Nissan Almera Replacement Engines

The Nissan Almera evolved through two critical generations: T32 (2012-2019) with HR12DE/HR15DE/MR15DE engines and T33 (2019-present) featuring K12B/K15B powertrains. All HR15DE engines (T32, 2012-2019) suffered timing chain tensioner failures addressed in Service Bulletin NTB-15-032, while MR15DDT turbocharged variants share intercooler and boost control vulnerabilities regardless of trim level. The T33 generation adopted newer K-series engines with improved efficiency but inherited some valve train concerns from predecessors across all Almera S/SL models.

Nissan Almera Models & Engines Codes

The Almera series spans two generations with distinct engine families covering all trim levels from base 1.0L to performance DIG-T variants.

  • HR10A: 1.0L petrol (T32, 2012-2015) - Oil pump issues across all 1.0L variants
  • HR12DE: 1.2L petrol (T32, 2012-2016) - Timing chain wear in base Almera 1.2L models
  • HR15DE: 1.5L petrol (T32, 2012-2019) - Widespread timing chain tensioner failures
  • MR15DE: 1.5L petrol (T32, 2014-2019) - Valve wear issues across mid-range variants
  • MR15DDT: 1.5L turbo petrol (T32/T33, 2016-2022) - Turbo and intercooler problems
  • K12B: 1.2L petrol (T33, 2019-2025) - Timing chain stretch in newer T33 models
  • K15B: 1.5L petrol (T33, 2019-2025) - Valve train concerns across T33 variants

All T32 chassis (2012-2019) share identical engine mounting configurations regardless of engine choice, while T33 models (2019-present) feature updated mounting points for newer K-series engines.

Buy Used and Second-Hand Nissan Almera Engines
