GS430 Timing belt service - what to replace?
#16
I passed and went independent. For the same ~$900, I had the following work done: timing belt, water pump, thermostat, outer belt and gaskets. I did an oil change, oil / air filters, cleaned MAF and spark plugs on top of all that. The seals, idlers and tensioners were good to go as is. I also updated my nav DVD to the latest version. Overall, not a cheap week for me! That said, I should be solid for many years to come.
Drive on!

I just had my 90k service done last week. There is actually a kit that i bought that come with a new timing belt, all the tensioners, gaskets, and i think it also came with the water pump. After everything was done my mechanic charged me around $850 and the dealership quoted me at over $1800 for everything.

When I did my timing belt service last year I replaced:
1) Belt
2) water pump
3) idlers (I would replace them for sure) it's a bearing and eventually it will make noise.
4) tensioner (old one was still good but I found original one for only $40 so why not???)
5) Thermostat
6) PCV
7) Coolant obviously
BTW, these were all original parts.
Where in CA are you located? I'm in Bay Area.. I could do all this for you for $650 the most. Let me know.
