Hi
I don't have an Almera but my daughter does. I know her 2003 1.5S needs a timing chain. I now have a FSH manual courtesy of Andrew Michael so I am a bit more familiar with the car.
Problem is the pictures don't look like my engine! Perhaps someone could tell me what engine she has got.
The camshaft sensor in at the rear of the engine and not at the front (OS). It has what I thought was the intake valve timing control at the rear of the rocker cover by the oil filler yet the plate on the front of the engine is flat and neither it nor the rocker cover is shaped for a VVT sprocket.
Does that mean it is not VVT and if so what is the electrical part by the oil filler.
I have attached 3 pics to show what I mean
