150K Service - Timing Belt

[hemalw0914 Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close hemalw0914]

Hi all,
Hope you're staying safe and doing well during these tough times.


My 2011 Prado is about to clock into 150,000KM and I know that it is due for its major service. I have a few questions

1) How much would it cost to replace the timing belt and components associated with it including labour?
2) Would I need to replace the water-pump?
3) I've seen that the fuel-transfer pump is not needed to be changed, is that true?

Cheers and stay safe!

From memory, this cost me around 950. I had the water pump changed, might as well do it while you are in there

My 150K service was $944.
The timing belt, tensioner pulley and hydraulic tensioner was $335, plus GST.
Total labour including normal servicing requirements was 2.8 hrs.
Not necessary to change water pump or fuel-transfer pump.

These things must be the easiest cam belt to change ever.
I've never been one to throw away a good working water pump, especially at only 150,000k.
Many owners will get the pump changed as you're already in there. Its up to you.
Fuel transfer pump is one of those tricky items. It will probably go for another 100,000k but just be aware of the symptoms etc so you're prepared for it.

SO what are the symptoms for fuel transfer pump failure? Mine has done 250,000 and my sons has done 325,000 no problem
