200k km in a 2012 versa for example is not THAT much for people that travel a lot in highway.
a friend of mine that works as an airplane mechanic travels 180-200km a day (he does not have a nissan, has a diesel peugeot)
in my case i only travel 15-30km a day or less.
i really dont know if is true or not, thats what dealers tech told me about the outcome of this fix.
mine has taken so long because they had run out of some internals and factory was not sending the parts, obviously they have run out because they have done many overhauls.
also probably when they told me "this is the first time we hear this noise" that was a lie and probably they had been doing overhauls on these engines since 2 or 3 years ago.
here in forum almost every member was told "the first time" thing, which was proven is not true.
the guy that had his engine blown said to them that some times he used to hear some strange noise, but since the car was runing good did not reprot the problem, some day was cruising and bang!!!! thrown rod, like the guy in mexico, thank god they did not crash against anything/anybody.
in any case, for those forum members that still dont have the problem fixed, keep pushing for a good fix.
i will share a video asap as i have the car back.
PS. impul, by overhaul i dont mean short block replaced, i mean replacing all internals, crank, bearings, pistons, rods, rings, etc with original block, thats the fix nissan suggest for this issue, this allows the techs to verify right clearence between bearings and crank, so the rod knock hopefully will be gone, installing a new engine is a lottery.
the guy in mexico whose engine throw a rod had to wait more than 2 month for the factory to send a short block, and car was out of warranty so they were earning good money with that sale, so i am not surprised with this delay in getting the parts.
also in the maxima forum some members had same delay with their new engines.
