how to replace a starter for a nissan xterra 04
I understand that the starter is under the intake manifold and is quite a bit of work to replace. Could take several hours.
Cam Chain.....
80000 miles or 10 years
No, absolutely not. All you have to remove is the starter.
A timing belt on a 2004 Vectra GSI 3.2 should be changed at about 50,000 miles. The timing belts can be purchased at any auto parts store.
I just replaced the starter on my 2006 Ford Taurus at 79,000 miles. Auto Zone for their limited lifetime, re-manufactured starter, $139.99 + tax, plus a $50 core refunded when you return the old starter. The car was dead, so it was jacked up to place on ramps for sufficient clearance from below. Total time was about 1.5 hours to replace the starter. The starter bolts can be removed with a 13mm box end, but is easier with a socket and ratchet. The electrical connections take a 13 mm and a 10 mm. The battery terminal requires a 8 mm. You must disconnect the battery!
Because there's no sensor on a head gasket its just plastic
It is bolted into the passenger side of the engine block BEHIND the starter. You can not see are get to it UNTILL you remove the STARTER.
Left side of the engine, to the rear of the engine mount.
Civic 04 as per dealer parts + labour = $916
I am unsure but you could call the dealer and ask them they should know. If not call any parts store and they can they'll you.
