how much does it cost to get a tune up at nissan and if i can do it myself what would this entail and cost. how much would it run me to have nissan repaair all the sensors??

 

All sensors

I'm sure there's a sticky on this... try reading them to find it.

 

You should call and ask how much they want for the service. I can't tell you because I AVOID going to the dealer like the plague. I'm sure it will be several hundred dollars at least.

Your owner's manual calls out what has to be done at the various service intervals. 60,000 miles is a major service, 90,000 miles, etc.

Tune-up involves mostly changing the spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter, checking PCV valve, inspecting EGR system, etc. It would be a good idea to flush and fill your cooling system at the same time.

The plugs are expensive if you get the right kind, NGK Iridium run about $50-60 for the set. You will need another $25 or so for the filters. $10 for misc supplies, like anti-seize compound. You'll need anti-freeze if you flush the cooling system. Figure around $100 altogether for parts and supplies.

Yes, you can do it yourself. If you have not done anything like this before, try and find a friend who has, they can show you a lot.

You will need some tools, if you don't have them already. A basic socket set, pliers, screwdrivers, that kind of thing.

Don't change your sensors unless they are going bad. There's no need to.

 

hahah i mean the knock sensor, MAF sensor etc etc i belive my knock sensor is goin bad

 

knock sensor isn't easy, there's a write-up on www.vqpower.com i think. you can take your car to autozone and they'll check your knock sensor for free, i think. otherwise you can do it yourself with a voltmeter. it would be a pretty expensive job for nissan to do, at least 400 probably (compared to 100 or less to diy it). as far as the other tune-up stuff, MilesA pretty much got it right, although you should ngk platinums or coppers, not the iridiums (more than you need, so it's a waste of money).

 

Nissan in Cleveland wanted 800 for the KS... did it myself after reading on line proceedure of reaching under intake manifold rather than taking it off... cost $189 ks at Autozone and 56 for new wrenches

 

Why replace the MAF sensor? That part is like $400 at the stealership plus they'll charge labor... If it's bad, then buy a used one and replace it yourself...

Do the tuneup yourself also (get a little kid to help with the KS if the ECU has a ghost code), read the "How To" thread at the top...

I thought people came here to learn how to do stuff themselves and not get raped by the dealer
