At the end of 1995, the second Nissan generation Primera, in Europe new model appeared in 1996. The engine range remained the same and three body styles were still offered. In the Japanese market, only sedans were sold that had a 1.8 and 2 liter engine. The hatchback was equipped with a 2-liter gasoline engine with a four-speed automatic transmission. In Japan, it was also possible to purchase cars with an automatic CVT gearbox and a 6-position tiptronic in the M6 version. the car was exported to the American market under the name Infiniti G20.

In 2004, the model underwent a restyling of the interior - the handles and instruments on the dashboard were updated and a new color scheme for the interior appeared - "coffee with milk".
The "Examples" had sedan and hatchback versions. In addition, a Japanese-made station wagon was sold in Europe, but it was an analogue of the model and differed from the sedan with a hatchback in design. Cars for the European market were equipped with 1.6 (90 hp) and 2.0 (115 or 150 hp) gasoline engines, as well as two-liter diesel engines. Gearboxes - five-speed manual or four-speed automatic.
Nissan Primera for the Japanese market was equipped with 1.8 and 2.0 liter gasoline engines, and there was also a version with all-wheel drive transmission in the local market.

2nd generation (P11), 1995–2002
The second generation "Examples" entered the Japanese market in 1995, in Europe the model appeared in 1996. The car, as before, was produced at factories in the UK and Japan, in the model range there were versions with sedan, hatchback and station wagon bodies, and in the American market the car was sold under a luxury brand.
The second generation Nissan Primera was built on a completely new platform, cars for the European market were equipped with gasoline engines 1.6 and 2.0, as well as a two-liter turbodiesel. The Japanese version was equipped with engines of 1.8 and 2.0 liters, the most powerful of which developed 190 hp. With.
Gearboxes are five-speed manual or four-speed automatic, and in Japan, an all-wheel drive version was still available.
In 1999, the model was restyled, as a result of which the Nissan Primera received an updated design and modernized power units. A 1.8-liter engine appeared in Europe, and a variator began to be offered for two-liter cars (the variator became available in the Japanese market back in 1997).
Sales of the second generation model continued in Japan until 2000 and in the European market until 2002.

3rd generation (P12), 2001–2007
The third generation Nissan Primera debuted in Japan in 2001, and in 2002 the model appeared in Europe. The car received a completely new original body and interior design with instruments in the center of the front panel, the range of bodies remained the same - sedan, hatchback (not sold in the Japanese market) and station wagon.
Gasoline engines 1.6 (109 hp), 1.8 (116 hp) and 2.0 (140 hp), as well as turbodiesels with a volume of 1.9 and 2.2 liters (116–139 forces). Depending on the modification, buyers were offered cars with "mechanics", a four-speed "automatic" or a variator. In Russia, the model was officially offered with gasoline engines, and a small batch of cars with 2.2-liter diesel engines was also delivered to the country.
"Examples" for the Japanese market were equipped with the same 1.8 and 2.0-liter gasoline engines (125–204 hp), as well as a new 2.5- liter engine With direct injection with a capacity of 170 liters. With. Local buyers have traditionally had the opportunity to purchase cars with all-wheel drive.
In Japan, sales of the model ended in 2005, it was replaced by a second-generation sedan, and in the European market, the Nissan Primera lasted until 2007, but due to low demand, the car did not have a successor.

The Nissan Primera P12 is a third-generation D-class model with front-wheel drive and a front-engine layout. The Primera P12 replaced the Infiniti G20 on the assembly line. Produced since 2001 in the city of Sutherland in England with three body types: hatchback, sedan and station wagon. In 2007 the demand for this model fell and Primera was discontinued. Since 2007, the Primera's successor has been the Nissan Bluebird Sylphy.
The idea of the chief designer Stefan Schwarz was to move away from the accepted stereotypes and start developing the design of the car from its interior, and then deal with the exterior
The history of the appearance of the model
The new generation of the Nissan Primera has become the most revolutionary innovation in the history of the company. The main task in the development of the third generation of Primera was to create its own unique style. Work on the model began in 1997. The project was led by Stefan Schwartz, chief designer of Nissan Design Europe, who believed that when creating a new image of the car, it is necessary to move away from the accepted stereotypes and start developing the design of the car from its interior, and then deal with the exterior.
