r2ck_p Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi guys, I service the Supra myself annually with fresh oil, plugs, oil filter, air filter etc... However I wanted to get an idea at what kind of mileage other items need changing like fan belt, cam belt, gearbox oil, and anything else that is a must. I have tried searching this on the forum but with no success. It would be great if anyone can suggest the typical things that need changing outside of the basics listed above and at what kind of mileage they should be changed. PS - I gather my fan should be on all the time when then engine is running as its pulley driven? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Have a look in the online Workshop manuals, go on the forum homepage then click on repair manuals top left of screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2ck_p Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Have spent over an hour looking through a few of the manuals but no luck. All I need to know if how often the cam belt / fan belt should be changed on the Supra TT. If anyone knows it would be appreciated.

Dnk Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Cam belt is something like 5 years or 60,000 miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 re the fan belt you can assess it's condition visually, look where it passes the tensioner (or twist the top bit towards you) and you can directly look at the ridged side of the belt. If there are numerous cracks in the ridges ie every few mm then it's time for replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 The handbook service schedule is in the atatchement here . To find out what it in the routine A and B services someone will need to scan the handbook and post it. I have done this myself way back, but I can't find it now using the search so I guess its been pruned out. If you have modded your car you can tear this up though and make up your own schedule.

r2ck_p Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Cheers for the replies. I checked through all my paperwork and noticed the cam belt was done in 2006 at 64K miles, the car is now on 77K. Can't see that the fan belt has ever been changed so going to visually inspect it at the weekend. If it needs replacing would you suggest sticking with the OEM Toyota one?

Scooter Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 If it needs replacing would you suggest sticking with the OEM Toyota one? Part of me says yes because it'll do 10's of thousands of miles on the one belt, but I believe it is relatively pricey (a dim and distance memory say possibly 70+?) and so an ebay gates 6PK1938 belt for £21-22 might get my money...
