Hi All,
Well first off.......I have a 1992 Nissan Maxima GXE
automatic............139,000km on it. I bought this car from an elderly
lady.....at 117,700 km.............I love it!
I got all the service records for her but I can't see anything for timing
belt replacement..............
I called a Nissan dealer and they suggested while doing the timing belt to
do also the water pump. I have heard this and agree. Now I can get a
jobber water pump fairly cheap.........$40Cdn + taxes.........compared to
over $104cdn+taxes at the dealer...............the parts guy at the dealer
said better to go with a "new" nissan water pump cause jobbers are not
reliable...........
Does anyone have experience with this???? Same kinda deal for the timing
belt..........I am getting it for 1/3 of the price..............
Please anyone who can tell me whether it's ok to go jobber or better to go
dealer.........I would appreciate the help..................
Thanks

the nissan parts are of better quality and the marks on the timing belt are
guarenteed to be in the right place as compared to the aftermarket ones
where the marks can be in the wrong spot.
