Den-Den Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 What’s the best timing belt and water pump kit to use flor my gx 470? I realize OEM is probably the best but I would like to try and save a little money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX400h Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I believe Continental, Gates, and Dayco are good brands for timing belts. Each is in the $20-$22 range. I'm less certain about water pumps but I see that GMB ($51) states theirs is an exact OE replacement. The most expensive on the list is Aisin at $101.

Lexigrl Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I've had good luck with Gates and Dayco in the past for the timing belt kits. The Aisin water pump is probably the closest to oem. Usually find the best prices at Rock Auto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexus Owners Club Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I agree with the above choices but have noticed Gates are now sourcing their belts from abroad (China) and the quality has dropped tremendously...(squeeling drivebelts and stretching needing constant adjustment). Would recommend genuine Lexus/Toyota for the auxiliary drivebelts but Cambelt and Tensioners should be acceptable from any of the above sources Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcfish Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Well, You bought a Lexus for it's quality and dependability among other reasons I am sure...Buy OEM parts and have a piece of mind that is not made in china...Sleep well 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
