The Nissan Path

Changed out, for the second time, my serpentine belt on my 06 PF / 142k miles / V6. I spun the pulleys around on the belt tensioner and idler pulley and they both seemed like they had a little play and looseness. Gonna replace next week, but was wondering could they cause the sound that I am thinkin...

Please let us know if that helped ...

im seriously thinking about doing mine myself. If I could find a step by step video showing me how to do it, I would.

Can the oil pressure difference from an after market oil filter make this noise?

I only hear it on acceleration

dawgn86

If my dealer would do mine for that I would let him

Wow. That don't look good. Were you moving the tire around?

dawgn86

Be sure you can open the fill plug before draining

dawgn86

So the Nissan dealer said the whine was caused by the non OEM oil filter and not the timing chain pensioners?

Hi Andy

There is another tool I saw that went around the hydraulic tensioners and nylon guides...did you use that or have to use to remove and replace those tensioners?

I change mine every 5k miles and use Mobile 1.

the oil is still usually golden brown in color..never dark or black

hope thats a good sign

I have put new u joints in. Rotated and balanced tires. Changed atf and rear diff fluid and still have a slight vibration at speeds 50 and up

What else can I check

dawgn86

I just changed mine. I got them from Amazon, shipped to my house for about $50. I went back with original from factory.

You can change them without removing the intake

just drained my 08 Frontier and color was still golden brown. 65k miles

dawgn86

just did my second drain and fill on my 06 Path and my first on Frontier..easy as changing the oil.

I used Valvoline Max Life...no problems at all.

I searched the forum and found many threads about the timing chain problem, but I didnt see anything about if it is covered under warranty until a certain period.

Im sure my 06 PF has it, but my son has an 08 Frontier with 64k miles with same engine and I can hear a faint whining noise.

Any ideas?
