Highlander 2005/2006 And Timing Belt by thaqib(m): 12:01am On Mar 01, 2020 |
I have sort of concluded on getting a Highlander 2006 but stumbled on a write up where I read it has a timing belt NOT chain. This is making me have a rethink remembering what my Camry 00 did to me as far as snapping of timing belt is concerned. Infact I had promised never to buy any vehicle with belt. Is there a Highlander with chain ? Is the 4 cylinder better ? I ll appreciate expert advice and experience too |

thaqib: You will have to start from the 08 with the 2GR engine. Belt isn't a problem you just have to budget for a timing belt replacement and adjusters including the necessary pulley. It's called timing belt kits a bit expensive but worth it. |

Thanks . Don't have budget for 08 Highlander abeg. If the belt issue isn't as problematic as d Camry, I ll go for it. I see a lot of them around. Why won't u advised d 4 cylinders one? Learnt that comes with a chain.. |

Get a good timing belt, preferably used one in the market |

thaqib: Buy the highlander, it's belt change duration is every 90,000mile interval, and it doesn't easily snap even when not done for long but I don't recommend such carelessness. While doing the timing belt, do water pump replacement. RX330 use same engine as highlander 04-07. My own is 6years old and 194k miles presently, I just bought timing belt and water pump to replace as a preventive maintenance measure not that it's bad. Also, these parts could easily do 6years when you do brand new OEM and they are reasonably priced. Avoid the 4 cylinder as its very lethargic in acceleration during long journeys and has the oil burning issue and also the issue of stripped head bolts s very well documented in that engine. Cheers! |
