Cost of new engine, 2006 Nissan Note

Bettyboop

Does anyone know approximately the cost of an Engine for a
2006 Nissan Note?? And best place to have it fitted ?
Thanks

Oops!

Diesel or petrol? Little bit more info is needed for anybody to give you advice. Where are you based?

Probably more than the car is worth unfortunately, putting a new engine in a <1000 euro car is not very economical

Reconditioned engine, fitted, €1,500 or so. New engine €2.2 - 2.5k

You would get a well kept 2006/07 complete car for that in Ireland or UK.

What happens with old engine?

Ring local mechanics, they will give you quotes.

The used engine does not cost a load, but installation cost. It is not the rocket science, you can do it. Source the used engine, typically something 200-300eur for that car, buy(about 200-300eur)/rent the engine lifting tool and DIY. Only remember to check the clutch before the installation. If it worn out, replace entire clutch kit. The used engine needs the new timing belt, idler wheel, tension roller and the water pump too. The last one (the water pump) are not so critical, but it is easy to replace on same time as timing belt.

I’m all on for encouraging people to get stuck in and do a bit of DIY but this is taking it to new levels..

We all can do a bit of DIY, I can replace brake pads and other little things, but not a chance I would even attempt engine swap.

There are also random bits of tools needed, but sure Halford will get you sorted in minutes. Maybe another person to help out, if you have a kid you can ask him/her to give you a hand.

What else are we missing

Replacing fuses is not rocket science. Engine swap is for most.

The note engine and gearbox are so tiny, no need the crane at all.



Do you know how I made my engine swap about 30 years ago? It sounds funny but 100% true story. By tree branch and the rope. The engine was heavier than nissan note one. These days are such a fancy cranes and still people struggle. I am sure that post can qualify the "funniest post of the year 2019".

I'm sure the OP like most of us, has all the tools and a hoist needed to swap an engine out just sitting at home but is too lazy to do it. :rolleyes:

Everyone, stop with the DIY discussion. It's not helping OP, just dragging the thread offtopic.

OP, this is simply not going to be worth it in the end. I can only presume you bought your note for quite cheap, if so the best option is to just go again and buy something else. Engine swaps are inherently messy, and you don't know the condition of the replacement engine nor the rest of the car you've just bought. You've been stung here, but I think moving on is the best course of action.

Agreed , plus the engine is only one of a number of critical components on a car that have a mileage limited timespan, and from op's other threads it appears 330,000 km on a Note is end of life territory/scrap only.

I killed my dad's turboed Sierra's engine with some slightly enthusiastic driving back in 90's. Brother and myself lifted the heavy cast iron OHC block from the car using a birch tree trunk and rope after I had reduced the weight stripping down the Cosworth head and ancillaries from it. Those were the times. The next time I swapped an engine I invested in a crane though :-) As W211 says it's not rocket science but not suitable as a first project for a budding DIY hero either.

Old cars where easier to do swapping the engine is the easy bit, getting it going after is the hard bit. Modern cars are a pain that even some garages don't want to deal with. The risk of blowing the main ECU is the least of the potential problems when swapping modern engines.

Used ropes around my body, trolley jacks, tractors, a Peugeot 406 etc to remove and install engines where I had no access to a crane over the years. A bit of engineering to get to that level, but incomparable to aerospace engineering

You'd want to be a complete cabbage to suggest a newbie to DIY to complete an engine swap
