How to Replace the Timing Belt on a Toyota Engine

Model: Toyota Toyota Various
Part: Timing belt

Video tutorial

This video tutorial demonstrates how to replace the timing belt, showing step by step the operations to be carried out. The timing belt is a crucial component that must be replaced periodically as it wears and can gradually harden over time; if even one tooth of the belt breaks, the engine may stop suddenly and the valve mechanism could be damaged, especially in Diesel engines.

The main components of the timing belt are shown in the video.

The procedure for replacing the timing belt varies depending on the car model and engine; however, the sequence of operations remains the same. First, remove the timing belt, second, remove the rocker cover, third, position cylinder number one at top dead centre on the compression stroke; fourth, remove the crankshaft pulley; fifth, replace the timing belt; sixth, reassemble the removed parts.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
