Thanks for the reply. According to my dealer, Nissan did not issue credit-card plastic keys, that was a Ford thing. I have a second "Nissan" labeled key...

The end of the 7/70 coverage for the engine replacement on my 96 Villager is fast aproaching. I hoped to have the NHTSA bulletin to arm myself with before...
I just ordered a CD changer for our 99 Quest last night from autotoys.com. It was listed as a Ford FDN changer and is supposed to be compatible with the radio...
No. The '93 had one key -- it looks like a 80's-90's Ford ignition key (all metal, square head). No valet key as far as I know. As far as a plastic rescue key,...
If it opens every door & the glove box, it's not a valet key. Typically a valet key only works the door & ignition, & not the trunk or glove box. Since the ...

Hey Greg, I just changed the factory radio on my '96 Quest,,, you can basically get any size radio, but you'll have to buy a kit if you get one that is not a...
Piston slap won't usually cause mechanical problems. It will get worse over time but won't cause the engine to self destruct. It's more of an asthetic conern....
Piston slap does not come and go. Once the pistons are loose enough to slap they stay that way. Does your engine fall in the serial number group with the...
Hello Group, Yes, the muffler chain here in the Northwest " Meineke " also gave me a ONE piece replacement system. As I also posted....when the resonator went...
Well, actually it can come and go. On mine, it made noise only at idle when hot. No noise above idle or when cold. I think a lot of it depends on the design of...
Date: 10.02.02 Hello Group, Has anyone out there....possible replaced their squeaking engine idler pulley themselves?? My Nissan parts counter guy....quotes...
Well, synthetic oil does a few things that might help prevent lifter noise in the first place, but I don't know if it will help once the lifters have already...
It has been quite an experience for my wife and myself over the past month or so... We "won" an Ebay auction for a 1996 Villager and then had to fly to Texas...
Sounds like a nightmare. Good advice to the rest of us, though. Now, just case you can't get any redress from the dealer, we need to figure out how to fix this...
Hi, There was a great article in Consumers Reports on selling "written off" vehicles. I'll try to find the month that this article ran. Jan de Groot 93...
What a Problem... I hope you can make something to report this problem to the proper autorithies. But in the mid point, regarding the Air bag ligth on your...
Yes. I would contact the Texas attorney general's office. I don't believe its legal to resell a flood-damaged vehicle unless it has a salvage title. I assume...
Sounds to me like "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". I am not sure what a '96 goes for these days but $2500 sound better than the norm if the...
I agree, I do believe there is a law about re-selling vehicles that have been flooded. The problem is trying to prove that the dealer knew it was flooded....
Hello; My 1997 Villager with 129kkm has been having periodic vibration and brake problems. Recently had it at the dealer to inspect front end, brakes and tires...
If you pump the brakes the pedal will get hard -- this is normal. However, if you apply the brakes once at speed and the pedal is hard you have a problem....

It may well be lifter noise. I've heard lifter noise before and it definitely sounds like lifter noise. I've never heard piston slap noise before but just...
Hello Group, I have a perplexing situation with the van now that the head has been replaced. I picked it up today, and within 3 miles, the temp gauge climbed...
Hello Dan, I'm sorry to hear of the bad experience that you've had with the ebay villager, I dont mean to sound like an outhouse attorney, but it sounds like...
Too many damned trees there, but the weather is nice and the off-shore fishing is better than Texas. I was thinking a clean '93 with 100k typically sold for...
An air pocket or even a 'sticky' thermostat can cause it from opening. I would have replaced the thermostat also. The only thing that I would be concerned...
