Think timing belt is going - 1993 Nissan Pickup

Basically its said,that when water pump is replaced,its also advisable to replace timing chain.The timing chain is either worn out or while replacing water pump,the timing chain got misaligned.It has to be inspected.Most probably,it needs to be replaced.

I think you have your belt wrong. Its turning the power steering pump backward.

First, you forgot to mention which engine your vehicle is equipped with (2.4L or 3.0L .... the 3.3L and 3.8L engines are chain-driven). This is really "nice-to-know" information if you want accurate information on how to fix it. Then, I have a little trouble believing that the serpentine belt could go under the timing belt unless there is some severe damage to the timing belt covers.

Hi, i think the Civic has a timing belt, So the noise could be coming from the belt itself or the tensioner pully assembly or any idler roller that the belt may go round.
Also if the waterpump is driven by the timing belt (which i think it is )it could be noisy
I hope this is of some help to you

well I think its around 60,000 miles for most vehicles but if it is going bad, i would change it asap! but it verys from vehicle to vehicle. If you have the owners manual for your vehicle, it should detail when the belt should be changed.

A good general rule of thumb is that a timing belt should be changed every 60,000 to 75,000 miles, although some belts are designed to last up to 100,000 miles before requiring a change. Regardless though, it is best not to let a belt go more then 80,000 or so. have a good day !!

I think I figured out the way that the oil slinger must go, anyway. Thanks!

Hi there 1Z, I think you should go check it out and see if there is problem but timing belt has to be checked every 20,000 km

the recommended replacement is usually 60 k however i think that belt can go to 100.000 miles, i would not recommend that, because todays driving conditions, the serp belt is a separate belt used to drive the accesories, i.e alt, power steering, a/c and should also be replaced ,however that type of belt can last up to 60.k

Most car manufacturers recommend replacing timing belts after 60,000 miles. I have seen cars go 200,000 on a timing belt. But I wouldn't recommend that. Personally, that Max I would go, even if 99% of your driving is highway, is 80,000 miles. I'm not 100% sure about the sonata, but if it is front wheel drive and your replacing the timing belt, think about replacing the water pump at the same time. That is always good practice to remember.
