DatsunNissanSentra Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Howdy Y'all I thought I'd share my awesome little car that is sadly broken now. It's a 4 Cylinder Diesel coupled to a 4 Speed Manual transmission. Sadly no AC which sucks in Tucson. I had two friends drive from San Jose to Seattle to pick it up for me and drive it back to San Jose. Then I flew to San Jose and drove it home to Tucson. It's been being used by my parents after their Volvo quit on them but they managed to kill it last week. I also had a 83 Volvo in the past that I took on a cross-country trip to Rally it from New York to New Orleans. 1 Quote Link to comment

DatsunNissanSentra Posted September 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Here's a nice little video of me communting in the Sentra. Click the photo to see a video. It makes a fine boat! The electronics didn't like it much, But since it's a Diesel I don't really need them that much ;) I wish the speedo was clear enough to read, She's got over 300K on her. 1 Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 dude thats awesome. wait why is it broken? Quote Link to comment
DatsunNissanSentra Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I hope to find out later this week, It's not starting, It's cranking faster than normal with less resistance. My friend thinks it could be a broken or jumped pump timing belt so we'll be taking the covers off both ends of the engine and seeing what's wrong. Quote Link to comment
DatsunNissanSentra Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Looks like the waterpump quit and snapped the timing belt :( Hopefully no damage occured to the rest of the engine but it looks like I'm going to be pulling the engine out to fix it. Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 oh shit, that could be bad, the diesel has 22:1 compression I think, I dont know if that means its interference or not.....fingers crossed.... Quote Link to comment
DatsunNissanSentra Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 According to google searches the CD17 engine is Interference :( Quote Link to comment

Leadpaw Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 yep its interference. my sentra used to have a cd17 and it broke its timing belt once. Bent 4 valves :(. Quote Link to comment
mhub91 Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Bent valves are ok. It's when those bent valves penetrate pistons or chip away at the head. Hope for the best on this one! Quote Link to comment
