not finish them. It is surprising that aluminum levers are not afraid of salt - not as an example of some European.
Armor strongst
Not bad has established itself and the body: not creak, not rust. The front wings are completely plastic - they are all nicking, except ... Strong frosts. It happened, they burst out almost spontaneously, but it rarely happens. The paint is kept by a young man, but chrome with door handles, radiator grille and molding over the rear room seals often. It's a shame that alternatives - painted parts or simply "in plastics" "Nissan" does not offer. With a sucking view you have to put up.
Mim and with security potential - according to the results of Euroncap, the model earned only 9 points per front blow. Made a significant shift of pedals and high load on breasts from strap straps. However, taking into account well-suffered lateral crash test and additional two points for the signaling device of the unused belts in the end four stars came out. For those years not bad.
On the car of the first parties there were problems with the hatch, which sometimes began to open and close. The drive was changed under warranty, so the old structure is unlikely to meet. Sound signals are discarded regardless of year of release, but they are not so expensive, and it is not a problem yourself. But the input of the heater, especially in the cold, treat much more difficult - you need to disassemble the half. If you to endure a screech already in short, do not shiver on a new motor - expensive, better lubricate the rotor sleeve in the old one. According to the experience: after such prevention, the node subsides sometimes forever.
System of salvo fire
By machines until 2004 there were problems with a neutralizer (the so-called catcollectser) caused by the non-optimal engine of the engine control unit. In some transitional modes, the mixture is overly enriched, why the neutralizer was not able to showheart surplus, overheated and destroyed. Since it is located close to the engine (in order to quickly warm), then the particles of ceramics flew into cylinders, leading to the wear of the cylinder-group group and, as a result, an increased oil appetite.
Front suspension, rear view. In addition to the bushings of the stabilizer (circle), it is unlikely to require investments up to 150 thousand km. The brake pads serve 30-40 thousand km (AKP-MCP), wheels - twice the longer.Front suspension, rear view. In addition to the bushings of the stabilizer (circle), it is unlikely to require investments up to 150 thousand km. The brake pads serve 30-40 thousand km (AKP-MCP), wheels - twice the longer.
The antidote was soon found - the control blocks reflated in mass order. Since 2004, the neutralizer itself has been changed, distinguishing the cells from the "Spider" and making the cells larger, - if the grains and breaks away, it is likely to fly into the pipe, and not in the motor. Such cars, of course, preferably. However, to this day there are a lot of old neutralizers - if the intervention in electronics turned out to be timely, there were no fatal consequences. The craftsmen decided the problem simply - removed honeycombs, but such a number was only on the car for our market. European and American management system "sharpened" under more stringent environmental norms; There is a second oxygen sensor simply so do not cheat.
Jim, tanker!
Motors 2.0 l (QR20) on machines with a machine gun were often started to told when the gas discharge due to abundant nagar on the exhaust valves. The drivers themselves are to blame for this (more often) - it's very carefully driven, and the automatic with a calm ride moves the transmission on too small revolutions, and the Nagar simply does not fade. It is worth "ignite" - the problem goes, but in the running cases it does not save even the flushing of the nozzles directly on the engine - at the same time the resins are partially washed away from the valves. The benefit of cases of scarer and the saddles were not, and the repair was limited to mechanical cleaning of a car and tick. After it, do not forget to adjust the valve gaps, picking up the height of the pushers.
If the idle turns began to swim, we wash the throttle assembly and be sure to calibrate - "familiarize" the control unit with new limit positions of the damper, for which a dealersk can be needed. If the engine "eats" oil, for example, due to the above-mentioned neutralizer, then the flushing will be required almost every way - an extra argument to give the motor into the bulkhead.
On heavy fuel
Diesel versions did not use special demand. In the secondary market, they are about 15% - mainly from Europe. When buying this option, do not skimp on the diagnosis. In addition to the body (not a secret, there are often broken), check the characteristic diesel sores, first of all the pressure pressure sensor and the bypass valve - both that pleases, relatively inexpensive. On Russian cars to them add a radiator of the cooling air cooling.
