Sentra GXE 1.8L
Anyone who looses heat (blower working but no or little heat coming out) on a Nissan Sentra 2003 with a 1.8L engine PRAY that it turns out to be the thermostat or even a bad water pump...BUT...be ready to accept the fact that it's MOST LIKELY a blown head gasket and be prepared to "bail out" your local repair shop with a "stimulus package" worth over $1000, more like $1500 dependent on what other things they will find when they take your engine apart.
These things should not be happening to cars that are driven by regular folks (like me) to work and back (I don't street or drag race it). I'm not a mechanic, but I know a lot about cars, I've maintained and worked on them for 20 years...this is, as I'm finding out now...a design flaw in the Nissan 1.8L engine one that the media HYPE about Japanese car's reliability has been able to mask until now (thank you internet).
If there ever was/is a class action for this problem, COUNT ME IN :)