In 2000, a concept was shown in Paris, and in 2001, a serial model was officially presented in Frankfurt. The design turned out to be very bold for a production car, especially if you remember the modest faceless look.
In 2004, the model was restyled. The interior has been significantly changed, new, better finishing materials have been used, ergonomics and comfort have been improved.
Technical features
The body of the Primera had a galvanized coating, thanks to which it was practically not subject to corrosion. For its manufacture, a special technology was developed that allows, during the body assembly process, to bend the wing flanges, previously spot-welded to the wing plane.
There were also innovations in the engines. The main goal of Japanese engineers was to improve the power characteristics of the engine while maintaining the working volume. The gas distribution mechanism and exhaust system have undergone modernization. Cast iron gave way to aluminum, and the cylinder head received a mechanism for changing the valve timing. This made it possible to obtain more than 100 Horse power developed power.
Changes have been made to brake system. Thanks to the new eighth ABS series from Bosch, which was lighter and more compact than its predecessors, and worked more efficiently, especially in combination with Nissan system Brake assist. Now the most effective braking was possible even with a slight pressure on the brake pedal. The car also received brake discs enlarged diameter and a single-stage brake booster.
Nissan engineers did not ignore passive safety, especially in the field of protecting the driver and passengers from side and frontal impacts. In addition, special curtains were installed on the Primera, which protect the heads of the front and rear passengers, and the head restraints protected from trauma to the cervical vertebrae, which now extended when the load was applied and returned to their previous position when removed. To minimize the consequences of leg injury, the pedal assembly received a special mechanism that, when the front body panels retracts the brake pedal closer to the floor, away from the driver's feet.
To protect pedestrians, the front bumper was made using a soft filler, and the lower part of the wings, on the contrary, is more rigid, so that only the bumper absorbs kinetic energy during a collision, deforming.
Chassis traditional: front MacPherson strut, rear - the usual semi-dependent beam. The front suspension is attached to the body on a specially insulated subframe, which provides a smooth ride, reduced noise and vibration.
Compared to classmates
Nissan Primera differs from its classmates, first of all, in its futuristic design, both body and interior.
Its highlight is the unusual-looking console and instrument cluster located in the center. The console is very much like a computer keyboard. It was made in such a way that you could put your hand on it, and not hold it on weight. V basic configuration the car is equipped with a monochrome screen with a diagonal of 18 cm, which in more expensive versions can be replaced with a color one. The list of its functions includes displaying the operating modes of the air conditioner, radio, electronic systems and other useful devices, such as a reverse camera.
Cruise control has also changed compared to. The system has become adaptive and works in tandem with a special laser sensor. The presence of such devices can be found on premium cars, and in class D cars they are not even included in the list of additional equipment. Therefore, Primera, being in the same price category with other cars of the D segment, differs favorably from them in terms of configuration.
Awards
In 2002, for the fourth time in 10 years, Nissan received the prestigious Red Dot award for high-end design from the German design center Nordrhein-Westfalen. This annual award was given to the new Nissan Primera in 1993, 1996 and 2002.

