Common problems and easy repairs on a 2006 Sentra

The 2006 Nissan Sentra S is a very easy car to maintain, and a good choice for the average car owner. You only have to reach behind the housing for reliable access to the headlight. This is less problematic access than you’ll find on other models. Accessing the tail light is easy, as you only have to peel back a lining in the trunk for access. While this may require some tools, it is relatively easy to do, allowing for a quick bulb change. The oil level is easy to check, as the oil dipstick is easily accessible in the engine bay.

Some things are tougher on the 2006 Nissan Sentra S. You will have to completely remove the glove box in order to access the cabin air filter. This will require many tools, and steps, in order to complete. The transmission fluid dipstick is slightly tough to access, as you will have to make a tough reach in the engine bay in order to remove. The brake fluid level is difficult to check, as the maximum and minimum level markers are not overly visible due to the reservoir being located in the back of the engine bay.
