A quick query for you all. My car is a 2001 (Y) Nissan Almera 1.5s. Just from reading around a little I believed that my car was fitted with a timing chain instead of a timing belt, which meant that it didnt need changing at all (or on a longer time scale)
My car is about 5 years old now (bought nearly 2 years ago) and the recommended timing belt change is usually 5 years or so many thousand miles, now im well below the milage quota at only 26000 but I have now started worrying about this.
I had a look under the bonnet for belts and chains and the like and I see no chain but instead see a belt to the left of the engine which looks to me very much like it would be a timing belt (something I thought I did not have)
Firstly a pic of the engine, to the left is where these belts are.
And a close up of this area
And finally a bit further out so get a better idea of location.
The belt runs around a few things (as youd expect) further back and below and as soon as the engine is running it is moving.
Can anybody confirm whether on not this is the fabled timing belt or not ?
Thanks
