| I own a 2005 nissan altima with only 51,570 miles and i noticed a strange sound coming from the engine. i use top grade gas and have had the oil changed every 3000-3500 miles. i took it to a shop and found that it was the tentioner for the timing belt. have he got to the item he showed me where the hard plastic clip had busted off and had the allowed the timing belt to become sloppy. thank god i had a extended warranty so it was covered however, now i notice i am using excessive oil. i only now have 51,880 miles and had to add 1 qt oil. in checking with web sites it is a common problem with the pre-cats causing issues and nissan is aware but will not do a recall on the veichle. it is a design flaw and should be covered by nissan. | |||
