2000 Maxima SE ?
Hi,
I just purchased a 2000 Maxima SE and was wondering at what mileage are you recommand to change the Timing Chain and water pump? The car currently has 94,000 also besides the belts and plugs what other parts are a good thing to change at this mileage.
My SES light is currently on and the previous owner spoke about the O2 sensor causing that. He said he replaced it but still stayed on could this be?
Any help will be appreciated.

Nice purchase. Ill be selling my 2002 with 111k miles on it soon for like 8k so I hope you got a deal. Anyways I believe the timing belt is lifetime but a dealer told me 125k. The water pump i guess when it goes it goes.Or have them done together.If your not hearing noise on start up you should be fine
It's the name of my car..

The ECU needs to be reset to make the SES light go off if he fixed what was wrong with it. Unplugging the battery will not work on that car you will have to get a code reader or something to reset it. My moms SES light was on in her 2000 maxima because of the O2 sensor and the only way we could get the ECU to reset was to get a code reader. As far as the timing chain goes, they are supposed to last well over 100K miles.

Wrong.
Unplug BOTH battery terminals TOUCH them together and push the break. You need to discharge the entire car and ECU dong this will COMPLETLY Discrage any electricty in the car and ECM. SES isnt stored in any ROM on the ECM therefore it is reset when the car is started back up.
