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.

Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
