First post!
I had a 2002 Sentra in the past, loved that car.
Looking to get a Versa
Q:
Is the 1.8L engine the same as the sentra?
If so, has the head gasket issue been solved?
(at the 100,000 Mi point, my Sentra, had a head gasket leak and read it was not uncommon)
No it's a newer engine. These have piston fit issues instead. But only some obviously, luck of the draw as to if you get a good engine. I have 333 000KM on my MR18.
I had a 2001 Sentra 1.8 as well, no head gasket issues over 300000km. I assumed Versa was same engine when I bought it, but no, that'll teach me to assume haha
Enjoy your new Versa, ask lots of questions, welcome!
