Nissan Ichi Engine ReplacementCompare Prices & Save

"Nissan Ichi" is a supplier codename for Nissan's B/C platform compact cars, not a consumer model. It covers Note E11, Cube Z11/Z12, Micra K12/K13, Tiida C11, Juke F15 and Qashqai J10 built 2002-2019.

• Ichi is industry jargon, not a badge you'll find on a UK Nissan
• Most common Ichi vehicles: Note E11, Cube Z11, Juke F15
• Engine codes HR15DE, HR16DE, K9K define compatibility, not model name
• Enter your registration to verify your exact Ichi variant instantly

Used Nissan Ichi engines start from £395, rebuilt units from £995, and supply & fit packages from £795. HR15DE/HR16DE petrol engines are typically cheaper than K9K diesel replacements.

• Used HR15DE: £395-£695 supply only
• Rebuilt HR16DE with upgraded chain: £995-£1,295
• K9K diesel rebuilt: £1,095-£1,395 due to injector complexity
• Labour for supply & fit typically adds £350-£550

Yes, if your Note, Cube or Juke is rust-free and under £3,000 value. A rebuilt HR engine from £995 often makes more sense than scrapping a serviceable chassis.

• Ichi platform cars typically worth £1,500-£4,000 in good condition
• Rebuilt engine cost (£995-£1,495) is often less than car value
• Timing chain failure is repairable; seized engines may not be
• Check bodywork for rust before committing to engine replacement

HR series engines (HR15DE, HR16DE, HR12DE) have a factory tensioner design that allows chain stretch under load, causing rattling noise and eventual jump at 50k-80k miles.

• Timing chain stretch is a known design flaw on HR engines
• Rattling on cold start is the first warning sign
• Rebuilt HR engines include upgraded tensioner components
• Prevention is cheaper than repair once chain has jumped

Only if the engine codes match exactly. A Note HR15DE will fit a Cube Z11 HR15DE, but not a Juke HR16DE due to different mounting points and ECU calibration.

• Engine code (HR15DE, HR16DE, K9K) matters more than model name
• HR15DE and HR16DE are not interchangeable despite similar design
• CVT automatic models require specific flex plate compatibility
• Use our registration checker to verify exact compatibility

Supply-only engine delivery typically takes 1-3 days for HR15DE/HR16DE units. Full supply & fit replacement takes 1 day for petrol HR engines, 2 days for K9K diesel due to injector calibration.

• Used HR engines often available for next-day delivery
• Rebuilt engines may require 2-3 days build time
• Mobile fitting available for Note/Cube/Micra in most UK areas
• CVT automatic models require post-fit calibration time

Yes. Used engines typically include 3-6 month warranty. Rebuilt and reconditioned units carry minimum 12-month unlimited mileage warranty covering timing chain and major components.

• 12-month warranty standard on rebuilt HR/K9K engines
• Warranty specifically covers timing chain and tensioner on HR engines
• K9K rebuilt engines include injector seal warranty
• Always confirm exact warranty terms with your chosen supplier

The CR14DE 1.4L petrol in early Micra K12 is simplest and most robust, but aging. Among common engines, well-maintained HR16DE with upgraded timing chain offers best balance of reliability and availability.

• CR14DE is simple but rare now; parts availability declining
• HR16DE benefits from minor tensioner updates over HR15DE
• K9K diesel is economical but injector complexity adds failure points
• Regular oil changes are critical for HR series longevity

No. A rattling HR engine indicates advanced chain stretch; continued driving risks chain jump, valve damage and complete engine seizure. Stop driving and arrange replacement immediately.

• Timing chain rattle means tensioner has failed to maintain tension
• Chain jump can bend valves, requiring head repair or full replacement
• Cost of repair escalates dramatically once secondary damage occurs
• Arrange engine replacement before driving further
