When did Nissan fix the timing chain issue?
The path of the timing chain for Ford’s Eco Boost engine is very similar to the Y62’s engine. Would be great to be able to confirm Nissan fixed the the issue with a stronger timing chain from March 2013. I have an April 2013 build STL with 100,000ks and no issues yet.
How much does it cost to repair a timing chain?
Post March 2013, the issue seems to be non-existent ie. engines built after this date do not have the issue as they have been built with revised (beefier) timing chains that do not stretch like the earlier ones. Cost of repairs (parts only) is approx AU$1300. Add labour and you’re looking at nearly AU$6,000.
Are there any timing chain failures in Y62 patrol?
G’day folks, I’m starting this thread to discuss, but more importantly, collect data on the premature timing chain failures which are apparent in the early series one aussie Y62 patrols. The issue seems to be limited to the pre March 2013 build vehicles (all with the VK56VD engines), typically with as little as 84K and up to 150K kms on the clock.
When do I need to replace my timing belt?
After a number of unexpected breakages, Holden recommended replacement at 60,000km intervals, rather than the original interval of 120,000km, for its TS-series Astra from 1998. Other than exceptional circumstances like that, the car’s service manual outlines how frequently the belt should be replaced.
When to replace timing chain on Nissan Juke?
Nissan is conducting this Voluntary Service Campaign to replace the engine timing chain on certain specific 2011 – 2013 Juke vehicles. This service will be performed at no charge for parts or labor. IDENTIFICATION NUMBER Nissan has assigned identification number P4213 to this campaign.
When to go to the Mechanic about a bad timing chain?
If the belt is jumping because it’s gotten loose, it can also flail around and damage other parts of the engine. If your engine won’t start or starts driving rough, indicating it may be on its way to failing, contact a certified mechanic for inspection and repairs. 4. Check Engine Light is on
Is the timing chain the same as the timing belt?
Since the inception of the internal combustion engine, one constant has remained – all of them have a timing chain or timing belt. Most higher-displacement engines have a timing chain as opposed to a timing belt.
What causes oil to separate from the timing chain?
Over time, oil begins to separate as it heats up and is exposed to natural solvents found in gasoline. If the timing chain begins to wear out, small metal pieces can break off the chain and find their way into the oil pan.
