Timing Belt / Water Pump Replacement
2002 AWD 195,000 miles
Need to replace my timing belt for the second time. I did not replace the idler pulley / tensioner or water pump the first time. What have other readers experiences been?? Do I replace the pulley / tensioner and water pump this time?? Can't see keeping this vehicle much longer; maybe another 50,000 miles at best. Part of me says if it's not broken, don't fixit but I think I'd be pushing my luck.

Thanks for the replys. Any suggestions as to brands? Auto parts warehouse sells a Dayco kit that includes belt, water pump, idler pulley, tensioner, and adjuster for $265.

I would stick with OEM and my second choice will be at-least OES.

OEM will come in Lexus or Toyota packing
When I states OES ... I actually wanted to say things made by the same manufacturer but not packaged for Toyota/Lexus. If Aesin (sp?) comes to mind for waterpump.
Just buy from CL sponsor and insist on OEM.
