Hey guys I have a 103k miles on car and have never done anything to it but brakes and oil changes (nissan new tranny at 85k). My question is what do I do besides plugs and belts? Do I replace timing chain and water pump? Thanks

Just look at Nissan Max Maintenance Schedule for your ride . It will give you a nice idea what to do buddy .

Have a look at this : http://x.nissanhelp.com/service/2008_service_guide.pdf

Thank you for the quick reply...I know about the repair schedule but I dont see anywhere they recomened to replace the timing belt and water pump...So I guess I just leave it?

Thanks

Hey move27 : look at page 15 ( from pdf ) , & get from there to where your mileage is at . .

Do your belts; I am sure they are due. I did mine at 65k and they needed to be done. Change out your coolant as well if it was not done when you had your CVT changed out.

Well Nissian replaced the tranny at 85k...Do they replace that or use the same old oil...

Thanks

sprocketser

Hope they did put in some new oil in , if not , bring your business elsewhere .

move27

That would be my luck...Is there anyway to check by the color of it?

sprocketser

Is that a CVT ! If so I don t know them . Their must be a dipstick somehow in order to check the poil level . Maybe one can chime in on this one .

BoltBucket

sprocketser, Are you able to grab one of those for a 2004?

Terrentius

I would bet that they put new CVT fluid in when they installed the new CVT. They wouldn't risk a new CTV warranty by throwing in the old CVT fluid.

Terrentius

And when I said coolant in my previous post, I was not talking about your CVT fluid. I am talking about coolant; the stuff that circulates through your radiator/engine/transmission to maintain proper engine temperature.

sprocketser

You have a 4 or a 5 A/T on a 04 Max , personally I would nt have one on my car .

move27

Thanks guys...I will do the radiator flust, plugs, wipers, Air filters and belts...But does anyone know if I should replace timing chain and water pump?

Terrentius

You'll know when you have to change the chain tensioners; the sounds will drive you bananas. As for the waterpump, if it ain't broke, then don't fix it.

Thank you for all your help guys