Primera P10The car was available in six versions: L, LX, SLX, GS, GSX and GT. The 1.6 liter engine was installed on the L, LX and SLX versions. 2-liter diesel engine with a capacity of 75 liters. With. installed on the SLX version. 2-liter engine, 115 hp. With. was available in LX, GS and GSX versions. 2-liter engine, 125 hp. With. and 140 l. With. had models SLX, GSX. GT had a 2-liter engine with 150 hp. In 1994, it was restyled and received taillights with white turn indicators, a radiator grille with chrome inserts and bumpers with body kits that were only available on the GT modification. Also appeared a new version SRi. The trim name stands for "Super Racing Interior". In fact, she had a sports interior of the GT modification, though not in black, but in white. But the special difference was that it was the only modification that customers made to their order, so it could have any engine and drive, as well as any set of mechanisms in the cabin, including airbags, climate control, telephone, heated seats and much more. Buyers of previous years did not even know about a large number of options, since most of the options were transferred from the Japanese version of the car. In Japan this version bodies were produced only with modifications of the famous SR engine, volumes of 1.8 and 2 liters. Popular in Europe 1.6 and diesel engines have not received mass production. The most popular version was the T4. It was a charged version of 180 and above horsepower, with permanent all-wheel drive. There were two transmissions to choose from - automatic and mechanical. Externally and in the cabin, the T4 repeated the GT version, although it was supplemented with such trifles as a telephone, an air dryer, climate control, a light sensor, a rain sensor, etc. Later, most of these options migrated to the next version of the body - P11. Primera P11The second generation appeared at the end of 1995 in Japan in the fall of 1996 in Europe. As before in Europe, the car was offered with 1.6, 2-liter gasoline engines and a 2-liter diesel engine. As before, the car was produced in three bodies. In Japan, only sedans with 1.8 and 2 liter engines were sold. The liftback was only available with a 2.0-litre petrol engine paired with a 4-speed "automatic" and went on sale in November 1997, followed by a wagon called the Primera Wagon a month earlier. Also offered cars with continuously variable automatic transmissions (v-belt variators) CVT and Hyper CVT-M6. The latter had the opportunity manual control fixed transmission ratios (virtual gears) and was installed in conjunction with a 2-liter SR20VE engine with variable valve timing (Neo VVL) with a power of 190 hp. This combination of a CVT and a powerful 2-liter engine was used for the first time in world practice. In the future, Nissan cars began to be increasingly equipped with CVTs, which at present (2010) have almost completely replaced conventional "automatic machines". As for the first generation model, there were complete sets with all-wheel drive. In the US, the Primera was sold under the name Infiniti G20. It had a different grille and taillights that were borrowed from the Japanese version of the Primera Camino, as well as richer interior equipment, including heated leather seats, heated mirrors, cruise control, crystal headlights and more. In New Zealand, a limited edition of the SMX version of the car was released. It had Eibach springs and a more aggressive body. 24 cars were produced in 4 colors. In 1998, the RML team won the British Touring Championship (BTCC) in a Nissan Primera. And in 1999, the factory team won the constructors' championship. Drivers Laurent Aïello and David Leslie finished 1st and 2nd. To celebrate two victories in the United Kingdom was released special series GTSE of 400 cars. The cars were shod with 16" AZEV alloy wheels, had leather seats, a Momo steering wheel and shift knob. Also in celebration, a GTLE version was released with 16" Enkei alloy wheels, leather interior and Momo gear knob.

An excerpt characterizing the Nissan PrimeraAfter breakfast, I simply could not sit still and followed my mother with a “tail”, waiting for when I would finally see my long-awaited “surprise”. To my great surprise, my mother went with me to the neighbor's house and knocked on the door ... Despite the fact that our neighbor was a very pleasant person, what relation she could have to my birthday remained a mystery to me ...- Ah, our "holiday" girl has come! Opening the door, the neighbor said cheerfully. - Well, let's go, Blizzard is waiting for you. And then my legs literally buckled ... Blizzard (or rather - in Lithuanian, Puga) was an amazingly beautiful neighbor's horse, on which I was very often allowed to ride. And I just adored her! .. Everything was beautiful in this wonderful horse - and appearance, and her sensitive "horse" soul, and calm, reliable character. In my opinion, she was generally the most beautiful and most wonderful horse in the world! .. She was silver-gray (what was also called gray-haired), with a long snow-white tail, all “strewn” with light gray and white apples. When I came, she always greeted me, poking her surprisingly soft nose into my shoulder, as if to say: - Well, I'm so good, take me for a ride !!! She had a very beautiful muzzle, very graceful, with huge, soft, kind eyes that seemed to understand everything. And it would be just a "crime" not to love her... Despite the fact that our yard was very large, and it was always full of all kinds of domestic "living creatures", we could not keep a horse for the simple reason that it was not so easy to buy it. An Arabian stallion was very expensive for us (by then standards), because my dad at that time worked in a newspaper much fewer hours than usual (because, by common agreement of the family, he was busy writing plays for the Russian drama theater), and therefore We didn't have much money at the time. And although it was already the right time for me to really learn horse riding, the only opportunity to do this was to ask to sometimes go for a walk with Blizzard, who for some reason also loved me very much and always went riding with me with pleasure. But recently Blizzard was very sad and did not