How often should the Alternator Belt and the Timing Belt be changed?

I have a Toyota Corolla 2004 LE edition. In order not to run into problems, how often should I get the Alternator and Timing Belt changed? Every 5 years? I know this seems like a very obselete question, but I want to make sure my car is in good shape. It currently has 42,290 miles on it and it's 3 years old.How often should the Alternator Belt and the Timing Belt be changed?Timing belts are 80k-100k miles depending on driving conditions.



Alternator Belt ....???



Toyota I can only assume is like Nissan, Honda, %26amp; VW in that they check belts and hoses as part of their maintenance every 10k miles. Those would be changed as needed but at 42,290k miles your car would have gone through a lot if it already needs these items changed but every car has its kwirks.How often should the Alternator Belt and the Timing Belt be changed?The recommended time to change your timing belt is every 60,000 miles. If you wait until it breaks, you will be replacing an engine instead. Since replacing the timing belt entails remove all of the other belts first, it would be a great time to replace the accessory belts at the same time. Rack time is expensive.How often should the Alternator Belt and the Timing Belt be changed?Do you have the 4 or 6?

A good way to tell is look at it, if it has small cracks or glazing it needs to be replaced. The cracks will be in the V side not the smooth side.

If you have a 4 cyl then you have a timing chain, the V6 has a belt, if it breaks there is no motor damage that is not a interference motor.How often should the Alternator Belt and the Timing Belt be changed?if you have a 4 cylinder engine you have a serpentine belt and it should be changed about every 50k or as needed, and 4 cyl. has a timing chain not a belt. if you have a v6 then you have two drive belts that should be changed 50k or as needed, and the timing belt should be changed every 90k or as needed.How often should the Alternator Belt and the Timing Belt be changed?Once a yearHow often should the Alternator Belt and the Timing Belt be changed?Starting in 1998, Corollas went to a timing CHAIN. Theoretically, you should never have to change it,



The accessory belt (serpentine) should be inspected every oil change to be safe and changed when cracks appear.How often should the Alternator Belt and the Timing Belt be changed?They dont make a 6 cyl corolla, and corolla's use a timing chain from 98 on up.How often should the Alternator Belt and the Timing Belt be changed?The local Toyota shop recommends changing the timing belt every 60k in hot climates like Texas. The timing belt (not to be confused with the alternator/water pump/compressor belt) is covered and thus is not readibly viewable. If the timing belt breaks, all the valves are bent in a second and the engine has to be rebuilt. Is is about a $3000 job vs. a $100 belt.How often should the Alternator Belt and the Timing Belt be changed?omg seems like no one read the instruction booklet

there is a part on the book talking to mantenience in that part will tell you when you have change it and corrolla dont use timing belt, they use timming chain that you never need to change( in 10years will stretch only 3/16 inch) then change it



for the alt belt look for some scratchs and loose parts, or cracks if you look one of these then you have to change it
