What mileage would i need to change my timing belt on a 2005 Nissan Sentra SE-R And what would i need to update at 106 miles.

Hi Kate,sounds like your valves need adjusting,here's a link on how to do it.Here's how you remove the valve cover.

Oddly, rather than 100,000 miles, the recommendation for a timing belt change on this vehicle is 105,000 miles

a timing belt change is not monitored by the service engine soon light.it comes on when the computer detects a problem and sets a code.the code will have to be pulled to know what area to start to diagnose.the ticking could be anything from low or dirty oil needing to be changed to the valves may need adjusting,even a worn or dry belt can make a ticking sound.you don`t say how many miles are on the car or if you have changed the timing belt.if the mileage is over 100,000 kil(60,000 miles) then it should be changed.

Should change the belt and tensioner every 60,000 miles

most mechanics will tell u change at 70000 miles but i say 100000 miles

The timing chain doesn't really have a maintenance period. They don't have a habit of breaking or stretching. Timing belts on some vehicles do have a recomended replacement period. Locate your local NTB, Firestone, or Sears for the maintenance schedule.

cause they make cheap azz belts for them look for a (GATES) brand there a little more expensive but last a whole lot longer

well maybe there was some mis-communication there , nissan stopped using timing belts in sentra's and actually most all models in 2000 , maybe they were telling you that your serpentine belt needed changed ? but to answer your question , you do not have a timing belt in your 2002 nissan sentra . its a chain . thanks

I own this car, and I can say confidently that it has a timing chain instead of a belt. I believe you do not need to change the chain at any point...... it is more a matter of maintenance and repair to worn guides and tensioners.
