nissan micra 2005 - timing chains - nedned

there is a problem with the timing chain on my micra we suspect, camshaft and crankshaft sensor has been changed. I hear this is a very expensive job what i would like to know is if this is a common problem with micras off this year the milage off this car is not high. I had a 1998 micra before and it never gave me any issues until old age took over

yes it can be a problem with this model, especially so if regular oil changes haven't been done.

K12 micras from 2002-5 have a serious problem with worn timing chains and unfortunately not a cheap fix.Mileage does not seem to be a contributary factor as I have seen them worn out at 20k miles.It would appear that this issue has been fixed on later models.hth
