Does a 2001 Nissan Maxima have a chain or a timing belt???

im sure it has a belt

my husband thinks it is a belt.
hope it helps.

Chain. so you dont have to change it for a long time.

If you want to be 100% sure, look at the front of your engine (where the accesory belts located) and if you dont see a plastic cover in between the belts and engine it means it is a chain.

it is got a chain (3.0 liter V6, right?) the only recent model nissans with a belt are frontiers, xterras, and pathfinder is (3.3 liter engines) hope this helps :)

the max has a timing chain. it lasts forever.

timing chain good for life //////////////////////
