Reconditioned Nissan Micra 1.5 dCi Engine

The K9K in the Micra 1.5 dCi tends to fail at the injectors and cylinder head before the block itself gives way

Between 2003 and 2010, the Micra 1.5 dCi was fitted with five variants of the K9K: K9K700, K9K702, K9K704, K9K710 and K9K790. These codes are not casually interchangeable: power output, engine management and ancillary equipment differ from one version to the next. The K9K in this vehicle is well known for head gasket issues and a susceptibility to carbon build-up caused by short urban journeys — a common usage pattern for a city car of this size. The result is that the block itself can end up damaged following an undetected overheating episode. At that point, replacing the bare engine becomes necessary, and that is the only option available here.

Frequently asked questions

Is a engine for this Nissan model in stock?

We currently list 5 references reconditioned for this model. Availability depends on the exact engine: enter your number plate to confirm stock in real time, or request an online quote.

How can I be sure it is compatible with my Nissan?

Compatibility depends on the engine / gearbox code, not just the model. The most reliable way is your number plate or registration document: our advisers confirm the right engine for your vehicle before you order.

Do I need to send back my old unit?

Yes, that is the principle of an exchange unit: you return your old engine (the core), which we recondition in turn. We arrange transport both ways, so you don't have to handle any logistics.

How long does it take to receive the engine for my Nissan?

Once compatibility is confirmed and depending on the availability of the reference, the part leaves our workshop ready to fit, delivered throughout France and Europe, with payment in instalments available (up to 10 payments).
