Guest gigerj Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hi all, Can you tell me at what point the TT needs its auxiliary belts changing and how much is the job likely to cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gigerj Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Just briefly went through the turbo service pdf and it doesnt seem to mention the aux belts at all??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 this should help some........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gigerj Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 thanks scooter - is there no suggested mileage that the belts should be changed then? Also, worst case scenario - what would happen if one of the belts snapped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Also, worst case scenario - what would happen if one of the belts snapped? there is only 'one' aux/fan belt on the supra...............worse case scenario is it snapping at medium/high speed just before or mid corner, as you'll lose the power steering and its apparently very very heavy without assistance.............so worse case is a crash........more likely is a AA/RAC call out and tow home..... They are very tough belts, so if the ribbed side is not very cracked and the belt has not stretched (see the 'goal posts' on the tensioner) then it will almost certainly be fine. Looking at it another way though a new one will almost certainly outlast your period of ownership so why wait 6-12 months to renew.......

Guest gigerj Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Im on 140k miles now. So im thinking of refurbing the entire brake system and also getting the aux belts done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 The belt isn't expensive and isn't hard to change. If in doubt i'd change it, just make sure its seated on all the pulleys correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 The aux belt also drives the water pump so bye bye engine if you try to get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_si Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 is this the most likely belt to squeel in the morning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 is this the most likely belt to squeel in the morning? Yes, and some makes are noisy all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
