Replacing timing belt and Serpentine belt on 1999 Mercury Villager?

I have a 1999 Mercury Villager and have changed oil religiously and have never had a single problem out of this van.It has 165k miles on it and the timing belt and serpentine belt have never been changed.My question is does this van have 2 seperate belts? Timing an serpentine ? and approx how much would each cost to have changed at a service station?(I gave it to my daughter and i need to do a few things to it to help her out) Thanks for help.Replacing timing belt and Serpentine belt on 1999 Mercury Villager?It doesn't have a timing belt. It uses a chain which is not a scheduled replacement item.



It does use a serpentine belt for the alternator, AC and pumps. The belt costs around 40 to 50 bucks, and installation would be about the same.



Have you ever had plugs and wires replaced? what about filters? A coolant (antifreeze) flush and fill is probably a good idea as well.Replacing timing belt and Serpentine belt on 1999 Mercury Villager?This is a NISSAN engine. EXCELLENT!! BUt, you must use ONLY approved coolant form the dealership, NOT the green stuff. Nissan makes it's OWN coolant. Use that!!! If you have been smart enough to use synthetic oil, you will have a keeper for YEARS to come!!
