Alf08 Neutral Newbie July 28, 2013 Share July 28, 2013 (edited) I think that is because it is the cheapest japanese made luxury car... BTW, any cefiro owner here ever change their fuel filter? Some advise needed, call up Nissan service to enquire, they told me no need to change, they said sometimes like the filter will last forever!!! I check with my own mechanic, they quote me $400 plus as this filter come in as a whole assembly with the motor! Anyone can advise? Mine is a 2006 2.3L Edited July 28, 2013 by Alf08 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micb 5th Gear May 23, 2014 Share May 23, 2014 Just a quick check with Cefiro owners, if anyone had replaced the shift knob (gear knob) before? Can it be removed by turning it or it is complete with the shift stalk as well ? Appreciate your advice. Thank you ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic July 31, 2014 Share July 31, 2014 My friend also bought a '06 Cefiro recently. Upon finding out that it's leaking almost everywhere he sold it off and got a '06 FD1 Civic. Only problem with it is the engine leaking some oil. He spent less dan $20 to buy a bottle of engine stop leak to minimize the leaking. I think he will wait till next service to change to a thicker engine oil. We feel that 2 years left to scrap just heck care. If radiator leak(touch wood) I will suggest he get those radiator stop leak or sealer to minimize it. Just have to standby engine oil and water in the car in case the levels drop too low. 2 years left no point spending so much on replacement parts.

E3ugene Clutched July 31, 2014 Share July 31, 2014 wah u quite suay i would have sold it off long ago well, I sort of like that car with it spacious interiors....and my wife loves it due to her serious motion sickness which she would not have it with this car...and the amount I spent so far still quite cheap considering I brought most parts online and only paid labour to install it...

Hi E3ugene, Thanks for the advise. Yes I figured out the removal of the gear knob eventually, it is secured by a clip after removing the chrome cover. Sorry to hear about the list of repair you had with your Cefiro. My ride is now coming to 8.5 years with mileage 240,000km, and maintained by TC. Touch wood......it is definitely more reliable to my last ride ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
V6_Nissmo Neutral Newbie August 1, 2014 Share August 1, 2014 I agree fully that cefiro offers a very comfortable ride and its actually a rather low maintenance jap car. If you can keep it till coe expires. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latio2005A Turbocharged April 14, 2015 Share April 14, 2015 (edited) Btw, anyone knows where to buy cheap pair of chrome bumpers (at the back of the rear bumper) for 2006 upwards model? I know of supplier selling at $55 (+GST) per side. Anyone can help? recon ones also can. Tks when was that and how much? Early this year. I updated map to newer version, $100 plus (in 2014) And changed my faulty GPS antenna, $70 (this year). After that, Tan separately helped me to hide my car cam cable free of charge.