The rear suspension levers is more likely or bend in a rut of the owners themselves, or tear their silent blocks (circle) in the workshops "Gathering-collapse". The brake pads go to 40-50 thousand km, discs - up to 80-100.The rear suspension levers is more likely or bend in a rut of the owners themselves, or tear their silent blocks (circle) in the workshops "Gathering-collapse". The brake pads go to 40-50 thousand km, discs - up to 80-100.
Other problems are difficult to systematize - the sample is small, but there are cases of turbine and fuel equipment failure. The latter fails also led to the destruction of the pistons, which is why the motor has changed under warranty - an indirect sign of the innocence of the owner.
At the head of the corner
The angular gearbox that docks up to the box and takes the moment to the rear wheels, often annoys the flow of oil. In the aggregate five glands, and the most expensive costs 780 rubles. Work on the bulkhead of the nonsense, therefore, if it flows slightly, just pour oil (carter separate from KP). Change the glands is better than a set.
There are no special complaints to the boxes themselves: that the mechanics that the machine is quite reliable, of course, if you change the oil in time. The clutch usually runs 120 thousand km, but with frequent outlines "on nature" may require replacement before. In the launched case, it comes to replacing the flywheel, which is very expensive - almost 53,000 rubles.! It does not really like elevated loads and the coupling of the rear axle: it is worth it to slowly overheat.
The conclusion is obvious: first, T-30 is not suitable for the role of a "heavy tank", it is only a light weapon for the struggle, for example, with a naught settlement. Secondly, before buying a used copy, we certainly check the components of the nodes and aggregates described above, because the repair or replacement of some can ruin the future "tanker".
We thank Genser-Nissan on Lobachevsky for help in preparing the material.
History of the model
2001 Debut "Nissan X-Trail" in Europe. Body: 5-door wagon. Engines: gasoline QR20 P4, 2.0 l, 103 kW / 140 hp; QR25 P4, 2.5 l, 121 kW / 165 hp; Diesel YD22 with the injection system "Common Rail" and turbocharging P4, 2.2 l, 84 kW / 114 hp The drive is full with an automatic or manual connection of the rear bridge by an electromagnetic clutch, M5 or A4 (for diesel engine M6).
2002 KRASH-TEST EURONCAP: 9 points for the frontal blow, 15 - behind the side, plus 2 points for the signaling device of the non-abutable belts. The result is four stars. New engines: gasoline SR20ET with turbocharged and VVL system Changes to phases of gas distribution and lifting valves P4, 2.0 l, 206 kW / 2,280 hp; Diesel YD22D with the injection system "Common Rail" and turbocharging P4, 2.2 liters, 100 kW / 136 hp
2003 Easy Facelifting. Changed: bumpers, central instrument panel console, upholstery materials. The control unit and the neutralizer changed on gasoline units. Instead of conventional Ignition Clamps, the LFR5A-11 began to install platinum PLFR5A.
2007 was represented by the "second generation" X-trail (model T31 code).
The first-generation Nissan X-Trail crossover was represented by the Japanese company in 2001, and it was based on the Nissan FF-S platform (in which Primera and Almera were created before that).
The production of the car was carried out until 2007, when the model of the second generation was replaced.
The "first" Nissan X-Trail is a compact crossover with a five-seater layout of the cabin. The length of the car was 4510 mm, the width is 1765 mm, the height is 2625 mm, the wheelbase is 2625 mm, and its ground clearance was equal to 200 mm.
In the oven "First X-Trail" weighed from 1390 to 1490 kg, depending on the configuration, engine, gearbox and transmission.
For the first generation X-Trail, two gasoline engines of 2.0 and 2.5 liters, issuing 140 and 165 horsepower, respectively, were offered. There was a 2.2-liter turbodiesel, the return of which was 136 "horses". Motors worked in a tandem with a 5- or 6-speed "mechanics" and a 4-range "machine", with front or full drive.
Front and rear on X-trail T30, an independent spring suspension was established. On the front wheels, disk ventilated brake mechanisms are applied, on the rear disk. Steering was complemented by an amplifier.
The first-generation Nissan X-Trail crossover is well-known to Russian motorists, as it used in our country with good demand. From the merits of the machine, you can note an attractive and brutal appearance, overall reliability, good off-road qualities for a parquet, a spacious interior, confident behavior on the road, comfortable suspension, good dynamics and manageability, maintainability and relatively available parts.
