SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
Most of these incidents can be repaired by adjusting, securing or insulating the item(s) or component(s) caus-
ing the noise.
SUNROOF/HEADLINING
Noises in the sunroof/headlining area can often be traced to one of the following:
1. Sunroof lid, rail, linkage or seals making a rattle or light knocking noise
2. Sun visor shaft shaking in the holder
3. Front or rear windshield touching headliner and squeaking
Again, pressing on the components to stop the noise while duplicating the conditions can isolate most of these
incidents. Repairs usually consist of insulating with felt cloth tape.
OVERHEAD CONSOLE (FRONT AND REAR)
Overhead console noises are often caused by the console panel clips not being engaged correctly. Most of
these incidents are repaired by pushing up on the console at the clip locations until the clips engage.
In addition look for:
1. Loose harness or harness connectors.
2. Front console map/reading lamp lense loose.
3. Loose screws at console attachment points.
SEATS
When isolating seat noise it's important to note the position the seat is in and the load placed on the seat when
the noise is present. These conditions should be duplicated when verifying and isolating the cause of the
noise.
Cause of seat noise include:
1. Headrest rods and holder
2. A squeak between the seat pad cushion and frame
3. The rear seatback lock and bracket
These noises can be isolated by moving or pressing on the suspected components while duplicating the con-
ditions under which the noise occurs. Most of these incidents can be repaired by repositioning the component
or applying urethane tape to the contact area.
UNDERHOOD
Some interior noise may be caused by components under the hood or on the engine wall. The noise is then
transmitted into the passenger compartment.
Causes of transmitted underhood noise include:
1. Any component mounted to the engine wall
2. Components that pass through the engine wall
3. Engine wall mounts and connectors
4. Loose radiator mounting pins
5. Hood bumpers out of adjustment
6. Hood striker out of adjustment
These noises can be difficult to isolate since they cannot be reached from the interior of the vehicle. The best
method is to secure, move or insulate one component at a time and test drive the vehicle. Also, engine RPM
or load can be changed to isolate the noise. Repairs can usually be made by moving, adjusting, securing, or
insulating the component causing the noise.

CYLINDER HEAD
• Check if the contact area band is continuous all around the circum-
ference.
• If not, grind to adjust valve fitting and check again. If the contacting
surface still has NG conditions even after the re-check, replace
valve seat.
VALVE SEAT REPLACEMENT
When valve seat is removed, replace with oversized [0.5 mm (0.020 in)] valve seat.
1. Bore out old seat until it collapses. Boring should not continue beyond the bottom face of the seat recess
in cylinder head. Set the machine depth stop to ensure this. Refer to EM-104, "
Standard and Limit".
2. Ream cylinder head (1) recess diameter for service valve seat.
• Be sure to ream in circles concentric to the valve guide center.
This will enable valve seat to fit correctly.
3. Heat cylinder head to 110° to 130°C (230° to 266°F) by soaking
in heated oil (A).
4. Provide valve seats cooled well with dry ice. Press-fit valve seat into cylinder head.
CAUTION:
• Never touch cold valve seats directly.
• Cylinder head contains heat, when working, wear protective equipment to avoid getting burned.
5. Using valve seat cutter set or valve seat grinder, finish valve
seat to the specified dimensions. For dimensions, refer to EM-
104, "Standard and Limit".
CAUTION:
When using valve seat cutter, firmly grip the cutter handle
with both hands. Then, press on the contacting surface all
around the circumference to cut in a single drive. Improper
pressure on with the cutter or cutting many different times
may result in stage valve seat.
6. Using compound, grind to adjust valve fitting.
7. Check again for normal contact. Follow the "VALVE SEAT CONTACT" procedure.

• Match the stamped cylinder number marks (C) on connecting
rod with those on connecting rod cap to install.
23. Tighten connecting rod bolt with the following procedure:
CAUTION:
• Make sure that there is no gap in the thrust surface (A) of
the joint between connecting rod (1) and connecting rod
bearing cap (2) and that these parts are in the correct
position. And then, tighten the connecting rod bolts.
• If the connecting rod bolts are reused, measure the outer
diameter. Refer to EM-93, "
Inspection After Disassembly".
24. Apply new engine oil to the threads and seats of connecting rod
bolts.
25. Tighten bolts in three steps
• After tightening connecting rod bolt, make sure that crankshaft rotates smoothly.
• Check the connecting rod side clearance. Refer to EM-93, "
Inspection After Disassembly".

of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owners can perform
checks and inspections themselves or they can have their NISSAN dealers do them.
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified.
INSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when performing periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle,
etc.

to a long distance trip. Adjust to the specified pressure if necessary. Check care-
fully for damage, cuts or excessive wear.WT-25, "

Wheel alignment and
balanceIf the vehicle pulls to either side while driving on a straight and level road, or if
you detect uneven or abnormal tire wear, there may be a need for wheel align-
ment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway speeds, wheel bal-
ancing may be needed.FSU-6, "Wheel Align-
ment Inspection" and

Doors and engine
hoodCheck that all doors and the engine hood operate smoothly as well as the trunk
lid and back hatch. Also make sure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate if nec-
essary. Make sure that the secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when
the primary latch is released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check lubrica-
tion frequently.MA-27, "
