When should I have my Nissan Xterra timing belt changed and what else should I have done when they change it?

Answer 1

The same timing belt in California lasts 100,000 miles get it done before that the 3.3 liter engine is non interference valves hitting the pistons is interference on the older 3.0 liter. While your in there the water pump should be replaced three engine seals need to be done and any noisey bearings in the tensioner and idlers need also be replaced. And the thermostat and the three radatior hoses too. I highly reccomend that the technician also remove the radatior and wash the debris out of the cooling fins. Going back in after a leaky seal you will occur the same amount or most of the labor again

Answer 3

At 60K you should replace the timing belt, tensioner, water pump, and the cam seals and crank seal if any of them are seeping or leaking. You should also have a tune up, front and rear differential service, transfer case service, and transmission service performed, cooling system service performed, fuel injection flush performed, and if it has it..the in cabin microfilter replaced. It is expensive, but you only do it once every 60K

Answer 4

it is recommended to change the timing belt at 60,000 miles. At about 90,000 they will let loose and leave you sitting.

Answer 5

60k also do the tensioner and water pump. and the engine belts.....
