Second Hand Nissan Note Fuel Injector

Yes, fuel injectors are fitted to all Nissan Note engines, both petrol and diesel, because every variant uses fuel injection rather than a carburettor. The petrol engines (1.4 and 1.6) use port fuel injectors, while the 1.5 dCi diesel uses direct diesel injectors – these are completely different parts and are not interchangeable between fuel types. Always confirm your fuel type before ordering, and supply your engine code to the breaker so they can match the correct injector.

The Nissan Note ran across two generations in the UK: the first generation (E11) covered roughly 2006 to 2013, and the second generation (E12) ran from 2013 onwards. A 2007 car is firmly E11 and a 2013 car could be either generation depending on build date, so these may be from different platforms entirely. Engine codes are the reliable guide here – if both cars share the same engine code, fitment is more likely, but confirm this with the breaker against your registration before buying.

The first-generation Note (E11, 2006–2013) did receive updates during its production run, and injector specifications can vary by engine code even within the same generation. Your engine code – found on your V5C or via a VIN check – is the single most useful detail you can give a breaker, as it pins down exactly which injector variant was fitted. Don't assume a 2006 injector fits a 2009 car just because both are E11; ask the breaker to confirm against your specific engine code.

Trim level – whether your Note is an Visia, Acenta, Tekna, or any other grade – has no bearing on which fuel injector is fitted. Injectors follow the engine, not the badge, so what matters is your engine code and fuel type, not the trim name on the tailgate. Supply your engine code to the breaker and they will be able to match the correct injector regardless of trim.

Diesel injectors on the Note's 1.5 dCi engine often carry individual calibration codes, and whether they need programming to the ECU after fitting is something you should confirm with the breaker and your fitting garage before purchasing. This is not something that can be stated as a blanket rule, as it can depend on the specific injector and the diagnostic equipment available. Make sure your garage is aware a used injector is being fitted so they can advise on any coding requirement.

Gearbox type does not affect the fuel injectors themselves – injectors are part of the engine, not the transmission, so a CVT car and a manual car with the same engine code will use the same injectors. The engine code is what matters, and if it matches between donor and recipient car, the injector should be the correct specification. Confirm the engine code match with the breaker to be sure, and mention both cars' registrations so they can double-check.
