Fitment questions
Does the Nissan NV300 have a timing chain or a timing belt?
The Nissan NV300 uses 1.6-litre dCi diesel engines (shared with the Renault Trafic platform it is based on), and these engines use a timing belt, not a timing chain. If you are searching for a timing chain for the NV300, this part does not exist on this model — you need a timing belt kit instead. Search for a cam belt or timing belt for the NV300, and make sure to confirm the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check so the breaker can supply the correct belt and tensioner components.
I've been quoted a timing chain for my NV300 — is the breaker correct?
It is very unlikely — the 1.6 dCi diesel engines fitted to the NV300 are belt-driven, not chain-driven, so a timing chain is not the right part for this vehicle. It is possible there has been a misunderstanding between chain and belt, or the wrong part has been looked up. Go back to the breaker with your engine code (found on the V5 or via a VIN check) and ask specifically for a timing belt kit to make sure you get the correct component.
Does a timing chain from a Renault Trafic or Vauxhall Vivaro fit a Nissan NV300?
The NV300, Trafic, and Vivaro of the same generation share the same platform and 1.6 dCi engine family, but none of these vehicles use a timing chain in that engine — they all use a timing belt. So the cross-compatibility question does not apply to a chain; what you should be sourcing is a timing belt, and belt kits from the equivalent Trafic or Vivaro generation may well be compatible, but always confirm against your engine code with the breaker before buying.
Does trim level affect which timing chain I need for the NV300?
Trim level — whether your NV300 is a base Combi or a higher specification variant — has no bearing on the timing drive components, as the engine is the same across trims. However, as explained above, the NV300 does not use a timing chain at all; the engine is belt-driven regardless of trim. Focus on your fuel type and engine code when speaking to a breaker, and ask for a timing belt rather than a chain.
My NV300 is a 2020 plate — can I use a timing chain from an older 2017 NV300?
The Nissan NV300 was introduced to the UK market in 2016, and across its production run it has used the 1.6 dCi diesel engine with a timing belt, not a timing chain, so this question does not apply in practice. If you need the timing drive components from a 2017 van for a 2020 van, what you should be cross-referencing is the timing belt kit, not a chain. Confirm both engine codes with the breaker to check compatibility before purchasing any used parts.
