Thank you I can not find a reputable supplier in the uk that sells everything as a wholeYes, the Aisin TKT-021 is a good timing belt kit for the 2UZ.
Buying from Amazon/eBay is a gamble. You may not get genuine parts. I would suggest sourcing the Aisin TKT-021 kit from a reputable shop/distributor.
+1. It's guaranteed to be the right stuff from them.Much better to buy the kit here Cruiser Teq | Land Cruiser Specialists Powered by Cruiser Outfitters - https://cruiserteq.com/
The conundrum with replacing the water pump and fan bracket while doing the timing belt has to do with labor. Replacing them on their own is probably 80% of the labor to do a timing belt, but zero extra labor if done with the timing belt. In my mind it’s worth replacing them and knowing it’s nearly certain you won’t have to worry about it for another 90k miles.Thank you I can not find a reputable supplier in the uk that sells everything as a whole
This kit is coming from the US apparently
I will compare images of the parts to ensure the labels and branding prints are there. There’s thousands of good reviews but there are a few really bad ones too of arriving with wrong parts and cracks!
Toyota tell me no need to replace the water pump as it’s only 70k miles. Is this wise coming from a dealership?
Very inconsistent information and availability unless I pay £1500 for Toyota to do it
But then again Aisin £199 from Amazon also seems unwise the more I think about it
Would the engine be a write off it the timing belt snapped down the line?
Will do this yes! Are there metal ones available?just a suggestion, change the heater "T"s also when doing the timing belt
