Timing belt in the 3.4 Lt Petrol engine

[Land Lover Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close Land Lover]

Hi everyone

In the greek toyota service schedule it is mentioned that the timing belt should be changed every 100.000 km.
In gregory' s and in Hyanes book its mentioned every 150.000Km or 90 months.
Can you inform me what is writen in the book of your country?? (australia or great britain etc...)
Is it possible that Hyanes is wrong???
Is it possible that the official toyota schedule is wrong?? :?:
Is it possible that the greek representative changed that by his own?? (for obvius reasons...)
Also in the greek schdule it is asked to change oil every 5.000 kms instead of 10.000kms in haynes
Plase help
(please note that in greece (as in the rest of the europe) for the majority of the LC's the 95% or even the 99 % of the km is made on road and not off road - I mention that because in haynes is writen that if the car is used more off road the service intervals should be reduced...- obviusly the greek representative didnt have this in mind... :wink: )

Thanks in advance for your replies

Hi all.
I cant find the service book for my Prado. (Not happy)

Can someone please let me know how often the spark plugs have to be changed (I dont think there platinum) and also ay what Kms the timing belt has to be done. (I think its every 100,000kms but just wanna check)

Thanks.

Ben..

According to the Gregory's book... spark plugs every 40,000 km's (type - NGK, Nippondenso... are they brands :?)
Timing belt at 150,000 km's

I remember someone mentioned the timing belt interval changed at some point from 100,000 to 150,000km's...

Have a search for "timing belt" and it should return a few hits.
