timing belt or timing chain?

[bogart_seph]

does the sentra lec model really uses timing chain instead of timing belt?

Yes it uses a timing chain. I may be wrong but I belive all newer model Nissans use t-chains.

With a chain, you dont have to worry about changing it. Its supposed to last the life of the car.

Nissan at Suzuki lang ba ang gumagamit ng timing chain?

Toyota Avanza ay naka chain. Ford Expedtion, E150, F150 also uses chain. Chevy Venture also equiped with chain. I'm sure may iba pa just cant remember kung anong models.

I think gas engined Toyota Revo's use a timing chain also.

mali ka, wala pa ko nakikitang local revo na timing chain--7k is still timing belt, 1kz, 1zz, 1kd, etc.. all passenger models ng toyota uses timing belt. nissan offers timing chain talaga, from ga16, qd32, td27, sr20, etc....

and i dont believe na makina ng avanza ay timing chain.. its practicallty the same as what the vios/echo has.....and most top-end models nga ng toyota timing belt parin...even diesl engines...

alam ko timing belt pa rin ang Avanza.

[cyrusblutrooper]

basta sa akin kahit ano pa yan chain, belt or gear basta nasa timing sya ok yan.

[alwayz_yummy]

yup, this should not be a big issue..

pero siyempre lesser maintenance ang chain, especially the gear then the belt...

most new toyotas naman has an T-belt indicator on the dash..

Napa research ako sa thread na to.

I'm 100% sure that the Avanza uses a timing chain. I asked a Toyota sales rep about it before purchasing my unit. It was also confirmed by another Avanza owner in the Toyota Avanza thread. And to validate, I just checked my owners manual. No mention of checking, inspecting or replacing a timing belt in the maintenance section.
