Specifications nissan x trail engine 2.8. Second hand: Nissan X-Trail second generation

The alternation of the period of frost and thaw, so characteristic of Central Russia, often causes the rubber bands of windshield wipers to freeze to it due to frost.

How can such problems be avoided?

In order to encounter this phenomenon as rarely as possible, car drivers use various methods. The most popular method is still the method of lifting their leashes, and leaving them in this state for the entire parking time. Despite the fact that this makes it possible to ensure that the rubber bands do not freeze to the windshield, there is another negative point - the stretching of the springs.

Causes of freezing wipers. The most likely cause is bad weather, with precipitation in the form of sleet or rain. At sub-zero air temperatures, snow on windshield machine causes ice to form. The consequence of this is the blocking of the glass cleaners.

Ways to prevent. There are several options to prevent this situation from occurring.

Option 1. Treatment with silicone grease.

This method is one of the most inexpensive, but quite effective. Most drivers know that silicone is inherently water repellent. This means that its application can serve as a solution to the problem of icing on the wipers, and freezing of the brushes to the windshield. Most the best option The choice will be a lubricant in the form of a spray with a dispenser, which will enable the fastest and most high-quality processing of the required areas.

Before using this remedy, you need to completely remove the snow from the windshield and wipers, and wipe them with an “anti-freeze”. After that, on the part of the brush with a rubber coating, apply the indicated agent in a thin layer, and distribute along its entire length with a dry cloth.

Option 2. Installing heating strips.

Another fairly effective option that belongs to the budget category. It is a small strip that should be glued to the windshield in the place where the windshield wipers usually end. They work from the cigarette lighter in the cabin, and after they warm up, the ice crust will be removed in about 5 minutes.

Option 3. Isolate the brushes from the glass.

In the place where the wipers and glass come into contact, they must be wiped with a dry cloth. After that, they should be put on specially prepared covers. If you are going to start the car in the morning, it will be enough just to remove the covers from the wipers to prepare them for work.

Option 4: Use alcohol.

A fairly simple and effective way. It is necessary to dilute alcohol with water in a ratio of 2: 1, and then spray the resulting liquid onto the windshield. This will prevent the rubber bands of the brushes from freezing to

The heart of the car, of course, is the engine. The Nissan X-Trail initially received a motor, which at the time the X line was launched was indeed the newest technology. The concern's designers developed a lightweight engine that produced fairly good performance. The entire line has a DOHC (Double OverHead Camshaft) layout. 2 camshafts at the top. 4 cylinders with 4 valves each. A total of 16 valves. Aluminum cylinder block. Injection injection. This design was light, inexpensive to assemble, reasonably reliable with a good power/economy balance. The manufacturer sacrificed the maintainability of the engine in order to achieve these parameters. Also, the design did not provide for hydraulic lifters. That is why the Nissan X-Trail engine requires compliance with the maintenance and operating regulations. The idea of ​​this engine was simple: a reliable, inexpensive, powerful enough engine that should serve its due date and can be replaced. The engine is not intended for tuning or repair!

That is why we are extremely negative about HBO, chip tuning and other experiments with this type of motors. This directly contradicts the concept of its creation. And in 100% of cases it leads to problems.

So. engine types.

QR20DE- the very first. 2l. Petrol. 140 HP Belong to the category of economical. The engine is extremely sensitive to violations of maintenance regulations. To low-quality fuel and oil. Overheating of such an engine is not just a deviation from the norm, but in 99% leads to deformation. Not a single knowledgeable master will undertake to “capitalize” it, since it no longer makes much sense. It is better to change immediately. But in the case of proper maintenance, the engines quietly go up to 300 thousand km or more.

