Common problems and easy repairs on a 2013 Sentra

The 2013 Nissan Sentra SV is a moderately difficult car to maintain when compared to other similar models. Access for the engine air filter is more difficult than on other models. This will require the use of many tools, and the removal of the battery bracket and air filter intake. To replace the headlight, you will have to remove a large panel on this vehicle. You will need a few tools you may not have readily available for a repair. For access to the reverse light, you will have to completely remove the tail light housing first. This would have been much easier if there were a panel in the rear of the vehicle for access.

Some things are easier on the 2013 Nissan Sentra SV. The components of the spare tire are easily accessible in the rear of the vehicle. This keeps the tire and jack kit ready to go in case of emergency. Both the engine and interior fuse boxes are easily accessible on this vehicle. You only have to remove one cover to access either set of fuses, allowing you to troubleshoot electrical problems easily. Checking the oil level is easy to do, as the oil dipstick is easily accessible in the engine bay.
