Just bought a 2012 Hatchback, with the apparently infamous 1.8…
Im a long time Nissan/NISMO fan, had a few older Sentras and a matching pair of 2002 Spec V Sentras (only difference being on number in the VIN).
I thought Nissan had the 1.8s down, why all the slap and oil problems? Im very nervous about this motor after reading here. It is noisy on old starts already. Should I take it in immediatly? SHould I back out of the deal…?
On a plus note, I bought it and drove it down the oregon coast about 200 miles in nasty weather, a relatively comfortable and decent driving car, power is adequate, noise is good for an econobox, not as susceptible to cross winds as I would have thought and overall Ill grow to love this little thing.
As long as the motor holds together, was hoping for something I could get a couple hundred thousand miles out of.
