Might help if you said 4-cylinder (5SFE) or V6 (3VZFE). Either way, you should get a Gregorys manual, no doubt it'll go through the exact steps needed to change the timing belt, very handy things to have if you intend on doing anything DIY on your car.

Find your model, get the book number, and then go to Supercheap, Repco etc and search their service manuals for that particular book/number. If they don't have it, they will be able to order one in, generally they're around $50 if you order them in, often the ones on the shelves will be reduced or on special, got my AE82 one brand new from Supercheap for $25.

I've never replaced mine... not my field unfortunately :P

I own a Haynes Manual... covers the 5SFE, 3VZFE and 1MZFE as well I think?

After the amount of detail that goes into that... I reckon I'd be able to do it myself with the help of the Haynes Manual. Has more better illustrated pics and more detail.

I generally prefer Gregorys over Haynes (even though they're the same company), Haynes manuals tend to bridge a few model series so seem to suffer accuracy-wise because of it, Gregorys ones focus on one particular series.

SX/SDV10, called the Widebody because, well, it has a wide body. The Camry sold in Japan was narrower (because of tax bracket reasons), the Camry sold to the rest of the world had the full-size body.

I think it is annoying everyone. I keep wondering whether it is actually a person who types the replies, or whether it is completely computer generated.

I think that it is a person typing the posts. I think a computer would be a bit more intelligent. Lol. But why is the question, only thing I can think of is he is trying to get to the 30 posts required to sell things on this forum.

I think it's a spambot, you'll notice that it seems to pick up on key words, and often uses exact phrases from the original post, probably similar to the technology you get in Google ads where the first thing is often "Find _____ for cheap on eBay" etc etc.

And if they are a real person trying to spam to get to 30 posts, they'll need all the help they can get trying to sell even a barn door to the Amish.

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Android auto

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.
