    2010 Nissan Navara timing chain rattles

    Nissan Nissan Advice Nissan Navara Nissan Navara Advice Nissan Navara 2010

    My 2010 Nissan Navara 4WD ute has done 114,000 km and has been serviced by my A-Grade mechanic all its life. The timing chain has started to rattle. When I called the dealer I bought it from the service manager said that because it was not serviced by Nissan it had no Nissan service history, but my mechanic was a Nissan mechanic for years. It seems to be the excuses have started right from the first phone call, so as to be able to knock back a claim. A timing chain should not start to fail at 114,000 km. What can I do?

    The dealer is telling you that there is no record of it being serviced by a Nissan dealer, which would seem to be correct given that you have had an independent mechanic do the servicing. I would agree that a timing chain shouldn't be worn and rattling at such low kilometres, but I doubt you'll get anywhere with Nissan on this. If you feel you need to follow through on this call Nissan's Customer Service Centre (phone: 1800 035 035).
