Timing Belt - Higher mileage
Hello,
I have an '02 ES 300 with 192,000 miles. Purchased at 100k and had the timing belt and water pump replaced. Trying to decide if I should replace again? Love the car and it has been very solid mechanically .... thanks

Look up the kit for your car from Aisin. Aisin is the OEM manufacturer of the oem parts. TKT024 was for my 98es300. i would also recommend doing the cam and crank seals. Easy maintenance if you want this to continue being solid mechanically.

My interval is 125k. It is long on the belt (which is safe), about right on the plugs (conservative for iridium), and slightly short on the valve cover gaskets (which leak like sieves at 150k).
I wrap all that together and minimize the pain by doing the belt, plugs, VCGs, PCV, at 125k intervals. Our car is now at 310k and runs about like new,
If your car is at 200k and youv'e skipped plugs, gaskets, suspension, etc, you have work to do regardless of belt.
