About this manual Its aim The aim of this manual is to help you get the best value from your vehicle. It can do so in several ways. It can help you decide what work must be done (even should you choose to get it done by a garage), provide information on routine maintenance and servicing, and give a logical course of action and diagnosis when random faults occur. However, it is hoped that you will use the manual by tackling the work yourself. On simpler jobs it may even be quicker than booking the car into a garage and going there twice, to leave and collect it. Perhaps most important, a lot of money can be saved by avoiding the costs a garage must charge to cover its labour and overheads. The manual has drawings and descriptions to show the function of the various components so that their layout can be understood. Then the tasks are described and photographed in a step-by-step sequence so that even a novice can do the work.

[ts arrangement The manual is divided into thirteen Chapters, logical sub-division of the vehicle. The Chapters are Sections, numbered with single figures, eg 5; and paragraphs (or sub-sections), with decimal numbers the Section they are in, eg 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 etc.

Introduction The Nissan

Micra was

1983, and

car class.

The range of models was revised in June 1985, when the SGL was added; mechanically similar to the preceding L, DX and GL models, but with higher trim level. Other cosmetic changes were also made

It is freely illustrated, especially in those parts where there is a detailed sequence of operations to be carried out. There are two forms of illustration: figures and photographs. The figures are numbered in sequence with decimal numbers, according to their position in the Chapter — eg Fig. 6.4 is the fourth drawing/illustration in Chapter 6. Photographs carry the same number (either individually or in related groups) as the Section or sub-section to which they relate. There is an alphabetical index at the back of the manual as well as a contents list at the front. Each Chapter is also preceded by its own individual contents list. References to the ‘left’ or ‘right’ of the vehicle are in the sense of a person in the driver's seat facing forwards. Unless otherwise stated, nuts and bolts are removed by turning anti-clockwise, and tightened by turning clockwise. Vehicle manufacturers continually make changes to specifications and recommendations, and these, when notified, are incorporated into our manuals at the earliest opportunity. Whilst every care is taken to ensure that the information in this manual is correct, no liability can be accepted by the authors or publishers for loss, damage or injury caused by any errors in, or omissions from, the information given.

at this time, to update the appearance

of the model.

In February 1986, Nissan introduced the Colette, with a high level

with the timing belt removed do not turn the crankshaft or

Refitting 4 Clean both mating surfaces thoroughly, ensuring all traces of old gasket are removed. 5 Smear a little grease or petroleum jelly on the mating surface of the water pump, then position a new paper gasket in place on it. 6 Fit the pump in place on the cylinder block and fit and tighten the five securing bolts to the specified torque (photo), These bolts must be fitted using sealing compound on their threads or water leaks will be apparent after assembly. 7 Refit the timing belt covers, crankshaft pulley, alternator and drivebelt, and the power steering and air conditioning drive belts as necessary. 8 Tension the drivebelts as described in Section 9. 9 Fill the cooling systern on completion, run the engine and check for leaks.

Drivebelts ~ removal, fitting and adjustment

1 An alternator is fitted to all models, driven by belt from the crankshaft pulley, Some models may also have power steering and air conditioning units fitted, and these too are driven by belt from the crankshaft pulley, 2 Belts should be checked for cracking, fraying, general wear and oil contamination and renewed as necessary, Drivebelts should not touch the bottorn of the groove of the pulley in which they run.

Alternator drivebelt 3 Slacken the alternator mounting and adjuster link bolts and push the alternator in sufficiently to allow the belt to be slipped off its pulleys. 4 Fit anew belt and tension it to the values given in the Specification (photo), The figures given measure the required deflection of the belt, along its longest run, under moderate thumb pressure.

Power steering drivebelt 5 Slacken the power steering pump mounting bolts and the bolt on the adjuster link and push the pump in sufficiently to allow the belt to be slipped off its pulleys, Fit a new belt and tension it, as described in paragraph 4,

Air conditioning belt 6 Where an air conditioning unit is fitted, then the drivebelt arrangement is different from those without it, 7 The arrangement is as shown in Fig, 2.4 and the belt is removed by slackening off the idler pulley adjusting bolt until the belt can be removed, 8 The belt is tensioned by tightening the idler pulley adjusting bolt, as described in paragraph 4,

10 Coolant temperature switch eee

1 Drain the system sufficiently to allow the temperature transmitter switch to be removed without loss of coolant, 2 Testing requires special electrical meters, and should be left to your dealer or auto-electrician, 3 Before removing a switch which is suspected of malfunction,
