The timing belt is one of most capital elements of a car. However, if we do not necessarily pay attention to it, the rupture of a belt could induce very serious engine malfunctions. Everyone has already heard that it is necessary to change the timing belt on this Toyota Camry 2 as well as on any type of car. To properly master the subject, we will go around the question about the timing belt: What is its role, why to change it, when to change it, and finally what to do to change it. We therefore offer you our small specific timing belt file!
What is the purpose of a timing belt on a Toyota Camry 2?
To know the role of the belt on your Toyota Camry 2, you will have to understand what the distribution. In fact, distribution is the totality of mechanical parts which controls the admission phase (the valves) of the air-fuel mixture, But also exhaust. The timing belt is a toothed belt, prompted by crankshaft pinion, which then takes away the pulley camshaft. Depending on the car models, it can also drive the pulley of the injection pump and the pulley of the water pump within almost all mechanics. To put it simply, it is the timing belt that allows to turn the pistons and various parts of the engine so synchronized.
Why change the timing belt on a Toyota Camry 2?
Because of its consistency made of caoutchouc, the distribution belt will deteriorate over time. If you drive badly, the belt will become much less flexible and much less robust. This characteristic is even higher if you drive in town, with frequent starts. If, on the contrary, you drive very little, the belt could slip. deform if it stays in the same position all the time. As soon as a belt breaks or comes off, this triggers a engine stop immediate. Also, with the voltage, it can damage several parts of the engine block. It is therefore essential to pay attention to it. We will now see when you will have to change it.
When to change the timing belt on a Toyota Camry 2?
The problem with the belt is that it does not have a wear indicator. It is therefore difficult to see her condition, especially since she happens to be hardly accessible within the engine. The best way not to break the engine block is to follow the manufacturer's information. However, it is often important to trust the mechanics. It is still advisable to change them every 100 000 kilometers, or all 5 years. Some conditions, such as coolant or oil leaks, can damage the belt faster.
How to change the timing belt on a Toyota Camry 2?
Changing the timing belt on a Toyota Camry 2 is not easy. In fact, it is a vital part of the engine block, so when it is not done properly, it will inevitably cause irreversible damage to the engine block. This manipulation is therefore not recommended without the company of a mechanic. In order to change the timing belt, you must first buy the distribution kit full. Here are the steps to follow in order to change this belt:
- Make sure to loosen the tensioner pulley if you want to loosen the belt.
- Release the timing belt.
- Disassemble all the roller rollers and the water pump.
- Install the new water pump
- Put the rollers back in their respective places
- Add the timing belt in place, respecting the marks
- Tension the strap following the recommended tension using a blood pressure monitor
- Operate the engine block by hand, which corresponds to 4 city tours
Conclusion
It therefore seems essential to master several factors before embarking on any work. The belt is a essential vehicle component, it is this which will allow certain parts to be synchronized. Its inevitable wear makes it necessary to change it relatively frequently. If we delay really, it could damage the vehicle irrevocably. And finally, it remains essential to have good mechanical skills to be able to engage in this work. That's it, the key is now in your hands. Good road !
