My 2004 100 series auto TD is due to have its T belt changed. What would you guys recommend I get serviced at the same time??

Just what the book says. Unless someone else has a better idea.

Phil

PS: I assume the "T" belt is the timing belt. Sorry but I hate all these acronyms and abbreviations.

Gday Phil
I don't like diffs that" blow up" and engines that "blow up" and the odd gear box that "blows up" . There needs to be a better explanation for the problems that people have . Being an old powder monkey, I know what blown up means.

"blown up" is used by clowns who dont know what they are talking about unfortunately.

Regarding your 150K service-Toyota no longer requires the injector lines changing.
The timing belt is dead easy to change yourself, as it doesnt go round the crankshaft, 1 hr job.
BUT I got Toyota to do anyway as the tensioner is about $250 also and if they do it you get 100K 3 yr warranty on parts and labour, plus they sold me the tensioner at trade so it was a no-brainer for me.

Same as you old son. Abbreviations and acronyms and explanations that are non descriptive , just general, that no one understands, well I don't understand.
Acronims are used by people that are to lazy to write the full word.

Muzbry,,,,I think you best take another valium and lie down...If you didnt understand that a"t belt" was short for timing belt then best you enrol in a very basic mechanical course. Who mentioned "blown up"...yes I have a powder monkeys ticket yet I dont think anyone mentioned "blown up".
Put your glass of sherry down and read the query.
Enjoy the evening.
Cheers

Thanks for the offer of a valium and a lie down.
I was agreeing with Phil who did not like acronims and abbreviations. I don't like people who can't put the whole word down . Ihave yet to see a diff of gear box "blow up" they might break or wear out , do a bearing or a pinion seal,run out of oil, but blow up, i think not.
So now i will have the valium and the lay down.
Thanks Bigfish....enjoy your evening.

Geez Muzbry, I was actually asking a question as I had no Idea what you meant by talking about "blown up". I now understand. I was not trying to "wind you up. The OP (original poster) never mentioned gear boxes, diffs or anything blowing up. As I said, just trying to work out what you meant.

I've got the same motor. To keep things reliable, for the next 150,000k, I also did:
- Timing belt tensioner and bearing
- fan and A/C belts,
- new radiator hoses
- new thermostat
- replaced water pump (easily accessible while timing belt is off)
- removed alternator and replaced brushes
- removed radiator and cleaned out the fins of mud and grass
- flushed and replaced power steering fluid
- adjusted valve clearances

I used only Toyota parts and did the work myself. I figure if I'm going to keep the vehicle I want it to be reliable, so replaced the bits that are likely to fail over the next 150,000k. They are all cheap parts, and cheap insurance, and once you remove the radiator all these jobs are easy. Some of the old parts are now carried as spares.

A question-how did you drain and flush the power steering? I cant find anywhere on either of my toyotas (1hdj100 and KZN165) that will easily accomplish it, and the manual is suitably vague?

I drained and refilled the reservoir a few times by using a syringe and tubing. I ran the vehicle in between to circulate the fluid. I'm sure there are better ways of doing it but this is the least messy that I know.

It's not listed as a service item and it seems like it only ever gets changed when the power steering pump starts leaking and needs an overhaul. I know one 4wd mechanic who changes his every 2 years.

Cheap insurance AND you get to know your car, you know what has and hasnt been replaced, you saved a heap in money, you now have peace of mind on a trip, you also know what to do if stuck in the bush so I,d say that you come out a winner. I think if more people did some of the minor work on their vehicles there would be a lot less stranded people and with the money saved a few kilometers or sightseeing.

The price posted for the tensioner is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than I paid

The whole job with a tensioner and an idler and belt was around $300 The idler was about $50 and the tensioner was about $90 from memory.
I had mine done by Toyota at the 140,000 service and all up cost about $1200 foir the lot (Big service and belts)

Fisho64,

quote 'Regarding your 150K service-Toyota no longer requires the injector lines changing.'

Was this notified to dealers as I had my mechanic go by the book which included the injector lines and this was done in June 09 at the 150K service.

Noel,

I'm assuming you have the have the 1HD-FTE motor the same as mine.
As well as a general service I had the Timing Belt and Injector Lines done and they also found the water pump was leaking so this was replaced as well.
