It's time to talk about one fresh naturally aspirated engine, which is installed on a number of Lada, Renault and Nissan cars. Of course, we will talk about the HR16DE.
The warm relationship between Nissan and Renault has led to the creation of several common platforms and internal combustion engines. And the motor, which we will talk about today, is also one of them. HR16DE began to be produced in 2005 and is preferably installed on Nissan products. But then it appeared on Renault models, but there it was labeled as H4M. And only in 2022 this power unit began to be installed on Lada cars: XRay and Vesta models. The internal combustion engine has a distinctive feature - the intake manifold lying on it like a decorative cover.
The engine is created on the basis of a light-alloy cylinder block with cast iron liners, and the timing drive uses a chain. There are no hydraulic compensators, but this is typical for many engines from the “Land of the Rising Sun”. Depending on the type, the motor may have one or a pair of phase shifters. Some versions with one phase shifter also have a USR system. It is noteworthy that the axis of the crankshaft is shifted relative to the centers of the cylinders, thus reducing friction losses during operation.
We advise you to visit our YouTube channel, where we have prepared for you a detailed analysis of the 1.6 engine (HR16DE), dismantled from a Nissan Qashqai.
Problem 5. AI-92 is allowed, but not for everyone
Some vehicles with H4M are allowed to use AI-92. But gasoline with insufficient octane number is dangerous under severe operating conditions! It’s one thing to “carry” light, single-wheel drive Logans or Vestas, and quite another thing to carry crossovers, and even all-wheel drive ones.
The engine can be combined with a CVT (pictured), automatic and manual transmissions. The engine power on different cars, depending on the firmware of the control unit, is 110–117 hp.

Cause:
the manufacturer adapts to market demands. For many car enthusiasts, the ability to fill the 92nd is very important.
How to fight?
Throttle valve
Engines with a significant mileage may have problems starting in sub-zero temperatures. This is quite easy to avoid; just clean the throttle valve from dirt.
Let’s also add that oil deposits in the intake and throttle body arise from the VCG system. And the more and faster the oil deposit appears after cleaning, the greater the wear of the cylinders, or even the mobility of the piston rings may be impaired.
Are you looking for a new throttle body for a Nissan engine, or a throttle body for a Renault engine? We have a suitable model in our catalogue.
How to extend the life of the N4M motor
One of the most effective ways is to correct your driving style. Anyone who turns the engine a lot and often, allowing strong jerks (on a manual gearbox), will sooner encounter increased oil appetite, chain stretching, and general engine wear.

- Modern additives in fuels and lubricants will help extend the life of any mechanism.
- Products from SUPROTEC and VALENA have proven themselves better than other special additives.

has a typical design for Japanese engine manufacturing, which was typical for similar power units in the mid-2000s.
For example, the key features of the power unit include a cylinder block made of aluminum with cast iron liners and an open-type cooling jacket with an aluminum sixteen-valve head. The drive gas distribution mechanism is equipped with a single-layer timing chain
with intake phase regulators with solid pushers instead of hydraulic compensators.
Injection type power supply system with distributed fuel injection. It is worth noting that the distributed injection system in this engine is unusual, but the thing is that each cylinder is equipped with 2 injectors, which operate under the control of the electronic throttle unit of the power unit, thanks to which the engine managed to fit into Euro-5 toxicity standards.

of the “
HR
” line is rightfully considered time-tested and generally quite reliable, however, the engine under review, like many others, is characterized by certain factory defects with problems that appear during operation.
Based on reviews
from car owners whose vehicle models are equipped with the
HR16DE
, which were found on well-known portals among car enthusiasts Drive2.ru/Drom.ru, we have compiled a conditional
problem list
with certain troubles that arise with the power plant
1
.
6 HR16DE
. The most common breakdowns, for greater convenience and clarity, have been summarized into several main groups.
1
.
We naturally included
in the first Progressive oil consumption, also known as oil burn
in the power unit of the HR16DE series, often occurs even at low mileage (
from 10-15 thousand kilometers
).
According to the manufacturer, the oil burner is a design feature of the power plant. However, according to experts, to get rid of oil burnt, you just need to choose the right engine oil. In addition, there is an opinion that increased oil consumption can also appear at longer mileage, and this problem is mainly associated with deep rings, which are recommended to be replaced with third-party ones. 2.
In
the second
group of problems we included problems that arise for car owners whose cars are equipped with HR16DE engines from the first years of production. As we noted earlier, the motor in question is very reliable, but in the first years of its production, it became famous for a whole bunch of shortcomings. For example, there were often problems with difficult starting in cold weather, and sometimes the muffler exhaust pipe rings simply burned out. In addition, in 2006-2008 there was even a massive recall that affected the replacement of the ignition unit relay.

