The timing belt happens to be one of the most essential elements of a car. However, in the event that we really do not pay attention to it, the rupture of a belt will sometimes lead to major engine malfunctions. Everyone knows that it is necessary to change this timing belt, on the Toyota Uuv or on any model of automobile. In order to understand the issues, it is necessary to go around the question concerning the timing belt: What is its role, why change it, when to change it, and finally what to do to change it. You will find below an exclusive complete distribution belt file!
What is a timing belt used for on a Toyota Uuv?
In order to discover the role of the belt of any Toyota Uuv, it will be necessary to master what is the distribution. In fact, distribution is the set of mechanical parts that governs the admission phase (the valves) of the air-fuel mixture, But also exhaust. This timing belt is a toothed belt, carried away by the crankshaft pinion, which in turn carries the pulley camshaft. Depending on the range of cars, the latter can at the same time drive the pulley of the injection pump as well as the pulley of the water pump within the majority of systems. If we summarize, it is the timing belt that will allow to drive the pistons and other parts of the engine block so synchronized.
Why change the timing belt on a Toyota Uuv?
From its material made of caoutchouc, the distribution belt will wear out over time. If you drive a lot, the belt will become much less malleable and less resistant. This phenomenon is all the more important if you drive in urban areas, with incessant starts. If, on the other hand, you drive very little, the belt will sometimes deform by staying in the same position day and night. If a belt breaks or comes off, this triggers a engine stop immediate. Also, with the contraction, it could deteriorate various parts of the system. It is therefore essential to be careful. We will suddenly understand when it will be necessary to change it.
When to change the timing belt on a Toyota Uuv?
The problem with the belt is that it does not have a wear indicator. Difficult therefore to assess its wear, especially since it happens to be difficult to access in your engine. The best way to avoid breaking the engine block is to read the information from the manufacturer. However, it is sometimes wiser to trust the mechanics. It is often recommended to change them every 100 000 km, or every 5 years. Some causes, such as coolant or oil leaks, will damage the belt more quickly.
How to change the timing belt on a Toyota Uuv?
Changing the timing belt on a Toyota Uuv is not an easy task. Indeed, it is a capital part of the engine block, in fact when it is not properly accomplished, it will inevitably cause major damage to the engine. Such repair is therefore not recommended without the presence of a mechanic. In order to change the timing belt, you will first need to purchase the distribution kit whole. Here are the steps to follow in order to change the famous belt:
- Make sure to loosen the tensioner roller so that you can loosen the belt.
- Remove the timing belt.
- Undo all the rollers and the water pump.
- Replace the new water pump
- Place the rollers in their respective places
- Fix the timing belt in place respecting the marks
- Tension the belt following the recommended tension using a blood pressure monitor
- Rotate the engine block by hand, which is equivalent to 4 city turns
Conclusion
It therefore seems essential to understand certain points before starting repairs. The belt happens to be a capital component of the engine block, it is the latter which will provide the means to synchronize several parts. Its natural wear makes it necessary to change it relatively frequently. If you leave too much behind, it will sometimes damage the engine block permanently. And finally, it seems essential to have good mechanical skills to start this kind of task. It's done, the key is in your pocket. Good road !
