MattV Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 This isn't a typical timing belt question. On my 01 Frontier the water pump has developed some play, it's not leaking yet. I did the timing belt 4 years ago at 106,000 miles, at the time I opted out of doing a new water pump. I guess that decision has come back to haunt me. This belt is 4 years old and has about 37,000 miles on it. Question is should I reuse this belt or replace it since I'll be in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Replace it, because if you re set the tension on it after taking it off, from what I understand the belt stretches slightly over time, you increase the risk of it snapping. For a 30 dollar part, to me, it isn't worth the risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattV Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Yea that's what I figured. I just wanted to see what everyone else thought. Thanks for the input. I guess I'll be hitting up the Nissan dealer tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
