Timing belt OEM Toyota or OEM Volvo

What I like about our Hilux is after 200k kms, is timing belt lang napalitan. The durability is impeccable.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

The timing belt on the 4.7 engine needs changing every 100k, which is stupid.

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.

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.
