control_electronics Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Like to know if any one has step by step tutorial on How to Change the Timing Belt & Water Pump on rx300.Also what do you recommend it can be done or do i have to take it to garage. Searching this topic and it looks like a long time has passed, why no replies? i take it from lack of response that this is not so much of a d-i-y maint and repair forum as for some of the other car groups, e.g. bmw 5 and 7-series, porsche 911, etc... It seems funny that there is no discussion of actually just inspecting the timing belt by pulling off the plastic cover and looking for signs of wear or distress. If it looks bad, its time to do it. If not, then save up till it does. It also seems funny that (according to Haynes) you have to remove the windshield wipers, wiper motor assembly, and vent cowl, etc. in order to do the timing belt. i'd be willing to bet that the mechanics who do this job have some time-saving tricks to get this job done quickly and beat the book time.

JSmith Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 http://home.comcast.net/~rx300how2/index.html is a good site for basic maintenance procedures. You might be able to email that person for comment on the timing belt. I have previously seen comments from others on this site who have replaced their belt. You might have to search the archives of this site further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSmith Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 http://www.divshare.com/download/2564077-62d is the manual for the 1999 RX300, and describes in detail the replacement of the timing belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
