The 1.0-liter Nissan CG10DE Clean Green engine (or CG10 for short) was produced from 1992 to 2003 and was installed mainly in local compact cars such as Micra and March. In a number of markets from 2000 to 2002, a modification with direct fuel injection was offered.
The CG family also includes internal combustion engines: CG13DE and CGA3DE.

- Nissan Micra 2 (K11) in 1992 – 2003;

Disadvantages of the CG10DE engine
- The most famous problem with internal combustion engines is that their timing chains stretch and rattle;
- In second place in popularity are floating speeds due to throttle contamination;
- In third place is an unreliable thermostat, which can suddenly start acting weird;
- We also note the quickly drying gaskets and seals, which is fraught with leaks;
- The motor often troit due to moisture, which then easily seeps into the candle wells.
