Which Pulsar Engine Code Does Your Vehicle Use?
These are the Pulsar engine codes our network matches for the tested used engine route, where a low-mileage original is compression and leak tested before it is offered. Your registration confirms the exact variant before quoting.
For a Pulsar the HRA2DDT is the engine our network matches most often, and its chain history is exactly why a donor’s provenance must be checked before money changes hands. The engine codes, capacities and power figures above reflect Nissan UK’s published specifications, and the VRM lookup confirms which code your donor must carry.
| Engine Family | Engine Code | Capacity | Fuel | Power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HR petrol | HRA2DDT | 1.2L | Turbo Petrol | 113 hp |

Questions answered clearly
Frequently Asked Questions
How is a tested used Pulsar engine verified for timing chain stretch on the HRA2DDT petrol? +
A tested used Nissan Pulsar engine is not reconditioned — it is a low-mileage take-out that has been run through compression, leak-down and oil-pressure checks, plus a history review, before it is offered. Each one is graded and priced on its measured condition rather than an assumption.
Why pick a tested used Pulsar engine over a full reconditioning after timing chain stretch on the HRA2DDT petrol? +
Going used suits a Nissan Pulsar that is not worth a full reconditioning but still has years left in the shell. A tested engine with a warranty undercuts the reconditioned price while still resolving the chain-stretch problem, as long as you pick one that has genuinely passed its checks.
What warranty comes with a tested used Pulsar engine for timing chain stretch on the HRA2DDT petrol? +
A tested used Nissan Pulsar engine still carries written workshop cover — typically six months, sometimes longer — so the low-mileage claim is backed by a document rather than a promise. The terms are confirmed before you pay anything.
How much is a tested used Pulsar engine after timing chain stretch on the HRA2DDT petrol? +
Used pricing depends on the mileage, the code and how much damage your chain left behind, so flat figures would be misleading. A registration quote gives you the real number for your Nissan Pulsar.
How long does a tested used Pulsar swap take after timing chain stretch on the HRA2DDT petrol? +
A tested used Nissan Pulsar swap usually wraps in three to five working days, with recovery and fitting folded into one job. It only runs longer if the donor needs a service before it goes in.
What documents come with a tested used Pulsar engine replaced for timing chain stretch on the HRA2DDT petrol? +
With a used Nissan Pulsar engine you get the donor's history and test results, the warranty certificate and the fitting paperwork together. That file proves the engine was tested and recorded, not bought blind.
Will the tested used engine match my Pulsar's registration after timing chain stretch on the HRA2DDT petrol? +
The VRM check ties the donor to your Nissan Pulsar's exact code and variant before anything is offered, so a close-enough engine never reaches the quote stage. That is what prevents fitment mistakes and rework.
How do I book a tested used Pulsar quote online for timing chain stretch on the HRA2DDT petrol? +
Key in the registration, choose tested used, and the network returns written quotes matched to your Nissan Pulsar's engine code. It takes under a minute and commits you to nothing.
Do you recover my Pulsar stopped by timing chain stretch on the HRA2DDT petrol for tested used fitting? +
Collection is arranged when you book the supply-and-fit option, even for a Nissan Pulsar that will not fire. It is lifted from your home, the donor goes in at the workshop, and the car comes back once it has been road-tested.
What if the Pulsar code linked to timing chain stretch on the HRA2DDT petrol is not on the used list? +
If your Nissan Pulsar's exact code is not on the used list at that moment, the network sources a matching engine through its suppliers rather than leaving you without an option. You are told the lead time in writing before you commit to anything.
