Need to change timing belt, serpentine belt & oil pan on Acura TL. What other things to get done?
Please recommend other repair items that should get done when I am spending on the labor cost to get these done. How much should I expect to spend on these repairs in Portland, OR?
Need to change timing belt, serpentine belt %26amp; oil pan on Acura TL. What other things to get done?
Definitely change the water pump along with the timing belt. There is very little extra labor, and you don't want it to start leaking (requiring having to do the whole job again) before the next timing belt change, or, even worse, to seize and ruin the belt and your engine. Looks like $600-$900 will cover it all - see the first source.

Should I change the timing belt/chain on my Toyota Camry?
I have a 2004 Toyota Camry and I just hit 100,000 miles. When should I change the timing belt/chain? My car is still running fine; just like the day I bought it.

your maintenance schedule should tell you when to change belt but chains have no maintenance and should not be serviced until making noise, that usually doesnt happen until 200,000 miles, belts are a different story and need regular service, anywhere from 60,000 to 100,000 miles depending on motor, you need to know which type of engine you have.

change it...it usually doesnt get bad slowly ...it snapps and leaves you on side of road..[usually at night in rain in bad %26quot;hood%26quot;]
the owners manual probably recommended changing it around 80k.
You need to change it even if your car is running fine. I had one brake(my car ran fine up until it did) and it caused my pistons to hit and bend my valves. It cost about $1400 to fix and that was because a friend did the work for me. It is recommended you change them to keep that from happening to you.
Your 2004 Camry has a maintenance-free timing chain if you have the 4 cylinder. You shouldn't have to change it. If it's the V6, you have a timing belt and it has to be replaced at 100K I believe. Newer timing belts tend to have longer intervals than the ones of the past. Also, if you have a V6 and the belt does break, it is a non-interference engine. That means that there's enough clearance that if the valves stop moving (ie. timing belt breaking), the pistons one crash into them and cause damage while you're driving. You just get your car towed to the shop, get a timing belt replacement service and you drive away.
2003-2006 Model camries have 2 types. The 2.4i engine has a timing chain - which should never need replacing. The 3.3L V6 has a timing belt, and should be replaced every 100,000 miles - so if you have a 3.3L V6 camry you should get it worked on sometime soon.
The good news is you do not have an interfearing engine - so even if it does brake (yes you'll be stranded) but at least your car will be repairable - unlike most hondas which DIE if their timing belts break.school nurse needing advice advice and suggestions

How Do I Change The Timing Belt On a 1990 Ranger?
I have a 1990 Ford Ranger pick up truck and we did get a manual but it isn't helping, there is no diagram for the timing belt. This truck has a Mazda motor. We need help finding the timing pattern for the timing belt.

That is one of the things you don't want to do your self if you have never done it before.

Which one is a timing belt. we can see around 3 to 4 belts engine to alternator,?
which one is a timing belt. we can see around 3 to 4 belts. engine to alternator, another connecting to waterpump via various pulley. i want to understand that for changing timing bealt weather you need to change all the belts which passes through various pullies or only one belt which has teeth like structure from inside. if timing belt is worn, does it means only the teeth like belt is worn. what about the other belts. is it not necessary to change them??
Which one is a timing belt. we can see around 3 to 4 belts engine to alternator,?
it would be easier to help you if you stated what car, and you only have to change the timing belt not all of them, its the one you stated that has the 'teeth structure on the inside' it should go to 2 pulley's at the top of the block that are on your camshaft and one pulley at the bottom of the block that is on your crankshaft, unless you have a timing light and know what your doing, i suggest you leave it to a mechanic as you can destroy the engine if its not on correctly, but if you don't have that option and don't mine risking it, take the belt off but what ever you do, don't let the pulleys turn a single notch or it will mess up the timing of the internal functions and could cause that much damage it ends up being cheaper to replace the motor...
Which one is a timing belt. we can see around 3 to 4 belts engine to alternator,?
The timing belt is a actual belt or it might be a chain simular to a bike chain but heavier and stronger. It is closest to the engine block and usually is completely covered so that if a accessory belt were to break it would not interfer with the timing belt. If the timing belt breaks it can cause major damage to the valve train, making it necessary for a whole new head assembly or rebuild.
When the timing belt is replaced is a great time to install all new belts since you have to remove all of them to replace the timing belt anyway.
It's the belt attached to the crankshaft pulley(the big one on bottom of engine).
The timing belt is usually covered to protect from the elements, It's a good idea to change it according to manufactures routine maintenance charts that should be in your owners manual, if available. An untrained person can do this but I would advise against it if you've never done it or atleast seen it done. If the belt happens to break while going down the road you will have to have the whole top end of motor rebuilt.
Bottom line is spending a little money now will save you lots of money later. As far as the other belts, anyone can change them. Check them for cracking, fraying, if they squill then they may be stretched and worn. To replace, don't forget how the old ones were on, or you might have a diagram showing the belts routing under the hood somewhere.
good luck.
The belts you are looking at are the accessory drive belts, they are completely different than the timing belt. The timing belt can't be seen on the outside of the engine by just peaking under the hood. It is located on the front of the engine on a V6 or V8, and on a Inline 4 cylinder its still on the %26quot;front%26quot; of the engine but typically on the drivers side of the engine compartment due to the fact that the engine is sideways in the car.
If you don't have much experience with cars i don't suggest changing one on your own due to the fact that if you mess something up you could end up paying extra for someone to clean up your mess, or messing up the cam timing and crushing a valve or worse.
Pay someone to change it, depending on the vehicle, a broking timing belt while driving can DESTROY you upper half of the engine....
it would really help to know what kind of motor you are looking at, but as you have described it, It has got to be older, with multiple belts. most stock motors that I have ever seen have have timing belt covered, and would be on the same end of the engine block as the other belts that you are looking at. The timing belt is crucial to the motor operation, and I really don't mean to be rude but unless you have a second car to drive while you learn to find top dead center, my advice on this would be as follows: if you have to ask where it is, then you're better off taking it somewhere to have this belt replaced. Also the timing belt will usually outlive the other belts tenfold, If the car runs reliably then just change the belts that you can see, and enjoy the ride
the belts that are visible are V or fanbelts, the cambelt will not be visible, however more info is required, ie:;make, model %26amp; year.
those are your accessory belts. the timing belt should be behind a cover.if the teeth are worn and the belt has heat cracks then yes it should be replaced before it leaves you sitting.
the timing belt is normally covered. it is usually located near the other belts and pulleys
