The 1.0-liter Nissan CG10DE Clean Green engine, also known as CG10, was produced between 1992 and 2003 and was primarily found in regional compact cars like the March and Micra. A direct fuel injection modification was available in several markets between 2000 and 2002.
The CG13DE and CGA3DE internal combustion engines are also part of the CG family.
The engine was mounted on:
- Nissan Micra 2 (K11) in 1992 – 2003;
- Nissan March 2 (K11) in 1992 – 2003.

Disadvantages of the CG10DE engine
The most well-known issue with internal combustion engines is that their timing chains rattle and stretch;
Floating speeds caused by throttle contamination rank second in popularity; an unreliable thermostat that can suddenly start acting strangely ranks third;
We also observe the rapidly drying seals and gaskets, which are prone to leaks;
Moisture frequently causes the motor to troit, which then readily seeps into the candle wells.