leave her yard. And, to my great regret, for more than three months I was not allowed to go for walks with her. A little more than three months ago, her owner died suddenly, and since they always lived with Blizzard "soul to soul", it was apparently hard for his wife to see Blizzard with anyone else for some time. So she is poor and spent whole days in her (albeit very large) paddock, immensely yearning for her beloved owner, who suddenly disappeared somewhere unexpectedly. It was to this wonderful friend that they took me on the morning of my tenth birthday ... My heart was literally jumping out of my chest with excitement! .. I just could not believe that now my biggest childhood dream could come true !.. I remember from the time I managed to climb Snowstorm for the first time without outside help, I endlessly begged my mom and dad to buy me a horse, but they always said that now is a bad time for this and that they “will definitely do it, we must just wait a bit." Blizzard met me, as always, very friendly, but in these three months she seemed to have changed in some way. She was very sad, with slow movements, and did not express too much desire to go outside. I asked the hostess why she is so “different”? The neighbor said that poor Blizzard, apparently, longs for the owner and she is very sorry for her. “Try,” she said, “if you can “revive” her, she is yours! I simply could not believe what I heard, and mentally vowed not to miss this chance for anything in the world! Cautiously approaching Blizzard, I affectionately stroked her wet, velvety nose, and began to talk to her quietly. I told her how good she is and how much I love her, how wonderful it will be for us together and how much I will take care of her ... Of course, I was just a child and sincerely believed that everything I say, Blizzard will understand. But even now, after so many years, I still think that somehow this amazing horse really understood me ... Be that as it may, Blizzard gently poked my neck with her warm lips, making it clear that she I was ready to “go for a walk with me” ... I somehow climbed on it, from excitement not getting my foot into the noose, I tried my best to calm my heart rushing outward, and we slowly moved out of the yard, turning our familiar path into the forest where she, like me, loved to visit. From the unexpected "surprise" I was shaking all over, and I could not believe that all this was really happening! I really wanted to pinch myself, and at the same time I was afraid that suddenly, right now, I would wake up from this wonderful dream, and everything would turn out to be just a beautiful holiday fairy tale ... But time passed and nothing changed. Blizzard - my beloved friend - was here with me, and only a little bit was not enough for her to become truly mine! .. My birthday that year fell on a Sunday, and because the weather was just perfect, many neighbors walked down the street that morning, stopping to share the latest news with each other or just to breathe in the "fresh-smelling" winter air. I was a little worried, knowing that I would immediately become an object of public review, but, despite the excitement, I really wanted to look confident and proud on my beloved beauty Purga ... quietly touched her side with her foot, and we drove out the gate ... Mom, dad, grandmother and neighbor stood in the yard and waved after us, as if for them, just like for me, this was also some incredibly important event ... It was kindly funny and funny and somehow immediately helped me to relax, and we calmly and confidently drove on. The neighbor's children also poured out into the yard and waved their hands, shouting greetings. In general, it turned out to be a real “holiday mess”, which amused even the neighbors walking along the same street ... Soon the forest appeared, and we, turning onto the path already well known to us, disappeared from sight ... And then I gave vent to my emotions screaming with joy! .. I squeaked like an indescribably delighted puppy, kissed Blizzard in a silky nose (the amount of which she could not understand in any way ...), loudly sang some awkward songs, in general - rejoiced as soon as my happy childish soul allowed me ... - Well, please, my dear, show them that you are happy again ... Well, please! And we will ride together again! As much as you want, I promise you! .. Just let them all see that you are all right ... - I begged Blizzard. I felt wonderful with her, and I really hoped that she, too, would feel at least a part of what I felt. The weather was absolutely amazing. The air literally crackled, it was so clean and cold. The white forest cover shone and sparkled with millions of small stars, as if someone's large hand generously scattered fabulous diamonds over it. The blizzard ran briskly along the path trodden by skiers, and seemed completely satisfied, to my great joy starting to come to life very quickly. I was literally “flying” in my soul with happiness, already looking forward to that joyful moment when they would tell me that she was finally truly mine ... After some half an hour, we turned back so as not to make my whole family worry, which, even without this, was constantly worried about me. The neighbor was still in the yard, apparently wanting to make sure with her own eyes that everything was all right with both of us. Immediately, of course, grandmother and mother ran out into the yard, and father was the last to appear, carrying some kind of thick colored lace in his hands, which he immediately handed over to a neighbor. I easily jumped to the ground and, running up to my dad, with a heart pounding with excitement, buried my face in his chest, wanting and fearing to hear such important words for me ... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
nissan primera third and latest generation(code P12) was introduced in 2001, and production of the mid-size car began in June 2002. Assembly Examples was carried out in Japan and the UK (for the Russian and European markets). Primera was offered as a four-door sedan, five-door hatchback and universal. In 2004, Primera underwent a restyling that affected the interior and a number of technical solutions. In 2007, the car was discontinued.
