Q: How to program the remote keyless entry clicker on a 2002 Nissan Altima?
I bought a used Nissan Altima (2002) and they gave me a keyless remote buy did not know how to program it. Can anyone help? Also, I only got 1 key and would like to make copies...does anyone know if the Altima keys have that chip inside and have to be purchased from a dealer or can I just bring it to a hardware store to copy? I'd really appreciate help on programming the keyless remote! Thanks!

A: I should cut and paste this: roll down windows, take key out of the switch, use switch lock doors, insert and withdraw key 6 times in ten seconds plenty of time do not rush. turn signal green arrows will blink, put key in and turn to ON that is just before crank, push any button on first remote turn signal arrows flash to tell you programed. Second remote unlock and re lock then push remote button turn signal flash. To exit remote programing either turn key to start or open drivers door. Now take Key less entry fob and see if all the buttons work. Bet you did not know if you hold down unlock the front windows will go down? and chirp to confirm can be turned on and off by holding lock and unlock buttons. I like the confirmation beep. Key has a chip Your dealer will have to program or advanced "lock- smith" Any key work you must bring in all the keys and not use, any unprogramed key. Tell your insurance company your car has immobilizer/alarm and get 10 to 15% off.

Q: How long will a 2002 Nissan Altima last?
Ok, i just bought a clear title 2002 nissan altima with 135K on it and i was wondering how many miles will it last? I'd really appreciate anyone who answers this question. Thank you

A: if it was well maintained and you maintain it well, it will last well into the 300 or 400s. you may need to replace your transmission and a few other things not too far down the road, but you should be alright. if its a 3.5 se v6 you should be alright if its a 2.5 s 4 cylinder id be cautious. in altimas 02-06...bad engines however if that is the original engine then its ok. i had to replace the motor on my 03 altima at 61,100 miles

Q: Should I trade my 2003 Chevy Impala for a 2002 Nissan Altima?
My Impala has 78,xxx miles and is all leather. The Nissan Altima has 113,xxx miles and I will get $1400 out of it. I like the Altima a lot more but I am worried because of the miles. I need the car to last me for probably 4 years, is the reasonable. What is your opinion?

A: If they were the same age and mileage the Altima is a better car, but I would not make that deal, you are giving up a nicer equipment level, a year newer car, and 35000 miles for just $1400? Not me - I wouldn't do it.

Q: What size and brand of rims should I get on my 2002 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE?
I want to get nice black rims on my silver Altima. What size looks the best and what is a good priced website to buy these? (Don't want to spend anything over $450) Thanks a lot.

A: For this price, I would just recommend powdercoating your current rims, or buy someone's factory Nissan rims and powdercoat those. Anything you get for less than $450 will be poor quality, unless you get rims from like a Maxima or newer Altima.

Q: Can i put exhaust tips on a 2002 nissan altima 2.5s?

Q: What is a cost estimate for parts & labor for a new timing chain for a 2002 Nissan Altima w/ 3.5L V6?
Also, I've heard on some cars the water pump should be changed at the same time. Is this the case for the Altima w/ the 3.5L V6?

A: The timing chain guides wear away and break and the chain becomes noisy. Yes anything under the timing cover worn or broken also needs to be changed. If the car has 100,000 or more mileage water pump may not last another trip around the odometer. Because many Nissan Technicians remove the entire power train to have room to remove and install the timing chain covers. Several things to think about because some time we also need valve cover gaskets spark plugs motor mounts and new radiators CV joints and all those extras can get expensive. Keep in mind a new car would cost more but if your car has 200,000 it might be time to trade out of the 8 year old sedan.

Q: How much does it cost to have cigarette lighter installed on 2002 Nissan Altima?
Thank you John Paul, I'm not a smoker. I needed this information because I needed a phone charger installed. I will look up the website for the part you suggested. thanks again.

A: Power socket is not a Cigarette lighter socket. You knew that that other answerer. Now you can purchase a Smokers kit that includes a socket lighter and a cup holder ash tray. Then have some one who knows how to remove the center console box install it. "courtesyparts.com" + shipping or call your local dealer. Isn't it time to stop smoking. I quit then CIG's hit $3.50 a pack what are they now?

Q: How much should an Electronic Throttle Actuator PO10166052 for a 2002 Nissan Altima cost?
I would like to know if 468.72 is a good price for parts and labor.

A: Just (4) 5mm socket headed cap bolts and the rubber boot. Try courtesyparts.com and reuse the metal gasket. Easy just getting the code cleared (auto parts store) The nissan part number is different and the throttle chamber (Nissan Calls it) is now available as a re-manufactured part. $468.72 is to high of a price. That sounds like full retail Nissan Dealership installed price.

Q: How much should it cost to replace a bearing & hub on a 2002 Nissan Altima?
This is for the left front side of the car.

A: Around 300-400$. Have to have an alignment done, at same time. I just had mine done, on a 3000gt. But the part is pretty much the same, regardless of car.
