I agree most people now just ditch their cars instead of keeping and taking care of them. Its becoming a lost art. I think that tells allot about a persons character.

Very meticulous, passionate and detailed work/video. As a mechanical engineer this makes me especially happy when this passion goes full circle: the engineers who designed it, the plant thaat cast/machined it, the factory workers who assembled it, the driver who took good care of it, and it gets to a mechanic who treats it the same way. Whatever you own, take care of it the best you can. That's what my dad taught me and I see it here.

I got my timing belt replaced on my 03 Lexus ES300 at 180k miles. I asked to see the belt afterwards. It honestly looked brand new. No cracks or obvious wear, perhaps it was soft but it didn't immediately register as such. That belt is about 10 years old and had 90K on it.

I recently did a timing belt job on a family member’s 2004 Toyota Sequoia with 259,000k miles. She is the original owner and has never had the timing belt replaced. I was surprised to see that the original belt was still in very good shape. All new parts used were bought from Toyota.

I love watching you work mate - you are more like a watch technician rather than a mechanic. Great car that is in such good condition considering its age. Thanks for sharing this with us!

I've watched and read several videos on completing the timing belt job on the UZ engines in preparation to replace mine soon. This one is by far the best, covering every detail and leaving little room for questions. My 2004 LS will be very happy to receive its new timing belt soon...

Wow, nice video, thanks! Can’t imagine myself doing this project myself. Like tax preparation and dentistry, there are some things worth paying for to get it done right the first time!

Sir, you are a fantastic person and a fantastic mechanic. You're a great teacher too. I don't even have that particular car and I enjoyed the whole video. Thanks for all you do!

Great Video! Back when I replaced the timing belt on my 3.4 v6 2001 Tacoma it was easily twice as bad as the cracked belt you showed from the sienna! 😄 That belt was at twice its lifespan, 20 years old, and had lived most of its years in the desert! At the time it was new to me, and the previous owner never bothered with it. At the very least it was a non-interference engine so if it did ever snap, the engine wouldn't be destroyed. Thanks for all the great Toyota content!

Just did this service on on my 430 today 200,000 miles thanks so much for the video wouldn't tried it without your video just like you said. Saved$$$

There's something very cool about watching an absolute master of his craft like AMD do their work. They make it look much easier than it is.

Before I replaced the timing belt and water pump on my SC430 I consulted three different sources - each of which omitted one or more detail. But between the three I created a step-by-step list that included what the other left out. Experience with other auto repairs will help you deal with what is not covered in manuals, videos. As mentioned by the creator of the video - it’s challenging to cover every step without making the video too long. Only thing I will add is I used a torque wrench on most of the bolts - especially on the water pump to ensure equal pressure is applied to the five bolts.

In the 1980's Dayton Tire and Rubber was making timing belts for select Japanese cars that were guaranteed for the life of the vehicle. I had one on a 1979 Plymouth Colt. It was still soldiering on at 210,000 miles when I sold the car. It's my understanding one of the Japanese car manufacturers bought the timing belt process and immediately shelved it.

I can’t understand why they can’t just stick with a chain…

I changed the timing belt on my 2003 Tundra (V8) a couple months ago. I bought it new and it had 220k miles on the original belt. After watching the three-part 1A-Auto KZread series I took it on myself. Even after buying the tools I didn't have I still came out ahead... and I get to KEEP the tools! It was surprisingly easy, although time consuming and a couple of times I thought I might have gotten in over my head but a step back and a mental regroup was all it took. My biggest concern was making sure the little O-ring on that new water pump wasn't going to leak. So far, so good. Wanted to mention though, the original timing belt looked brand new. I was almost disappointed. The replacement was a Gates kit with all the pulleys from RockAuto so I think I did okay. I really appreciate your channel. I LOVE my Toyotas. I've owned nothing but Toyotas for forty years (2 4-Runners, Celica, 2 Corollas, Camry V6 (hated that transverse engine), Tundra, and an 86GT), I've worked on them all, and when it's something outside my ability, I won't let just any mechanic near them. When the high pressure fuel pump on my 86 needed replacement under recall, I really tried to get the local dealer to just let me have the pump and I'd do it myself. They didn't, although they did do a good job.

@@melmel2644 Once again I will state..My 38 year old (driven daily) Bronco II with its original engine begs to differ, but of course it has a timing gear (not chain and sprocket) setup. Timing belts were never a good idea..used to have to change them on Fiats back in the 70s and the timing belt equipped Pontiac overhead cam 6 was discontinued after only 4 years in favor of the overhead valve Chevy 6 that it was based on, an ancient design that was barely upgraded over its lifespan The "big three" used timing chains with few exceptions until they started producing 4 cyl engines, and the Ford 2.3 (not that POS 2.3 made currently) was non interference so even if the belt broke it didnt take out the valves as Hondas were known to do. When Ford designed their overhead cam Triton (modular) engines, they used timing chains--not belts, and the GM LS as well as all Chrysler Hemi engines use chains also, though they are not overhead cam. Honda and Toyota finally did get smart, many of their newer engines also have chain driven camshafts. The only intelligent thing Toyota did with belt driven camshafts was to use a timing belt much wider than other engines.

I have never seen a job where so many things can go wrong if the mechanic is not some kind of car care genius. I just hope that you are there when my Sienna needs this work.

Had same codes myself. Try this if you haven't already and you can thank me later. Stop by your local Toyota dealership and pickup an (OEM) Toyota brand new Gas cap and throw out your old one after its replaced with this new one. The codes should clear themselves shortly once the Check Engine Light disappears. Or you can stop by your local Auto Zone or Adavanced Auto Parts store and have them use their scan tool to clear the Check Engine Light and rescan for any trouble codes. They do this free of charge. I am optimistic this will solve your problem. Those are one of the most common engine trouble codes and a gas cap has proved to be the culprit time and time again.
