Engine Won’t Start – If your Navara’s timing chain or belt has fallen off completely, broken, or has jumped a few teeth, it is entirely possible that the engine won’t even start. You might hear it slapping around as the engine cranks over. If this is the case, the damage is already done.

What does the tensioner do on a Nissan Navara?
The tensioners job is to keep the right amount of pressure on your Nissan Navara’s timing belt or chain. As the belt/chain stretches through normal operation, it would get loose and fall off or jump. The tensioner keeps this from happening by keeping a consistent amount of force on the belt.
