Timing belt OEM Toyota or OEM Volvo
Reviews
What I like about our Hilux is after 200k kms, is timing belt lang napalitan. The durability is impeccable.
Pros: impeccable durability, long-lasting
Vehicle:
Toyota Hilux
Mileage: 200000 km
I’ve seen the genuine Toyota belts go well over 100k before they give up. They were 60k belts years ago that would usually cross 100 and occasionally double the recommended interval before they broke.
Pros: long-lasting, exceeds interval
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 160000 km
That’s what mine cost at my local Toyota dealer, my 06 had 70k miles and never had it done and that $1200 for a peace of mind was Money well spent in my opinion
Pros: peace of mind
Mileage: 112654 km
Anytime I’ve done or seen a Toyota timing belt done at the recommended 90k it looks like it has plenty of life left.
Pros: plenty of life left
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 90000 km
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.
Pros: no belt failure
Vehicle:
Toyota
I know I’m in the UK but a Volvo dealership changed the timing belt, auxiliary belt and kit last year on my V60 D5 and I had change from £300.
Vehicle:
Volvo V60
I have a 2009 C30 with 80k miles and I just did the timing belt and serpentine belts. The timing belt had noticeable cracks and the tensioner was pretty worn out. Better to get it done and spend the money now than have it snap and have a bricked car.
Pros: noticeable cracks, tensioner worn
Vehicle:
Volvo C30
Mileage: 128747 km
The timing belt on the 4.7 engine needs changing every 100k, which is stupid.
Cons: needs frequent changing, stupid
Vehicle:
Toyota Land Cruiser
Mileage: 100000 km
I forced him to take it to my current indy Volvo garage and they gave him a huge lost of everything wrong with it, including a timing belt and fan belt. It had the distinctive whisp/chirp of worn belts.
Pros: worn belts, distinctive chirp
Cons: huge list of problems
Vehicle:
Volvo V50
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.
Cons: hard to install, broke quickly
Mileage: 10000 km
