2002 Nissan Sentra SER Spec V review from North America
"The car is OK, but nothing beats a Honda"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The problem with the RATTLING is the timing chain tension. There is a part call a timing chain tension. You have one on the bottom and one on the top. I needed to change the one on the top and the sound is gone. No rattle on start up or at 2000rpms.
Head gasket at 113000.
General comments?
The car is OK, but I will go back to Honda.
