Nissan cd17 engine
Content
Many motorists are familiar with the Nissan cd17 engine. It could be found on Nissan models produced in the early 90s.
Moreover, the power units proved to be very reliable, even in domestic conditions.
Engine description
Four-cylinder diesel engine designed for Nissan sedans. It was used on some models supplied to Europe and Russia. Deserved recognition of drivers as one of the most reliable diesel engines.
This power unit was created in the mid-80s, but only in 1989 it reached the conveyor. Since this year, it has been installed on several models.
Installed on cars until 1999. It was produced at once by several enterprises that are part of the Nissan concern. Some companies produced motors of this model until 2005 under a contract.
Technical specifications
This diesel engine is highly economical and unpretentious. That allowed him to find well-deserved fame in our country. It is easy to repair and operate. All main technical characteristics can be found in the table.

The engine resource, depending on the conditions of use, can vary between 200-300 thousand kilometers. A lot depends on how you use it. If you perform scheduled maintenance in a timely manner and monitor the quality of the fuel, the engine will serve for a long time.
The number of the power unit is located quite tricky. An uninitiated person will not immediately find it. It is located on a small aluminum plate, which is located under the collector.
There you can see all the data for a particular motor. It is especially important to check its presence when buying a power plant separately. If the nameplate is missing, this may mean the risk of a criminal origin of the node.
Motor reliability
As mentioned above, this ICE is reliable. It is worth considering why the cd17 motor is so good.
First of all, it should be noted the combination of gears and a timing belt. Due to the peculiarities of the belt and drive pulleys, which have sufficiently large serifs, even when the drive is stretched, slippage does not occur. This saves negligent motorists from the need for major repairs.
It is worth paying attention to the extreme unpretentiousness to fuel. Even low-quality diesel fuel does not adversely affect the operation of the engine. This allows you to operate Nissan with such a motor with virtually no restrictions. But, it is worth remembering that the constant use of low-quality fuel can lead to problems with the power system.
Separately, it is worth mentioning the resistance to wear of rubbing parts. Even at high loads, the crankshaft, piston and camshaft have low output, which allows you to push back the mandatory capital period of the motor.
To extend the life of the car's power plant, it is important to check and adjust valve clearances every 50 thousand kilometers. This work is mandatory, otherwise the motor will lose power, and there will also be increased wear.
Maintainability
If you read the reviews, you can understand that this engine is not only reliable, but also perfectly repaired. And often components from other car models fit it without problems. For example, instead of a native oil filter, you can put a consumable from the VAZ classic, there will be no problems. If you look at the photo that contains the instruction book, the similarity can be easily seen.
Since this is a diesel, there may be problems with the injection pump. Difficulties usually arise when using contaminated fuel. In most cases, it is enough to remove the part and clean it.
The main thing when reinstalling is to observe whether all the marks match. At the same time it is worth checking and cleaning the nozzles.
Sometimes a malfunction occurs when the motor does not gain temperature. There may be several reasons for this, but most often the piston overhang (the amount of piston protrusion) is to blame. This is due to a slight deformation of the connecting rod. Sometimes it is even impossible to put the cylinder head in place after repair. In this case, it is necessary to completely sort out the motor.
What kind of oil to pour
Quite often, owners of diesel cars are wondering what kind of oil to use for the engine. If we consider the issue in the context of the cd17 motor, synthetic lubricant would be the best option. But, at the same time, semi-synthetics are no worse. It is only important to purchase a product produced according to the regulations, and also to avoid fakes.
It is much more important in our conditions to pay attention to the viscosity of the oils used in the engine. The performance of the power unit at any time of the year depends on this. To select, you should refer to the engine manual (engine manual), there is a detailed list of acceptable oils.
There is a very extensive list of lubricants, from which we can conclude that you can fill in any semi-synthetic (synthetic) lubricant that is suitable for the season.
What cars did you install it on?
As already mentioned, they put such an engine on several models. And they are all quite popular. Even in a set of Mattel Disney toys you can find these cars. All models were actively supplied to Europe and Russia, so many of our motorists are familiar with the motor.
Here is the list of models:
- Nissan AD (10.1990 - 05.1999) Y10, station wagon, II generation;
- Nissan Pulsar (08.1990 — 12.1994) N14, sedan, IV generation;
- Nissan Sunny (01.1990 - 12.1991) sedan, VII generation, B13;
- Nissan Sunny (01.1992 - 11.1993) restyling, sedan, VII generation, B13.
As you can see, the production of cars continued for a long time.
