Belt changes and seals

[rebuy]

So I am past due for all belts to be changed. Last time timing belts changed was 200K miles ago and don't know if water pump was changed. This seems to be a part that fails after a belt change. Should I change the water pump?
Do I need one without a cover? What about the oil pump? what is the life expectancy of the oil pump? Just replace seals or what?

What brands do I use? Planning on going to a Toyota dealer to get this done.
I figure they will do the work correctly.

Are they gonna make me buy the parts from them?

I'm on a tight budget and need some help.

Thanks.

Be prepared to spend some bucks

Yeah, getting all that done at a dealership is gonna run at least $1000.

I had my TB and WP done at a SPEEDY muffler shop. I haven't had any trouble yet, so i think it's not rocket science. Use a reputable indie to $$$$ave $$$ome buck$$$

You mentioned it's been 200k miles since the belt was last changed, so I'm guessing it's got close to 300k on it. With that kind of mileage, you want to replace EVERYTHING.

If you want to save money, find an independent shop that will install your parts. Buy the whole kit on eBay, making sure the parts are manufactured by Aisin, who is the OEM supplier to Toyota. One like this one. This way you're getting the same parts you'd get at a dealership. You didn't mention the model year or engine in your Camry, or I could find exactly what you need. Doing it this way should cost about $500 - $600 total.

what about the oil pump? oem parts arent much, you can shop ahead of time. might want to do the crankshaft seal and cam seals

First read through the DIY section and see if that's something you (and maybe a mechanically inclined friend) can handle. You can make special pulley holding tools inexpensively from Home Depot parts.

You can buy OEM parts from eBay (Aircabinman) or 30% off MSRP from TN sponsors like ToyotaPartsMan. Here is a list of what you should consider changing that I compiled from rockauto.com. You can also talk to shops to see if they'll use the parts you bring.
