93 Camry timing belt replacement

I bought a 93 camry LE with 105,000 miles recently. The previous owner of 4 years has not replaced the timing belt (or done any preventive maintenance) and I'm not sure if it was replaced before that, but I think not.

I'm thinking of getting the timing belt replaced. What other parts should I replace at the same time? Going through previous posts, it looks like a good idea to replace the Water Pump. Any other parts I should look at replacing at the same time? What are the other belts that have to be replaced? How much would the parts cost?

Would appreciate suggestions and ideas. I'm a complete novice when it comes to cars. The mechanic quoted $200 in labor charges, is that a reasonable amount?

Thanks, Ron

That is not bad for labor for a Belt remove and replace, plus add the price of new belt, plus any other parts like seals, jockey and tensioner pulleys and water-pump shouldn't add too much more. The water-pump tho is a contentious point. A genuine Toyota pump is desirable IMO given the hassle to do it again if it fails early,...but how much are they?

  • Parts List Notes

Every effort has been made to be complete and accurate with the preceding parts list bid request. Please double check the part name and part numbers based upon the vehicle identification number and date of manufacture and advise of any discrepancies.

The existing correct Toyota branded V-Belts for the alternator / air conditioner, and power steering are labeled as follows:

A/C Belt: ND Denso, 91850-11102, 5PK1110, Toyota 99365-51110-83 Power Steering Belt: Bando 3PK760, 99363-70760-83 CR

Also please check that all sealing gaskets necessary for correct installation of the parts listed are included. === I sent this out for bid couple years ago. This was the best price I found and I did my own labor. When Toyota switched to Thailand for oil filter manufacture I changed to Purolator Pure One, but for everything else I use Toyota parts only. Also would up replacing the engine moving control rod, and later the control arms, axles, and ball joints, but the car runs better than new and looks like it may just last forever. Interior and exterior are also in like new condition.

Why did you opt out of using the Thailand-made filter?

Quality problem? ........and where are the Purolaters made?

=== There was some question about the Thailand filter by someone who cut one open. Said they looked like junk to him and if not for the Toyota name on the outside he would never have used such a filter. I cut one open and it looked OK to me but for some strange reason I had begun seeing tiny amber colored specs in my engine oil when checking the dipstick level as I do weekly. I ignored them at first, but then began to suspect the filter. Glue perhaps? Just a guess, entirely posible I'm wrong, but seemed to me, the oil should be clean with a full flow filter. Had one older Toyota filter and I don't think there was any problem with it, but it was my last one. I actually did find filters made in Japan, but it was an obsolete number and have to purchase by the case. Had always seen good reports about the Purolator Pure One, so I tried them. I really like the base gasket, easy to install and solid so I've stayed with them. Seems Purolater actually invented the oil filter. They're made in USA. Used to be Purolator also supplied Toyota OEM filters, but that may have changed. Also Toyota may have required some special feature unique to OEM in their specifications.

=== Felt I'd received a good price for the larger order from an online vendor. Wanted to have spares on hand. I think I also ordered five oil filters at the same time as well as extra drain plug gaskets.

It's a blessing that the respondents here are not dentists. Every routine procedure would call for 28 new crowns. :-) When I replaced my timing belt, I replaced the generator and power steering belts as well since they were as old and had to be removed. Everything else I left in peace, and thus far I have no regrets. The odds of replacing two dozen seals, gaskets, pumps, &c without botching something are slim. H.K.
