definetly, bought a nissan sentra for my son, has 280 thousand miles on it, as long as you take care of the engine it will last. Engine is wonderful. runs superbly
I have a 98 Nissan sentra, and it doesn't have a timing belt.
hundred thousand to two hundred thousand miles!
When the engine is overhauled as it is designed to normally last the life of the engine.
Normally it will last the life of the engine and is replaced when the engine is overhauled.
Timing chains will normally last the life of the engine and are replaced during a complete engine rebuild.
Replace it when the engine needs a complete overhaul, if the chain becomes noisy, or if you are unable to keep the engine timed. Normally they last well over 100,000 miles.
Depends on the year. On any Sentra made in the last 10 years change the spark plugs every 100,000 miles unless you have a misfire. In that case change them immediately. On an older Sentra change them every 75,000 miles.
I was told that timing belts should be replaced every 60,000 miles. However, when I called the local Nissan dealer for my 2003 Sentra, they told me it does not ever need to be replaced. Then I read somewhere that apparently Nissan guarantees the timing belt/chain to last the life time of the engine. I also read that 2003 Sentra has a timing chain, not a belt.
Timing chains are designed to last the life of the engine unlike timing belts which require replacement at certain intervals.
Timing chains are designed to last the life of the engine and are normally replaced during a complete engine rebuild. Unless it becomes noisy no maintenance is necessary.
They can last a long time but they can also break without warning. The owners manual shuld say how long before replacing. I would guess at least 50,000 miles or so between replacing it.