QR25DE- the next generation (taking into account the minuses of the first). 2.5l. Petrol. 171hp In fact, this is the same qr 20de in which the connecting rods have become shorter and the crankshaft has changed. After that, the working volume and performance characteristics increased. This engine became more reliable in terms of violations of maintenance regulations. Zhor oil and overheating on it are rare. But at the same time, he received a minus, which few people know about. The optimal engine speed is 2200 rpm. Peak torque at 4000rpm. But the design allows you to go at 1000 rpm. That is what is the problem. Since driving at low speeds leads to overloads on the mechanics of the engine. And for tysyach 100 leads to damage. If you don’t know about it, you can think that you are saving, in fact, you are just wearing out the engine. The good news is that this model the engine is more maintainable. "capital" is almost always successful in the hands of a good master.

This engine is considered the most successful in the line and was carried over to subsequent X-Trail models.

MR20DE. Appeared on T31 in 2007. 2.0l. Petrol. 141 HP The diameter of the cylinders has changed. Increased compression ratio. Quite economical. Feature - mandatory valve adjustment every 90 thousand. If you often press high speeds out of it, the timing chain is guaranteed to stretch. A more fragile body - if the candles are overtightened, cracks in the wells are possible. You must use a torque wrench.

YD22DDTi turbodiesel 2.2 l. Installed on X-Trail T 30. 136 hp. Sufficiently economical and powerful motor. Not a particularly problematic engine. problem place is the failure of the glow plugs and the flow of intercooler oil. Very picky about the quality of fuel.

For changing YD 22 came M9R. Installed on T31. Improved turbine. New system injection. New piezoelectric injectors. The shaft system has also been changed. Engine added particulate filter and a catalyst. Excellent power characteristics, environmental friendliness and consumption. The most successful, proven engine from the diesel X series

R9M . diesel engine for T32. 130 HP This is already an engine jointly developed by Nissan & Renault. Less weight, very economical for the same power characteristics. Modern quality engine. Information about the chronic problems of such a unit has not yet been collected.

February 25, 2012 → mileage 32000 km

A squeaky bucket for the lower middle class.

32,000 km, it seemed that there is something to tell the unlucky thoughtful future buyer of this car. For me, this was the first car bought in a store from a dealer for mega-money, with official maintenance during operation, mandatory CASCO, which I had never done before. That is, he moved for the first time, not counting UAZs and Muscovites in early childhood, the Volga and a long line of right-hand drive used Toyotas (Kaldina, Crown, Hayes, Cross, Vista), Nissan March, Honda Accord, Honda S-MX, on new car from the store.

Having traveled decently for a year, the usual number of kilometers for all my cars, I discovered the pros and cons, which I will share.

I went for a test drive, the dealer allows you to drive far, so you can understand. So, drive as long as you can on the test. And not just once.

Show off. Shopping in a store is cool, and you should probably do it at least once. Unless you forget that the money is not yours, but the bank's. And he needs to pay regularly 22,000 per month. And there are still 550,000 left to pay, which is unpleasant to realize.

The warranty is very good, but it should be noted that before that, not a single Japanese car in my service so often disappeared - either MOT or breakdown.

CASCO is expensive, about 55,000 a year, but it pays off in the case of this particular car - a door, another door and a threshold were painted (12,000, 78,000 (here the door was changed, therefore expensive)), cracked windshield was changed (about 30,000). Tip - when you draw up CASCO, find out how many times you can claim damage without calling the traffic police, with some companies twice a year, which is more profitable.

A shiny car from the store does not shine for a long time, after several washes it is evenly covered with scratches from rags when wiping the car. This car is poorly painted, in some places the varnish swells near the lanterns, if you inaccurately go out and the belt buckle hits the door - dents and chips form easily.

I liked this unit on the go - the ride is soft, the engine is powerful, acceleration along the highway when overtaking is confident. I would not recommend a two-liter engine - this is barely enough. Consumption is a very important indicator for me, in the summer with kondeem it constantly eats 12.5 on the computer, in winter with constant warming up - 14.2 liters. Driving around the city, but do not stand in traffic jams for a long time. Long lines around the city every day, so the average consumption is acceptable. The owner of a 2-liter complained about a consumption of 25 liters, but he does not drive much, he gets warmer, in my opinion.