Engines
The engine range included four gasoline engines displacement 1.6L (QG16DE) 109 HP, 1.8L (QG18DE) 116 HP, 2.0 (QR20DE) 140 HP and 2.5 L (QR25DD) 170 hp It was also installed diesel unit with direct injection with a working volume of 2.2 liters (YD22ET) with a capacity of 126 hp. In 2003, the diesel was replaced by two others with Common system Rail: 1.9L (F9Q) 120 HP and 2.2 L (YD22DDTI) 139 hp In 2006, with the introduction of new Euro-4 environmental standards in Europe, diesel engines were discontinued, as 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 thousand km do not cause problems, but after that an “oil burner” often appears, and the timing chain is pulled out. You will have to pay about 10-12 thousand rubles for replacing the chain. Increased consumption oil is caused by loss of elasticity valve stem seals and the occurrence of oil scraper rings. Set piston rings will cost 1-2 thousand rubles, and their replacement will cost 20-25 thousand rubles.
2-liter engines after a long stay in fierce winter frosts often start with great difficulty. Problem areas rare QR25: fuel injectors, loosening damper screws intake manifolds and cylinder head gasket.
With a run of more than 150-200 thousand km, there are also cases of starter failure (repair is about 2-3 thousand rubles), fuel pump(1-5 thousand rubles for an analogue and 7-10 thousand rubles for the original).
Interruptions in the operation of the engine are often caused by the failure of the camshaft or crankshaft position sensor. For a new original sensor, they will ask about 1-2 thousand rubles, for an analogue - about 700-900 rubles. The MAF sensor (DMRV) also becomes the culprit of interruptions. The cost of the original sensor is about 4-6 thousand rubles, the analogue is about 2-3 thousand rubles. The malfunction of these sensors directly affects the operation of the automatic transmission - the "automatic" and the variator.
On the diesel engines 2.2 DCi, there were cases of failure of the engine control unit and the boost pressure sensor.
Transmission
Nissan Primera was equipped with three types of boxes: "mechanics", CVT 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 the "Japanese" Primera with a 2.5-liter gasoline. 4 speed automatic transmission gears could be installed on all other Nissan modifications Primera.
5 manual transmission, paired with a 1.6 liter engine, often failed with a run of more than 80-120 thousand km. Separate boxes reached 150-180 thousand km. The reason is a design miscalculation: the box was intended for a weaker motor. As a result, during the operation, a hum appeared, the gears began to turn on with difficulty, then they simply flew out, and a little later a hole appeared in the box body. The culprit is the output shaft bearing, which collapsed under loads, the output shaft shifted and broke the box body. Price new box about 80-100 thousand rubles, and a complete bulkhead - about 30-50 thousand rubles. Repair of the box is possible if the matter did not end with a breakdown of the case. The 6-speed manual transmission, unlike its younger brother, is almost eternal. Therefore, many Primera owners with a 1.6 liter engine prefer to install an analogue of a 6 manual transmission instead of repairing a 5 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 besides, it saves you from troubles “forever”.
