Toyota Hiace 2.5 D4D - Timing Belt

How to replace the timing belt on a 2005 Toyota Hiace 2.5 D4D.
Toyota say you should change your timing belt every 74k miles or 5 years which ever comes first. If your belt warning light has been setup correctly it should come on 70k after your last belt change to let you know to change it. If in doubt or if you don’t have history on the vehicle change it to be safe.

One thing i have to say you didn't show was once timing belt was installed you crank over the engine twice by hand

[@dantheman1337]

That's just to check there's no interference if you are unsure of yourself

[@markdeedee]

Great video 👍 why you didn’t change the tension roller ?

[@l.a.hunter]

It looked in good condition, but yeah could of. Easy to do at a later date though as the timing belt is the harder bit to do.

[@neowave777]

Hey dude how come you got rid of this and got the proace?

[@l.a.hunter]

Hi mate, good question. It was a great van but it’s my only vehicle and not the best for commuting. Although reliability was on point. I do want to get another retro vehicle to convert maybe a Hilux or a Suzuki Carry.

Would the 2007 facelift model the same ?

[@l.a.hunter]

Not 100% sure if it is the same part number but the process will be the same. I had a look at some pics of the facelift model and the engine bay and the engine cover look the same as my 2005 D4D.

Are there any symptoms to let you know you need to change the belt? Like any noise or sound the engine would make? Thanks.