Regular rubber - just throw it away, I didn’t like it very much, it slows down badly, squeals when cornering, some kind of hard one. Changed. Well, and for the winter, of course, a new one. Each set 25-28,000.

Noise isolation is so-so, it makes noise from the wheel arches and from the wind, the desire arises to soundproof additionally.

The salon is very creaky, just a very creaky back door, the back sofa knocks, the front panel creaks, the tape recorder. Dealer tried to fix it but couldn't. And bodybuilders and alarm installers.

The interior is fabric, the fabric has already turned white in the driver's seat.

The driver's seat is comfortable, but I could not sit down completely comfortably, my personal characteristics are visible.

There is no legroom for rear passengers, it is uncomfortable to sit down. The sofa does not move.

There is a lot of space in the trunk, but I don’t use it - so, sleds and a stroller. Once drove washing machine would fit one more.

Speaker sound is below average. The radio antenna picks up well. Bluetooth connects well.

Roof lights are an unnecessary option, but somehow harmonizes the awkward appearance of the car. Luke is gone and I'm glad he isn't. Unnecessary option.

Headlight washer - turned off, unnecessary useless nonsense, only wastes water, does not wash anything. The fact that there is no water level indicator in the tank is inconvenient.

Suspension - together with rattlesnake back door- the biggest drawback. I only drive in the city. The roads, of course, are bad, not so much pits as bumps into which the car dives, straining all its weak rubber bands and bearings. At 20,000 they died, banging, both front strut plain bearings were replaced under warranty. Silent blocks creaked at 30,000 in front and, it seems, in the back. The dealer is not very happy, go with him, show him, and he says - I don’t hear anything. Then, apparently, the links began to knock. I'm going to get diagnosed. The problem with this dealer service is that they try to prove to you that everything is in order, they diagnose in your absence, in the shop. If the car is not under warranty - you bought the part, changed it, there is no this process - prove that something is knocking there. And the car, you know, came to the reception, the tooth hurt and stopped.

But the funniest joke with this car is the crunch in the drives. Which is not going to be fixed! It's from the cold! And keep driving until it gets warmer. We have winter from November to April. A crunch during acceleration, when one of the wheels in a straight line slightly loosens the load on it, on a bump there, and you hear a distinct loud rattle. The dealer tore it apart, smeared it with new grease, said that I was in a good big company and was not going to change. The most annoying part is this crunch.

By the way, it starts up well in the winter, -32 in the morning it started up from the key fob without warming up at night.

THEN. One of those unnecessary expensive things when buying a new car. An oil change usually costs around 8000. With filters. The last MOT cost 18,000, the front pads were worn out, the candles must be changed, very expensive. In ordinary life, you will spend twice as much. Maintenance every 10,000. Severe operating conditions. But I agree with this statement. Although in the same city, KIA has 15,000 mileage between maintenance.



11.07.2018

Nissan X-trail engines have several generations and modifications. These units are of considerable interest to motorists both before and after buying this car. The most frequently discussed issues are reliability, resource, specifications and economy. During its history, which began in 2000, motors have earned a reputation for being reliable, unpretentious and easy to repair. In addition to the X-trail, they were installed on Nissan Teana, Premiere, Qashqai and others.

The line of crossover engines can be divided into three generations. Modifications with the QR index were placed on the first generation X-trail in the back of the T30. At the time of its launch, this unit was quite modern motor, which has collected the most necessary and proven technologies. Next in model range a modification of the MR20DE for the T31 body appeared, which was replaced by the MR20DD, with direct injection, which meets modern requirements for environmental friendliness, power and fuel consumption.

Separately, there are two diesel engines in the lineup, which attract motorists with some features, but are not without flaws, and are much less common than their gasoline counterparts.

