The timing belt is one of the most needed items of a car. However, if you are not careful, a broken belt can damage major engine problems. Everyone knows that it is important to replace this timing belt, on the Toyota Mr 2 or on any type of car. In order to fully understand the subject, it is necessary to go around the question of the timing belt: what is it for, why to replace it, when to replace it, and finally how to replace it. Here is therefore a complete exclusive distribution belt file!
What is a timing belt used for on a Toyota Mr 2?
In order to discover the role of the belt of this Toyota Mr 2, it is necessary to understand what the distribution. In fact, distribution is the set of mechanical components that directs the admission phase (the valves) of the air-fuel mixture, But also exhaust. This timing belt is a toothed belt, prompted by crankshaft pinion, which then takes away the pulley camshaft. Depending on the type of car, the latter can also cause the pulley of the injection pump and the pulley of the water pump on most engines. To put it simply, it is the timing belt that will allow to turn the pistons and various engine parts so synchronized.
Why change the timing belt on a Toyota Mr 2?
Thanks to its material caoutchouc, the distribution belt will wear out over time. If you drive a lot, the belt becomes much less malleable and less enduring. This phenomenon is more and more important if you live within the city walls, with incessant starts. If, on the contrary, you drive very little, the belt may deform if it remains day and night in a stable position. If ever a strap comes loose or comes out of its location, this triggers a engine stop immediate. Also, due to the tension, it can damage various components of the engine block. It is indeed important to pay attention to it. We will now see when to replace it.
When to change the timing belt on a Toyota Mr 2?
The downside to the belt is that it does not necessarily have a wear indicator. It is therefore complicated to judge the state of it, especially since it happens to be hardly accessible within the engine. The easiest way to prevent engine failure is to follow the manufacturer's directions. However, sometimes it is essential to trust the mechanics. It is regularly advised to replace them every 100 000 km, or every 5 years. Certain causes, such as coolant or oil leaks, can damage the belt more quickly.
How to change the timing belt on a Toyota Mr 2?
Replacing the timing belt on a Toyota Mr 2 is not easy. In fact, it is a fundamental part of the engine, in fact when this is not properly done, it will inevitably cause very significant damage to the vehicle. This repair is therefore not recommended without the company of a garage owner. To replace the timing belt, you will first need to buy the distribution kit whole. Here are the steps to follow to be able to replace your belt:
- Loosen the tensioner pulley if you want to loosen the belt.
- Remove the timing belt.
- Disassemble all the roller rollers and the water pump.
- Replace the new water pump
- Place the rollers in their original place
- Add the timing belt in place, respecting the marks
- Tighten the belt respecting the recommended tension using a tensiometer
- Run the engine manually, which corresponds to 4 city revolutions
Conclusion
It is therefore essential to know a few factors before committing to repairs. The belt is a fundamental element of the engine, it is the latter which allows several parts to be synchronized. Its inevitable degradation makes it important to replace it relatively often. If ever we delay too long, it could irrevocably damage the engine. And finally, it is essential to have good mechanical skills to be able to engage in this kind of practice. It's done, the key is now in your pocket. Good road !
