I am approaching 105K on my 99 Quest. I know the manual calls for a timing belt change at this interval. Some have recommended changing the water pump at the same time. Was wondering what to expect to pay for this job. I guess I will have the plugs changed also..hope they can get them out.

If you do it yourself I paid $80 for the water pump, timing belt and 3 belts for the AC, PS and Alternator. The job was fairly easy for those with mechanical experience. Definatley not for the novice. Timing marks are critical on the 3.3 timing belt. I replaced my spark plugs at 134K, they squeaked and resisted coming out but they did with no proplem. Replaced with NGK Iridium spark plugs. Expect to pay $300 to $400 on a timing belt replacement.

99 Nissan Quest w/ac 134K: Fan blower resister blows after 3 days replacement. I suspect it over heats from a short somewhere. Nissan dealership suggested could be something in the rear air controls or the second resistor for the rear (where is that?) The ac does not work, hot air does not reach the rear vents. Has anyone gone through the blower resistor problem and found faults causing the resistor to blow?

Replying to: toomanyfumes (Jan 12, 2007 7:23 pm)  Let me search around and see if I can find a thread with more info and I'll try to edit this within the 30 minute window. [edit] Ok, the rotten hose I keep thinking about is the BPT hose connected to the EGR and that'll flip the CEL on but doesn't cause a coolant smell. These two posts talk about leaking coolant hoses and clamps (and the first one segues into timing belts, conveniently enough ). motonation, "Nissan Quest/Mercury Villager problems" #2158, 22 Nov 2005 6:18 pm kymike, "Nissan Quest/Mercury Villager problems" #1656, 6 Dec 2004 10:32 am Steve, Host SUVs & Speed Shop