QR20DE

The two-liter QR20DE engine is most often found on the Nissan X-trail T30. It was installed on cars from the very beginning of production and replaced the older SR20DE. The four-cylinder engine is made according to the classic DOHC layout with two overhead camshafts and 4 valves per cylinder. There is a system for changing the valve timing on the intake shaft, which has become one of its differences from the previous model. There are no hydraulic lifters. This design is considered simple, inexpensive to manufacture, and provides sufficient power and torque with low fuel consumption.

The engine has an all-aluminum cylinder block and injector injection which became a trend in the early 2000s. At that time, just the automotive industry was about to turn to the side power units, which during their service life should bring a minimum of trouble to their owners with timely maintenance, and be quite reliable. Maintainability was sacrificed for this, while the overhaul with the replacement of the piston and cylinder bore gave the engine new life a thing of the past, so the cases of such repairs starting from the QR series and above are rare and are performed by real enthusiasts.

Engine 2.0 Nissan X-trail QR20DE

The 2.0 engine power on the Nissan X-trail is 140 Horse power, torque - 192 Nm. These characteristics, in principle, are enough for the crossover both in the city and on the highway, but it cannot boast of good dynamics and gas responsiveness. Overtaking at high speed is quite confident, but they need to be calculated in advance, if it becomes necessary to accelerate sharply, at a speed of 10 km / h, the car will not do this even with the gas pedal fully depressed at the peak of torque.

At low revs, the 2.0 QR20DE engine pulls surprisingly well, here, apparently, the overall low weight of the car is only one and a half tons. Such a mass was the result of the focused work of Nissan engineers, which was aimed at improving the efficiency of the car.

Low fuel consumption was a necessity to compete with the heavy and voracious SUVs of the late 90s, especially since the crossover was more focused on European and Asian markets, where economy and functionality are valued rather than high power. Already at 1500 rpm in low gears, stable traction is felt, which allows the car to move confidently even when loaded. Its lack is felt on the road and when overcoming bumps, when you need to maintain a very low speed, and the load is significant. This shortcoming could be easily eliminated by adding low gear, but the X-trail does not have it.

Some consider the QR20DE motor to be unsuccessful, arguing with oil consumption, the occurrence of rings, the need to adjust valve clearances, and so on. Here it should be noted right away that most of the technical problems appear on these engines as a result of poor maintenance, delays with oil changes and unskilled repairs in suspicious workshops, which are now very common. At first, the motor forgives an increase in the service interval, bad oil, replacement fuel filter just on warranty period, but over time, problems pop up, and talk begins about poor reliability, a low resource of 200,000 km, and so on. In fact, with due attention and following the simple rules of operation and maintenance, the Nissan 2.0 engine of the QR series can freely move 200,000 km without any intervention in technical part.

QR25DE

The 2.5-liter QR25DE four-cylinder gasoline engine appeared on the Nissan X-trail in 2003. It was then that a restyled crossover in the back of the T-30 appeared on sale. The unit was designed to give the car, as they say, a second wind, to give something that was lacking in an easy and manageable X-trail - dynamics. And the developers did it. The differences between the motor and the younger two-liter brother have become minimal - shortened connecting rods and a new crankshaft, with the help of which the piston stroke will increase to 100 mm. As a result, the working volume increased from 2 to 2.5 liters.

As a result, the crossover acquired a more lively character and became much more cheerful. Overtaking dynamics has improved, the reaction to pressing the gas pedal has become more pronounced. Engine power 2.5 is 171 liters. from. torque - 233 Nm at 4000 rpm. The increase in working volume had a positive effect on traction with low speed. Nissan did not suffer from its lack anyway, but then it began to behave like real SUV. Contributed to this, as mentioned above, the low weight of the machine.