The disadvantages of the crossover include the average quality of the paintwork, the presence of unnecessary noise at high speeds, not too fast operation of the automatic gearbox and uncomfortable seats.

Nissan X-Trail T30 Owners Reviews
Nissan X-Trail T30, 2002
They took Nissan X-Trail T30 with a mileage of 115 thousand kilometers, but the former owner was a "pilot," and the car got it impeccable in technical terms. For six months, 10 thousand kilometers were wounded along the most different roads. Feelings for the most part positive. The car more than perfectly holds the road: on ice or in the shower ride is the same predictable and confident, like a dry road. Feeling full of security, as in the BTR. There was no breakdown. Is that changed the "signaling". The automatic transmission is somewhat thoughtful, however, when you start on the traffic light, it is optimal to start moving a second after a transmission change with neutral, in which case everything is fine. The power is sufficient, although the Nissan X-Trail T30 climbs is climbing. On sudden lines, slows down. The motor is not noisy and does not differ in appetites: consumes 12 l in the urban cycle and 10 liters on the highway. Easily approaching the oil - about 100 grams per thousand kilometers. Interior design Nissan X-Trail T30 is quite good: trim light skin, comfortable seats, unusual and convenient location of the instrument panel in the center. True, there are also cons: there are no armrests, even if there is a place to install them.
Dignity : Reliability, fuel consumption, review, head lighting.
disadvantages : Full audio system.

Nissan X-Trail T30, 2003
The car is assembled in the late spring in 2003. Acquired in the dealership of the dealership in 2003 in the fall. Production - Japan. 2.0-liter atmospheric motor, four-stage automatic gearbox, three modes of connection and Option "Overdrive". With a mileage of 147 thousand kilometers with an active ride in the most different roads, almost no interruptions in the technical part was not. For 140 thousand kilometers, the mileage was replaced by anthers on shock absorbers, rear hub bearings, front brake discs with pads, generator belt. Excellent quality assembly Nissan X-Trail T30 from Japan cannot but rejoice, parts are also good, especially plastic and gasket.
The Nissan X-Trail T30 is conveniently and many places, five adults and luggage for a long journey are calmly placed. Excellent organized luggage compartment with convenient transformation capabilities - if you fold both rear chairs, then you can put skis. In particular, I like the huge hatch on the roof. The actual fuel consumption: on the highway - from 8 to 9 liters per hundred, in the city - from 12 to 13 liters per 100 kilometers, in a mixed cycle - from 9.5 to 11 liters to "hundred". The Nissan X-Trail T30 is managed easily and clearly, the steering wheel is informative, the GUR does not limit the possibilities for dynamic driving. In steep turns, you can go well thanks to the ECP system. In short, there are more than enough positive qualities.
Dignity : Like almost everything.
disadvantages : Soundproofing salon.

Nissan X-Trail T30, 2004
I own Nissan X-Trail T30 2004. Panoramic hatch - this is certain thing. When the salutes were allowed, the brother 100 kg weighing and with the corresponding dimensions slept without any problems and watched. Cool location of the adjustments of the musical system and cruise on the steering wheel. Cruise control on the highway is often very by the way, there is an opportunity to relax the lower limbs, besides, the gas can be adjusted in manual mode. Often I ride in the mountains and a 2.5-liter engine perfectly copes with the image of a very urchine machine. Not so long ago rode on the new version of "RAV-A", which pleased - the interior, but there is nothing special in it, unlike the Nissan X-Trail T30, as for me, not too, it is good. The car in any situation is useful, on any road. A huge number of boxes are excellent opportunities to change the luggage compartment and easy to clean. There is no problem over 22,000 kilometers. By winter, promotional tires with cast discs acquired, albeit without spikes, but perfectly show themselves on domestic, they will express it, not easy, tracks.
Dignity : body design, power, dynamics, reliability.
disadvantages : Hard plastic in the cabin.
