Hi there, I am new to this forum (actually, I have just joined). I won a 2003 Toyota Highlander. I have it since 92,000 miles. It now has 166,000 miles. I am divided between spending money on maintenance (it needs a new timing belt and air conditioning is not working). I have just replaced the...

I have already put in countless hours and money into this vehicle (replaced all Spark Plugs, PCV Valve, VVT-Solenoid (Bank 1), bought new timing belt that I'm going to install, and got a bunch of tools for the jobs) and don't really want to go and spend more money if I don't really need to. I...

Hi! I'm looking into possibly purchasing a vehicle from a trusted family member. The car runs great and has never had any major repairs done. The only issue is what i can only describe as a headlight electrical "short". The headlights sometimes work perfectly fine, other times not at all. There...

I just purchased a one owner 2007 Toyota Highlander 3.3 v6 with 63,000 miles. Should I replace the timing belt and water pump now, and if so, what's the best kit to buy? I've been driving VW for the past several years. I am looking at buying a Dayco kit from Auto Zone.

Hello my friends. I bought my 96 Camry about 5 months ago. Its a 5sFE with about 220,xxx miles. The timing belt area was loud when I bought it, and I intended to replace it soon. Other than that it ran fine until last week it suddenly died pulling out of the driveway and turns over now but wont...

We may be acquiring a 2003 Avalon from the estate of a wealthy couple on Long Island (via a friend who inherited the vehicle). Unfortunately, it's been parked for the last 2 years. We're told that the car was regularly maintained but we don't have any details at all. The key question: Since...

I've been trying to keep up on my mother's car for about 6 months now. Long story short, there's noise coming from behind my timing belt cover and based off of receipts from the last owner who "garage maintained" the vehicle for the most part, at 80k miles a Toyota certified garage deemed off of...

I had the classic lifter problem, and replaced the bucket shims on the front bank of my 1mz-fe. I replaced the timing belt assembly with a kit from Rock Auto. The belt was epic in its resistance in going on properly (that is, like up the teeth with the appropriate marking on the belt for the...

I am trying to install a new timing belt on my 1999 Camry LE 2.2 liter engine and it has been a long, long time since I have done any work like this. I was having trouble getting the marks right, so I read online somewhere that there is supposed to be a timing mark on the oil pump case and the...

Guys/gals, Looking to find a reputable mechanic in the Bay Area, preferably near Downtown Oakland; however, I'm happy to drive anywhere for a good recommendation. Looking to have the timing belt done and I do understand how expensive the job can be, but I'm at 150k + and the previous owner has...

Hi all, I have a 2005 Highlander with the 3.3L V6 engine. I'm due for a 6 month oil change and at 91k miles, so I'm also due for some significant preventative maintenance. The first quotes I got for timing belt replacement were expensive, so I've been researching this issue on the forum. I'm now...

I wanted to find out if it's desirable to do a full change over of water pump, seals, etc., vs. just changing the timing belt itself for a 4 cyl. 99 Camry. It's at 109,000 milies, and had a new belt put in at 25,000 for some reason. I would like to keep the repair simple. Thanks for any feedback.

Well, I thought I had a bad timing belt at 125,000 miles. I was returning from a long drive at gentle freeway speeds, and began to hear a noise that sounded like a belt beginning to loose a cord. Not real noisy, but 40 miles later it was making a racket. I had no trouble with the engine as I...

1) Is the 2006 LE 3.0 V6 a non-interference engine? 2) Is the timing belt service absolutely necessary at 90k miles? I've read in several different places contradictory information on the interference/non-interference of this engine/year and don't know which is true. Thanks

Hi - I own a 2008 Yaris with 69,500 miles on it. The timing belt hasn't been changed, but I was wondering when it should be replaced? I'm taking my car in for an oil change, should I just ask them how it looks and rely on them to tell me when to change it?