.
The third
problem group includes a fairly significant flaw associated with the low resource of the timing chain. There have been quite a few cases when car owners have encountered premature stretching of the timing chain on runs of 150-180 thousand kilometers. For reference, we note that often, in addition to the chain itself, sprockets, shoes and an expensive phase regulator also require replacement.

.The
fourth
group of shortcomings can easily include minor factory sores.
For example, engine mounts do not have a long service life ( approximately 100-130 thousand kilometers
), a constantly whistling alternator belt, which many car owners have to get used to, and a periodic need to adjust valve clearances.

Video: “Reliability, practicality and service life of the 1.6 H4M/HR16DE engine”
In conclusion, we note that the Japanese naturally aspirated gasoline engine Nissan/Nissan 1.6 HR16DE MPI series is very reliable, time-tested, economical and durable compared to other versions of internal combustion engines in its segment medium displacement engines.
The service life of the HR16DE power plant, declared by the manufacturer, is 200-210 thousand kilometers before capital repair or disposal. In reality, according to many experts, the resource of the power unit in question often reaches 300-350 thousand kilometers. Let us note on our own that in general, the life expectancy of any gasoline or diesel engine largely depends on the competent operation of the car by the owner, the quality of the gasoline being filled and the frequency of replacing consumables with technical fluids.

List of car models in which it was installed
The HR16DE naturally aspirated in-line engine was developed by the designers of the Renault-Nissan alliance for the following Nissan models:
- Juke – mini-crossover;
- Sentra – export version of the Sunny sedan;
- Qashqai – urban crossover;
- Tiida – sedan and hatchback;
- Note – subcompact van;
- NV200 – LCV-class van and minivan;
- Versa – hatchback and sedan for North America;
- Grand Livina – compact MPV for Malaysia;
- Latio – B-class sedan for Malaysia;
- Bluebird Sylphy – front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive C-class sedan for China and Thailand;
- Cube – subcompact van for Europe;
- Wingroad – utility vehicle;
- Micra is a hatchback made in England.
The French partner of the Renault-Nissan alliance owns shares in AvtoVAZ, so the HR16DE internal combustion engine device was assessed by the owners of the domestic automobile industry:
- Renault Logan – compact sedan, pickup, station wagon and minivan;
- Lada X-Ray – hatchback crossover;
- Lada Vesta is a five-door station wagon and a four-door sedan.
Nissan Cube
The engine was created for heavy loads and difficult operating conditions, including the urban cycle and off-road.
Injectors
The H4M engine for European models such as Renault Fluence, Megane is equipped not with 4, but with 8 injectors. They all inject fuel into the intake manifold. In this way, engineers hoped to make the engine more environmentally friendly and economical.
The same engine for cars localized in Russia is equipped with the usual set of injectors - one for each cylinder.
The injectors and their number do not create any trouble. The only thing is that installing HBO on an HR16DE engine with 8 injectors is a little more complicated.
You can choose and buy an injector for a Nissan engine or an injector for a Renault engine in our catalog of contract spare parts.
We are getting better
At a specialized Nissan technical center, our mechanics quickly perform their usual operations, diagnosticians accurately find typical faults that are familiar to them, and logisticians replenish the stock of necessary spare parts for Nissan from trusted suppliers and at competitive prices.

H4M Service
Having earned positive marks for its practicality, low fuel consumption and compliance with all environmental standards, the N4M engine turned out to be quite unpretentious in maintenance.
- The gas distribution chain mechanism has, according to the manufacturer, an unlimited resource; if the chain breaks, it does not bend the valve, although in practice replacement is desirable after a run of 150 thousand km.
H4M engine valves - It is enough to change the oil once every 15 thousand km, which will require about 4.3 liters of oil with a viscosity of 5W-30 or 5W-40.
- The cooling system is filled with antifreeze, a complete replacement of which is desirable every 5 years or 90 thousand kilometers.
- It is advisable to replace H4M spark plugs with new ones every 30 thousand km, but this probably depends on the quality and manufacturer of the spark plugs.
- Every 100 thousand km it becomes necessary to adjust the thermal clearances; for this, pushers are selected or replaced.
VKG system
The VKG system simply does not have a membrane valve, so there are simply no weak points. A small valve mounted directly into the lid is responsible for regulating the gas intake. It is very cheap, about 15 dollars, it is changed every 100 thousand mileage, you can change it earlier if it seems to you that oil vapors are leaking through it. Experienced motorists recommend installing jets on the VKG pipes, through which gases will flow into the intake before and after the throttle. But it’s best to do this only if you notice that the engine has begun to consume more oil. But, unfortunately, this can only overcome the symptoms, but not the problem itself. Almost certainly, oil consumption has increased due to stuck oil scraper rings.
