Do these idler pulley's fit on the 06 Avalon's ?

[@donwillcox6470]

Great video thanks. Absurd amount of work to get at a tensioner - Toyota engineers are laughing at us all I suppose.

[@tenzackyogi1742]

You're really helpful 🙂 for all camry owners during pandemic times. This DIY give my life meaning during this jobless times.. thanks Sueze ... love you..

[@DSPNWtoCali]

Sad thing is not all Camry but any similar engine with that have this 3.5 engine.

[@landshass2849]

Real repair, real female mechanic, not an actress. I wish she makes more repair videos, her voice is not irretating like other women pretending to be mechanics.

[@landshass2849]

There's an after-market pulley that can be replaced without replacing the whole tensioner. Not need to replace the whole thing if the problem is the pulley ball bearing.

[@33ad1]

Thanks for the Info. What brand is this part and what is the part Number ?

[@cubanomexicano2]

Usually it's the tensioner spring that fails on these first.

[@condor5635]

Nice work. Toyota what the heck were you thinking ? Disassemble the entire car to replace a tensioner assembly? Before anyone does this just replace the tensioner pulley - not the whole assembly - at first and see if that solves your noise issues. That does not require you to disassemble the whole car to replace. You can find the part tropically or just replace the bearing on the part you take out.

[@StephenDPrice]

I thank y'all for that video it was a great help😄😄😄

I agree with Don! Maybe Toyota wants to keep Mechanics employed??

[@fordawin7811]

Toyota most love their technicians

[@heniutek77]

Hi, I have a 2007 camry 3,5 v6 toyota , is the replacement the same?

[@marklance033]

How different would it be for a 2009 Lexus Es350?

[@elwombat2650]

Great tutorial for bel tensioner replacement!! , i just have a question.. this diy will be the same procedure for a 2008 toyota rav4 3.5 ?

[@cubanomexicano2]

Yes they are all very similar.

[@InexplicableBill]

Cindy your vids are the best. You make it look so easy. :) Come to Hanover, MA. I've got a 2008 Highlander with 210,000 miles that needs this... ha.

[@johnvillafana1586]

Is this the same procedure for a 2007 camry v-6 for the belt tensioner?

[@kenlee2374]

so much for that Tensioner.... look how much she has to removed to get to that.

[@mets23q]

Shes working from the top thats why it seems harder its actually a easy job if you work from bottom

[@jxmb_nike5698]

Great video 👍
What type of torque wrench did you use?
Brand, model #?
Thanks so much.

[@paulgarcia3797]

Can you also get to it through the passenger wheel well?

[@bobbybenn8275]

Great job Ms. Does this apply to a 2010 highlander 3.5l

[@1AAuto]

+Bobby Benn This video will also be correct for your vehicle as long as it has the 3.5L engine. Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com

[@elvis19kilo]

How long does it take to do this job?

[@Mahigeer1]

If the belt is going to be replaced, why not cut it?

[@jlj547]

I guess gone are the days of 5 minute serpentine belt changes.

[@MICHAELWALTON1]

Really I just want to know... how difficult were those two bottom short brackets bolts to reinstall on the a/c condenser bracket??? I just about lost my religion until I remembered that this car doesn't care if I get aggravated !! :)

[@robertjohnson4401]

What I want to know is does the horn work after this job?

[@1AAuto]

+Robert Johnson Yes, the horn should still be able to work properly.

[@robertjohnson4401]

@@1AAuto You did plug back in the horn wires? I didn't notice that in the video.

[@davidparsons6588]

How long did it take to Replace the pully seem like a pain in the but my nabour had hers done a year and a half ago and they charged her $500 is seem right

[@fordawin7811]

Imagine this being the same thing as the 4 cyl

[@hjsvideo]

This is an awesome video but Toyota needs to have a better design! 😒

[@davidparsons6588]

I won't buy a Toyota I'm not going through all that stuff know wonder why the shop charges so much I'm sure you are showing DIY and it can be frustrating for some people it's not a easy task thank you but I don't see $500 worth of work witch my freind paid for a year and a half later she has to have it done again sounds like they bought forgin parts

[@kenlee2374]

most certainly all the manufacturers are the same. some of the simple parts are just burried under so many stuff. we have to wonder what the heck are they thinking.

[@raymathews7035]

All that to replace a belt!

It was better to change the timing belt but now that’s out of the way they had to make something else hard to take a part 😂 omg 😱

Why on gods green earth would anybody complicate a drive belt tensioner design like this

[@Hernandez-kl2oq]

😅👍👍👍

[@handokosigit]

I guess it shows just sent to delaer for repair,. Lol

[@eze628]

This is the dumbest set up Toyota could have ever done. It also looks like the 07 engine.

[@gugigraubvogel4263]

I hope you never work in my car...
