This needs sorting regarding these comments. We had previously a 1,2L Motor (Chain) but now have the 1,3L Motor and the question is related to this. Mike has stated “Belt” and this could well be as it is another newer design Motor. Here are a couple of attachments from data found to refer too - Dave 🤨

No Link just attachments ! :

Lewis, from previous posts it is obvious that you have a vast technical knowledge on Nissan’s and I am not questioning that. Do not take this as a criticism, but are you saying that you have stripped down already the New 1,3L Motor, if Yes that does not sound good for us 1,3L Owners with such a new improved design - Dave 😉

180000 miles before change would indicate a chain. Belts are usually not much more than a third of that before requiring replacement.
