i have a 2006 4runner with 33,XXX miles when should i be changing the timing belt and water pump?
At what mileage interval should you change your timing belt?
I had just asked my stepdad that question the other day. He is an ASE certified mechanic and has plenty of certificates for knowing why and how and what they do. Your supposed to change them every 60,000 miles. Both of them too. Its supposed to be because after awhile they stretch and get wet which causes more of a stretch, so if you replace them every 60,000 miles, you should be good. They might be a pain depending on your car, but like you got an suv so it shouldnt be as bad. Also suv's and trucks are probably easier to do and get to then cars. So your on the safe side, lol. Good luck and i hope this helps.
At what mileage interval should you change your timing belt?
Somewhere around 60,000 miles give or take. If it's a non-interference engine you can go until the belt gets worn and starts causing trouble or when the water pump leaks. You change both at the same time, usually..
Don't ask for information that you already have in your owners manual. The time change in your owners manual is the correct mileage for the changing of these items. If you have doubts, contact your dealership to have them confirmed after all, they built the car in the first place.
depends on the car.......call dealer and ask the service department what the mileage is for ur vehicle......most are between 60 and 90 k........
also buy a haynes manual if u can for ur car (not sure if they've made on for it yet) and it will have all the service schedules....
change the timing belt at 90,000
When they break. Anyone who tells you any different is %26quot;puffing%26quot;...or possibly huffing.
+1 for manuals mandated time.
If you have it in your glove box,and have not read it since owning your car,I predict very bad things.
Lost it? your dealer can order 1 up for you,or go to your cars' on line club/forum for a downloaded
copy from some ''nice enough member''.
60,000 to 100,000 mile any car
my car has over 300,000 never been done
but your owner manual wil tell you when it should be done dont mean it needs it
