When to Replace Timing Belt?
My 08 xB is going on 66,000 miles. When should the timing belt be changed?
Thanks, JoeSpeed |
Doesn't the 2nd gen xB have the same engine as the tC? If so isn't that a chain not belt?
|
no Scions have T belts.
|
its got a chain, no worries
|
replace when it breaks, or when the belt looks glazed or worn/cracked, right?
|
Chain or Belt they must be replace at some point. Plus you don't want to wait until it breaks, cus you will need new valves, tie rod, etc...
|
look it up in your schedule maintenance book. it should be in there somewhere if it is required to ever be replaced.
|
it should be good for roughly 100k miles. my old explorer went way past that on the original timing chain.
|
The timing chain does last longer than the belt.

The Maintenance manual states:
@ 75,000 inspect the Drive Belt and again @ 90,000 Replace at the first sign of wear. |

The vehicle has a LIFETIME timing chain system. Same as tC and Camry. :love:
The serpentine belt is check at 75,000 and 90,000 and replace at first sign of wear. Also yes the Toyota engines are a non interference engine. That does not mean the engine would not be damaged on a failure of the timing system but it is not a certainty of being damaged like the Honda. :loser: |
Oh yeah, knew someone that had a prelude belt break. Oooooops.
|
The serpentine belt is a seperate belt than the timing belt/chain on a vehicle.
|
The serpentine belt is the belt that controls all the accessory pulleys such as the a/c compressor, power steering, and others. The timing chain cannot normally be seen just by popping your hood open.

these cars have both. a timing chain which yes was stated b4. lifetime. but should be checked about every 60m to insure its good. Also has a serpentine belt (v-belt) which drives everything else. alt, steering, water pump, so on.