Problems with stepless CVT variator and caring boxes in emergency mode often caused by the failure of the step motor (responsible for "shifting", 4-5 thousand rubles) or one of the 2 speed sensors of the variator (2-3 thousand rubles each). Failures can also cause incorrect readings from the crankshaft position sensors, camshaft or MAF sensor. So that troubles are not taken 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 run of more than 150-200 thousand km, there are cases of breakage of 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. The approach of a serious problem is indicated by jerks or vibrations when accelerating or while driving in certain modes. After replacing the belt, the variator most likely will no longer work correctly and may soon fail again. The process of clogging the control channels with wear products is practically irreversible, and it is almost impossible to wash 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.
A 4-speed "automatic" is an order of magnitude more reliable than a continuously variable transmission. The peculiarity of the box is jolts during acceleration when switching from 1st to 2nd, until the automatic transmission is warmed up. Problems with the box arise when long runs, more than 250-350 thousand km, due to friction wear. As a rule, the appearance of a long pause indicates the approach of repair when trying to start moving 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.
Chassis
Bushings (200-300 rubles per pair) and struts (500-1000 rubles per piece) of the front and rear stabilizer are the first in the Nissan Primera suspension with a run of more than 80-120 thousand km roll stability. Shock absorbers (3-4 thousand rubles) serve more than 100-150 thousand km. The front suspension arms also go the same amount - the lower ones wear out ball joints and silent blocks. 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 element: the cost of a ball joint is about 500-1000 rubles, a silent block is about 600-700 rubles. The node resource after replacement is about 50-70 thousand km.
Wheel 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.
Tie rods and tips go more than 60-100 thousand km. The cost of the original tip is about 1 thousand rubles, the analogue is about 200-600 rubles, the tie rod is the original about 1500 rubles, the analogue is about 600-1000 rubles.
Knock, play or wedging in the steering with a run of more than 100-150 thousand km are caused by wear of the bearings of the lower cross of the steering shaft - 500-600 rubles. After 100-150 thousand km, the upper steering rack oil seal often begins to leak. The cost of a repair kit is about 3-4 thousand rubles.
Extraneous sounds when driving over bumps can be caused by the front springs - the lower coil hits the spring or rear calipers- wear of guide bushings.
Other problems and malfunctions
After 5-6 years operating Nissan Primera often fall apart plastic door glass holders. The original holders come only complete with power windows, the cost of a non-original repair kit, which includes sometimes torn cables, is about 4-5 thousand rubles.
Some owners of the Example notice the appearance of a knock, rattle or rattle in the rear of the car. On examination, an anguish of the “glass” (body cup) is found rear shock absorber or a metal partition behind the back of the rear seat. For the elimination of the crack and the "welding" of the amplifier in the body service, they will ask about 15-18 thousand rubles.
On older specimens, the outer plastic door handles often “fall off” and the door locks fail.
Electrical and equipment
The trunk opening button often causes problems: over time, the rubber seal breaks, moisture gets inside, the contacts oxidize and “rot”.
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.
Primera electrical problems are the most common malfunctions that begin to overcome after 100-150 thousand km. So sometimes the climate control stops functioning correctly - warm air blows from the air ducts. There are several reasons: a climate air temperature sensor clogged with dust, or a transistor or thermistor burnout in the heater control unit (150-200 rubles). The block burns out due to wear of the heater motor bushings: a large current is required to rotate the electric motor.
Due to the loss of 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, it starts to “fail” on-board computer, the heater fan does not turn off, the radio does not work, and the buttons do not work, except for the heating button rear window. The cost of the new unit 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 the starter, but the loss of contact with the immobilizer antenna. Less often, the key is “lost” by the system, or the key chip fails.
Due to oxidation of the contacts on the ground wire rear lights when you press the brake pedal, the camera may turn on, and when you turn on the turn signal, the car begins to twitch to the flickering beat.
Errors on the front ABS sensors are caused by a broken wire behind the fender liner.
The standard alarm system of the Nissan Primera often pesters with false positives. No one has been able to find the real culprit. It is unrealistic to cure a standard alarm, it is easier to turn it off, which the vast majority of owners did.
Conclusion
Production of the third generation Nissan Primera was discontinued in the spring of 2007 due to falling popularity and low worldwide demand for the car.
