Hey guys: (2000 GLE)
My car just turned 65k on the odometer. I was wondering:
At what mileage should I change the timing chain?
Should I buy OEM fron Nissan or is there a replacement?
How much are we talking about?

The fact is I'm in Puerto Rico and if I take it to the dealership, they are going to stab me with the bill, but if I go to a regular mechanic, I'm afraid he might do a lousy job.

What you guys think?
Thanks,
Alex

 

u definitely do not need to replace it anytime soon, since its a chain not a belt.

 

150-200k assuming you don't come down with a tensioner failure

nissan oem

its like 4 hour job...

 

Alex.....yo soy Portorro, de Summit Hills en Puerto Nuevo....me gradue de Mayaguez en el 75, residi en Humacao (Palmas) por montones de años y desde el 2001 vivo en Oregon.

Ingles, por favor.

 

Saludos Galo: Yo soy de Mayaguez, pero nací en el 75. Todavia vivo en Mayaguez, casado y trabajo de medico interno en Moca.

A lo que me refiero en el post de arriba es a la cadena de distribucion. Es que varias personas me han dicho que hay que cambiarla ya mismo pero en realidad no se sea muy temprano todavia.

Saludos!!

 

lol, i wish i have a clue what you guys said in spanish but I do know one thing that timing chain is not a belt and it does not need to be changed.

 

yo tengo sopa de pescado en mis pantalones, y yo soy el diablo.....muahahahahahahha. LOL.

 

uuuuhhhhhhh!!!!
