Anytime I’ve done or seen a Toyota timing belt done at the recommended 90k it looks like it has plenty of life left.
I've never seen a Toyota or Lexus have a belt failure. The other components idler(s) and water pump are usually the cause of catastrophic timing failure.
For my A3 8V 2.0TDI I paid 575€ to change the timing belt + water pump in Portugal.
Just replaced the timing belt on a 25 year old Sienna with 150k miles. Almost pristine. No cracks, very little wear. I was surprised.
I own a 2006 Toyota Sequoia. Bought it brand new. We’ve had very little if any issues with it.
I recently changed a 22 year old timing belt with 230,000 miles from a Lexus gs 400
My 96 Camry 265k has the original belt and pump.
I was in a similar situation on my LS430. I saw the sticker under the hood that was done 130k miles prior to the current mileage. The belt was perfectly fine and had most likely been replaced since. If it’s a genuine Aisin/Toyota belt it’s probably still good. I’ve seen these go far and beyond 10yr/100k mile mark
I have a 2001 Lexus LS 430. It had about 215,000 when I got the timing belt replace. It was the original and was starting to crack. If my 21 year old belt made it to 215k and didn’t break yet. Thats when I saw mine was old and cracked.
I experienced this as well. Bought a kit and the belt was sooooo hard to get on. Like I knew it wasn’t going to be easy but man it was hard to get on. The belt broke after less than 10k miles. Everything was marked genuine, etc.
