Is there a timing belt on a Nissan Navara?
Here is a list of timing belts and timing chains for a Nissan Frontier / Navara. Reference the model year with the corresponding engine to see if your car has a belt or a chain.
What kind of engine does Nissan Navara have?
The simple answer, Andrew, is that the 2.5-litre turbo- diesel engine in your Navara has a timing chain rather than a timing belt. However, it’s not that simple, as the engine uses two chains, rather than a longer, single timing chain.
Is there a timing chain problem on a Navara D40?
However if you are the owner of a D22 or D40 Navara with a YD25 engine (2.5 litre diesel), or a Pathfinder with a 2.5 litre diesel, there is an issue with these engines that you really need to be aware of and that is premature engine timing chain failure. http://www.andrewshightech.com.au/Services/Needatip/NissanNa…
What happens if the chain breaks on a Nissan Navara?
If this chain breaks or slips as unfortunately can be the case in the Nissan engine, the results are catastrophic. The internal parts of the engine collide, usually starting with the valves hitting the pistons and breaking away.
