They told me it might be a rod!!! ....i was wondering if anyone else had problems with this? I know its covered under warranty but DAMN...a rod?!!! Thats BS...

Anyway it has knockin coming from the engine which is why i brought it in, in the first place....well that and also cuz there is a bird like chirpping noise coming from the engine as well...Well at least they are changing out the whole engine and i dont have to change my belts now haha (tryin to stay optimistic about it)

 

Good luck getting your car back within 2 weeks. Must have been a bad noise for them to just replace the whole engine. Maybe that dealership is just bored.

 

Oh sh*t!! That sucks! I was pissed about my trany but the whole engine!

Hope you have it back soon!

 

just wondering, when you get the engine replaced do they give you a brand new one with 0 miles on it?

 

Good luck with your car bro... Hope everything goes well.....

 

Yea thats what i said...they straight called me up and said come pick up your rental we have to change out ur engine...im like WAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Then i was like cuz i get a new engine
What happend to ur tranny?
Yea i asked the same question...they replace it with a brand new engine no refurbish or anything...its brand spanking new
Thanks man me too...they said maybe one week but i highly doubt that

 

started slipping so they replaced it with a new one.

 

I'll buy your old engine if you're willing to sell for semi cheap.

 

Nissan just replaced my motor 4K ago cause of pre-cat failure.

New motor is pimp and soo sooo quiet.

Brand new motor and they put all my after market **** back on without charging me anything.

That's a good one!

 

I pretty sure i will not have the option to get the engine myself...they will most likely sell it themselves so they dont really lose much.
haha...im suprised they didnt say it was all ur aftermarket stuff that caused the problem...

I cant wait to have a brand new motor...my baby is gonna be brand new


BTW i have to drive this 07' Sentra...car sucks of course but i do like the new shiftless tranny in it!....i knew the new maximas had it but didnt know the sentra do too....when i stomped it to get on the freeway it the rpm's just stayed at like 6,000 without shifting....it is pretty sweet...i can only imagine what its like with a real engine

 

So they didn't give you BS about the engine problems being caused by your aftermarket mods? I want to start modding my 6th gen once I get it, but I'm afraid the dealer might give me trouble if concerning this.

 

I wouldnt be to worried about it. Most bolt ons they wont give you much **** about. IF you do internals your asking for it. And no NOS. lol

 

That sucks but at least she gets new life!!!

 

WHAT????????????????????????????

I would take a new engine any day man. An extra 150K miles for the car? Take your TIME installing it I'm a happy man!

 

The car itself will wear out before the engine

 

It is nice that Nissan took care of it with a minimum of hassle.

 

They know what I do and that I dont tollerate bullshat. They also know that I know cars. So they just fixed it.

 

Was it just ticking loudly or did it die altogether?

 

Yea good luck man. Getting her a new motor is sweet. Nissan warrenty is ok the replace my motor in my 350Z but it took me some complaing to get it done. But it was replaced.. Took them only 5 days. Two weeks is plenty of time.

 

I was just making a light knocking sound it was driving fine but i knew something wasnt right...and sure enough...BAM!!! Change the whole motor

Yea im actually happy that this happened except for the fact i have to drive around a nissan sentra that everyone thinks is mine lol...

WHat happened to the 350z motor? ....i hope mine only takes a week cuz i dont wanna drive this car anymore than i already am...also school starts soon and i dont wanna go in my rental piece lol

 

I threw a rod in after a dealership had done some major engine work and they replaced it but when it threw the rod it sounded like a tiny person inside of the engine with a huge sledgehammer. It was very loud just like someone pounding one of those metal spikes in to the ground with a sledgehammer.

Good luck and I hope it all works out and hopefully if things do go wrong they are still covered under warranty. I wonder what this would have cost if it came out of pocket.

Oil consuption, I'm sure you guys have all heard of it. I was going through 2 quarts a week. It was so bad I had to drive the car with the windows down( Nov-Dec last year FN cold man) Any way the enigine was shot.The last time I brought it in for them to check the oil level there was none bone dry ( Accually like a 1/2 a quart of oil) So that day they kept it and gave me a rental. URG I got a lumina ****y car but they paid for it and swapped my motor oh BTW engine only had 12k on it when it was replaced.

 

Well i had like 3 different noises coming from my engine...one was my belt then the knocking and also some weird bird chirping type of noise....but yea its covered...if it wasnt i would be **** out of luck....im barely able to make payments on bills at this point in time much less a whole motor ha....fck cali is expensive lol
