Anyone here in the North Texas area know of a place that can replace the timing belt on a 93 Es for a reasonable price? If so who and about how much. My car is creeping up on 160,000 and I need to start saving up.

Should cost more around $500-600. Talk to ever import dealer. Not just Toyota. Then talk to Indy Mechanics. The lowest price I've still ever seen for a timing belt replacement & a head gasket replacement was quoted & done at a Honda dealer. You're now on a 90,000 mile schedule. Not the old 60,000m one.

If you changed it at 60,000m, it should have been done at 150,000m. If you changed it at 120,000m, you're good till 210,000m.



Change the water pump with the belt from now on.

Flush the cooling system every other year & never use Toyota's coolants in that engine.

Thanks guys. Phoenix, the timing belt had been replaced when I bought it at 80,000 miles. So you are saying I should be good to 170,000 miles before I change it with the water pump? Sounds good to me. I will call around and look for something between 500 - 600 bucks when I get to that mileage.

When doing the T-belt and water pump, I would have the cams and crank seals check out. These things tend to leak.
