I don't know weather a Q45 has a chain or a belt but anyways the point of the thread looking through the paper and I see a 93 Q45 for $1500 and it needs a timing belt. I'm thinking about buying this car if I can get the money together for it that is if it is not that hard/expensive to get it running. I want to change the timing belt myself but I was wandering how hard it is or is it one of those deals you say **** it and have someone replace it for ya.
Thanks for the help in advanced guys

Timing chain or belt on a Q45
The Q uses a Timing Chain and the problem is probably with the Chain Guides, not the chain itself.
Issues regarding the guide failures are well documented on the site, I'd highly suggest you take time to review them before even thinking about buying that car. It probably needs a new motor, in place of a chain.
Good luck.

Not Chain -- Chains, one for each bank and one for the oil pump. If the car has problems now , won't run or has a knock forget it. That's the reason it's $1500.Japenese pull engines are available for around $1600 not counting the xtra parts and time to get them ready for an install........Keep looking like to see u as a Q owner. Much help available here ..............:thumbup