Good bottom-end traction from Nissan X-trail gasoline engines not only adds to the capabilities of the car, but can also create problems if handled ineptly. Since the car goes almost a thousand revolutions, some owners do not turn the engine up to normal speed, and it runs in a half-strangled state. With a lack of speed, the ShPG is subjected to an increased load, which after 100,000 km of run can result in certain problems associated with oil consumption and so on. It must be remembered that the optimal speed is 80% of those at which the engine shows maximum torque. For X-trail gasoline engines, this is about 3,000.

Motor X-trail T31 QR25DE

Fuel consumption QR25DE according to the passport:

  • Track - 8.4;
  • Mixed cycle - 10.7;
  • City — 13 liters.

In fact, such figures were seen, most likely, only at the factory. We often hear from X-trail owners that the real consumption of these cars is much higher, the reviews show figures of 15-20 liters or more. And the owners of different gasoline engines complain about this. It was not possible to trace a significant difference between the 2.0 and 2.5 engines, but some say that the 2.5 version has even a little less consumption in a quiet driving mode, but in a more sporty one it is more voracious than the less voluminous QR20DE.

Nissan QR series motors usually rarely fail due to design flaws, but some of the most common should be mentioned:

Sometimes, especially among fans of sports driving, the timing chain is stretched. This happens after 100-150 thousand kilometers. A characteristic ringing appears in the engine, revolutions begin to float, dips and twitches are felt during movement.

Oil zhor appears up to 1 liter per thousand kilometers or more.
The problem is most often associated with the occurrence of piston rings caused by untimely replacement oil and its low quality.

To get some other malfunctions on QR engines with a range of up to 200,000 km, you will have to try hard.

In general, the QR25DE engine turned out to be successful, so its production was transferred from the T30 body to the T31 and T32 cars with certain modifications, which included changing the valve timing on the exhaust shaft and changing the geometry of the intake manifold.

MR20DE

In 2007, with the release of the new T31 body, Nissan X-trail began to install new engine volume 2.0 - MR20DE. This motor is very similar to its predecessor, however, it also has changes that made it a little more powerful and high-torque. The volume and layout remained the same, the cylinder diameter and piston stroke changed, the compression ratio increased from 9.9 to 10.2, which increased power and torque. Now the 2.0 engine produces 141 hp. from. and 196 Nm. The peak moment has shifted 800 rpm upwards - 4800 versus 4000.

Nissan X-trail T31 (2007-2014) MR20DE

The unit is still not equipped with hydraulic lifters, therefore, when characteristic sound, you need to go to adjust the valves, but it is better to do this in advance about once every 90,000 kilometers.

You can often hear the question of what is used in Nissan X-trail engines, a belt or chain. In the engines of the QR and MR series on this car, a chain is used as a timing mechanism drive, the resource of which is approximately 200,000 km, so Nissan does not require maintenance in the form of replacing the belt every 60,000 km.

Among the main problems of the MR20DE motor are:

  • High oil consumption up to one liter per hundred kilometers and above. Occurs on runs over 100,000 km. The cause is usually wear and tear. oil scraper rings or the working surface of the cylinder;
  • Stretching and noise of the timing chain among lovers of dynamic driving. Eliminated by replacing the chain.

Cracking of cylinder head spark plug wells is often called a problem. Appears after changing spark plugs. It is hardly worth attributing this moment to the shortcomings of the engine, since it appears solely as a result of a violation of the repair technology. To avoid it, you should change the candles only on a cold engine, tightening with the necessary force with a torque wrench.

As can be seen from the above, the problems that can appear during the operation of X-trail engines are quite serious and can require a lot of time and money to solve. However, you should pay attention to the fact that their causes, in most cases, are improper maintenance, unskilled repairs, operation in difficult conditions, the units themselves are quite reliable and, by modern standards, durable.

MR20DD

This designation has a new Nissan engine, which is used on the third generation X-trail in the T32 body. This motor is present in the lineup along with the old, but modified, QR25DE and the R9M turbodiesel.

