Nissan Almera G15 (2012–2019) is one of the most popular sedans in Russia, but its owners often face the problem of finding original spare parts. The point is not only the high price of “original” parts, but also the abundance of counterfeit analogues, which can damage vehicle components after just a few thousand kilometers. In this article we have collected current article numbers of original spare parts for Almera G15, we looked at how to check them by VIN code, and provided a list of proven analogues from leading manufacturers.

A special feature of the model is the unification of many parts with other cars of the alliance Renault-Nissan (For example, Renault Logan or Datsun on-DO). This simplifies the search for spare parts, but requires care: even seemingly identical parts may have different part numbers due to differences in materials or tolerances. We have analyzed official Nissan catalogs, reviews of service centers and data on warranty repairs in order to create the most accurate reference book.

How to select the right spare parts by VIN code

Every detail in Nissan Almera G15 has a unique article number, but it is not enough for a 100% accurate selection. For example, brake pads for engine HR16DE (1.6 l) differ from versions for K4M (1.6 l from Renault), although both engines were installed on this model. To avoid errors, use VIN decoder and follow the algorithm:

  1. Find VIN - it is indicated on the plate under the hood (driver's side) or in Vehicle registration certificate.
  2. Check body code: for Almera G15 this is B17 (sedan). Station wagons or hatchbacks have different designations.
  3. Check the year of manufacture: Even within the same model year, suppliers could change (for example, Bosch or Akebono for braking systems).
  4. Check the article number with the Nissan database through the official service Nissan Parts USA or Russian catalogs like Exist.ru.

⚠️ Attention: If you buy a spare part at a disassembly site, request photo of original packaging with article number. Counterfeit parts are often sold in repackaged boxes with fake labels. For example, fake front control arm silent blocks (article 54501-BM00A) may have the same appearance, but are made of low-quality rubber, which cracks after 10–15 thousand km.

⚠️ Attention: When replacing brake discs on Almera G15 there is often a problem with steering wheel beating at a speed of 80–100 km/h. The reason is poor-quality groove or incorrect installation. Always check disks for radial runout (tolerance - no more than 0.05 mm) and use new caliper guides (article 40535-BM00A).

How to check the authenticity of Nissan brake pads?

Original pads Nissan have:

1. Laser engraving of the article on a metal base.

2. Logo Akebono or Sumitomo (Nissan suppliers) on the packaging.

3. Hologram on the box with a verification code (can be checked on the manufacturer’s website).

Counterfeits often have a blurred print, lack of a hologram or a “burnt rubber” aroma upon first braking (the original has a specific smell due to the composition of the friction material).

Electrics and lighting: article numbers of lamps, sensors and relays

Electrical part Almera G15 considered reliable, but fail over time headlights, ABS sensors And relay. The main problem is the incompatibility of some lamps with their “Chinese” counterparts. For example, LED lamps in headlights without modification may cause an error B2606 (“Lighting malfunction”).

  • 💡 Low beam lamp (H7): 26500-BM00A (set of 2 pcs.). Analogues: Osram Night Breaker Laser 64210NBL-HCB, Philips X-tremeVision 12362XV2H7.
  • 💡 Marker lamp (W5W): 26100-BM00A. Analogues: Narva 48318, GE 45910.
  • 🔌 ABS sensor (front): 40528-BM00A. Analogues: Bosch 0 265 004 757, ATE 24.5202-0122.2.