Pavel, Novosibirsk
Onurbally, Nissan X-TRAIL can be a front-wheel drive, but unlike the "relative" in the face of Nissan Qashqai, the monotrifable cars are very small. A four-wheel drive from the electromagnetic clutch for Japanese and Asian machines has become already familiar with the rear axle drive is made as simple as possible and quite efficiently. To overcome small obstacles, it is enough, although long-lasting slippers and the movement of the dash in heavy soil it does not tolerate. After running 50-70 thousand kilometers, the coupling usually requires washing and bulkhead, otherwise it is possible to damage the electromagnet to the end of the same mileage, and possibly bearings due to corrosion, and it will cost at least 50 thousand rubles for a new coupling and bearings, Yes, and the work is not at all a penny.
The coupling along with the main transfer is to open and clean immediately after overcoming deep brodes: Sapun often skips water. However, in this case, the wheel bearings will most likely not live for a long time, and the body is better once again to handle the anticorrosive and wash away from the bottom. Yes, for such tests it is not intended.
According to the mechanical part of complaints to the transmission minimum. But something will still have to do.
On running machines you need to carefully check the anthers of the shruses. And after one and a half hundred thousand mileage it is preventively updating the lubricant in the hinges, without waiting for the beginning of their overheating and appearance of noise.
A cardan shaft after the same one and a half or two hundred thousand mileage will require the replacement of the intermediate support, and in the case of severe operating conditions - both crossmen, the benefits of non-original parts are inexpensive.
The dispensing box, which is really just an angular gearbox, is well held. If you change the oil and do not overload, there are no special problems with it. With a gasoline 280-strong turbo engine, it can be "minimized", and in all other cases, damage to the shafts and bearings are associated with untimely service, leaks and water in the mechanism or with the unbalance of the cardan shaft. By the way, the gearboxes from the machines before and after restyling are conditionally compatible: the housings are minimal, but when replacing it may be needed to work the grinder.
The mechanism for selecting transmission mechanical gearboxes with age is much losing in selectivity due to the stretching of the cables and the breaking of the ball hinge of the lever. Yes, and the two-mask flywheel is characterized by a weakly predicted resource. It is good that if you wish, it is possible to change the clutch to the usual damper.
After 200 thousand mileage, it is possible to expect a deterioration in the inclusion of the third and fourth transmission due to aging synchronizers, and the likelihood of the second transmission synchronizer often suffers from noticeably smallest mileage. On this, with careful maintenance and maintenance of the oil level, everything ends, but remember that in the manual transmission, too, it is also necessary to change the oil.
The bulk of the machine is equipped with automatic transmission. There is a Box of the subsidiary of Nissan - Jatco model RE4F04B, which is rightfully considered one of the most successful automatic transmission of its time. True, there are only four steps here, and by the middle of the two thousand years it is already obscured by morally, but it is reliable and provides good dynamics and comfort. I would say that she is eternal, but exploitation in Russia allows you to doubt the reliability of anything.
Most of the drivers in the mileage for 250 thousand kilometers will require replacement of the GDT blocking lining. But there are always chances that the mileage of the dreams or drove a "racer", which forced the box literally "burn at work."
In twitching or slipping on the third-fourth gears, the brake tape is usually to blame. She is growing here in the first place, and is very sensitive to oil pollution: begins to work abruptly.
A set of solenoids can exit before time due to excess contamination or overheating, and the ABAP selector often causes the transition to the emergency mode.
All other repairs are consequences or a very large run, or operation on dirty overheating oil. The box rises finally, only when "dies" half of the frictional, or slices of metal destroyed the planetary transmission or hydraulic lobby. It's good, but only if only you did not buy "slightly twitching" box. It is usually inside the already full "corpse", so almost everything will be changed. However, it is the fate of almost all reliable technology: there is always the one who will purposefully look for what can be "killed" for a long time, and that it will not break from his style of handling appliances immediately.
Frequent oil change, an additional radiator and an external filter are recommended, but not completely mandatory.
Motors
Nissan X-Trail has been equipped with two engines: gasoline engines with a volume of 2.0 and 2.5 liters of QR20DE and QR25DE. The surrounding motors of the SR20VET series (2 liters and 280 forces) and a diesel engine of 2.2 liters of the YD22DTI series are found quite rarely. We have such motors - exotic. I can only say that the Nissan turbo engines of this generation are considered very successful, but diesel motors of their own development - capricious on the part of the fuel equipment and very leisurely even in the DCI version, although quite strong.
