Guide to replacing the timing belt of the Toyota RAV 4 D-4D

Model: Toyota Rav 4 Xa20, MK 2 - Years 2000-2006
Part: Timing belt

Today's information will allow us to dismantle and replace the timing belt of the Toyota RAV 4. First, we open the hood of the car and begin to dismantle and remove the engine support on the distribution side; we lift the car and remove the crankshaft pulley, disconnecting the V-belt first, as shown in the video. At this point, we remove the timing cover and then the belt, taking the necessary references for timing; in this case, we also replace the water pump, installing all new original components.

How to change the time on a Toyota Yaris

In this video we see how to change the time on a Toyota Yaris, specifically when it comes to switching from daylight saving time to standard time and vice versa. We go to the multifunction screen and press "settings": from there we go to press the clock, simply click on daylight saving time, and the clock will change the time for us, without doing anything else. All we want to do is just adjust the time format to 12 or 24 hours, as is customary in the area where we live: for example in Anglo-Saxon countries it is common to set the time to 12 hours, while in the European Union it is normally set to 24 hours.
