A buyer's guide to used Nissan NP300 timing chain
No two timing chains are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
- State whether it's petrol or diesel
- State the engine code if known

Fitment questions
Does the Nissan NP300 Navara have a timing chain or a timing belt?
It depends on the engine. The 2.3-litre twin-turbo diesel engine (engine code YS23DDT) fitted to the NP300 Navara from 2016 onwards uses a timing chain, not a belt, so there is no scheduled replacement interval in the same way. If your NP300 has a different or older engine variant, confirm with your breaker whether a chain or belt is fitted before ordering.
Will a timing chain from an earlier Navara D40 fit my NP300 Navara?
Almost certainly not without verification — the NP300 Navara (D23 platform, 2016 onwards) uses the 2.3-litre YS23DDT engine, which is a different unit from the engines found in the D40 generation, so the timing chain components are not the same. The engine code is the critical matching point here, and the two generations use mechanically distinct powerplants. Always supply your engine code and registration to the breaker so they can confirm compatibility before purchasing a used chain.
Does it matter whether my NP300 is a single cab, king cab or double cab when sourcing a timing chain?
No — body style makes no difference to timing chain fitment on the NP300 Navara, as the chain is an internal engine component that is identical across cab configurations sharing the same engine code. What matters is that your vehicle has the YS23DDT 2.3-litre diesel engine, regardless of whether it is a single, king or double cab. Confirm your engine code with your breaker to make sure you are matched to the correct chain kit.
Does the trim level — for example Acenta, Tekna or N-Guard — affect which timing chain I need?
No, trim level does not affect timing chain fitment on the NP300 Navara — the Acenta, Tekna, N-Guard and any other trim variants all share the same underlying engine if they have the same engine code, so the timing chain is identical across trims. You may find cosmetic differences between breaker-supplied vehicles such as different interior or exterior parts, but these are irrelevant to the chain itself. Match on engine code, not trim badge.
I have a 2016 NP300 Navara — will a timing chain from a 2022 model fit?
The NP300 Navara has been in production in the UK from 2016, and while the core YS23DDT engine family has remained consistent across the range, there may have been ancillary or minor specification changes during that production run. The engine code is your most reliable guide, so supply your full engine code and registration to your breaker and ask them to confirm against the donor vehicle before purchasing a used chain or chain kit.
What details should I give a breaker when asking for a used NP300 timing chain?
The most important detail is your engine code, which you can find on your V5C or by running a VIN check — for most UK NP300 Navaras this will be the YS23DDT 2.3-litre twin-turbo diesel, but always verify rather than assume. You should also provide your registration number, the year of your vehicle, and whether it is two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, as the breaker may need this to cross-reference the donor vehicle accurately. Never rely on the model name alone, as engine code is what determines timing chain compatibility.