The total difficulties of Nissan motors on X-TRAIL are rather weak radiators, unstable pressure in the cooling system due to unsuccessful cork, often the current tubes of the system, several capricious ignition coils and inlet system with weak corrugations prone to depressurization.
Radiator
price for the original
11 707 rubles
Of the most dangerous for the motor and the car of trouble, I will call the loss of the tightness of the benzing plant under the hood at the place of the quick-consumption connection: the ring of seal "Dubets", and gradually appear leaks. The second is weak and corrosive spring clamps on almost all elements of the cooling system, which over time can tritely fall apart. In the age-related vehicles operated in the northern regions, after 5-6 years, the engine pillows strongly suffer.
Almost all the problems of aging begin to manifest after 150 thousand runs. On this mileage, the chances of the occurrence of overheating and simply failures of the control system increase. All this does not most effect on the state of motors, especially when operating in our northern regions. Winter starts at a temperature of -30-35 degrees are fully accessible to these motor, but the chances of ruining the motor sharply increase, which is reflected in the failure statistics.
Atmospheric gasoline 2.0 and 2.5-liter engines are close parents, although the degree of their unification should not be overestimated. They differ in the cylinder block, the location of a number of nodes, inlet, camshafts and auxiliary systems.
The resource of a more volumetric engine is less than a two-liter. It affects a big tendency to overheating and a higher load on the piston and crankshaft. But in any case, it all depends on the style of exploitation. When replacing the oil at least once every 10 thousand, if the motor is not raped by cold launches all winter, and in the summer they do not overheat in endless traffic jams and trips in the sands, the two-liter motor will start to eat with a melice when running 250-280 thousand kilometers, and appetite will grow steadily Due to the wear of the piston group. If you do not miss the oil level, and the catalyst is replaced by European metallic or removed at all, the motor will almost certainly stretch up to 350-400 thousand runs, which is for such a simple and cheap construction - an undoubted success rate.
In the photo: under the hood of Nissan X-Trail FCV (T30) "2003-07 The engine volume of 2.5 liters acquires oil appetite a little earlier. Cases of its occurrence during runs substantially less than 200 thousand mainly appear for the following reasons: or mileage twisted, or did not change the catalyst in the sensory campaign on time, or the motor was overheated. Because it seems to be a reliable motor, but it has enough nuances.

First, the catalyst. The design with a catcolektor and a ceramic catalyst on Nissan machines was not very resource, and after hundreds of thousands of run, especially with winter launches, the catalyst started to "dust." And part of the dust was delayed back into the cylinders, contributing to the sharp increase in the wear of the piston rings and the top of the cylinder and increasing the chances of formation of scaling. The problem was noticed, and since 2003-2004, all machines received a catalyst on a metal substrate, which is noticeably more resistant to overheating and almost no dust during destruction. The measure turned out to be effective, so restyling motors without a boaronta with large runs are found much more often dorestayling.
At the same time, they refused from a strange solution in the cooling system, which contributed to the early rings to the rings. In addition to the standard thermostat, which at the opening temperature of 82 degrees and the full opening at 96 supports very gentle temperature of the engine, another one is still installed, which provides accelerated overwhelming of the cylinder block to 95 degrees. The idea is pretty simple: until full warm-up, the circulation of fluid in the block is practically absent, and only after 95 degrees antifreeze goes through the unit in full. It helps to quickly go to the optimal temperature of the motor to perform environmental norms, but such technology has its own unpleasant features. First, most of the time the work occurs a large temperature gradient between the GBC and the cylinder block, which increases the load on the gas joint and leads to its depressurization. From here - regularly "blowing" gasket of the GBC on cars to restyling. Secondly, an increase in the temperature of the block to hundreds of degrees increases the temperature of the piston rings and the piston itself, which is expressed in the tendency to the cracker. Well, the latter: the circulation of the fluid when the second thermostat is closed, and the machines warm the stove in the cabin until the overest is warm.
