Icapall: Installation of a timing belt must be done only by a professional who knows the job and has the proper tools. Try calling one Mr Abdus Samad at 5535 2549. He is a very experienced car mechanic who has been in Doha for quite a long time and see if he could help you out.

Icapall: A timing belt is one of those spare parts just like the brake pads and the brake shoe I would never recommend buying from any place except the agents of the vehicle. The genuine one from the agents may be somewhat costlier, but its worth the money.

Redelmo15: I AM NOT LYING, OKAY. Before you make such a WILD allegation you should have stopped by and thought what made me state that cost or you should have asked me. But by stating that I am a LIAR. you have just reflected the very low quality of person you are. Now let me tell you how I came to that price. Just recently my friend who has a Nissan Tiida had a problem with his car aircon. The technicians who checked his car advised the compressor needed to be replaced and THEY stated the cost of the original one would be around QR 5000. They are in this line of business. It is only this basis I just guessed the cost of the Altima may be a bit higher. Did you see me giving him the cost of the other items? The answer is NO! However, I cannot blame you for your thinking. Small minds think small. If you don't like my frank, straight and true reply, just gulp it with a pinch of salt.

Bunny, you are right. Some cars have a timing chain, and others have a timing gear.

The price for new compressors is around $300, about QAR 1,000. Even if you add 100% profit margin it still would cost only QAR 2,000.

thank you redelmo15 for your honest reply...thought the other guys info was a bit expensive. as for the timing belt I was told by the mechanic that the Nissan Altima 2009 has no timing belt that's why I ask. don't think its a stupid question. thanks again redelmo51

He is not lying, redelmo. He is convinced to know everything. He believes in that.

Bunny: A brand new aircon compressor for Nissan Altima is going to be costly possibly in the range of QR 6000. Since you are looking forward to change the clutch, you will most likely need to change the pressure plate also and you should check this out with your mechanic. As to your questions if the car has a timing belt, all cars have a timing belt. Your question was just like asking if cars have wheels!
