★ Top Answer
The Nissan NV200 comes equipped with a timing chain, which is built to last the lifetime of the vehicle without needing replacement like timing belts typically do between 60,000-100,000 miles. Unlike belts, chains are more durable, do not crack or dry out, and can even enhance fuel efficiency. Chains are also better protected as they operate inside the engine. However, there is a risk of chains breaking or tensioners stretching, leading to serious engine issues. If you notice metal shavings in the oil, experience misfires, or hear a rattling noise while idling, it's essential to have the timing chain inspected by a mechanic.
