MadManMike Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 (edited) Hi My name is Mike, This is a great website!.. I ran across it while searching google for some pathfinder questions. I just bought my first pathfinder. It's a 1995 with 105k on the original engine. -Roof rack -MoonRoof -Leather interior -Heated Seats -window tint ( too dark for my liking ) Only thing wrong with it is the wiring for accessories, looks like they had an after market security system installed that they removed (in a hurry ) before sale. Here are some pics: Interior: Rear Interior: I am sure I will have tons of Q's for you guys once the weather gets warm enough to work on my pathy Thanks for letting me join! -Mike Edited January 14, 2007 by MadManMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the way you said "Timing Belt".... It's just that you're right at the mileage interval for replacement, if the P.O. hadn't done it.

MadManMike Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 It's just that you're right at the mileage interval for replacement, if the P.O. hadn't done it. Ahh okay, Well I just asked for a quote from my local Japanese auto repair too replace the timing chain. I also noticed it's missing the AC belt.. so I will replace that as well. What else should I have replaced? Probably the water pump eh? I don't want to spend too much... buying the car was painful enough on my wallet but I figured I would have to spend about around $700 or so for maintenance as with any used car. Thanks for your help and Kind comments/welcomes... and the timing belt tip... I would have though that with the V6 they would have been made with timing chains. My brother has a 86 Toyota 4 runner that's timing belt (or chain) got worn out and loose and ate through the housing causing all of his coolant to leak out and resulting in a blown head gasket. So I know all too well how important replacing a timing belt can be -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdpathy Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Welcome, BTW the pathy engines are inference? something like that, so blowing a timing belt usually destroys the engine, so I would look into that. -study- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedPath88 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Welcome Mike If you are not 100% sure that belt has recently been changed... change it. The $20-30 belt (part cost) is not worth the entire engine -thnkboutit- The engine is of the interference design and if the belt goes then the valves and the pistons meet.. not at all a pleasant thought An 86 Yota has a chain, it's likely that the one or both of the plastic guides broke allowing the chain to rub against the aluminum timing cover. Let your brother know that metal guides are available as a future option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