The main difference from the two-liter MR20DE was the presence of a direct fuel injection system and variable valve timing on both shafts instead of one. These improvements are necessary to meet the new efficiency requirements and emission standards. In addition, the compression ratio increased to 11.2, which added a few extra horses to the engine. Similar design solutions are widely used by automakers on their cars, especially in Europe and the USA (GDI for Kia, FSI for VW, Skoda and others).

The direct injection 2.0 X-trail T32 engine is more torquey than its predecessor, with improved throttle response and high-speed pickup. The power of the unit is now 144 liters. with., torque 200 at 4400 rpm.

Along with the improvement in performance, the motor also received some disadvantages inherent in the design with direct injection:

  1. High demands on the quality of fuel and consumables;
  2. Shorter service intervals;
  3. High repair cost;
  4. The need for highly qualified employees who carry out work on this unit.

There is still little information on common breakdowns and reliability of the motor, due to the relatively recent start of production, but, apparently, they will differ little from those that were on the previous MR20DE model. Of the problems, malfunctions of the fuel equipment for the direct supply system to the cylinders and a higher probability of an error in setting the correct position of the shafts when replacing the timing chain can be added.

In terms of fuel consumption, the Nissan X-trail with the new 2.0 engine, the manufacturer promises 9.4 liters per hundred in city mode, 7.5 in the combined cycle, 6.4 liters in the country with the new eight-speed CVT. In fact, such indicators, of course, are extremely difficult to obtain, it is not known in which super-quiet driving modes the engineers managed to obtain them, but, according to the reviews of the owners and measurements real consumption, more plausible figures are at least two to three liters more in city mode. And the most interesting thing is that the consumption of a two-liter engine with direct injection is often higher than that of another gasoline engine from the line - the upgraded QR25DE, with a volume of 2.5 liters. Discussions on this topic are ongoing, but a clear explanation of this situation has not yet followed.

Engine Nissan X‑Trail 2 liters became one of the most popular power units on two generations of an SUV at once. The gasoline naturally aspirated engine of the MR20DE series can be found not only on Nissan models, but also under the hood of many Renault cars, where the engine is called the Renault M4R. An in-line 4-cylinder 16-valve engine has both pros and cons. Today we will talk about everything in more detail.


Engine device X‑Trail 2 liters

The in-line 4-cylinder 16-valve X‑Trail gasoline engine has an aluminum cylinder block. Timing chain drive, there is a system for changing the valve timing with a phase shifter on the intake camshaft. There are no hydraulic lifters in the cylinder head. The valves must be adjusted manually by selecting pushers-washers of different thicknesses. After 140,000 - 150,000 kilometers, some engines have piston rings and oil consumption exceeds a liter per thousand kilometers. Replacing rings is quite expensive, so carefully monitor the quality of fuel and choose high-quality motor oil.

Engine cylinder head Nissan X Trail 2 liters

Nissan X-Trail block head made of aluminum alloy. Two camshafts rotate in the bearing housing, which press their cams directly on the valves through special pushers. The camshafts are not attached by separate covers, but by a common pastel. Candle wells have very thin walls, an excess of force when tightening the candles leads to cracks in the cylinder head. And this, in turn, is leaking antifreeze. Repair of such a head is not possible, only replacement. The valve timing mechanism on the intake shaft is implemented using hydraulic system. An increase in pressure causes an increase in the deviation of the camshaft from the nominal position relative to the valve axes. The oil pressure level is controlled by a solenoid valve controlled by the electronics of the X-Trail engine.

Timing drive Nissan X trail 2 liters

Timing drive X‑Trail 2.0 chain. Two chains. One bigger size rotates sprockets camshafts, the second small oil pump sprocket. With intensive use, the chain begins to stretch after 100,000 runs. This leads to a phase shift that even the automation that controls the phase shifter cannot correct. With a strong stretch of the chain, an error occurs in the operation of the phase shifter, and it becomes quite difficult to start the car on a cold one. The timing diagram is further in the photo.
