I have a 2003 Toyota Sequoia that my Wife loves and has put 92000mi on it and it has been very trouble free. I read the owners manual and under normal conditions and I did not see a timinig belt replacement interval. I have never replaced the drive belt and from what I can see it still looks good, no cracks or noises or anything. Is their a way to check these new style belts for for wear like the old style v-belts which wore out fast but you could tell by how thin and low in the pulley they got?
The only problems we had with this car is brakes, which since we replaced all new rotors and heavy duty ceramic pads, front and rear, have lasted over 40kmi but they make noise when first backing out garage in morning. The other problem I have had is the leather seats have taken on some heavy wear and tear. I clean them and it seams like the dye comes off with the soap and water, they just get worse and worse. Have any of you found the leather dye/paint to be any good or easy to use?
