ancaf33 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Hello, since I just aqquired my starlet I am quite keen to have the timing belt changed. Should I change the waterpump at the same time? Do you recommend some specific brand? Also is this something I can do myself or should I let a workshop do it? Also if there is some other general maintenance that you would recommend, I would greatly appreciate it Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maerijn Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 If its a 2E engine the water pump is not driven by the timing belt, so it can be changed separately depending on the mileage. I would recommend a timing belt by Continental, and ofcourse change the rollers aswell. You can also check if the crankshaft seal on the that side of the engine is still dry, if it is wet get a new one from the Toyota dealer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

maerijn Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 The engine number will be stamped at the exhaust side of the engine block.. but if its a diesel I am not sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
