VIL Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Thinking of doing another timing belt change. Any advice on where to source the parts and which make of belt to go for. Plus how much should I expect to pay a garage for a belt change or how many hours does it take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 approximately £200-£250 iirc, including toyota belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daston Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 lol was gunn a say. I just had mine done and my mechanic had a lot of problems removing my cam pulley in the end he needed to get a bit air gun to get it off. Anyway the good news is it cost me £280 this was for a full service (belt and fluids) plus installing my Tein Super streets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIL Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Cheers Guys.....so the best thing to do is get a belt and tensioner from Toyota and as the job is relatively straight forward my ususal garage can do the change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steviekid Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 get a belt and tensioner from Toyota and as the job is relatively straight forward my ususal garage can do the change? I think Ric was talking about the drive belt when he said it was easy and to get a tensioner. I didn't get the tensioner changed when I got the cam belt done. I certainly wouldn't call it a straight forward job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 no the cam pulley can be a right sod to get off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steviekid Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 It's here. I was going to attempt this but got it done when the car was mot'd. After seeing it being done I'm very glad I didn't have a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
