Pls guys. I'm beginning to see a lot of deterioration on my car engine Nissan Maxima 2004 V6.

I intend 2 change it.
1st I dont really no how much such engine cost here in Lagos. Also, I really dont no ao relable are these engines. Will someone know the mileage on them to avoid buying some used up engine?

People are also talking about full and half engine. How much are the cost of these two for Nissan Maxima 2004 model ? And which is better to buy?

Is there any other thing I need 2 know before and after buying the engine.

Pls people I need your input on this .

Thanks .

Dont think there is a way of knowing the mileage covered by the used engines available in our markets, but it is a fifty fifty situation. Just buy the engine forget about half etc. It is plug and play. You can also go with a mechanic who will test the compression via some crude way.

The nissan maxima vq35 engine is actually very strong. what is wrong with yours? Hope it is actually bad

Bros,

Blue smoke is never a good sign in any engine...and like spaceangel said, the VQ engine you have is 'supposed' to be a very good and reliable performer.

That said, if you can afford it...a full engine is always better.

However, I will not advice you to go to Ladipo on your own...except you get money wey you wan dash omo-ibo

If you have a good and trustworthy mechanic, get him to source for it for you then go with him to see it before you conclude and pay.

I hope you get it sorted out bro!

Thanks rockiedink.

This is a very good advice.
