Nissan HRA2DDT engine
Content
The Japanese automaker Nissan is a benchmark manufacturer that focuses on functionality and the highest quality of its products. Almost a hundred-year history of the company has allowed it to roll off the assembly line thousands of excellent cars and no less number of high-quality engines. Let's talk about one of the latter in more detail today.
To be more precise, we will talk about the internal combustion engine with the name HRA2DDT. The history of creation, principles of operation and characteristics of the unit can be found below.
A few words about the engine
HRA2DDT is a fairly young engine. Its serial production continues to this day, and began in 2011, marking a long, productive cooperation between the Renault and Nissan concerns. Working together, the French and Japanese managed to develop a very functional, high-quality and reliable unit. No wonder it became the base in the concept of several models at once from each manufacturer.
Renault and Nissan engineers say the HRA2DDT engine was designed as an innovative generation of powertrains for passenger cars and compact crossovers. Having set the goal of combining the compactness and power of the internal combustion engine, the manufacturers managed to achieve it and designed a very high-quality unit. Today, the use of HRA2DDT is not uncommon.
Reviews about the operation of this motor are extremely positive, so it is not necessary to be surprised at its demand in the automotive industry and even in the secondary market.
Detailed technical characteristics of the engine in question will be covered a little later. Now it is impossible not to mention the general concept of the unit. Immediately, we note that there are no significant innovations in it. Most of the advantages of HRA2DDT stem from the technology of its construction, namely, the use of lightweight but strong materials. 4 cylinders, 16 valves and an aluminum engine base are not surprising, but its turbine and cooling system are quite interesting. There are few places where you can find a low-inertia turbine placed in such a small motor and supplemented by intercooling. It is thanks to their presence that the Japanese-French group of engineers managed to achieve high power density and excellent work dynamics.

Motor repair and maintenance
HRA2DDT is not only a good motor in terms of functionality, but also quite high quality in terms of assembly. Judging by the reviews of motorists, the engine breaks down infrequently and is unpretentious in operation. Typical HRA2DDT faults are:
- excessive appetite for oil (reaches a consumption of half a liter per 100 kilometers);
- unstable idle;
- malfunctions of the phase regulator;
- timing failure ahead of time;
- leaking oil and coolant.
Most breakdowns are easy to fix. HRA2DDT repairs are carried out both by specialized Nissan or Renault centers, and by ordinary service stations. Fortunately for the owners of this internal combustion engine, it is repairable and its use in this regard is extremely simple.
Interesting! If necessary, any motorist can purchase the HRA2DDT engine and adapt it to his car. The average cost of a motor is at the level of 100 rubles in the secondary market, auctions, and about 000 directly from manufacturers.
Perhaps, on this the most important information on the topic of today's article has come to an end. We hope that the presented material was useful to all readers of our resource and helped to understand the essence of the HRA2DDT aggregate. Good luck on the roads!
