Are you experiencing issues with your Nissan Primastar's engine? Over my 15 years as a master tech mechanic, I've seen a fair share of engine troubles, particularly with models from 2001 to 2014. Let's explore the common causes and symptoms, and discuss potential repair processes for a Nissan Primastar (2001 to 2014) reconditioned engine.
The Nissan Primastar from the 2001 to 2014 period can often run into problems that affect performance. Typical signs indicating engine distress include unusual noises, loss of power, excessive smoke from the tailpipe, and an increase in oil consumption or leakages. If you notice your vehicle struggling to start or an engine light flashing on your dashboard, these could also be indicators of deeper issues.
Several factors can lead to engine problems in these models. It could be due to age-related wear and tear, poor maintenance, or even a previous owner's misuse. Specific issues might include blown head gaskets, worn piston rings, or damaged cylinders, all of which significantly impact engine performance.
Reconditioning a Nissan Primastar’s engine involves thoroughly examining and cleaning all components before replacing damaged parts with new or remanufactured components. It often includes replacing bearings, seals, gaskets, and sometimes more substantial parts such as the camshaft or pistons. This process can be both time-consuming and costly, especially if extensive repairs are required.
Given the potential complexity and expense of reconditioning an engine, you might wonder if it's worth the hassle. Why not avoid the uncertainty and consider selling your Nissan Primastar to Vandervan? Selling your van is straightforward, and we provide a rapid, hassle-free service.

Yes, you can indeed sell your financed van with vandervan even if it's under a Hire Purchase (HP) or Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) agreement.
If you decide to sell your financed van, the initial step is to obtain a 'settlement figure' from your lender, which you can usually find in a settlement letter. Following that, get a valuation for your van.
Our team will walk you through the settlement process.
We do not charge any fees. There are no admin charges or anything like that. Just your van, your money, instantly.
By selling your van through our service, you join a robust network of over 4,000 verified dealers.
This can often result in a more favourable price compared to part exchange, where you might find yourself confined to a single dealer’s assessment, which might not accurately represent the real market value of your van.
Part exchanges often result in less favourable outcomes for sellers, particularly if the dealer is not intending to retail your van and plans to pass it along instead.

Fortunately, we buy any van even if they do not have a logbook, although it is advantageous if you have a full V5 Logbook, or at least the green New Keeper Slip.
It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
