2008 Nissan Sentra 1.3GX

[Densker]

Hello! 1st time ko mag post dito! Im new to this thread. I got my GX 1.3 A/T last June. So far satisfied naman ako. Nadrive ko na rin sa Pangasinan, bumabagyo pa nun, enjoy naman i-drive. FC di ko pa nacocompute, laging nawawala resibo.
Parang deisel nga lang yung tunog ng makina nya pag idle (after start ng engine) pero ok lang , parang mas gusto ko nga ung medyo maingay para marining ko sa loob kung bukas na yung engine.

btw XCS din gamit ko . ayos naman ang hatak.

i don't have that diesel engine sound.. have you gone past the 1K? mine is very quiet.. i can barely hear it kaya minsan i try starting it again, un pala naka-on na.

reason i asked about the 1k, or first PMS is that mine was not as quiet before my 1st PMS. after 5K PMS, tahimik na talaga cia even with radio off.

hope you can have your CASA have that checked unless you really prefer the diesel engine sound.

congrats sa new purchase! dami na naten dito!

Thanks badbadtz.carlo. Na-experience ko rin yun dati nung tahimik pa yung engine, nag squirk nung inistart ko.hehe Yun pla umaandar na. Nag start yata lumakas yung sound nung nag 500+ then after 1k pms ganun pa rin. pag-umandar na tumatahimik na rin sya. sige papa check ko next time. 1.7+k pa lang sa odo nya ngayon.

Dati pa balak ko na palagyan ng chin, magkano kaya difference ng price sa CASA and sa ibang vendor?

mga sir have you ever had a problem regarding your caliper pins/bolt?

mga sir have you ever had a problem regarding your caliper pins/bolt?

Ako sir! Nightmare ko to dati..Mine was GX 06. As in the first day na pagkakakuha ng unit napansin ko agad yung kalansing sound sa harap tsaka yung Tok sound pag may mga maliliit na potholes. Gusto ko na nga isoli auto ko dati e kasi nawalan na ako ng gana dati kasi ang ginagawa nila is nilalagyan lang ng lubricant yung caliper/bolt ata un tapos nawawala naman siya, kaya lang after few weeks or months bumamalik yung sakit niya. Pero may isang mechanic dun na nakaayos,so far up to now di na siya bumalik..Sabi nila naging issue daw yun ng n16 model 04 to 05, pero na resolve na daw. Not sure kung yung ibang n16 tsikoteers na kakabili lang ng sentra recently is nakaka-experience ng ganito. Nagka issue yung sentra dahil sa acquisition with Yulon..Pumangit quality ng underchassis nila dahil dun. Yung akin 3 times na ata napalitan ng Wheel bearings..

2 relatives own n16 Gen2. one is an 04 GS, 2nd is 06 GSX. i have an 08 GX. didn't experience these issues. kahit ung kanila. first and only time i heard the "Tok" was when i used to steer too hard. pag sagad na, i hear the Tok. took it back sa CASA nung 1K PMS, then never heard it again. first birthday ng car ko kahapon.. very happy with it! just finished my 10K PMS.. sarap ng hinga ng makina ulet!

i had the same problem in my 05 unit but since it had a 3 year warranty hindi ko tiniggilan ang nissan quezon ave until they fixed it perfectly. im happy with this vehicle after 65000kms of trouble free driving. my a/t consumption is 8 kms per liter within metro manila. its not a head turner nor is it an ugly duckling. the aircon is still super cool. apart from that little caliper problem, the suspension is still almost as good as the day i got it. the only "modification" i did was to replace the horns with fiamms in 05. they are a superbly loud and durable pair.


this is definitely a good car.

i agree! sobrang tahimik ng makina! mine has clocked nearly 70k and it is still absolutely quiet

Oh, pwede pala talaga 95 octane sa GX? Kasi dati kami nagkarga ng Shell Premium months ako tapos yun nagkaproblema yung MAF sensor sabi ni SA most likely the 95 octane is the reason. Since then, Silver Techron nalang lagi at ayos naman.
