ONly sign I would use is if it gives a mileage in the maintenance portion of your owners manual. Most times it is timing belts that need replaced at 80K miles or whatever but that isn't necessarily the case with timing chains.

No other real sign on when to change them other than when the fail and when that happens you jump from replacing the belt/chain to replacing the engine.

Good luck

SOURCE: upgrading nissan almera dipped headlights?

Have you taken your Altima to a dealership in a while? There was a recall on the 05 Altima for misalligned headlights...thus resulting in poor lighting quality...this could be the reason as well...

It is a timing chain, and 100,000 miles is a good time to change it.

SOURCE: I need to know how

I really hope you know what you're getting into.....Big & detailed job. I went on and posted the instructions as far as removal and installation of the timing chain. There is a whole other section that you need as far as removing the oil pan and strainer but way to much to post on here at this point. Anyhow, it's a 2 piece oil pan and just to let you know alot of the parts like the timing chain cover, oil pan, the cover on the timing chain cover does not have gaskets and Nissan doesn't either. You have to use some RTV and don't go cheap, get the good stuff because all the work that is involved in this you don't want to have to repeat because of a leak. Also the oil pump is in the timing chain cover and Nissan has had some problems in the past with them. I would suggest going online and finding a new oil pump that comes pre-installed in a new timing chain cover. You can pick the whole assembly including the cover for about $150.00 and worth it. Wish you were here I have one ready to go. Anyhow, email me at [email protected] and what I can do is send you the engine management section of my service manual in a PDF so you have the info on the oil pan removal.....You need it. It will also have all the stuff I am posting below so you can make it big enough to see or even print out if need be and no there isn't a cost for it. I'm in a good mood....lol. I hope this helps. Here is the timing chain instructions for you.

My 2004 NISSAN Almera Tino manual starts but when I accelerate, the fire goes off.

Question edited for full 'year make model'.
Question moved to Nissan.

You need a mechanic with a scan tool to see why. A pro grade scanner can record what happens at the moment it shuts off.

It appears to be a known issue.

Nissan Almera wont start with code P0345

Why would anyone replace those parts?

I guess the car was never tested to find any problems

No more to say

Common sense-- tells you that not all those
parts failed at one time or any at all

I replaced timing chain wont start

Confirm the timing marks were aligned properly by manually rotate the crankshaft up until piston number one is on a compression stroke, try to do this twice and make sure that the timing marks should be aligned accordingly with piston number one in top dead centre.

How to replace a nissan almera timing chain

Hi all it is with out doubt a major blunder by Nissan to fit a Renault timing chain mechanism to the almera and other Nissan engines. I have dealt with many a customer with an engine light on hoping that a crankshaft sensor would sort the issue out, Nissan will charge in excess of 750 euro to replace the timing kit and having it replaced you might hope to get 120k from the car well I have come across engines only covering 30k buyer chain failure, beware if you are doing a chain replacement your self use (oe) parts often spurious parts don't have the paint marks on the chain to aid setting the timing ,

Almera

What did you use to clean the MAF?
You may have damaged the sensor.
I would suggest a used MAF assembly be installed and use only approved cleaners next time and be gentle when cleaning electronics.