In the photo: Nissan X-Trail (T30) "2001-04 Cylinder and Cylinder blocks before and after restyling have differences in the design of the cooling shirt. On the dorestayling motor, you can simply remove the second thermostat without any obvious negative consequences. But to put the thermostat to a new CCC will not work. But you can put an old GBC to a new block - in this embodiment, the installation of an additional thermostat is simply harmful.
But when runs above 250-280 thousand, the engine eats the maslice not only due to the cooling system and catalyst. Despite the low opening temperature of the main thermostat, the GBC temperature in many modes still remains quite high. And the oil slimming caps after 5-6 years of operation are already beginning to leak. Leather oils from above contributes to the occurrence of compression rings, which increases the risk of oil-lining and increases the flow of crankcase gases through the ventilation system. And this speeds up the processing processes.
The design of the piston is also not flawless: the rings are thinned, the carnia is designed for low-viscosity oils, and the motor does not like operation with constant under-hegeneration. In the presence of a serious oil appetite, the inaccurate owners almost always bring the case before the inserts of the liners and the murdered oil pump. The oil level sensor is too low, and the motor canter has a weak anti-standard system, so in steep left corners under the reduced level the pump is enough for air.
Structural motor is not complicated. Its block is made of aluminum, the sleeves are cast-iron, the timing of the timing chain, the phase instener is only one.

At 170-200 thousand chains, the timing chain usually need to be changed, and with the stars. With good oil, the resource is greater. There are cases when there are more than 250 thousand chains, but it is rare.
When running about 80-120 thousand kilometers, there will have to adjust the valves, and then each 50-60 thousand kilometers the procedure will need to be repeated.
Motor does not like old candles and dirty fuel. Everything is clear with old candles, no one loves them. And fuel is often very dirty due to the features of the fuel tank. The fuel system requires periodic flushing, and nozzles - even replacement.
It is worth noting that prices for even the original parts are low, and a typical overhaul costs almost cheaper than on domestic motors.
SR20VET - the motor is the legendary, this is the most powerful serial version of the motor on the SR20 block. An option with a Garrett T28 turbine with a capacity of 280 forces is quite good by the standards of highly affiliated motor reliability. There is also an aluminum block and cast iron sleeves, the camshaft drive is also carried out with a chain, but there are hydrocomathers. And he has no problems in the cooling system. And the masligor for it on the stock piston is a rarity, usually this motor is dying for another reason.

The main engine problems are associated either with fuel equipment, or with cracks of the exhaust manifold, EGR system, dirty intake or slaughtered nozzles.
There is a system of Common Rail one of the first generations, and it is quite a capricious. Dirt in the fuel tank for diesel is even a great threat than for a gasoline motor, so the filters need to be changed often, and for the purity of the tank it is carefully monitored.

Strongly running motors can have serious corrosion of CHC with cracks between valve beds and gase leaks in the cooling shirt. We strongly recommend when buying to explore the motor endoscope. True, the glow candles here sometimes make it harder so that they cannot be removed.
By car after restyling you can find a smblter filter. From him, do not wait for it, it is not very well compatible with this motor.
In general, the diesel is not bad at all, but due to the small prevalence and the capriciousness of the fuel equipment to purchase is extremely not recommended.
Summary
Nissan has been late with the launch of the crossover, but taking into account the errors of competitors and tried to do everything "as it should". In many ways, it is why the car with a far from the ideal technical side managed to become quite popular in Russia.
In the photo: Nissan X-Trail (T30) "2004-07 The balance between the "jeep content" and "minivanity" was chosen very precisely, besides the car is really inexpensive in operation and repair. Of course, slowly, but surely buys the body, and the motors of early editions are prone to the appearance of oil appetite with small runs, but car owners are usually satisfied with them. At least, until they persoinize something more reliable or more comfortable.
I can only recommend to carefully check the body when you buy and try to buy a car after restyling or with an already a chipped motor, without a problem ceramic catalyst and without a free thermostat. Automatic boxes and full drive can not be afraid. If, of course, they work, and you are ready for the fact that they will have to be served.
Would you get the first generation Nissan X-Trail?
