black_widow87 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Mine has just arrived, interesting that some stamping has been ground down on the casting though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagman Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 mine is the same - often OEM go to manufactures and say they want a timing belt …..say 250.000 for the assembly line and 20000 as spares for dealerships . Deal is done at say £10 a belt . They retail them for say £75 each . But they insist the belt has a length no other car uses , and it has a logo ,and they get sole supply for 5 years . After the 5 years the aftermarket can buy them for £25 each and sell for £50 . But the logo is removed . The water pump is cast and has a logo/part number or such specific to Toyota …..so they etch out the logo . They have to do this due to people …….your water pump has destroyed my engine type claims against OEM dealerships Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
