jorg Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I'm getting conflicting answers on this. Does an '08 GS 350 AWD have a timing belt or a timing chain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jorg Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 Thank you again. That was my impression, but I think the owners manual has service at 90,000 for a belt??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinkwebb Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I suppose that maybe the wording is likely generic and legal. I know that these engines have a timing chain which is relatively not serviced until / if they make noise. I would not worry, it does have a chain.

Dean2 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 The 2008 GS 350 is a 6 cylinder and has a timing chain and does not require replacement. The 2006 GS 430 and all other 8 Cyl 4.3slike the SC, LS etc have an actual Belt. I just replaced mine at 150,000 Klms. It was still in perfect shape. The water pump was pristine but I replaced it too while I was in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
