(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A 2011 Nissan Evalia diesel engine is experiencing issues with the check engine light, power loss, and ignition failure. The initial suspicion is pressure fluctuations in one of the cylinders. A similar case with a Nissan Primastar revealed that the problem could stem from errors in the fuel and ignition systems, causing a domino effect leading to engine failure. It is advised to have the vehicle checked by a trusted mechanic to diagnose and resolve the issue promptly.

Hey, Thanks for the heads up! Sounds like a proper head-scratcher you had there with your Primastar. Hope my Evalia isn't heading the same route, but it's good to be prepared for anything at this point. Cheers for sharing, appreciate it. Just out of curiosity, do you remember how much it set you back to get everything sorted out? And have you had any other surprise issues crop up since then? Stay safe! Cheers!

Hey, Alright, so about the costs, it's quite interesting actually because it didn't cost me a penny to sort out the consequential errors from other error memory entries. Yep, you heard that right - 0€ is what it cost me. As for the pressure fluctuation on a cylinder, my mechanic sorted that out when I took my Primastar in. You know, a regular check-up kind of thing. Good as new since, no more problems there, thankfully! Since then, the beast has been nothing but cool, smooth rides for me. No more nasty surprises, knock on wood. Hope this helps you out. Remember, sometimes cars can be a pain in the tailpipe, but when they work smoothly, they are worth all the hassle! Cheers!

Hey, Wow, hearing a car success story like that sure does fill me with hope! Especially the part where it didn't empty your wallet – now, that's a silver lining if I ever saw one! I'll definitely get on to checking out that issue as soon as possible. Fingers crossed, my Evalia just needs a little TLC and I could do a schmick run like your Primastar. Thanks again for your advice, and here’s to hoping my car luck turns around soon. Take care and happy driving! Cheers!

Hi, Wow, your problem sounds a lot like the one I had with my 2014 Nissan Primastar a while back. Roughly same distance on the clock too. My beast wouldn't start, and the engine light was flickering like a strobe at a nightclub. I initially thought it might be a cylinder issue, just like you. But boy, was I wrong. After finally biting the bullet and towing it to a trusted mechanic, it turned out to be consequential errors from other error memory entries. These problems were from the fuel system and the ignition system, which led to the engine losing power and not starting up. It was an actual domino effect. Don't want to scare you, dude, but it did turn out to be something serious for me. Not saying it's gonna be the same for you, but it's worth getting it checked out ASAP. We did quite a bit of work to get it all straightened out again, but hey, she's running smooth now. Anyway, hope it's a smaller issue for you. Best of luck! Cheers!
