Want to replace Belt ?

Post by rosyjeeper »

Hey there…..

I don't want the belts and hoses of my car to break while driving. I want to replace them early to avoid this.

At what mileage should I do the replacement?

Now??

If you don't know the service history, there is no time like the present.

Otherwise, use the Toyota service manual as a good guide.

You will know by removing the current ones and comparing them to new ones. Give them some bending over to see if cracks appear. If cracks appear, then change them for piece of mind. If you don't change them, then they probably wont let you down until the bits are actually falling off them as you bend them over.
