Nissan Teana Experience

[Albeniz]

My year 2009 Teana J32 is also having the cracked dashboard issue.

Thinking of doing a cheap vinyl sticker wrap to work around this cosmetic issue.  Nothing major.

 

Does anyone know of a shop which provides such a service and what is roughly the price?

[Ghimchang]

Damn it, finally found a active Nissan Teana thread.

 

I just purchased a second hand Teana 2.5XV L33, 1st thing to mod is those halogen signal bulb and small bulb.

Other than TC, where do you guys send your Teanas for the servicing? Are there any workshops that specialise in this car or Nissans?

From what I remember, only the small bulbs, highbeam + foglight bulbs are normal bulbs.  You can change to 'whiter' lights if you want.  The lowbeam is Philip D2R 35W (Xenon HID) , no?

No, turn signal x 4, reverse x 2, license plate x 2, clearance light x 2 is all halogen, it doesn't include 'countless' for interior light, so this is a big project. The low beam should be D2S. Do u know about the high beam, is it H9? I saw the manual is 65W, only H9 is 65W and this size is very rare.

 

Still in process of ownership transfer, can't wait to get the car

Low beam light bulb: Philip D2R 35W (my record shows D2R, I also dunno the difference, Hahaha...)

Fog light bulb: H11 12V 55W

High beam light bulb: H9 12V 65W

 

Interior lights can change to LED not big issue, on the mirror light too small to find replacement.  Rear signal lights can chagned to Philips silver coated ones, so you dun see the orange colour.... That's about it.

Your Teana is which version?

Mine is L33, which is projector HID.

 

I google said D2S is for projector while D2R is for reflector (J32 Teana)

 

Signal can change to LED, however this will causing flasher to detect as no load and blink fast due to LED low power usage. May need to add external load to fool the flasher.

i search alot of Xtronics CVT reliability issue happened in US 5th gen Nissan Altima (= L33 teana) and even marked as 'avoid like a plague' label. I start to worry and doubt on my decision to purchase the 2nd hand 2.5XV recently. It clocked 80k now and i worry the CVT will die unexpectedly. But i seems can't find any relative failure reported in Asia forum so I hope it would last as a replacement CVT will need $4-5k.

My previous car was a nissan teana 2.5xv, owned it up to 200,000km before i sold it.

No issue with the cvt transmission until 200k km but i changed the cvt fluid every 50k km at tan chong. believe it helps.

Do check that your car mileage was not tempered with by the used car dealer.

My teana when sold 200k km, but dealer tuned it to 80k km when they placed it up for sale after taking over from me!

Yeah I know I maybe too worry for that. Not everyone would have the same issue and I know quite a lot of Teana actually more than 200k without issue. But how the things go in US worried me they even file a lawsuit to Nissan regarding the CVT issue. I'm not sure this is more pronounce in US since user are more particular or Asia user tends to keep quite even problem occur.

 

I do aware 2nd hand car dealer will temper car mileage but my car bought from direct owner without through 2nd hand car dealer, and it still have half year warranty from TC and with service record kept so the mileage confirm is not tempered.

 

Just hope for best but I do feel I drive the 'time bomb' with me now, so would like come here to get some confident and 'consolation perhaps.
