Hello to all members :)
 
I am from Slovenia and I have just signed, in order to see, IF others have/had the same problem with the aquisition of a used Primera. My (beautiful, confortable) car was bought beginning 2011, with 96.000 miles under and after a month I've noticed that my engine likes to drink. Oil of course. As some of you might have encountered this problem with your car, I am curious to get an answer if this is a factory ''malware'' or what...... The primera has a 1.8 motor, year 2002.
My mechanic did something (donno what, I know that it was cheap) already in March and  after that, it didn't drink oil (burn) so quickly, but in August  (after 20.000 km= cca 12.000 miles) it started to drink 1 litre (1,76 pint) per 1000 km (621,37 miles).
Now,....the princess Primera is guarding my mechanic's garage, probably waiting for a ''new'' heart....used engine...
...and ...have bought this ''old'' Primera, because as an happy owner of my old Nissan, I was fed up of it after 18 years...  the old one had a flawless motor.
I am just in shock...

Welcome to NPOC

Sounds like you bought the car with the problem already there

yes, I bought the car with the problem already there. When they opened the engine, they told me two possibilities of why this happened: much more miles than shown or reheated engine few times.
At least I got good news :) i will get another engine.
