Nissan Quest

Yet another fine example of A JOB THEY DON'T WANT TO DO, so it's priced accordingly. From start to finish, INCLUDING THIS WEB PAGE, this took me less than 30 minutes.

I suggest the following:

LONG 14mm box wrench

3/8" ratchet with LONG swivel extension, or universal joint

14 mm REGULAR 6 pt socket head (a deep socket is too long for this job).

Jack up car. Support on jack stands. Remove any splash guards who's tabs have no already busted off on your Quest (crappy design).

Untighten with the long box wrench, the 14mm nut from the idler pulley.

Then, from the top, loosen the slackening bolt.

The pulley may be rusted in place a bit -- take a hammer from the bottom and give the bottom of the idler pulley some SQUARE taps...should loosen it up.

Now, if loose enough, remove the belt (if not, slacken more from the top). Remove the belt and replace.

A very nice GoodYear GATORBACK belt runs $12 or so from Checker or any other parts store. This is a 10 minute job, honestly -- for less experienced DIYs, it will take a bit of time, but it's a great job to start learning as it is VERY simple. My guess is Nissan is charging you $80 for 1 hour of labor (no 1/2 hours) and $50+ for the parts + $20 for a smile when you pick it up after leaving your car ALL DAY for them to get to it.

$150 for this job is a total, complete and utter joke. I guess it would be a wee-bit tougher if you are also doing the PS belt, but I checked my PS belt and it is like new with no dryness or cracking, whilst my serpentine (AC/Alternator) was horrible and has been for some time.

take radiator cap off, make sure radiator is full, start the engine let it water circulate for awhile and then open radiator drain slightly just enough to get water and air to come out,drain is located under the radiator. Careful not to burn your hand.Turn off radiator drain and replace radiator cap.

For the 3.3 liter SOHC (Single Over-Head Cam) V6, which came standard on the 2000 Nissan Quest (all models) is as follows:

1-2-3-4-5-6

The distributor has a counter-clockwise rotation (looking down at top). From the front of the vehicle left to right; front to back, the cylinders are 2,4,6;1,3,5.

The bank 1 sensor 1 O2 sensor on a 2006 Nissan Quest is located on the exhaust manifold, upstream of the catalytic converter. It is positioned on the side of the engine that corresponds to cylinder bank 1, which is the side with cylinders 1, 2, and 3. To access it, you may need to lift the vehicle and potentially remove any obstructions in the way.

The Nissan Quest generally requires about 9 to 10 quarts of transmission fluid for a complete fluid change, including the torque converter. However, the exact amount can vary depending on the model year and specific transmission type. It's always best to consult the owner’s manual or a dealership for the precise specifications for your vehicle.

For the 2000 Nissan Quest, the bolt tightening sequence for the transmission pan typically starts from the center and works outward in a crisscross pattern to ensure even pressure distribution. The recommended torque specification for the transmission pan bolts is usually around 8-10 ft-lbs (or 10-14 Nm). Always refer to the specific service manual for your vehicle to confirm the exact sequence and torque values, as they can vary based on the engine and transmission type.

To replace the side mirror on a Nissan Dualis, first, ensure the vehicle is turned off and parked safely. Remove the interior door panel by unscrewing any screws and gently prying it away to access the mirror's wiring and mounting bolts. Disconnect the wiring harness from the old mirror, unscrew the mounting bolts, and carefully detach the mirror. Attach the new mirror by reversing these steps: connect the wiring, secure it with bolts, and reassemble the door panel.

On a 2005 Nissan Quest, the fuel filter is located within the fuel tank as part of the fuel pump assembly. It is not typically accessible for replacement without removing the fuel tank. For maintenance or replacement, it's often recommended to replace the entire fuel pump assembly, which includes the filter. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for specific instructions.

To change the radiator on a Nissan Quest, first, ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the negative battery cable. Drain the coolant by removing the drain plug at the bottom of the radiator, then disconnect the upper and lower radiator hoses, as well as any electrical connections. Remove the mounting bolts or screws securing the radiator, lift it out, and install the new radiator by reversing the process. Finally, refill the cooling system with the appropriate coolant and check for leaks.

To remove the intake plenum, first ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery. Then, remove any components obstructing access, such as air intake hoses, electrical connectors, and vacuum lines. Unscrew the bolts securing the plenum to the manifold, and carefully lift it off, taking care not to damage any gaskets or seals. Finally, inspect the surface for debris and clean it before reassembly.

To reset the odometer reading on a 2004 Nissan Quest, you typically need to disconnect the car battery to reset the system, as odometers are not designed to be reset manually due to legal regulations. However, if you're looking to reset the trip odometer, simply press and hold the trip reset button, usually located on the instrument panel, until the display resets to zero. Always consult your owner's manual for specific instructions related to your vehicle model.

On a 1995 Nissan Quest, the spare tire is typically located underneath the vehicle, secured to the underside of the rear cargo area. To access it, you'll need to use the tire jack and tool provided in the vehicle to lower the spare tire from its storage position. Make sure to consult the owner's manual for specific instructions and safety precautions.
