Lexus Lx470 Timing Belt Service

I am asking cause i bought a 2002 lx470 at auction and dont have records.

Lexus lx470 timing belt service. Timing belt replacement cost the average cost for a lexus lx470 timing belt replacement is between 856 and 979. The cheapest quote i got was around 1400took me 5 12 hours but hey i dont get paid that kind of labor costi did it for free on my daughters sequoi same engine as the lx470 i used toyota timing belt and oe waterpump and bearings. Also if a high pitched sound is heard when the engine is idle or starting it could be the belt is worn out. I did the entire job for 230 which included the timing belt idlers and waterpump.

The shop i used last week to do my timing belt in a 99 put in a continental timing belt kit. Repairpal generates both national and local fair price estimates for most service intervals. Estimate does not include taxes and fees. They also did the water pump while they were in there.

This is what the lady told me today at the toyota dealership when i was getting pricing on the timing belt. When it comes to replacing the timing belt its better left to experts. Labor costs are estimated between 473 and 597 while parts are priced at 383. I could have gotten the parts cheaper than they do but they said if the timing belt or water pump break in 90k miles then continental will pay them to fix my car.

Is it true when they change the timing belt. Lexus owners recommend a timing belt be replaced after damage is detected at a cost of around 500 to 700. If replacing the water pump do so at this time and of course drain the cooling system first. The lexus lx470 maintenance schedule includes 40 different types of services over the course of 150000 miles.

If your lexus has trouble starting it could indicate the belt is worn out. The engine was running mistimed yet had no check engine light for camshaft. On the gx470 the radiator and fan must be removed in addition to the alternator power steering pump and a large proportion of the front of the engine. Due every 90000 miles the timing belt on the 2uz fe is a moderately complex procedure.

If the engine cooling system thermostat is only accessible with water pump replacement the thermostat should be replaced as well. The risk of not replacing is the belt breaking when the engine is in motion and could cost you 3000 to 5000 in repairs. They charged for 6 hours labor. During the removal as the tech went to set the timing so that the belt could be removed it was noted that the timing of the crankshaft relative to the camshafts was off.

They put a sticker on the cover with the mileage it was done at.
