In this episode I delve deeper than I've ever been, changing the Timing Chain on a Nissan Almera, totally new car to me and the most complex task I've ever undertaken. Here I detail stripping down the engine ready to replace the chain!
Tech Specs: 2000 MY Nissan Almera N16 with QG15DE (89BHP) non-VVT engine
Tools Used:
- 10mm 12mm 14mm sockets on a 3/8 Drive Ratchet for most fixings
- 10 mm Spanner for Oil Pickup fixings
- 3/8 Universal Joint adapter for awkward angles
- 22mm Socket on 1/2 Breaker for Camshaft Bolts
- 22mm Spanner to hold camshafts
- Flathead screwdrivers to lever off the chain housing/remove sump
- Philips head screwdriver to remove Cam Cover screws
- Pliers to remove hose clamps
- I think 24mm socket on 1/2 Drive Breaker to remove Crank Pulley bolt
- OEM jack and wheel nut wrench
- Axlestand

@bakergtr 7 лет назад

George Pettitt thank you very much 😊 I was worried about messing the timing up more than the complexity of the task haha

Your engine is really clean

@bakergtr 7 лет назад

Red Falcon yeah it's just turned over 100k and it's had an easy life, not too sure on service history but it certainly looks in good health

My car stalled this morning driving home. Guess I'll be doing the job sooner rather than later. Was hoping to do it during my holidays from work :=(

What were the symptoms of the timing chain fail? I have an engine management light on on my 2004 Almera dash which when I read it stated "camshaft sensor 1" but when I start the car in the mornings the rev counter bounces a bit for a few seconds before settling down and the car drives well. Could this be early signs of timing chain stretch? 😢

@Hellzing50 5 лет назад

Hello, do you happen to know if the Nissan Almera xgl 1.8 TM 2003 uses the same timing chain? or does it use timing belt?

@bakergtr 5 лет назад

Hi yeah I believe it will use a timing chain

@imrileth6618 5 лет назад

What was the reason for this repair? Was the chain from faulty batch? A friend has 1999 Almera now at 360tkm. Fortunately there has not been need to mess around with the engine yet other than changing fluids and filters of course.

@Rogier7305 7 лет назад

Can you maybe explain exactly where to look for that 10mm stretch? My Almera is giving out a P0300 code and it might be that the chain is stretched, but not sure how i can check that.

@bakergtr 7 лет назад

+Rogier7305 check the tensioner, if the piston protrudes more than 10mm it's likely the chain has stretched, take the cam cover off and shine a torch down the left side where the chain goes down, you will see the tensioner pushing against the guide.

Hi, great job..I am having the same problem with my Almera 2005.. 1.4l. Where are you from? fancy fixing mine :/

@bakergtr 5 лет назад

I’m from north England, sure you can manage it yourself if I did mate!

@PC-uv4pb 4 года назад

Hi. Great video. How long did the job take from start to end. Looking at it myself. Thks

@bakergtr 4 года назад

I did this over the course of a few days I think, though it can be done much quicker, you could do it in less than a day I reckon it’s not too complex

@deborahomojoye2624 5 лет назад

Hello. This is a pretty good explanation. I have a 2001 Nissan Almera. During the routine check, a P1111 code was detected(Intake timing valve solenoid bank 1). I've been looking for where it is located but can't see it. Please, where is it located?

@bakergtr 4 года назад

Hi I’m not too sure, it’s been a long time since I had this car now so can’t check unfortunately

@iljicmatteo 7 лет назад

Hello where is crankshaft sensor? i have Nissan almera 2001 1,5 16v 66kw

@bakergtr 7 лет назад

Hi, I think its on the gearbox side of the block, I've not had to fiddle with it, but I think I remember reading its around that area :)

@iljicmatteo 7 лет назад

Do you have any pic(photo) for crankshaft sensor (location in engine)? I do not know much about cars.thanks you for answer :)

@bakergtr 7 лет назад

I found this picture, its next to the brace and below the starter on the back of the engine underneath the intake manifold - img.wonderhowto.com/img/14/68/63475289902252/0/remove-crankshaft-sensor-nissan-sentra.1280x600.jpg

@willdatsun 8 лет назад

maybe it is possible without removing sump?

@bakergtr 8 лет назад

no unfortunately you need to get the oil pickup off to be able to get the chain cover off as the oil pump is contained in the chain cover.

@molotovx864 8 лет назад

Thanks for posting the video! I'm in the process of doing the chain replacement on a 1999 Almera (Pulsar). How did you loosen the Ckankshaft pulley bolt? I'm stuck on that at the moment.

@bakergtr 8 лет назад

No Problem :) To loosen the bolt, I put the car in 5th gear and held the brake pedal down with a stick, once you get it loose it comes right out, same process for tightening too, but be wary of torque specs, which are in the description of part two :)

@molotovx864 8 лет назад

Thanks! I will give it a go.

@partya11night20 6 лет назад

Thank for posting this Vid! but year camera work is pretty bad. I'll be sad when I have to let my Almera Go, the new MOT in France is going to take a lot of 10+ YO cars off the road :(

@bakergtr 6 лет назад

Yeah the MOT rules here are getting ever stricter, sorry for the poor camera work, at the time I couldn’t find a video on it so decided to quickly document it for others :)
