The Nissan Platina's Renault-sourced K4M 1.6L engine is generally robust but suffers from well-documented fuel system issues. Injector failure and running-rich symptoms dominate replacement enquiries for this grey-import model. Every rebuilt engine supplied through EngineMarket includes upgraded internal components designed to address the original failure...
Fuel Injector Failure
Most affected vehicles
Nissan Platina 1.6i Base, Comfort, Luxury (2002-2010, K4M-706/714/744)
Failure mileage range
85,000-110,000 km
Typical failure window
Root cause
Defective injection valves on cylinder 3 cause uneven fuel delivery, leading to rich running, power loss and eventual injector seizure.
Repair options & estimated costs (UK ranges)
| Repair tier | Dealer price | Specialist price | What it involves | Longevity / suitability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minor - Injector Cleaning/Testing | £350 - £550 | £220 - £380 | Remove, clean and flow-test injectors; replace seals if viable | Temporary fix; only suitable before catastrophic injector failure occurs |
| Intermediate - Single Injector Replacement | £650 - £950 | £420 - £680 | Replace faulty cylinder 3 injector with OEM-spec unit; recalibrate ECU | Viable if other injectors test within spec; documented repair cost £515 |
| Full Replacement - Rebuilt K4M Engine | £2,100 - £3,200 | £850 - £1,700 | Supply & fit rebuilt K4M engine with upgraded injectors, bench-tested, 12-month warranty | Recommended for high-mileage Platina or multiple injector failures |
Our recommendation
On a Nissan Platina valued at £1,500-£3,500, a single injector replacement at £420-£680 makes sense if the engine is otherwise healthy. For vehicles over 100,000 km with multiple symptoms, a rebuilt K4M unit offers better long-term value and eliminates recurrence risk.

The sole engine option for the Mexican-market Nissan Platina (2002-2010), this Renault-sourced K4M 1.6L 16-valve unit powered every variant from Base to Luxury trim. Known for adequate performance and simple maintenance, its main weakness lies in the fuel injection system rather than core mechanical design.
