I am getting my timing belt replaced along with all other belts on the car this weekend , at meineke and i wanted to know what should i look for after they are done and how to know that things werent done right, i bought the belts myself from toyota but i just dont trust these guys 100% lol, they pretty cheap which is suspicious. Also i know that the water pump should be replaced with the timing belt , but i will procrastinate on this one

if i was u i would really take a peak at the alternator belt , push it down and see if its got alot of play and check the under neath of it and see if its cracked alot or missing the v teeth at all...its quite possible all thats wrong is ur alternator belt is toast or just lose. which would be a hella lot cheaper to change, u need bascially only need two tools to do it lol
EDIT: although if u know for a fact ur timing belt has NEVER been changed and u have quite a few miles on the car then i would recommend changing it anyways...it doesnt damage anything when it goes...i know from experence but it does suck ur car just unexpectedly dieing at a street light and u gotta push it off the road and get it towed home lol This post has been edited by tigersvain: Mar 13, 2008 - 6:20 PM -------------------- 94 Celica GT Hatchback 5spd
