Does the VERSA in the states has Diesel version as well?

[tweety73]

Does the Versa that sold in the US has a Diesel version like in Europe , ? as far as I know the Diesel engine is manufacturer by Renault , has 110HP with fantastic 44 MPG

[Ever Victorious]

sadly, no. I would have snapped up a Diesel V in a heartbeat if they offered one.

I second what EV says. The only diesel coming to the states is for the 09 Maxima which is made by Renault. Maybe in a few years they will put the smaller diesels in the Versa models.

I wish!

now that would be an engine swap I'd like to try.

Versa CVT with a Diesel would be sweet

I would of bought one to and slapped a bio des conversion kit on it and asked the resturant next to my work if I could suck their gigantic greese thing dry every month.. they have a guy who picks it up and i bet they pay him for it @_@; I sucked all the greese out of that thing every month id have enough to last me a couple of years lol

I presume by "biodiesel conversion kit" you are referring to some sort of refining equipment to turn that WVO (waste vegetable oil) into useable biodiesel.

because modern Diesel engines can run biodiesel with no modifications.

However, it's best to run a biodiesel blend (like B20) in the winter because straight biodiesel or WVO will turn into gel in your gas tank during the winter.

The k9k Diesel engine can't run on BIO-Diesel (at least according to book)

you can download an english version of the European TIIDA here http://www.nissanservice.co.il...7.pdf

I'm still considering replacing my TIIDA to Megane 1.5 Diesel with M/T (no TIIDA with M/T here in Israel )

Best

Seems to me that would explain why the engine isn't sold in the US then.

I would have too! But alas, only Mercedes & VW have them here in North America. Everywhere else in the world you can get diesels in cars & small trucks. Nissan Frontier 4WD, for example. I get to see many different types when I visit my inlaws in Brasil. And don't forget alcohol fuel as well!

Unfortunately America is still fascinated with having a SUV or truck pulling a 20,000 lb 50-foot trailer @ 90 miles an hour...

And my favorite, propane. Where the tank is in the trunk and they make you get out of the car before they fill up. But then everyone stands right next to it, haha.
