Timing Belt

[redtigerrocks]

When do you guys recommend changing the Timing belt for a 94 V6 XLE? According to the little sticker on my car, the last time the belt was changed was back in 2001 at 101,xxx miles. It currently has 159,xxx miles .

The manual states nothing about belt mileage. Belt manufacturers recommend changing the belt for this year at 60K miles.

The timing belt on the I4 LE in my sig has only been changed ONCE in it's life......uhh, I think it might be time for a belt change?

Normally The Belt You Get From Toyota Dealer Can Out Last Up To 80k..this Depends On Your Driving Conditional..for Example, If You Drive On Dirt Road/live In Mountant/drive Hard Condition....then You Better Get Replace At 60k...year 94, Normally Replace Belt At 60k...but I Know If You Drive Normal Conditional, The Belt Can Last To 80-90k... When I Replaced My Timebelt 96 Toyota Camry 4 Cylinder At 60k With Normal Drive Conditional, The Timebelt Still In Good Shape And Can Last Another 20k Miles More Without Problem...money Was Your Problem, I Keep Drive The Car For Another 20k Without Problem..then Start Saving $$ On Your Next Timebelt..

If You Do, The Following Items You Will Need
1) Timebelt, Ac Belt, Power Steering Belt, Cam Seal, Crank Seals, Water Pump And Old Pump Gasket.. Do All At One Time To Save Yourself $$ For Free Trouble Down The Road.

Is there indication that the T-Belt change sticker is a Toyota sticker? if so, the belt would likely be bought from dealer in 2001.

Since 1999 the Timing belts were made of H(S)BN Rubber which would be usable for around 100,000 miles before replacement.

1996camry meant oil pump gasket not "old pump" , there is also the oil pump drive seal, tensioner and two idler bearings to consider.

[1996camry]

yes, oil pump seals. Sorry for the confusion. If you want to know if Toyota belt... Look at the belt..it has part # writing on the outside of the belt...for example part # xxxx-xxxxx something then you know it's toyota part.

hope this help you out...
