200K Miles

[bigdaddychia]

3 1/2 YearsNumerous oil changes, transmission oil, air filter, and pcv changesone set front padsone set rear shoes3 sets of head light and 4 sets of tail light bulbsone set front parking light bulbone catalytic convertorone set of plugs(second set coming soon)one drive belt2 02 sensorsone intake and exhaust manifold gasket(might as well while I had them off)6 sets of tires3 batteries(first one lasted 120K miles)one alternator

Future plans. Keep driving it. Replace the seat belt(part u latch into)At some point do a water pump and timing chain. Figure out why my SRS light is on after I installed a different cd player and ipod adapter.

Well, congratz!!

As far as the srs light, you probably unplugged the airbag light when installing your radio...

You MIGHT have to get it reset at the dealer.

well done, that's a cheap list of things for 200k.

Is it a CVT?

[br4dysays]

Is it a CVT?

i think i remember him saying it was a plain 4 speed auto

[versa-medic]

Not too bad at all. What do you do to put so much heavy driving on your car?

200K is like a badge of honor for a car, I remember when my Honda turned over. My friends and I had a party for it, lol.

[bigdaddychia]

Yeah its just an auto. And I work for http://www.popalock.com and we use our own cars. I chose a brand I trust and glad that I did.

[superskunk]

wow thats really cool! my car is the same age as yours and only has 36K on it...

[Cash_22]

Wow. I hope mine reaches that milestone. Those synthetics saved you money on fluid changes then.

srs light reset is turn the ignition on press accelerator pedal like 5 times key of key on and that resets the light. i watched the guy at best buy do it after he installed the new cd player in my 07V.

[versa071979]

when you say pcv is there an actual valve to change or is there a hose

Tried it last night and it didnt seem to work.

The PCV is on the left side of the valve cover if ur looking at the engine.

[versa071979]

whats the valve look like and do you have to take the cover off to see it

[srellim234]

Congrats on the 200k. Great accomplishment and shows you take care of your car.

The airbag light can be reset with an off-on-off with they key type of sequence. I don't remember exactly how to do it. The thread that had the directions seems to have been purged. I thought it should have been stickied since it's a common problem with people putting decks in their Versa because I sure didn't know you weren't supposed to unplug that light.

Edit: Google brought up an old Nico Versa thread with the instructions. This should be stickied!!

1. Turn the key from off to on.

2. Watch the airbag light closely. It will stay on for a few secs. and then as soon as it blinks off (the start of the flashing), turn the key off instantly.

3. Count to 5 (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi . . . .)

4. Repeat steps 1-3 two more times until you have done the cycle three times.

5. Now turn the key on and watch the light. It will start blinking in a different, slower manner. This is diagnostic mode. You can watch this for a little while, no hurry.

6. Now turn the key off again, Count to 5 like in step 3 again, and turn back on. If the procedure worked, the airbag light will not be flashing.

wow! Nice to see it turn over to 200k. =D

[bigdaddychia]

That airbag instructions worked. Its off now.

[superskunk]

the air bag trick works! thanks! i wonder how to go about doing this on a '09 Alttima Coupe with push button start?

[VersaSprt]

nice to hear it still running good @200miles.. Doing my first auto transmission oil chg non cvt do you know if you are using oem auto trans labelled K or D 2 different dealership gave conflicting info

[bigdaddychia]

I used what ever oil at the autoparts store said for nissan matic J

[BWG]

OMG I gotta try this airbag light trick! Mine has flashed since 500 miles because I took the seat out to measure for custom subs. Disconnected the airbag sensor in the seat then re-connected it.

[BWG]

Wow it did work!! I was hoping the light would just burn out eventually lol

[08versailles]

Congratulations Scott!
Keep rollin!
What would you do different for your next Versa?
Have you same success with other Nissans?

Only thing different I would do is a get a manual and not use it for work. As for other nissans I put 70k miles on a 2001 Xterra in 15 months with only a u joint and auto hub failing but I also wheeled it. I have owned A spec V, 2005 Xterra also but didnt put as many miles as they werent ever used for work. I have an 06 Quest now qith 31k Miles on it that I plan on running to the ground but I a wheel bearing go bad on it already. But I know thats common.

Wow it did work!! I was hoping the light would just burn out eventually lol

From what I've heard the passenger airbag WILL NOT DEPLOY if the light is on. The car does not think there is an airbag left. That's what the dealership told me anyways. They also said it was 60$ to reset it lmao. But yeah if anyone has the light flashing make sure to do these steps to reset it it's very easy and you can never be too careful when it comes to safety.

I'm realllly not sure about this, but doesn't your cars entire computer reset if you just remove the battery for like an hour? I did that and everyything got reset... minus my mileage gauge of course lol.
