Want this question answered?
its a chain not a belt.... True. So unless it breaks, you don't have to change it.
There is no timing belt on a 2 litre Vitara. It has chain-driven cams.
The 2004 pathfinder has a chain not a belt 3.5 litre engine only the 3.3 has a belt and that engine was in the 2000 year model the 3.3 is not in the 2004 model
how to change fan belt
The Suzuki Forenza Maitnenence Schedule suggests inspecting it at 30,000 mile intervals and replacing it at 60,000 mile intervals. This car has an interference engine. That means that if the timing belt breaks the engine will suffer severe internal damage and will likely have to be replaced. Replacing the timing belt is rather expensive, but doing so may save you an engine..... Your not only supposed to check it at 30,000, but it needs to be adjusted. The belt will get loose after it has stretched and it needs to be tightened back up.
no its has a chain!
Change it at 90,000 miles. Warning: This is an interference engine so if the belt breaks serious engine damage will occur. Do not neglect this service.
You don't as the 2004 Honda CRV uses a timing chain and not a belt. It should last the life of the engine.
Replace every 105,000 miles. Know that this is an interference engine and if the belt breaks you will have internal engine damage.
Changing the timing belt is a major undertaking and a mistake in installing the new one could cause severe damage to your engine. This is not a job for a do-it-yourself person. I would highly suggest you take it to a qualified mechanic and let them do the work.
According to the Gates website : The 2004 Lexus ES330 , 3.3 liter V6 : Has a timing BELT , it is NOT an interference engine , change the timing belt at 90,000 miles
The alternator on a 2004 Suzuki Aerio can be removed by first loosening the retaining bolts and taking off the drive belt. The alternator is then fully unbolted and pulled from the engine.
