Used Nissan Primera Fuel Injector

The Nissan Primera P11 generation ran from 1996 to 2002, so a 2001 and a 1999 car are both within the same generation — but fitment still depends on whether they share the same engine code, since Primera P11s were offered with several different petrol engines. Confirm the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and give it to the breaker, as that is the detail that determines whether the injectors are interchangeable, not the year alone. Never assume fitment without cross-referencing engine codes.

The P11 Primera ran from 1996 to 2002 and the P12 from 2002 to 2007 — these are separate generations with different engine families, and injectors from a P12 are very unlikely to be a direct fit on a P11. Engine codes changed significantly between generations, and fuel injectors are engine-specific components. Always supply your engine code to the breaker so they can match the correct injector rather than going by generation alone.

Trim level makes no difference to fuel injector fitment on the Nissan Primera — S, SE, SVE, and any other trim designation are cosmetic and equipment distinctions, not mechanical ones. What matters is that the donor car shares the same engine code as yours, which you can find on your V5 registration document. Confirm the engine code with the breaker and trim is irrelevant.

Yes, this is one of the most important distinctions — petrol and diesel fuel injectors are completely different components and are not interchangeable under any circumstances. Diesel injectors operate at much higher pressures and are an entirely different design to petrol injectors. Always confirm your fuel type and engine code when contacting a breaker.

The P12 Primera received a facelift during its production run, and while the engine codes largely carried over, there is a possibility of ancillary or calibration changes mid-production that could affect injector specification. The engine code from your V5 is the safest starting point, but you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration to make sure the injector from a pre-facelift or post-facelift donor is correct for your car. Do not assume the engine code alone is sufficient without that final check.

No — fuel injectors are calibrated to deliver a specific flow rate matched to the engine's displacement and fuelling requirements, so a 1.6-litre injector will not correctly supply a 1.8-litre engine even if it physically fits. The engine code, not just the stated engine size, is the reliable identifier since Primera engines of nominally similar size may have differences in injector specification. Always match by engine code and confirm with the breaker.
