Timing belt OEM Toyota or OEM Volkswagen

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

Local VW dealer did the belt, pump, rollers, tensioners with OEM parts and it cost $1700 bucks.

the oem toyota belts can do 200k miles no problem. Even if the truck is almost 20 years old.

I 2 late 90s four runners and ran them to 280000 on the original timing belts then I sold them and they still where running fine.

The timing belt, tensioner, water pump, and labor on my 15 Jetta S was 1700 after taxes as a Euro specialist mechanic in a decent Midwest city. Included 8 hours of labor @ $180

Definitely check local shops. The dealership just quoted my dad 1700 and he went to the local shop he bought his Jetta from. They did the timing belt and water pump for 1350.

Both of those price sound steep - my local shop in Ontario charges half that, currently about 1100cad plus taxes but can't remember the warranty. Car still runs fine 2 years later though

I paid $1500 to a very reputable foreign mechanic last month for my 2012 golf tdi

Oe quality parts:

Timing belt, tensioners/roller, water pump, manual transmission fluid, coolant, serpentine belt.

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.

My original timing belt assy failed at 87,0000 miles at just over 8 years. I think it might have been the tensioner failing that actually caused it. Luckily alll I had to do was pay for the timing belt replacement and VW covered the head replacement.
