    what size motor is in your car and is it a DOHC (dual overhead cam)? or a single cam/

  • John McNary Apr 06, 2014

    It is chain driven. The Sentra SL only has 1 Engine available, which is a Dual OverHead Cam with variable intake cam timing. The SE-R Sentra has a 2.5 liter, Chain Driven Cam.

It is quite definitely a timing chain driven Camshaft setup. I've replaced cylinder heads on these engines. There is no "plastic" timing belt on them.

I have 2008 nissan centra does it have timing belt or chain do i need to replace it

A failure in the timing belt will cause the engine to suddenly stop. This means that your car will suddenly stop running and you will not be able to get it started again. This is when you should change the timing belt.

Replace timng belt

well maybe there was some mis-communication there , nissan stopped using timing belts in sentra's and actually most all models in 2000 , maybe they were telling you that your serpentine belt needed changed ? but to answer your question , you do not have a timing belt in your 2002 nissan sentra . its a chain . thanks
